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

Just Thoughts
Rarely do we ever have it easy… especially on multiple fronts… usually, life hits us from several sides at once. All the negativity-all we do is complain to each other and about each other. I mean sometimes, we need to vent, you know, let out a little steam. Sometimes we need to share a little … Continue reading Just Thoughts
The Madness in Me
Slowly, gently, stroking my faceWiping the hairs from my browTucking them back behind my earHow delicate I feel just now!Leaning in close, the warmth I feelThe breath upon my fleshI close my eyes so I can feel The rhythm inside my chest The slow caress, the gentle touch Tracing the curves of my soulLovingly, tenderly … Continue reading The Madness in Me
Passive
I’m often described as a passive person. I don’t tend to react to things like many people do. I seem to let things just roll off of me and I keep on going. But people who really know me, know that everything has an effect on me. They start to notice the little changes…how I … Continue reading Passive
Possible
What is impossible? Someone sent me a message the other day about how where the impossible begins, that’s where God starts working… I get it. I understand what the person was saying. Whatever we face, God is in control and He makes the impossible possible. The challenges we face mean nothing when God is with … Continue reading Possible
Targets and Mercy
I might be the only person who feels like this, but I feel like I have a target on my back. I feel like people stare daggers through me. But why should they? Really, so much of the time I feel invisible: like I really don’t matter anyway; so why would someone waste their time … Continue reading Targets and Mercy
The Sun
We say that God is the sun; we equate His glory to the light of the sun. But God created the sun. He is Lord over the sun. We don’t worship the creation, we worship the Creator. And that’s the problem: we sit here and put things like the beach, the mountains, the sunrise…all this … Continue reading The Sun
Strings
My feet planted firmly on the ground Slip and slide beneath meAs my arms stretched out wideTwisted and pulled violently Eyes dart back and forth Taking stock of everything Hearing voices sounding wordsBut not fully comprehending Rooted in place, still as can beTrying to go unnoticed But here I am on display The puppet center, … Continue reading Strings
Thought for the Day
Every now and then, I have a “thought for the day” that I write and share with a few close friends. Today the thought was from Colossians. I want to share what I wrote for today, but first tell a little story. Like other parents out there, I try so hard to keep up with … Continue reading Thought for the Day
Farther
Farther along…but just how much farther do we have? Every journey has a destination…some trips last longer than others. Some roads are bumpy. Some are smooth. Some roads stretch on straight out before us as far as we can see, while others have hairpin curves, twists and turns leaving us holding on for dear life. … Continue reading Farther
