TAKE Courage
Daily, I TAKE a good number of vitamins and supplements. I also TAKE myself to the Fitness area to stretch and make use of the equipment there. That’s for this “young body”, but what do I TAKE for my mental and soul well-being? This blog was spurred on when I responded to a friend’s private…
Dare to be Bold
I’m not talking about “stupid” boldness where we take dangerous risks, but being bold for God, ourselves, and others. Yep! That’s me! I own it! Unlike the shy, timid, and insecure child that I was, hiding behind my mama, over time and with the help of my pushy husband, I came out of my cocoon.…
Stand Firm and Persevere
That almost sounds like a contradiction, doesn’t it. How can you persevere while you’re standing firm? Persevere sounds like an “action” verb, while “stand firm” sounds like inaction. This photo captured my attention. This guy looks like he’s trying to hold it together by standing firm because one move could send him plummeting to who…
Every Setback is a Setup for a Comeback
I suspect that all of us can come up with projects and plans and even places we were traveling to over the last several months – but it fell through because of the pandemic. We were disappointed about lost time with family for special occasions, a job promotion we might have missed, and no need…
Even in Messy, Whiny Days – God is Right Here
I’m here at my office desk typing this blog. My morning ritual is in progress. Wake up (thank God, I woke up), head to my office, look over my blog written yesterday with a fresh perspective, make necessary changes and publish on Facebook, Instagram, and my two blog sites. I look at my desk cluttered…
What is Your Sweet Spot?
“I would appreciate any positive prayers or scripture verses you could send my way.” Those were the words that I saw on a friend’s Facebook post yesterday. This sweet gal has had some very rough times, so I was quick to give her a couple of my favorite scriptures and a prayer, but when I…
Stuck in the MIDDLE?
The MIDDLE: the center, an equal distance from the extremities of something; halfway, a position at an equal distance from the sides, edges or ends. The middle child. The one in the middle of a circle. The piano’s middle “C”. The middle of the night. I know what being stuck in the MIDDLE is all…
Persevere AND Stand Firm
PPERSEVERE is defined as: carry on, keep going, be persistent, follow through, keep at it, but it also means to stand one’s ground, STAND FIRM, stay the course, unmovable, and hold on. Persevere AND stand firm — almost sound like contradictions to each other. Keep going, but unmovable? In this photo is a little desk…
There is no Journey Like the Journey of Faith
This day, 7 years ago, I wrote my first-ever blog. It was the beginning of the faith journey of our lives and I knew God wanted me to live our journey out-loud to document the abiding and constant love that we knew that the Father would pour out on us. We wanted our light to…
Dare to be Bold
Yesterday, my post was about the willingness to get out of our comfort zone. In other words…dare to be BOLD! When my sweetheart passed away, I had to become a take-charge, confident, fearless and BOLD gal. I played the “widow” card for a while and it worked in negotiations for my new home, getting some…
