I wait. With eagerness and expectation, I wait for the Lord. I trust in His enduring Word – In it alone I put my hope. My soul waits. My whole being waits. His help is coming. I wait. I watch. He will rescue me.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: The Welcome Sign
THROWBACK THURSDAY: On the Other Side of Easter (Written 2020)
Growing up we had two paintings in my house I can distinctly remember always being there. One was a painting of The Last Supper with Jesus standing up at the table, arms stretched out as if welcoming each disciple, even his betrayer, into them. The other was of an old man, hands folded in prayer,Continue reading “THROWBACK THURSDAY: On the Other Side of Easter (Written 2020)”
THROWBACK THURSDAY: The Last Supper (& how it pertains to me)
I wrote this in 2010 following knee injury.
A Poetic Reflection on Psalm 5:3

The pandemic brought with it not only fear for the health of myself and those I knowContinue reading “One Lesson Learned in 2020”

In fact, due to not sleeping well in the past week from the surgery, I have had quite a few. (I could use another week just to sit and process everything He has shown me.) If I amContinue reading “GOD IS PERSISTENT”
Another Battle to Fight
The words on the other end of the phone call were not what I expected to hear. Everything had led me to believe that it wasn’t anything to worry about. Yet, there I stood, cell phone in hand, learning another lesson in the agony of unmet expectations. I was caught off guard and I feltContinue reading “Another Battle to Fight”
