God Got My Attention and Left an Impression
Earlier in the day yesterday, I didn’t make time for a walk around the block at lunchtime. I knew when I got home, I needed to get outdoors and take in some of the cool air, daylight, before darkness set in for the night. My pace was steady and fast as I had the need …

Personally Speaking
Have you ever been surrounded by people you love yet feel so alone? I have been there, going through, visiting this space and time in my own mind, a world no other than my own. I have experienced brokenness throughout my life. An unknowing, uncertainty of who I am and what I am going through. …
Designed By God
The summer of 2015 provided my family and I with a new beginning in our lives. After living in a 2-bedroom condo for many years, we finally had a place of our own which was separate from neighbor’s homes, no longer being physically connected to ours. Built near the end of our cul-de-sac, I felt …

Hearing The “C” Word
Below is the link to the article I had published on 9.29.2020 on the Live Breathe Alaska website. I have been very excited about sharing with everyone, so here it is! Not that the “C” word is something to get excited about, rather it’s about community, finding connections, common ground and understanding. “The conversation shifted …

For Whom Do You Write?
When you write, where is your focus? How about your mindset? What is your frame of mind…reference? Getting caught up in mindless chatter, noises heard in the mind, can make it hard to hear (even harder to write), the words in which He is trying to speak. Find a safe space, one that feels warm, …
Be the Light
I couldn’t help but think of the Thomas Rhett’s song when I looked back on what I had written two years. He says “Be A Light,” whereas I referenced “Be the Light.” Who knew, this day in age, how powerful this is and rings true. Now more than ever we need to uplift one another, …

Taste and See
Galatians 5:22-26 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying …

Time Alone With God IS Time Well Spent
Neglecting time, I could be spending with my family to spend time with God, doesn’t mean I don’t love them. By doing so, I am placing more respect on myself and my needs to become a better person. I, too, need time alone, sacred and intimate time to hear His voice and feel His unconditional …
Blessed Abundantly
Making time for, being present with the Lord, has been challenging in recent days. I acknowledge Him, I give Him thanks and praise, but our time together has been limited with distractions, difficulty focusing, hearing His voice and deep, unconditional love. As I exercised this morning, I thought about listening to a country music playlist, …

Everything is Going to be Alright!
Be mindful. Give not, into fear. Yes, these are trying moments and times in our life. Media being blasted with the “C” word wherever we look, and it’s not Christ we are hearing about. Where we need to be looking is within ourselves and up to God. He is the ultimate Healer, be a believer …

Freedom of the Soul
The feel of freedom has felt so foreign, not knowing how normal peace and calm would feel. My body, I do believe, is doing some adjusting. Becoming one, feeling safe, knowing that freedom can be had at last. Give it up to God, all of which that is not mine, the weightlessness I do feel. …

Trust Your Gut, Stay on Track, God Will Get You There
God reminded me of something very important this evening. In an effort to support a friend, offering advice, offering comfort, bringing peace to their mind, the importance of doing the right thing, no matter what! Being a voice, being an advocate, being someone who stands up for the “little person” and believes in them whole-heartedly …

The Day My Soul Cried
Today I felt so many emotions bottled up on the inside, trying so hard to contain everything. Things that I was feeling, experiencing, coming from outside the walls of me. Other people, frustrations, high energy, feelings, nearly engulfed all that I am. I tried so hard, really I did, to just that energy pass. Let …

By the looks of the clouds floating high above me, I felt as if I was surrounded by angels. Clouds that were stretching out like that of angelic wings.

Evening Gratitude
Such a peaceful night. In my mind, my heart and my soul. Sitting here relaxing, wondering what to write. God, He usually has something He wants to tell me or say. Have I not heard from Him this evening, or is He just pausing and giving me a break? Allowing time for me to rest …
There’s Nothing Love Can’t Do
People will one day wake up and say, Who is she? Why haven’t we heard of her name before? Her writing, so raw, so pure, inner beauty—flawless and unique. How did she come to be? How can I learn more about her? Never have I met or known anyone quite like her. Her thinking, so …
Temptations: Making the Conscious Decision to Do the Right Thing
As I thought about my blog and things to write about, I allowed my mind to pause and wander a bit. A thought, an idea come to mind, but that wasn’t the right one, I felt. The answer came immediately after that as I started talking about it in my own head. I got it! …
