and Purposeful Prose
I appreciate goals. I'm not the type of person to simply hang up my hat. ('Er cap.) I need that thinking cap! Settling down isn't likely going to happen. So I keep setting goals both physically and spiritually. When I feel as if I'm not getting anywhere, life becomes frustrating. I need more patience. If [...]
Spent too much time drowning in thoughts Why don’t I believe? Why am I lost? Silly ol' me, when pounded by waves Why can’t I learn... That Jesus still saves? Tina S.W.

I keep expressing that good things can come out of bad things. Perhaps I haven't expressed this on my blog. I'm uncertain. Nevertheless, it's about time that I proved it. It's no secret that I've really been struggling during this pandemic. I never realized how much impact those family gatherings had on my life. During [...]
Sharing burdens isn't always easy. There are certain people in my life that I'm willing to share things with in detail, while others I may give a short variation of the same story. Some may even find me very closed off. My walls go up immediately. Trust has a lot to do with how much [...]

We also found out that these three brothers would become his brother's-in-law! Yeehaw! Here's where I started getting confused by the way this story was written. One moment I was [...]
I've been troubled by troubles. Not simply my own. Seeing people that I care for struggle has been difficult for me as well. There's a lot of it out there, and for someone who is very empathic (points to self) life has been draining. I messaged my friend Ronda about how I was feeling and [...]
To all my friends who’ve come and gone And those who’ve gone to be with God I’m glad I knew you I'm thankful we met Your love and kindness, I’ll never forget. I miss your hellos And your words of encouragement The things that made you uniquely you And all the thoughtful things you said [...]
Don't keep looking at the darkest skies They'll only swallow you up in lies Don't forget there's a silver lining Behind those greys is something worth finding. Don't keep buying what you cannot feel You may not see it That doesn't make it real Don’t forget that the sun still shines We're not alone But [...]
I really like the sound of pure joy. How about you? Pure joy sounds amazing actually. While looking through my drafts, the following verse spoke to me. However, I wasn’t feeling that pure joy.
