I’m not good at vulnerable. I’m not good at trust. I’m not good at grace. I’m not good at love. I have to learn to be vulnerable, to trust. God has surrounded me by some amazing women who love Him, who just love life and live. I find myself trying to keep my emotions, myContinue reading “Yea, though I walk through the valley”

Dragon slayer
So, yesterday was one of the most difficult days I’ve had in a long time. At one point I felt like Jim Carrey in Bruce Almighty. There’s a scene where he feels like God has destroyed his life, and he challenges God to bring it on. I’m totally paraphrasing and probably remembering wrong…lol…but that’s whatContinue reading “Dragon slayer”
Aching heart
My heart really hurts today. Today, one of the greatest people that I have known passed away. I’ve known him for about 32 years…one of the kindest, funniest, most caring men that has ever walked the face of the earth has entered into eternity. He wasn’t my father, but he was certainly my second father.Continue reading “Aching heart”
Hard decisions
When I signed up to be an adult, no one told me all of the nuances and responsibilities. I think that perhaps a handbook should be formulated to let you know that one day you may have to make decisions that, in the long run, are best for people but that, in the short time,Continue reading “Hard decisions”
Not if but when
Yesterday, I was contemplating the question of whether or not something I’ve been thinking about would happen. It was an if. If this is real, then this will happen. Today, I an contemplating when this thing will happen. I had a talk with a friend last night who is starting something that I know IContinue reading “Not if but when”
Growing up in faith
I always considered myself an empathetic person…I thought that I understood people’s experiences and circumstances even though I had never walked a mile in those shoes. Boy was I wrong. I’ve talked to people who had relatives who have cancer. I really thought that I understood since I had two grandparents who had cancer andContinue reading “Growing up in faith”
Challenging
Life has been challenging lately. Nothing is coming easily. I’m not whining about my life, because for the most part, my life is good. There are just *things* that keep coming up just when I think that life is running smoothly. I have some great friends. I know that I don’t show my appreciation asContinue reading “Challenging”
Reaping what you’ve sown
I am generally a person who gives to give. I don’t expect repayment…I genuinely love to give. When people are down and out, I try to give them comfort, laughter, a shoulder on which to cry. When people are in need, and I have, I give. I would give just about anyone the shirt offContinue reading “Reaping what you’ve sown”
Gems
I know that God works all things for good for those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose. I have used those words so many times while comforting people who were going through circumstances that I couldn’t fathom. I knew the words to be true, but I never had to knowContinue reading “Gems”
My wolf pack
I’ve come to realize, over the past few months, how much I need people. I’ve always wanted to have people in my life who would just speak truthfully to me…not try to please me, not try to make me feel better…just to speak the truth that, at times, I don’t want to hear to me.Continue reading “My wolf pack”
