One minute everything seems to be okay. Life seems quiet. No storms. Just when you think things are quieting down… taking a turn in the right direction. Then the phone rings late. I can hear a voice talking loudly on the other end. The curtain has once again come down. I crawl into bed, hoping…

God’s Got This One…
I am a creature of habit. Everyday I take the same route to and from school. With several routes available, I stick to the same one. I do not notice detail. I can pass by the same object or place day in and day out and not notice some obvious detail. One late afternoon back…

Where to begin? I love to write! Writing is my escape. I communicate best in words on paper. I’ve blogged for six years. I never seem to be at a loss for words.

Longing…
Longing. We all have longings. At times we experience things we don’t long for. We don’t long to hurt or be hurt. We don’t long to fear or cause fear. We don’t long to shame or be shamed. We don’t long to lose or be lost. What do we long for? We long for connection,…

My Words for 2014…

in Gifts, Grace, Healing, Hope, Humor, life happens…, Prayers, Questions to Ponder, Seasons, Struggles, The JourneyI promised myself that I would not make a list of resolutions for 2014. Each year I do it. Each year I’m disappointed in myself by mid or late January. This year I have been thinking about 2014 from a more global perspective. What is the “big picture” for my year? What do I want…

Do you remember as a child getting a new coloring book and maybe even new crayons? The excitement when you opened that brand new book that had not one bit of coloring in it! It was all yours and you got to fill it with color and design! And doing that with new crayons made…
