and Purposeful Prose
Last Winter I really started struggling with music, particularly finding what spoke to me where I was. I felt terrible that songs that once lifted me up only made me feel worse. I'm still sifting through music looking for those songs that hit the right note. Perhaps you can relate. It's easy to listen to [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Stay Hopeful. Yes, I am telling myself this too. I have two songs by Ryan Stevenson. I'll let the rest say the rest. Sometimes you have to let someone else do the talking. "The LORD is my strength and my song. He is my savior." Psalm 118:14 The Best is Yet to Come https://youtu.be/3frQkfgejDk "Some [...]
I can't believe that September is here again. This month marks another year of blogging. I may do some looking back as I've traditionally done for the last few years. It gives me a chance to see what God has done. It's so good to focus on the positives, right? We can also go over [...]
I'm always thrilled to discover new artists, even if they're only new to me. Andrew appreciates it too. Since my discovery of Simon Khoroliskiy he's played Simon's tunes over and over.
