“Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: Forget not the humble.” Psalm 10:12 KJV You know, we often think of prayer as a last resort. “Has it come to that” [where prayer is the only thing left to do.] But why do we wait to pray? When prayer is the answer? What more … Continue reading As a Last Resort

Processes
I’d read something somewhere… It was instructions for how to do something, like bicep curls, or something similar. Maybe it was a video… I’m not sure the format, but the point was to go slow. Well, that doesn’t work for me. I get my workouts in where I can and to get the reps, I … Continue reading Processes
Late Night
I read somewhere that people shouldn’t talk about their healing process. That recovery should be done quietly. I guess I understand on some levels where that would be beneficial. You don’t discuss your plans, you just do them. When you want to get ahead at work, you do it, you don’t tell everyone what you’re … Continue reading Late Night
By Grace
I was pregnant with my third child. Now, I must admit, I was not the typical joyful pregnant woman. I was mean and hateful. Every day, I fought the urge to hurt myself. I struggled with depression daily. As soon as the baby came, I was fine. But while the child was growing in my … Continue reading By Grace

Let Your Bread … Continue reading In The Chaos
This Cup
”saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.“ Luke 22:42 KJV I’m in a bit of a place, and have been for a while now. My thoughts have been on this bitterness I’ve been drinking, begging for it to be removed. Or perhaps for … Continue reading This Cup
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
One
“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;” Ephesians 4:4 (KJV) “Your calling”… we each have our gift that contributes to the one body of the Bride of Christ. Some are given the gift of prophecy, others the gift of service…some people can speak in … Continue reading One
Prayer and Praise
“If the foundations be destroyed, What can the righteous do?” Psalm 11:3 KJV I was thinking about traditions the other day, about what they are. How we do things in certain ways at set times to symbolize something that has meaning to us. I was lamenting the seeming end of a family tradition. This verse … Continue reading Prayer and Praise

Like you swallowed something Something bitter and vileAnd you just want to purgeAnd you spit out bile. No matter how much you heaveHow much comes outThat lump is still there Growing bigger, no doubt. … Continue reading Depression
