Look What They Did
There was a time when trust was shattered and I was trapped in a “look what they did” mode. The wound cut deep, and in my pain, I pulled others into my suffering, seeking company for my misery. Anger and resentment became my constant companions, coloring my words and actions. I fixated on the hurt…
The Weariness in His Eyes
News flickers across my screen, faces, headlines, opinions-all tangled. My eyes dart across the chaos, searching for clarity, for something solid beneath the waves of commentary. Malachi 2:17 slips into the noise, a quiet voice amid the shouting. It’s hard not to label: Democrats, Republicans-each side painted, smeared, twisted until nothing feels familiar. The truth…
Stubborn Resistance
Hazy sunlight streamed through my window as I sat hunched over my phone, thumb scrolling endlessly through social media feeds. In the quiet, my unopened Bible rested beside me like an anchor ignored. My prayers trickled out, brief and desperate-“help me”-words falling flat in the air. Beneath it all, a deep yearning stirred, aching for…
Water, Water, Everywhere
There’s something about water that makes me either sigh or cry. And sometimes it is both. I looked up water in the Blue Letter Bible app and it says that “water’ occurs in 409 verses. That is a good number of times. With the recent events in our country, water seems to have a power…
The Big Pause
What makes you “give a big pause”? What if I told you there’s a word that appears in the Bible seventy-four times, would it give you pause? I recently started looking for a decorative something to hang on my wall in my kitchen. I was thinking a word maybe two from scripture. Went to Etsy…
Disaster
When faced with a trial (storm), how do you handle it? Think of the recent storms and all the evidence you have seen, now picture it was you in all that mess. How would you handle it? Cry and give up? Step up and start the work? Give God some credit? I recently went to…
Anxiety that leads to Rejoice
I am facing surgery on Tuesday (tomorrow) for my neck. I found out last week I would be having surgery. It is amazing what the mind thinks when anxiety flares… I started a poem…”If I meet Jesus Tuesday…” Not sure I can finish it, but I started it to work out some of the anxiety…
The writer in me
Have you ever desired to say something and you didn’t have all the words to do it? Writing became a passion of mine several years ago, actually back in High School I started writing but some unkind people made me stop writing. I started writing to express all the thoughts roaming in my head in…
Suicide Awareness
Have ever thought about what makes a person commit suicide? September is suicide awareness month, so I’m late in writing, I am open about my suicide attempts. As a hormonal teen I found myself bullied and unable to cope with what they said to me. I felt I had no one to talk to. Before…
