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? Every decision we made, every compromise, every nuance of our lives were wrapped around and woven… Continue reading Believing Lies
Recently I have had the supreme privilege of gathering with some amazing people. We meet up almost every week. We get a cup of coffee, tea or smoothie to sip on while we talk, laugh, pray, cry, contemplate and expound on what God is doing in each of our lives.
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.
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?

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
FRESH. Fresh is a word associated with many good things. Fresh fallen snow. The smell of fresh rain. Fresh baked bread. Fresh coffee. Clothes fresh from the dryer just to name a few. What happens when over time what once was fresh, new and exciting becomes stale and commonplace? Boring even. How do you make… Continue reading A fresh wind
