Confusing Pieces
Usually at least once a week I am mystified by a situation in my life and confusion sets in. Our first instinct is to fix it ourselves. BIG mistake. The more we try to fix, the bigger the problem becomes. It’s as if we are taking one small hill and overnight turning it into aContinue reading “Confusing Pieces”
Stronger Pieces
Happy 2016! This year our focus will be on strengthening our faith, looking at challenges with different eyes and learning that God is always, ALWAYS there. No matter what.

Pieces of Self Care
We are complicated beings. If you have faith in God, you have one less stressor than most, and it’s a great comfort when in pain; emotional or physical. However, it’s important we know when to care for ourselves, by letting others know — hey we need a break, or a nap, or I just requireContinue reading “Pieces of Self Care”
Pieces of Refuge
When we are fearful, feeling alone, unsure or a myriad of other emotions that make us want to crawl into a cave or throw a blanket over our heads, what better time than to seek refuge from your heavenly Father?

The biggest source of healing in my life, has been emotional. All of my broken pieces have been soldered back together;Continue reading “The testimony piece”
Pieces of Quiet
If you are feeling rundown, overworked, tired, or feeling a lack of faith — it may be time to decompress, recharge your batteries, find some quiet. 2 Chronicles 20:30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about. Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; andContinue reading “Pieces of Quiet”
Pieces of the Holy Spirit
The concept of the holy spirit has always been a difficult one for me to understand. Many of us grow up learning about the trinity; but maybe that is the end of the line. Or we speak in tongues; i.e. have received the gift of the holy spirit. What is it really? I find thisContinue reading “Pieces of the Holy Spirit”
Anxious Pieces
When life shifts, and it will; our perceptions, opinions and thoughts do as well. Negative or unkind words are hasty and later, regretted. During times of anguish; pray. And with your prayers of need, give thanks. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Whatever happens, keep thanking God because of Jesus Christ. This is what God wants you toContinue reading “Anxious Pieces”
