Steeping We're in hot water Hold on a little longer God’s patiently waiting for us to get stronger. Tina S.W. April 4, 2020 Another Cup When my cup is empty, Lord, fill me up You are my portion The one I love For in Your presence there is fullness of joy When my cup runneth [...]
And don't come back another day... If I'm honest I just want to hide I don't know what to say anymore And I don't want to hear anymore Not what God has to say Just what the world keeps murmuring It's too overwhelming I don't know which way to turn To God, of course, but… [...]
Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Imagine what it must have been like to be a part of this monumental historic event from crucifixion to resurrection. First there was an angry mob who demanded Jesus' crucifixion; then grief for many as Jesus hung upon the cross—His body pierced and bleeding. After Jesus' death [...]

Yesterday was a really bad day for me. My mood was so low as depression washed over me again. I'm still not quite back to myself. When I'm depressed my empathy can really kick into overdrive, so I was grieving for those who are worrying. I can tell when someone is losing hope. It's very [...]

Having Hashimoto's Disease means that my body doesn't cooperate as I would prefer it to. It's been this way for over a decade now. Tuesday night I woke up only a few hours after I went to bed. When I haven't slept well I can't function. I can push myself, but it tends to create [...]
