Our minds are like the tallest tree where the heaviest and strongest winds test the strength of the branches. Our thoughts are the many leaves attached to each branch. Some thoughts gladly let the wind take hold of them and send them either soaring in the rush or floating gently down. There are those others,Continue reading “Let the Wind Take Hold”

A Delicate Balance
Writing for me is a delicate balance of knowing not only what to write, but also when to write. Ideas are constantly swirling inside my head. I see everything in the world as a story idea. However, I am also all over the place. I see stories in forms of children’s books, short story ideas,Continue reading “A Delicate Balance”

A Reflection on Psalm 34:4-7 Reason to Shine
I shine with the radiance which can only come from Him. There is no more shame, no more regret. I am saved from all my troubles, left only with security, protection and love. Sheltered by the angels’ love, I am saved. I am rescued. I am delivered from all my fears. My despair is lifted.Continue reading “A Reflection on Psalm 34:4-7 Reason to Shine”
Sealed and Unopened (Dedicated to my Dad this Father’s Day)
Every year for Father’s Day, I set out to find the perfect Father’s Day card for my dad. For him and I, this card expressed our relationship.

Anything sappy wasContinue reading “Sealed and Unopened (Dedicated to my Dad this Father’s Day)”

Last night I decided to do my training at 9:30 pm. It was a decision that I would regret the next morning because I was so sore, but it was perfect that night. The night was filled with sounds of crickets and tree lizards loudly letting the world know of their existence. There were evenContinue reading “Illuminated”

You, in your loving kindness, guide us through the darkness,Continue reading “The Watcher – a poem on Psalm 63”
In the Midst of Our Circumstances
“16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” – 1 Thess 5:16-18 These words from Paul are meant to motivate us as Christians. He wants us to remember that these three things are the will of God inContinue reading “In the Midst of Our Circumstances”
Readjustment
This morning I woke up early and set out to do my next training. I finished it, but barely. During the cool down walk, I could feel my arthritic knee begin to throb, my neck and lower back tighten. I knew instantly . . . this amount of walking/running was my limit. It would haveContinue reading “Readjustment”
