Words have the ability to hurt us or uplift us, and this week felt like being shot down with an arrow. Every hope, every dream, and every step forward suddenly felt unfounded, ridiculous, and unworthy of being pursued. It has taken me a long time to call myself a writer. Still, every, “What do you […]
God Will Restore You
I started watching this show, “Remedy,” about a chief of staff dad and his children, two daughters (a surgeon and a nurse) and a son, Griffin, working in the same hospital. Griffin is the black sheep of the family. He dropped out of med school. He was a drug addict. Disappeared for 2 years without […]
Bible Study: John 3, By Faith

When we’re aware we won’t be caught off-guard. There’s less chance for someone to come close enough to attack us. Sometimes, eye contact is all it […]
Why I Don’t Celebrate Lent
I’ve been quiet on my blog this week. Maybe I over talked myself with The Single Woman’s 30-Day Blogging Challenge, but even though I haven’t posted anything, I’ve been reading. And I’ve been reading a lot about Lent. Lent started this week. I’ve been wanting to write about it, but…not. I’m torn. Here’s why. I’m part […]
