A glimpse of light in darkness

One of the most important parts of the morning is my coffee mug. As I rise early and it's still dark, I creep downstairs and I know I don't need any other light except the blue light on my Keurig . I quietly fumble around in my cabinets for a coffee mug. Then a get my creamer out of the fridge. As a look at my Keurig, I see the water level is low, but it looks like there just might be enough water for one cup. I take a chance, risking the disappointment of those flashing words on the screen "needs more water". But my risk pays off and it turns out I have just enough to meet my need at that moment. What I blessing it is!! With pure delight, I run upstairs to my room, quietly as not to wake anyone. My alone time with God is so important. Still without any lights on, I open one of my blinds. So I can bring in the daylight thinking about God. I know that in the morning if I get up and seek Him. He gives me exactly what I need for that day. I am praying that as I reach out to you, you will find hope, peace, encouragement, and connection.

The best fight ever...............

Marriage.................................It's not easy. It is a colorful creation full of ups and downs, highs and lows. And some desperate times. It cannot be done without God. It is His invention and only He can navigate you through it. But marriage is worth fighting for. You don't always have the energy to fight anymore and that's ok. It's ok to not be ok. It's ok to not be ok with your marriage. It's ok to not be ok with your life. Just know that not being ok, with your marriage, doesn't mean that it's over. Not being ok, with your life, doesn't mean that its over. In the last couple weeks I have struggled with temptations of epic magnitude. God has seen me in my struggle. Struggling with my emotions. Struggling with my desires. Struggling to stay faithful. He saw me. He didn't look at me and say "I can't believe you are thinking this". He didn't look at me ans say "I...

Think before you defend yourself

I get on social media and I do my best not to be critical of anyone. It's not my place. I do find it kind of interested how personal relationships, insecurities, and hurts are expressed where the whole world can see. Social media is like this enigma that continues to spark my interest. I find myself asking "why would he/she share something so deep and personal with people who don't know them or even care?". I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. I just find myself being very curious and intrigued about why? There is one trend I see, on social media, that sparks a bit of concern. The amount of time we spend defending ourselves and our decisions on social media. I get concerned because I realize that when we spend a "noticeable" amount of time defending ourselves publicly, it is a strong indication that their is a much bigger private battle going on within . Social media speaks volumes to me about inner battles we go through. ...

No more feeling trapped

When I first started being a full-time homemaker, it became a snare to me. I was very hard on myself and put alot of expectations on myself that were not from God. My husband would get up early in the morning and go to work and I always felt like I couldn't sleep late. Not that I got up with him but I remember feeling guilty if I slept past like 9:00am. Honestly, I felt guilty doing alot of things. Things that if I could of done freely, I would probably be a lot further then I am now in my writing and other giftings that God has given me. I spent 2 days a week at home cleaning. The other 3 days, I struggled. When I would go to the bookstore to read, I felt guilty. I would think "Is it fair that I get to relax at the bookstore while my husband out working to provide for us?". Sometimes I would want to go to the Amish market and eat breakfast. They had a restaurant in the Amish market with great breakfast. I would ...
