I’m Holding On

Not sure how relevant the actual video footage is to what is going on inside my heart, but from it I see how broken we all are. That what I’m feeling is not my own. I’m not an island. Brokenness hurts no matter who it is.
I think I’ve posted this [...]

Thursday

I have new roomies, temporarily, for a month. They (a single mama and her teenage daughter) moved in today. I spent the day helping her clean out the house she’s moving out of. She’ll be downsizing to a condo rental and found a great deal, but the current tenants won’t be moved until the end [...]

I’m gonna write it all down

I haven’t even journalled much in the past few months. My voice has been taken, it seems, in a different form than it was before. But I realized a loop last night. I’ll go ahead and leap right through it. :o)
I woke up this morning in quite a bit of a funk. I’ve been [...]

Missions

In 2002 a seed was planted in my heart about missions. Perhaps I’ve shared this before, but at the time, I didn’t think it could be possible. Who am *I* that I could do something so important as missions. I mean, my life was a disaster. It didn’t seem real, but it was real enough [...]

Insert Post Header, Here

Feeling a pinch better today; a bit more energy. I’ve been so exhausted. My head has been cloudy. Life blurry. Sluggin’ along one day at a time. I’ve lost all concept of days and time and when things happened. The past three months has been a bit crazy. I think the pain medication I was [...]

Time enough
to do all the chores, join in the games, help with the lessons, and say the night prayers, and still have a few moments left over for me.
Energy enough
to be bread-baker and breadwinner, knee-patcher and peacemaker, ballplayer and bill juggler.
Hands enough
to wipe away the tears, to reach out when I’m needed, to [...]

Growing Pains

I’ve turned in the overwhelming oppressive yucky feeling about needing to do the right thing for a heart broken feeling. A self induced dumping myself out of the boat into cold frigid, rough waters. Whilst trying to gain my bearings…feels like I’ve been doing that for MONTHS now…my head is all over the place. Mostly [...]

There’s Nothing Left to Justify

There’s a saying that goes something like this… We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
I’ve finally come to a space that I’m in complete understanding of this concept. The clarity comes from having observed a relationship through many seasons of life. Five years worth [...]

Here I Am, Please Send Me…

It started somewhere around 2002…this pressing in my heart about Missions. Gospel for Asia was at the church that I attended for a Missions focus weekend. I picked up a book that was to sit in my book collection, unopened, until about a month ago. I can’t believe I still had [...]

Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there!
For those who do not have Dad’s, know that there IS a Father out there who is seeking you out right now. He wants to be your Father. He is the Father to the Fatherless. (Psalm 68:5)
And for those who are not yet Father’s, there are [...]
