and Purposeful Prose
As I came in from my walk today I said to Andrew, "I feel as if I'm about to turn over a new leaf. But I have to be careful to turn it over slowly." He says to me, "Uh huh, or else you'll fall off your lilly pad." That's about right. Then he added, [...]
Jesus did it again. I'm crying. No, this is a good thing. I had written a piece on praise. I was going to post it today. Change of plans. Without giving too much of that post away, I was looking through my notes on the Psalms in one of my journals when I came across [...]
It's okay not to feel okay. These words are just as much for me as they are for anyone else who is struggling right now. There are a lot of really strong people doing a lot of great and brave things right now, and to be honest it makes me feel so inadequate. I was [...]

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 [...]
I'll explain the photo for this post at the end. No, this isn't a ploy to get you to read my post. The choice is always yours. One Day (at a time) It's okay to feel It's okay that moods turn grey One day all of our sorrows will be forever wiped away. Tina S.W. [...]
Hope Rises... I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope. <3Psalm 130:5 (NIV) Need to Breathe Need to Breathe has some great stuff.
