It’s a Glory Thing
There was a time when I needed the things of life and love to feel affirmed, accomplished and accepted. What I had, what I did and who I was perceived to be… meant everything to me…it determined my self worth…it spoke to my sense of value. I saw everything and everyone through the lens of…

E way
The writer in me hasn’t exhausted her pen. The woman in me hasn’t expired in the wait. The worshiper I am is expectant of His glory, greatness, goodness and grace. Trusting God to visit life and love with His comfort and care. Although we’re walking through the shadow of death we fear no evil because…

“Just Let Me Cry” ~Violet Burns Crosby
My niece Violet was crying and her mother was trying to help soothe her by asking an assortment of questions and offering possible fixes or alternatives to what she thought/felt would appease her. This beautiful, brilliant obviously frustrated little girl clearly exclaimed amidst the dialogue “mommy just let me cry”. When my brother tells the…

Afresh
The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. (Lamentations 3:22-23 NLT) If you would have seen this plant after the rain and wind knocked it off the stand weeks ago, or when I watered it at the wrong time and the…

It Will Make Sense
Moments when life and love start to make sense help us appreciate the times when we dared to trust God and hoped against hope when it made no sense. We are so glad we didn’t give up, throw in the towel or forfeit. God is so faithful, so gracious and true to His Word. God…

Close
The part of my heart that holds you dearest, brings you close (front and center) when I need a little push…a pick me up throughout the night and day. How blessed I am to live and love “knowing” God’s heart towards me. Loving you in God’s stead is purposeful. That knowing helps me live and…

Coming
I don’t know about you, but I am living and loving for what’s coming. This pandemic, political unrest, and racial protesting has set us up, forced us even to consult, consider and conceed to the will of God. It encourages us to focus all our energy and prayer on what’s coming. Despite the bouts of…

Choice
Love is a choice. It’s a heart decision. We allow our hearts to feel something beautiful. It’s a wonderful experience and expression especially when it is authentic. Love for the sake of love is life’s greatest gift. It’s refreshing to witness the unexpected, the unexplainable, the unexplored. Hopefully that’s the love you give. It’s the…

Change
After awhile, after cycles of the same we tend to grow complacent, cold and callous. We get tired, we grow weary and we seek refuge from what becomes the normal occurence. We can loose our passion for the purpose of God for life and love. I understand “sick and tired”, “I don’t feel like it”…

Conduits
God uses flawed humanity to speak, do and minister (grace&/goodness) to the heart and needs of flawed humanity. Your kindness (that’s not really your own), effort, sacrifice and love may be mishandled, not appreciated, remembered, and even discarded by the flawed. You definitely will feel some kind of way and want some reprieve. Better yet…
