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”

Pieces of Discernment

Oftentimes we are given a scripture or thought to spend time figuring out.  Maybe it was easily understandable — but other times, we can’t make heads or tails over the meaning, or if it’s even a message for US. This is when spiritual discernment steps in.  Find a trusted advisor, someone who is spiritually sound,Continue reading “Pieces of Discernment”

Holy Week Pieces

This is the week of great miracle.  Jesus rode a donkey through Jerusalem to his final death.  Parts of the journey were lovely, palm branches waved in the air, coats laid on the ground, our version of a red carpet.  Hallelujahs shouted, prayers said, celebrations made. The Last Supper The people angered for justice toContinue reading “Holy Week Pieces”

Pieces of Poetry

Often quoted, but rarely interviewed, Mary Oliver is one of our greatest and most beloved poets. She’s just released a new volume, Felicity, at the age of 80. And so we’re revisiting the interview she granted us earlier this year on the wisdom of the world, the salvation of poetry, and the life behind herContinue reading “Pieces of Poetry”

Pieces of Love

1 Corinthians 13  If I had the gift of being able to speak in other languages without learning them and could speak in every language there is in all of heaven and earth, but didn’t love others, I would only be making noise. If I had the gift of prophecy and knew all about whatContinue reading “Pieces of Love”

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.  Romans 4:20 But Abraham never doubted. He believed God, for his faith and trust grew ever stronger, and he praised God for this blessing even beforeContinue reading “Stronger Pieces”

Overwhelming Pieces

Today, a prayer was answered that came from a very heavy heart.  I believe when we intensify our prayer time, come to Jesus with everything we have, and all that we do not, with a pure heart and true honesty, when we lay down the hurt, grievances, heartache – God desires to free us fromContinue reading “Overwhelming Pieces”

Pieces from my childhood

I have been inspired by this book; since it sat on the nightstand table of my mother’s side of the bed since I was a little girl.  I used to hold the book in my hand, flip through the pages, look at the various drawings of seashells and wonder why it was so important toContinue reading “Pieces from my childhood”
