What is the grace of God? How do we receive it? What does it feel like? For me, it is forgiveness, guidance and assurance all rolled together. How it feels, differs with people, but I’d like to think it’s like getting an unexpected gigantic hug from a good friend. To be suspended by the graceContinue reading “Pieces of Grace”

Pieces of Moments
The title seems a bit improper. Can you have pieces of moments? Where I was going with this thought is, there are ordinary and extraordinary moments in our lives. Where do we find joy? Where does heartache go to heal? What of the prayer requests we send out? Are they tucked in-between the life weContinue reading “Pieces of Moments”
Pieces, scraps of paper
The original book (which this blog is based on), “The Pieces” is from journals, scraps of paper, various writing I have done inspired by my faith and what God has taught me. Here are a few unpublished revelations. “The Pieces,” my story, Your words. Inspiration & truth. Let’s save the world with You! There wasContinue reading “Pieces, scraps of paper”
Feeling Pieces
We often feel a certain way; anxious, sad, happy, joyful, worried, compassionate, etc. Feelings however, can mar our walk of faith. We tend to trust how we feel, instead of what God is actively doing in our life. Especially when it doesn’t seem like He cares or is listening, or has a plan. God alwaysContinue reading “Feeling Pieces”
Pieces of Serenity
Yesterday it was cold, cloudy and rainy. Today, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, the clouds are few, the birds are chirping. It’s a perfect Spring day. We find pieces of serenity in many places. A beautiful garden, a beach with gentle waves, hiking in the mountains, sitting outside with a cup ofContinue reading “Pieces of Serenity”
Pieces of Companionship
What does companionship have to do with faith? A lot, as it turns out! Conversation, conversion, discernment, spiritual direction, even sharing in community projects. It’s always more enjoyable with a friend. If you regularly attend a church, you maybe involved with the different ministries that support the members or outside communities; such as social justice.Continue reading “Pieces of Companionship”
Pieces of Prayer
Are you a believer in the power of prayer? Why? Why not? I personally have been on the receiving end of countless prayers throughout my life while dealing with chronic health issues. I’ve also come to believe that it’s okay, and necessary at times – to pray for yourself. It’s not selfish or weird! GodContinue reading “Pieces of Prayer”
Pieces of Exhilaration
It’s hard to find hysterical joy in life. Especially in the world in which we live. I’ve always been a “see the sunshine in the clouds” kind of person. I hope my positivity is contagious! Today at a Lent study, in all the exhilaration I could muster, I lifted my hands and said: “I’m jackedContinue reading “Pieces of Exhilaration”
Learning Pieces
For the past fifteen years I have been a spiritual seeker (and hope to continue). I have attended a variety of churches, Unitarian Universalist taught me how to care for Mother Earth, how to make change with social justice and I met a minister there who challenged my beliefs (in a good way), by askingContinue reading “Learning Pieces”
Pieces of Expectation
If you are anything like me, and have a little trouble with control, then this post is for you! It’s pretty easy to look at the life of someone else, particularly a loved one and think – they should be doing A, B or C. If they did those things, it would go so muchContinue reading “Pieces of Expectation”
