Firmly Anchored

Drifting aimlessly like a ship lost at sea; my family and I swirling around and around endlessly in this sea of confusion. Salty spray slaps at our face mingling with tears of frustration and disillusionment. The sail and rudder intact but whipped out of our hands by high winds brought on by sudden unexpected change.… Continue reading Firmly Anchored

Letting Go

Little by little, layer by layer. Bit by bit. Moment by moment. Releasing the grip. Forgiving the thing. Forgiving them too.  Feeling the feelings.  Crying the tears. Angry and sullen.  The day set in grey.  The sun tucked away.  Reprieve feels far away. The burden too great.  The moment too heavy.  The way forward unknown. … Continue reading Letting Go

Tactics of the Enemy

This morning as I was making my way out the door, arms full; in pursuit of my vehicle to load up and get started on my day. I was going over the activities of said day and was deep in thought about some things that had been happening recently. Things that came as a surprise… Continue reading Tactics of the Enemy

The Sum Total of Who We Are

When asked, I jokingly say I am a Heinz 57 Christian. Not because I believe there is more than one God or more than one way to God. No, there is only one God and one way to God and that is through our belief in Jesus. I say that I am a Heinz 57… Continue reading The Sum Total of Who We Are

An Observation

Wheaties and Roman Meal bread toasted with lots of butter. Strong black coffee. Soft quartets singing in the background. Sunday mornings in church. Oreos from THE jar. Long walks, a day at the park, picnics, Slurpee’s and the newspaper. Time spent in the company of someone much older and wiser than myself. Home cooked meal,… Continue reading An Observation

Who But God

Who but God would make ice crystals that sparkled like diamonds in the morning sun. Who but God would make it so that our eyes could capture it but our cameras could not. I sat in my car this morning as the defrost did its thing preparing my car for the road to work; I… Continue reading Who But God

He Holds You

Today you might feel like you have been pressed down, crushed and then some. Maybe you feel like everything is stacked against you and it feels as if it will never let up. The pressure so intense, any little thing that comes next will cause you to crumble. Today you might feel as if you… Continue reading He Holds You

A Song to Heaven

Have you ever wondered what from earth reaches Heaven?  What God hears in Heaven?  Does he hear every sound made by us or just our prayers?  What makes him smile, laugh or shake his head and chuckle?   I was thinking about this the other day as I walked about outside enjoying the sunshine and fresh… Continue reading A Song to Heaven

Face of the Father

Over the long weekend my family decided to drive up and see other family in a nearby town. While there we grilled out, walked the shore of the lake and decided to drive a little further out and hike the gloss mountains. My husband and I grew up in the small town and surrounding countryside.… Continue reading Face of the Father

Forward Never Back

FORWARD. Arrows are released to fly forward toward the bullseye. Runners advance to the finish line forward. The battle of an army is won advancing forward toward the enemy. The waves of the sea change the shore by breaking forward onto the sand. We even spring forward from a long winter. Nothing is usually gained… Continue reading Forward Never Back
