Pray more in 2024

Here we are...again... at the end of another year. Where does time and my life go? Again, we are going to be asked to pick a guiding word for 2024. I actually picked mine a couple of months ago, because my word for 2023 failed miserably. If you read my post from January 2nd of …

Blue, gold, Orange, and Green

As a young girl, I was highly sensitive and very emotional. I had sympathy and compassion for people, but even more so for animals. My imagination would let me be a vet, a lion tamer, the Bionic Woman, Kelly of Charlie's Angels, a wild child of the woods, basically anything I wanted. Most of the …

The short and long runs

Basically, the short run is doing what is easy at the moment and feeling bad in the long run. The long run is doing what is hard at the moment, but able to feel good then as well as later. Life is hard. Being a Christian is hard. Truth be told, I am good at …

Never Too Late

to learn what should have been taught/learned in childhood. That is where the foundation of our beliefs start. Childhood is where we are taught and/or learn how to start dealing (or not dealing) with hurts (physical & emotional) scrapes and bruises, heartbreak and dashed hopes. We should be taught, when we mess up there will …

Proof

God not only listens but hears. I was just lamenting to God about my situations. I was telling Him the more I try to focus (the church's word for the year) on Him, the more the world seems to fall down around me. I worry constantly about my grown children. I know, I know, worry …

Outlining

What is an outline? Anyone who has ever been in school, most likely has had to do an outline. So, what is it and why do it? Some people call it a tool, some say a map, or a guide. Whatever the word you want to call it, it's a way to organize and visualize …

The Struggle and the Response

Here we are at the start of another new day. Yesterday did not go well for me. Nothing really bad happened, it was just a Romans 7:15 day, I don't understand why I act the way I do. I don't do the good I want to do, instead, I do what I hate. Yesterday was …

Being In The Moment

The first thing I heard this morning was a song I like but always gets me thinking. It is called Keep Me In The Moment, by Jeremy Camp. This is something I am struggling with, because I do not like the moments I am currently in. The first lines of the song strike me deep …

Inspiration

I currently have none. I want to write. I like writing. I have no idea what to write about. I am going on seven months living what I call the gypsy lifestyle and it is getting hard. I am finding out just how spoiled I am from living on my own for 26 or so …

Ticked Off

That is what I am. I watched a documentary called "The Rescue". It is very well made about the twelve-boy soccer team and their coach that got trapped in the Tham Luang cave in Thailand. An early and unexpected rainstorm flooded the maze of cave tunnels, trapping all thirteen people inside in 2018. I remember …
