I want to grow wings And rise up again Will I find my way? Do trials ever end? I want to live I want to be free Will I find my passion That I lost at sea? When I fall, will I rise? Will I hear God's song? Will I find my strength When I [...]

The best is yet to come.
“Hope is one of the Theological virtues. This means that a continual looking forward to the eternal world is not (as some modern people think) a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do. It does not mean that we are to leave the present world as it is. If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next.” – C.S. Lewis/Mere Christianity <3
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." --Romans 12:12
"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
--Romans 15:13
Flat Lining
Behind the Poem: I've probably struggled a bit with depression since I was a teen. I'm convinced that I'm one of those people who is sensitive to fluctuating hormones. I'm also prone to Seasonal Affective Disorder, I have Hashimoto's Disease and I'm in Perimenopause. Add a pandemic and isolation into the mix and it's a [...]
Depression is a Battle
Generally I like to learn. However, depression is one of those lessons you wish you could skip. I'm not talking about feeling down or discouraged. I'm talking about loss of interest and apathy, low mood and motivation. It can leave you feeling joyless, grey and sometimes irritable. I once read a post here on WordPress [...]
The Victory!
Today I had a fight with technology. It's a fight I know well. We have a love hate relationship. Printers are so great when they print. When they are uncooperative, however, the hair pulling is inevitable. I was going to get my bloodwork done today. To be fair, I should have printed my lab requisition [...]
Woes and Hope
Winter Woes The dark and dreary days of Winter Oft they leave me cold and blue Waking bereft of warmth and gladness Longing for a different view. Where hath gone my joy and wonder? Where are all my skies of blue? Lord, have mercy The way is murky My soul is weary My song's out [...]
New Beginnings (Hope)
It's a new year. But where do I begin? When I woke Friday morning I was worried about the day ahead. I spent the days before in tears. However, Saturday afternoon there was a bit of a shift: some laughter and smiles surfaced. On Sunday I felt really low again. Then Monday I was worn, but [...]
Not in Service
FYI and to whom it may concern, I will be taking a blogging break. I have no idea how long I will be taking, but your prayers would be appreciated while I'm out of service. Thank you. Well.... not really out of service. More like run into the ground, burnt out and in dire need [...]
He Calms our Fears
Till recently I'd never heard of the product known as Kalms. If you're also out of that loop let me explain what it is. Kalms is a natural remedy tablet that you can take to relieve periods of worry, irritability, stress and strain. The pandemic has created added stress worldwide. Anxiety was just as prevalent [...]
Every Morning
I've been under the waves Straining to swim Fighting the current And reaching to win. Some days I grow weary My vision grows dim But you are my eyes, Lord When there's turmoil within. Your mercies don’t cease They're new at days dawn What will the tide bring When I can't carry on? There's always [...]
Sleepytime Extra
It's time for another "T tastes tea!" I'm on the fence about this Celestial Seasonings tea. Can you tell? Considering the creepy event that occurred while partaking in this calming session with a cup of tea, I've begun to aptly call it Freakytime Extra. I have another suitable name for it as well. More on [...]
