Lowly
I often sit in the background. I prefer to sit behind other people; not because I devalue my self worth, but because of my pride. You see, I am confident in my abilities, but I don’t need to be loud about them. My actions speak far louder than any of my words ever will. I … Continue reading Lowly
My Soul
“It is well with my soul…” (Horatio Spafford “When Peace Like a River”) Do we have the humility to claim that statement? Pride often prevents us from accepting blessings. Does that sound odd to you? Wouldn’t you think that pride deserves accolades? Pride is boastful, after all, right? Pride puffs up, right? So wouldn’t blessings … Continue reading My Soul
Take Time
This morning, I was doing some thinking. I was thinking about something my mom would say to me when I was sick. She would ask me if I would rather go to work and do what I could and get paid for being there, or sit at home, feeling bad, worrying about work and not … Continue reading Take Time

How Often…
How often do we lie to ourselves? When we look into the mirror, do we see ourselves as we are, or do we see our reflection distorted by our imagination? Do we show ourselves any grace? How often do we tell ourselves we’re not good enough? How often do we put ourselves down? How often … Continue reading How Often…
Tunnels
The light at the end of the tunnel…I once joked that the light flickered and faded and all I saw was the dark tunnel. Here’s the question: what is the tunnel? Usually they are underground…a way to go from one place to another. Sometimes it is cool, temperature wise, with the earth on all sides. … Continue reading Tunnels
Worry
None of us are immune to stress or worry. We all suffer, maybe in different ways, and we all feel the effects of external forces. Some of us try to hide while others can't help but showing their feelings. Neither way is right or wrong. We also cannot measure the level of worry another has... … Continue reading Worry
