Betrayed
The betrayal itself isnt what stings. Betrayal will eventually happen to everyone. What stings is the knowledge of who it was; what they were to you and how they could turn their back on you and…
The Father’s Redemption
But there was one man; My grandfather on my mother’s side. He was one of kind and could never be replaced. He taught me how to act like a lady, how to cook, and to take care of my things and how to love well. He also taught me to think for myself, that treasure can be found many places, and
Like Water
I walked out onto the sand, closer and closer to the waves brushing gently up against the shore. My heart and mind heavy, I sank down on a bank that had been washed away making it just the right height for my feet to land on the wet sand and surf below. The sun’s colors danced on one horizon as the moon dipped away on the other. It wasn’t quite morning, and yet it wasn’t still night.
Believing Lies
How many of us at one time or another believed a lie or lies we were told as truth? We believed it so much that we began to operate out of that falsehood as if it were the truth?

To forgive or not to forgive…that is the question.
In my last post I talked about being stuck and some of the reasons a person may stay that way. In the posts that follow we will explore each one a little more to see what nuggets of truth God may want to reveal. Today we explore unforgiveness.
Stuck
Have you ever been at a place and time in your life where everyday seemed to linger longer than the last? Tasks seemed to take forever or completing them feels as if you are wading through molasses? Nothing is moving. Nothing is changing. Nothing gives way to something better?
Too Hard for Words
Sometimes what we go through is just too hard for words. Sometimes the thing we experience makes no sense to our human mind. Sometimes the depth and breadth of it is just something we cannot wrap our heart around or rationalize enough to be at ease with it at all. What classifys as “too hard… Continue reading Too Hard for Words
