Life in the Back Row
There are things that bring back very vivid memories for me…some painful some not. This evening I was playing through some praise music I found in my organizing spree and I began to play “Mighty to Save.” Everyone needs compassion Love that’s never failing Let mercy fall on me Everyone needs forgiveness The kindness of…

What Happens Afterwards?
It’s been a weird week or so. Do you know what I mean? I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s been a little off. I think I know part of the reason and it’s quite surprising to me. Particularly because I thought I was kinda past all this stuff. You know all healed…

When You’ve Got Nothing Left to Give…and need some help and some hope
About three months ago I began a program to get my teaching license and eventually my Masters in Education. At the time it seemed like a really good thing…even though I don’t have the money to pay for the program nor is the time to do it clearly evident. In fact when I was interviewing with…

Are You Okay with Broken?
Broken. One of those words that doesn’t bring a lot of joy. Who wants to be broken? Broken things. Broken bones. Broken relationships. Broken vows. Broken homes. Broken hearts. I assume we are all on the same page and don’t want that word to describe much if anything in our lives. In fact, the…

But I guess after my husband left, I’ve wanted someone to love me – to…

Surviving the Storm with Some Sanity
Surving the Storm with my Sanity God keeps reminding me that He is the answer. That living without Him and time in His Word, just doesn’t work well. I forget that His yoke is easy and His burden is light…my yoke is heavy and crushing at times. Even if you can’t handle your life, I pray…

A Quiver Full of Wonderful
Recently I was interviewed for an article in an absolutely beautiful Christian magazine. It was a pleasure to speak to the interviewer and I hoped that my message would be a blessing to anyone who read the article. Unfortunately, I was not blessed by reading the article. I was distraught. I was so surprised by…
