Victorious Suffering ... sounds like an oxymoron right? A friend and I were discussing this very thing earlier today. We came to the conclusion that people often think suffering has to defeat us but, as believers, we have the One who overcame the world by fighting on our behalf so we can have victory in… Continue reading Victorious Suffering
Rambling Thoughts
I have mentally written two or three posts in the last few weeks over various subjects but haven't bothered to type anything up. My mind has been all over the place lately. I may share the reason for this later on or I may not and while I may have a page dedicated to my… Continue reading Rambling Thoughts
An Open Letter to My Readers …
Dear Friends, I’m not really sure why I am writing you an open letter since everything that I write, I feel like, is basically a conversation with you … but I was reminded this week to be careful about sitting on my high horse as it can be a long fall from that high of… Continue reading An Open Letter to My Readers …
Practice Ephesians 4:2
Over the last week, I have written and deleted several posts. I had so much on my heart yet I couldn't find the right words with which to say them. I have been and am frustrated over the political climate in our country. I am over the moon in love with my niece, nephew, and… Continue reading Practice Ephesians 4:2
Truth Is … We Can Handle It
Yesterday, my path crossed on Facebook with another 32-year-old woman who was struggling with the fact that she was single. I sincerely told her that it is better to be holy, whole and alone than dating the wrong person. But like most she struggles seeing friends getting married, coming home to an empty house and not… Continue reading Truth Is … We Can Handle It
No Hired Hands
A few weeks ago, I was sorting through some things to throw away when I came across a conversation that I had printed out between myself and a guy I had met on Christian Mingle. This was the last guy I talked to before I quit the site in the early Fall. As I read… Continue reading No Hired Hands
Happy New Year!
Well, it's 2017! Can you believe it?! 2016 seemed to fly by. It's amazing how when you start measuring your years by the little ones in your life how quickly time passes! The general consensus on Facebook seems to be that 2016 was a very hard year for many people. It was a pretty average… Continue reading Happy New Year!
Words from Isaiah
Well, I wrote a different post yesterday but the Lord hasn't released me to share it which happens from time to time. So, for now, I am "sitting" on that post and we'll see how the Lord directs me to use it. Until then, I spent some time in Isaiah this morning and several verses leapt off… Continue reading Words from Isaiah
A Time of Reflection …
"[ The Magnificat: Mary’s Song of Praise ] Mary responded, “Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! For the Mighty One is holy, and he has done great things for me." Luke 1:46-47, 49 As I start to look towards 2017 and think about my goals for… Continue reading A Time of Reflection …
This Isn’t A Game
I will never understand why some married men don't wear wedding rings ... especially when they aren't in a job that restricts them from wearing it. Or at the very least mention their wife in conversation. In case you are wondering, yes, I was just made a fool. But it happens. I wasn't flirtatious, yet,… Continue reading This Isn’t A Game
