and Purposeful Prose
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 [...]
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.

Adventure called So I ran straight out the door! My hopes were high But they all soon hit the floor. My eyes were bright Fixed on a view that I'd longed for Then trouble came running And I lost the metaphor It's a mystery What tomorrow will bring It's a tug-of-war that can undo my [...]

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 [...]
