and Purposeful Prose
[Do all that I have commanded...] It's time to lift our gaze. May we learn to soar on wings like Eagles, resilient in life's storms, propelled forward by the Lords hand. Let the "flying lessons" continue. As a child I loved “dot to dots.” Connecting the dots revealed the entire picture! As an adult I [...]
We all need a Savior In the flesh hearts grow weak But God is our strength He's the anchor that we preach. We've all grasped for hope And grown faint on our knees Our heart becomes downcast When life becomes bleak Holding on by a thread We're held in His arms Fed in the desert [...]
It's time for another round of T Tastes Tea. My infinTEA war continues. Why? It's much ado about nothing that makes life worth living? Boasting. Today's challenger has some pretty bold claims. No matter which way you stand my former champion, clearly Clipper captivates it's audience by towering above the competition. It's a big boy. [...]
Life is filled with hills and valleys It's sometimes up, but then it's down Smiles are mixed with tears and troubles But my Jesus' wears the crown. He's working on my reborn heart Through the hardships I endure With a gentle voice He softly speaks Through the noise of a fallen world. My human nature [...]

My first thought was this: I don't surrender well. This isn’t entirely true. (I'm hard on myself.) I've been struggling, but I struggle just about as much as any other person does. I'm still moving forward. I've accepted Jesus and I appreciate surrender---that is, that Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth, and [...]
My mind is tired The path is worn I've been pushing up this hill forlorn The weight of another day ahead The road long traveled Is wearing my tread. But I still have breath And I'm still alive The way isn't clear But I still can rise I can’t see the answers But I'm still [...]
Hello, I've missed you. I've missed all of you. Life does take some twists, turns and detours doesn’t it? Yes, it does. However, I've truly been missing writing, reading and fellowship. Therefore, I'm aiming to start blogging again once a week. Wednesday sounds like a plan! Consider this my return to blogging. On the 23rd [...]
If you're still following me, thank you. It's nice to have some friends and family come along for the ride. I'm not quite back to blogging, yet, but I wanted to pop in and share a bit of the journey with you. While I've been away I've been working towards acquiring my learners license. I [...]
Another day without rest Fighting with feelings Feeling trapped and deflated But knowing God's timing is best. Another day she is blessed Drawn by a notion She's caught in emotions But knowing she'll fly from her nest. Given time and great patience Steadfastness and raisins (What? They couldn't hurt) For God is both gracious and [...]
