This day has given me much to think about and consider. I’ve been thinking about the soft, still voice, coming from within my soul, the one I’ve come to know as my Heavenly Father. God, He speaks through me, brings thoughts and images to my mind. He knows my heart. He knows the gifts He …

Going Outside the Comforts of the Womb
This morning my attention was drawn towards the comforts of being in the womb. Immediately I thought about work, knowing I will be leaving a place where I was welcomed in, who loved me first and I immediately fell in love with the people and school too! At some point in time, it was meant …
Great Things
Early this morning @ approximately 1:45 AM (1.30.2024), I woke up and took a bit to fall back to sleep. The words, “God has done great things for you–keep praying” kept repeating over and over and over again. I felt like I needed to keep saying these words for someone was in need of prayer, …
He Makes All Things Possible
God placed before me unexpected news, words of which I was unprepared to hear, let alone receive. I was nearly numbed by it. This wasn’t something I would have imaged to have happened to someone I know, rather suddenly. The person who shared this information, was the messenger, not the person who received the diagnosis. …

On 12.11.2020 I had a dream which felt like more than a dream, a visit from a loved one. My uncle David stopped by for a visit. His time here on earth was from October 18, 1924-February 25, 2007. I didn’t really understand all the details but I wrote down as many as I could …

His Light & Love Carries Me Through
On Thursday, August 13th, 2020 the school year officially began. Me, a teacher, new challenges, many changes, what a way to start. On August 14th, we had a full day of Zoom training. So much to learn, to know, process, take in (I knew I would grow). Overwhelmed, to say the least, was how I …

With the Right Mindset, You Can Turn Any Situation Around

He Opened My Eyes to a New Reality
Some of the things that have happened in my life, feel as if they have come from another dimension. Something, not of this world, things that felt quite foreign. Me, I was not myself. Actually, I really didn’t know who I was at the time, my body, my mind, my thoughts, perception in life, literally …
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. …
With God, I Can Do Anything!
Today was a busy and productive day. I felt as if I was running off of high-octane fuel. I love it when my energy, enthusiasm and motivation is high. At times, a little overly active, but that helped me to get an incredible amount of tedious work done that doesn’t happen during a regular school …

Love Yourself First As God Loves You
Falling in love is easy, isn’t it? Love at first sight. A smile, laughter, conversation, a touch. Is falling in love really that easy? We seek things in other people we want in our own lives. Maybe we think we have these deficits, not adequate or good enough and portray an image of ourselves to …

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 …
Live a Life of Love
For far too many years than I wish to count or admit, I told myself how bad of a person I was. I felt like such a failure. I felt as if I wasn’t good enough, nor did I do things right. I revisited the “mistakes” of my past. Like pressing rewind and play, this …
The Healing Power of Touch
This evening, I spent some time sitting in church in the back row, on a pew. A friend suggested this place as a source of inspiration to write and hear God speak His words. Unfortunately, someone just outside the door, was speaking rather loud to someone on their phone. So much for silence and peace …
Awakened From My Sleep
When I awoke this morning, I my plan was to get a lot of odds and ends tasks and cleaning done in my house. God, I believe, He had other plans. I felt like laying around, being lazy and sleeping all day. As much as I knew I really wanted to listen to my body, …
Messes Are Nothing in Comparison to His Love
Last week, I felt as if my life was such a mess. Old memories, days of my past, revisited, resurfaced, brought back old energy. So much hurt, pain, sadness and confusion, all flowed out in the form of tears. Tears, many tears. God, how many are there? Will these ever stop. Tears, they did flow …

Isn’t He Amazing?
I know when I write, I dibble, I dabble, I talk about various things. A little bit about this, a little bit about that. Life, I am learning to take it as it comes. The feelings, the emotions, the memories. God, He is so amazing for He has led me on this path. Helping me …
Selfless Love
Lord, I ask of you, to guide me, show me, point me in the right direction, where do I need to take my writing from here? Am I going down the right path? I do believe so, yet I am working more on my focus. What is it that I really stand for? Who is …
Life, As Seen From The Rear View Mirror, Is Not Always What It Seems
Life, looking back on, seeing the reflection on a rear-view mirror. The past, behind me, yet something keeps staring back. Something I am wanting to see. The past, it’s back there. Stop looking back. That’s not where I live. That’s not where I reside. Every day, I keep driving along, looking back, watching the rear-view …

Let There Be Peace
Today, the last day of September’s journal entry. I wondered, I thought about, I reflected on and yet, I knew I still needed to pray. The hour is getting late and what a wondrous night this has been. Had I written earlier in the evening when I felt prompted to, so much more emotion would …

Finding The Warrior Within
She was left alone to fight her own battle. The tears she shed, they did not matter. Crying profusely, not knowing if the tears would ever stop, she tried reaching out to him. No response, no reply, God knows she did try. He knew it was for her best to be sent in to war …
Confessions From a Friend
Dear Lord, There is something that is weighing heavy on the heart and the mind of a friend. When I met up with this friend, the encounter not the same…something seemed not quite right, unusual. Extra hugs, held tight, longer than ever before. Eyes were telling, that the heart was hurting, maybe breaking. On the …
God, Swings, A Notepad & A Pen
Lord, what is it you ask of me to do? This is the first thing that came to mind upon sitting on a swing to write, to simply enjoy life. In my profession and in my personal life, is what I am asking questions and looking for answers to. I will continue to ask questions, …
Peace in a Procedure
Today was the day of my long awaited, procedure. I wasn’t sure what to expect, so I had my questions answered before getting started. I felt much more at ease, but still uncertain, hoping and praying they find no cancer or disease. Right on schedule, we did get started. A little medicine to help make …
Dear Henry,
A 30-minute workout on the elliptical was all I was aiming for this evening after church. Better than nothing, I thought. I turned the radio on and a song came on which was pretty much towards the end. My initial thought was to get emotional…then I stopped and I didn’t know why I connected with …
He Speaks: A Message of Hope
The Lord called upon me, I answered.. Yes, Lord. What is it that you need me to do? I paused for a moment to listen more closely to what He had to say. He spoke through me, and I wrote the following words: Write down the words I speak. Let all people know how much …
What a Hug Can Do…
After coming home from work the other night, feeling sad, feeling blue. Not because I had a bad day, rather there was some lovin’ I needed—It’s True! Feeling bad about some choices I have made.

Have you ever felt such a strong connection to someone that you felt your friendship would last forever? I know I have experienced this in the past.

“Dis-Ease” Out of Balance in Life
One of my goals as I started writing my new blog was to write something each and every day. What I have realized is that when I get sick, have discomfort, “dis-ease”, it’s best not to push it and let all the words fall as they may. Long or short, in my writing, really doesn’t …
