Lost Passwords

I haven’t written for awhile because I couldn’t get into my account. Well, it took some finagling and I’m back! We have so many passwords in our life. There is one we don’t need to memorize and that is opening the Bible! Wherever you are, you can pop it open, or continue reading for aContinue reading “Lost Passwords”

Closure Pieces

How many times have you heard “Let go, let God”? I’ve heard it plenty in my life and I may follow through with that sage advice 50% of the time! Letting go is often referred to “closure,” another word which basically means time to heal, move on, let go. Recently I experienced the lifting ofContinue reading “Closure Pieces”

Pieces of Grace

Today is my sister’s birthday in heaven. She passed away in 2020. It’s been a hard loss and I’ve written about it frequently. Today I have seen two butterflies attempting to get my attention; I feel they are her spirit visiting. I am standing in the grace of God, healing the pain of grief, allowingContinue reading “Pieces of Grace”

Disruption Pieces

When chaos or negativity interrupts your life, how do you react? With worry? Try to fix the situation yourself? Gossip? PRAYER, conversation with your Father. Bring it all to Him, and then LEAVE it there. No need to keep hashing it over in your mind, causing undue stress. God whispered to me last night “I’veContinue reading “Disruption Pieces”

Never a Bother

That’s quite an expression, Pooh has. It could mean so many things. Depends on how you look at it. Oh, isn’t that true of life, in general. It all depends on what you see/choose to see! I’ve probably been a real downer lately, my friend Mari made a bookmark for me that says: “If IContinue reading “Never a Bother”

A Season of Grief

The first day of summer is next week. Although I look out my window and see blue sky, sun streaming in, green grass, beautiful trees; in my heart, I feel mostly winter. Cold, dark winter. It is like the bottom of the well. A cave without light. An empty pit. Hollow. Disconnected. On my continuousContinue reading “A Season of Grief”

There is no “I” in Jesus

We are our own selves when we don’t have Jesus in our life. We let the ball roll where it may, we take little responsibility, we can keep hate in our heart, it’s not really a pleasant place. But this is where most people are before they are saved/walking a life in faith. Jesus doesContinue reading “There is no “I” in Jesus”

When It’s Too Much

Yesterday I received news that a friend passed away. I made a list in my mind of all I have lost since 2019. TEN! I haven’t even found peace with my sisters’ death in 2020, it’s been a hole in my heart. Now add another to the grief-bag and I just feel like it’s tooContinue reading “When It’s Too Much”

Disciplines

This is one of those tricky words. For some it might mean punishment, but I recognize it as a “specialty, education, or hobby.” Something you have mastered, are considered an expert in, or even a type of degree or experience. i.e. Key areas include architecture, planning, landscape architecture, art and design disciplines, geography, interior designContinue reading “Disciplines”

Irony

Yesterday I wrote a little about the various religions. Then later in the day I found a discussion on NPR about religious experiences people had had. It was a little mind-blowing! I think God definitely has a sense of humor and timing! Just as we experience the mundane in our daily lives, so do weContinue reading “Irony”
