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

Praise
How do you praise GOD in the storm? Maybe instead of seeing the storm, we should see what could have been…if GOD is not with us, how much worse would the storm have been? Maybe the storm we face is a blessing. We could have seen the storm that took out Sodom or Tyrus, but … Continue reading Praise
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

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

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

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?
Migraine
Even through my closed eyes I could see the light…all lights off, the door closed and I lay on the cement tile willing this to stop. Blinding light in the dark. No source. Just light shooting pain like daggers. My vision failed as heat waves rose and I shivered as the temperature dropped. Cold sweat … Continue reading Migraine
My Skin
I need to take a hit; just a quick fix; it’s been so long since- the last time I slit, my skin. You know what I mean; we all have a crutch to lean; takes the edge off things; a little relief it seems: no spin. I’m spiraling right now; losing control somehow; wanna let … Continue reading My Skin
Less is More…
Do you ever get obsessed with a thought or idea? What started out as a passing glimpse becomes a full on panorama. The thought grows. We feed it. What wasn’t an issue two minutes ago is now about to blow up… All because we feed the idea. Minimalism is a way of life for many … Continue reading Less is More…
