“Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.” 2 Corinthians 3:5 (KJV) When we lay aside the things we think and focus on the things that the Lord says, we can find comfort. Daily we face trials and temptations and we often think … Continue reading Sufficient

Sarcasm and Sincerity
Sometimes I worry that my sarcasm and sincerity sound similar. I know they do. I have no doubt about it. And that bothers me to no end. I don’t like it that when I pay someone a compliment it sounds fake. But I don’t mind it when I say something that isn’t the nicest, and … Continue reading Sarcasm and Sincerity
Helpers
I have a friend who I depend on to listen when I need to talk. She doesn’t have to say or do anything; sometimes, I just need to say some things to get it out of my mind. I also try to pray…continuously… about what I feel the need to say. Like I said, I … Continue reading Helpers
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
My Soul

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
Blinking Cursors
Do you ever want to type a message to someone but you sit there and stare at the blinking cursor, not knowing what to say? Like you have something on your mind, but you can’t get it to meet your fingers or you can’t even form the words? You just sit there and stare, willing … Continue reading Blinking Cursors
A Thought About Comfort Zones
I was just thinking about comfort zones…you know how we really don’t like leaving our space or going outside of our level of expertise. We usually find a groove and just kind of stay there until we are forced to move. The Lord says He never sends us anywhere He would not go; furthermore He … Continue reading A Thought About Comfort Zones
