I’ve made some pretty major life decisions over the last year, and I find myself being questioned on occasion about if I’m being too ambitious, or if I’m perhaps over-reacting to the life-situations that have come to a head. For years, I’ve thought I was irrational, hypersensitive and overreactive, causing me to question my feelings, […]
Sharing differently today; I couldn’t sleep the other night and this came out, almost a dream but not quite…still I feel like there’s something to learn here, so I’m putting it out there hoping it reveals itself. THIS morning I got to thinking about old antique cars on tracks, the false sense of control when […]
Ever felt isolated? Been feeling isolated and it’s been a minute? Yeah. People have been telling me to get comfortable being by myself.

This may come as a surprise…but sometimes I question myself. I know. It’s crazy but it’s true. 😉 I can’t tell you how often I ask my Father to show me the parts of myself He wants to refine and the parts He’d like to grow. I ask that anything hindering my vision be cleared […]
Prayer time today. I told God that I knew I could do nothing apart from Him, that in Him I live and move and have my being (Acts 17:28). I asked Him what we were going to do with a situation we’ve found ourselves in. Then I admitted that I was really asking what HE […]
