and Purposeful Prose

I know from experience that having no interest in anything can mean that you're depressed. However, I wasn’t sure what I was feeling, only that I couldn't think of anything that really floats my [...]
Image by StockSnap from Pixabay As I press on towards my goals, I find some routes to be so difficult. I'm drawn in all different directions. Yes, I do get distracted, and I struggle to focus on the one thing I need the most. However, even a little push can make such a big difference. [...]
(Photo credit goes to Pixabay.com user Mircealancu.) When I walk with You, Father, I feel like a child I'm still amazed that Your wonders never cease When I walk with You, Lord, I know that I'm yours As you take my small hand my worries are eased When I walk in the Spirit I'm at [...]
[...deeper into the path...] A Pilgrimage takes one on a long journey. Usually to a foreign country. As followers of Christ that country is heaven. However, God also takes us on our own individualized journeys that may lead us to unimaged places here on earth. "Faith motivated Abraham to obey God’s call and leave the [...]
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.

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 [...]
Sometimes faith feels like a battle upon the sea. I can succumb to really negative thinking patterns. These are definitely waves to me. If I don't get into a more positive thinking rhythm I can quickly start to sink like a stone as hope fades. Joy soon follows. Scripture tells us to take our thoughts [...]
