I wrote this post late last night with the intention of scheduling it for next Thursday. But this morning, I can't get it off my heart. I woke up singing the song. And I'm praying that maybe by the time this day rolls around again next week, I'll take my own advice. March 21st. It's [...]

Stacked Up Complaints
I have no life changing revelation to share today. Nothing to say that you don't already know. But I need to say this out loud. Because the doubt and worry is so loud in my head, I'm afraid it might get lost. Count your blessings. We sing the song, we see the encouraging quotes, we [...]
Misplaced Hope
"Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life." Proverbs 13:12 Deferred - to put off to a later time; prolong; delay We live with a lot of hopes. I hope it's gonna snow. I hope traffic isn't bad. (And it always IS!!) I hope I get [...]
That Same God
At the beginning of last year, I was feeling better than I had in a long time. I was looking forward to doing so many things I hadn't been able to do. I made plans, had dreams. And then about the middle of January, those were all crushed. I progressively got worse and worse. 2018 [...]
God Had a Reason
Why did Jesus come as a baby? Why Mary & Joseph? Why Bethlehem? Why a stable and some shepherds? Why at night? There are as many answers to the "why's" as there are questions. But the following is just one person's thoughts. Maybe they will provoke your own. Nothing about the Christmas story makes any [...]
He doesn’t have to make His presence known.
Have you ever NOT felt God? Ever not heard Him? Or seen Him? Ever feel like you are alone? We all have. I think. I hope I'm not the only one. Sin can make us feel distant from Him. Because we are. He can't have fellowship with us when our sin stands between us. But [...]
The Manual For Suffering
We are bombarded as Christians with the question, "Why does God allow suffering?" No one likes the answer, but the Bible does give us a reason. I've been studying the book of Hebrews lately, and normally I think of it as the book of "faith". But this time around reading it, I have seen it [...]
Casting and Coming
We've all seen the funny memes about carrying all the groceries in one trip. It's funny because it's true. What's not so funny, though, is we try to do that in life too. It seems like you hardly ever carry just one burden. Most of the time, it seems like we are carrying the weight [...]
Words
I sit and stare at a certain wall in my home, almost all day, every day. I made a gallery wall of sorts a while back. I mainly used things I already had, 1 or 2 pieces I got a long time ago from hobby lobby with my 40% off coupon, and some things I [...]
Out of Alignment
For anyone that's been following my blog for a while, you know I've been dealing with dizziness for over 3 years. It has been a hard trial to go through. At the beginning of 2018, it got so much worse. I couldn't sit or walk or lay down or do anything without feeling off [...]
