It’s been said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder…and isn’t it? And isn’t it true that everything really is a choice? A choice to behold the beauty in the moment…to really SEE it. To open our eyes, and shift our pessimistic and prideful perspective, to take on His. Him who created all things… […]
Broken Pieces Made Whole
I’ve been broken. And guilty. And hurting. And alone. I’ve chosen poorly, and walked through the pain of the aftermath. And the road was steep and high and long. And as my heart’s shattered pieces were scattered and torn…parts sharp with regret and sorrow for sin; It was the surrender of those pieces that began […]
Cease Striving and KNOW that He is God
I’m joining Lisa-Jo, over at one of my favorite sites today, to take five minutes and just write without worrying if it’s just right or not. The challenge is to write for 5 minutes flat with no editing, tweaking or self critiquing, with the prompt she gives. And today, her prompt: Still…. Go! […]

Writing IS Talking
If you would have ever told me I would choose to write, voluntarily, I would not have believed you.
