It’s been a while since I have written anything. Life was hectic before the storm and since the storm, I feel like I’ve been fighting for life. The storm that hit brought more than just the natural disaster…It brought internal turmoil on every front. I’m going to tell you that God is good. I haven’t … Continue reading Life Lately

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
New Wine
New wine…we ask God to make us new wine; a new life with new meaning, part of His vine, a branch to bring forth new fruit. Oh, but at the pain we face when being made into new wine. We must be crushed in the press. Left to ferment, uncared for by natural eyes. We … Continue reading New Wine
A Delight
“And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast … Continue reading A Delight
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
Thoughts on Sin
“Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, And hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.” Psalm 7:14 KJV Why do we fight with sin? Why do we try to bury it? Or cover up our transgressions? Do we not realize that by doing this we are actually planting seeds and giving sin a place to grow? If … Continue reading Thoughts on Sin
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
Struggling
This isn’t my usual thing, but needed to take a second and get this out. Gosh, I feel like I am rotting away. I know I am full of sin; I fear my heart isn’t always where it should be. But my flesh is literally rotting before my eyes. I’m not alone in this struggle … Continue reading Struggling

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
