As I bid Monday goodbye, I sigh a deep sigh, and I allow myself to admit the feelings that have eaten at me as the day trudged by. I feel… Uninspired when I want to be encouraging. Impatient when I would rather be showing love. Overwhelmed by the to-do list I haven’t even had to […]
Meditation Mondays: God is Near
Loneliness rested upon my heart. Yet again, it threatened to take over all of me. “Is there no one, God?” “Yes, my child, I AM the One.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lies whispered into my ear. “Believe us. Dwell on what we have to say.” I cry out again, and I hear Him answer, “Believe the Truth. I […]

Meditation Mondays – Truth
Source What is truth? It’s such a confounding a question in 2012. Truth. A solitary word that brings about heated debates, leaves people searching and confused, and is often defined with a vague answer. But what is it? Aren’t people tired of being lied to?

My Humble Valentines Efforts
I had bigger plans for Valentines Day than I actually accomplished this year. This is typical of me. Not that I’m necessarily proud of this fact, but as I go through life, I’m working on accepting me for me. I don’t need an elaborate life full of beautifully intricate details. The key is still doing […]
The Sin Virus
Prepare yourself for a painfully honest view of my life this past week. It was not pretty. I toss Kleenex ® number 4,289 in the trash can, and I move my clogged head sluggishly around to survey the damage. Crumbs remain scattered on the table (and the floor and the counters, but whatever) yet they […]
Parents and the Dating Game
When I think back to how complicated and awkward life was when I first entered the dating scene, I thank God it’s over. No more lying awake at night, trying to figure out if this guy really liked me or not. No more fussing over what to wear or say the next time I saw […]
Meditation Mondays – My God Strengthens
I’m not going to attempt to utter profound truths today. I write this as I cough incessantly and try to remember how to make coherent sentences in the midst of the mucus that has taken over my head. I don’t feel strong today. I would much rather crawl back into my bed and snuggle up […]
