I’ve always wondered about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer. I mean I’ve always found it to be true…that those closest to me are the ones who hurt me the most. It’s in Micah. (7:6) I’m going to put the next verse in my words…he says let me alone in my darkness, GOD … Continue reading Close, and Closer…

Symphony
Every life has a song…a melody that ebbs and flows as it continues. Many songs start slowly, peacefully finding a soothing lullaby. The tempo races and rests from time to time. Some songs speed along, the notes flying off the page, racing, rising, falling octaves within moments at breathtaking speeds right from the start. There … Continue reading Symphony
Fires
Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah were tried by fire. Literally. Their faith was put to the test as they were thrown into the furnace for bowing to their GOD. The men who bound them and who threw them into the flames were immediately burned by the roaring fire. Yet these three calmly walked in the midst, … Continue reading Fires
Fear Not
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10 “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the … Continue reading Fear Not
Faith and Confidence
We all know the story of Daniel in the lions’ den. How his enemies conspired against him to put him there. How his GOD shut up the mouths of the lions and protected him. How even the king at that time was concerned with Daniel’s survival… Oh to have that faith, especially when the trials … Continue reading Faith and Confidence
All Over the Place
So, I’ve been doing a good bit of soul-searching lately. And I’m quite confused. Part of me is like “Oh, okay, that’s gotta be it…” and another part is saying “But wait, what about this…?” Do you ever feel like you take one step forward and five steps back? It’s like the harder you try … Continue reading All Over the Place
Do we?
I've been reading Jeremiah lately and I'll tell you, I can't help but wonder if it isn't about the current state of the world. You see, I don't believe in time. I don't think it exists. Yes, we have clocks and calendars, but they are means of organization. That's it. Something that people made to … Continue reading Do we?
Reaching Out
Have you ever noticed that when we most should reach out, we withdraw? Or, maybe I'm the only one who does that. Lately I've been struggling with some emotions and stress and I've been working on this by myself. I'm not asking for help. I don't usually ask for help. I'm a grown woman. I … Continue reading Reaching Out
What Level Are You?
I believe that life is painful in so many ways for so many people. And pain affects people in different ways. People who live with emotional pain are or can be depressed or needy, ill or difficult to get along with. People with physical pain can be cranky or irritated. Something that is hard for … Continue reading What Level Are You?
Vanity and Vexation
I sometimes wonder about what life will be like after I’m gone. It’s vain to think some thoughts I have, but I have them…so…? Like I’ve wanted to tell some people who’ve gone on what has happened since they’ve left. But I can’t. And I want to know certain things that might happen when I’m … Continue reading Vanity and Vexation
