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 [...]

Rust

I’m feeling a bit rusty. ‘Hoping at some point soon it will be like riding a bike. I’ll just get back on and start peddlin’ like I did before. :) I’ve had a lot of great ideas and inspiration occur to me in the past few days, but because of my short term memory, they [...]

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 [...]

Just another manic…Wednesday

I’m so overloaded. I do not want to give vent to my frustrations, but I know there is a certain element of healthy to being able to do so. Sharing our burdens, so to speak. What’s the difference between whining/complaining and sharing burdens? Perhaps a study for me to look into. Nobody wants to listen [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

My Tiny Tornado

We’ve been up for two hours now…and my house is destroyed. Some days…is all I can do to keep my sanity in tact. She is the busiest, craziest, most curious, messy little cherub I have ever met. Course she’s the only one I’ve ever lived with, too. But today…in less than two hours, she has [...]
