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
Forgetful
“Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.” Jeremiah 2:32 KJV Maybe I’m the only one, but I don’t think I could forget my wedding day. There are always little things that stick out in your mind on a day like that. Whether … Continue reading Forgetful
Gifts
“A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.” Proverbs 18:16 KJV This verse was shared with me…it reminded the person of me. I don’t know why.

Basics
Let’s get back to the basics… Look at the problem and break it down. Get to the root. If you want to get through this, you have to get to the source; get to the foundation. That’s where you start. We all look at the big picture…we see the mountain, not the path or the … Continue reading Basics

When prayer is the answer? What more … Continue reading As a Last Resort

Well, that doesn’t work for me. I get my workouts in where I can and to get the reps, I … Continue reading Processes
Unclear
Empty, hollow, Like a never ending echo,Reverberating off the walls; Indistinct and unclear.Head pulsating,Rhythmic and methodical beats,Vision dancing at rapid speed Indistinct and unclear. Shake this feeling,I can’t seem to make it through this,My life is quickly becoming Indistinct and unclear.

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
