Proverbs 16:9

Trust in the Lord! He is with you…every. Step. Of. The. Way. Amen

There are many moments in life where thoughts, memories, rememberances, are measured. Anniversary’s, birthdays, reunions. Sometimes, a song might play and takes a person back to an exact moment in time. Sometimes, it’s a memory or an event that does not fall into a catergory. Time. Today marks two years since I met K. I…… Continue reading Time

Pause

I have spent a lot of time over the past few days, reflecting on 2021. Life happens with a certain degree of uncertainty, during any given year, but i feel this has been more pronounced during the pandemic. The pandemic continues: it continues to be something not completely known or understood: it continues to divide…… Continue reading Pause

Raw

I am writing this post in the midst of intense and raw emotions. And I did not know what to do with it…so I am choosing to write. When did politics become such a damn heated issue in this country that families and friends can not get along because of it? When did people lose…… Continue reading Raw

Closure and forgiveness

Leading up to my vacation, I prayed for God to help me find closure. I did not allow myself time to grieve and heal from my breakup with K. And in that closure comes confusion. Where do I draw the line between remembering the good times and enjoying those memories: and remembering all the reasons…… Continue reading Closure and forgiveness

Memories….

Spending the past couple of days: looking through old family photos as back as far as the late 1800’s; walking the beach where I spent many days as a child at my grandparent’s cottage or our camp; visiting my mom’s gravesite; and going to the lake where I spent a lot of…… Continue reading Memories….

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13

I am embarking on a journey that is putting God first and myself second. I am spending some time alone: to embrace God’s love and be more grounded to hear his message; to take care of my own emotional, spiritual and physical needs; and to heal. This evening on the 5 hr drive up to…… Continue reading You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13

In the moment

Tonight, I am sitting in a park. I am listening to cars drive over the bridge; people laughing; children squealing in delight; teenagers chatting and giggling. I hear birds chirping; the hum of a motor boat; the splash of a kayak paddle. There is the distant sound of a live band performing. What a blessing…… Continue reading In the moment

Prayer for today

Dear Lord: thank you for the gift of another day. Bless us today and keep us safe. Guide us with your grace. May we open our hearts to hear your word and to know that some doors may shut but another will open. When the door opens may we be ready to receive the gift…… Continue reading Prayer for today

55 weeks….

Pandemic. A word I can fully admit I had never thought about until March 2020. Then, like all of us, my world came to a screeching halt. Stay home order. Masks. Virtual work. Virtual school. And the scariest, what exactly was coronavirus? could I keep my children safe? Would I be ok with my underlying…… Continue reading 55 weeks….
