Earlier today a bird flew into my front door… The door was closed and the bird sadly didn’t make it… I read where birds can become lost in the glass and fly into windows thinking they are heading into more open spaces not knowing they are rushing headfirst into a hard object. Hmmm… How often … Continue reading The Bird

Sure
“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. Our thoughts are often vain imaginations. We give ourselves far … Continue reading Sure
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
The Rain
Bring on the rain… Honestly, some days I feel like I need a good cleaning. I feel so dry and dirty…I need that refreshing shower to come and wash away my guilt and shame. It’s been naturally dry in my little area of the world, and I’ve spent many breaths asking for the rain. The … Continue reading The Rain

Zedekiah didn’t surrender; he stayed in Judah waiting on the siege. And I wondered, do I do the same? Do I try to save face and fear … Continue reading Surrender

There are always little things that stick out in your mind on a day like that. Whether … Continue reading Forgetful

It’s almost like I can’t breathe This feeling suffocating me A darkness surrounding me Caressing and enveloping me. I can’t see it, but I know This grip won’t let go, Elusive yet steady hold, Willing me to lose control. Just give up, give in Let the darkness win, There’s no rest when This fight doesn’t … Continue reading The Dark

She said it had something to do with wherever I go, I seem to be the person to go to for advice and answers. … Continue reading Gifts
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
