and Purposeful Prose
Life is full of choices. There are many paths we can choose. If we base our choices on mere feelings and desires, our hearts can lead us astray. For the heart is deceitful above all else. This is why Scripture tells us to guard our hearts, and to take our thoughts captive. For everything we [...]
Unexcited Tired and I don't want to move It's just morning It's just the thought of the push The downward pressure of gravity The slow and steady trickle Of the incessant melting and freezing of snow. Is it time for Spring yet? Is it time for things to be reborn? Is it time to feel [...]
This isn't an ordinary F(L)ight songs. However, how God met me--when I needed Him to meet me--wasn't ordinary either. Sometimes Jesus chooses to meet us halfway. It's wonderful that He plans ahead of time exactly what we'll need. I can forget, too easily, that He goes before us and He lovingly hems us in. "Lord, [...]
If you know anything about me then you know that I love metaphors. I often think and learn in metaphor. I have a little story for you from many many moons ago. I was having a serious struggle with fatigue. Hence, I was napping on our sofa this day. When I woke, one of our [...]
Too tired to reach Too worn to seek Dragging my stumbling feet Waiting for my reprieve Anchored and out of reach Longing to rise and speak I try but my voice is weak Afloat but I'm moored to the beach When will joy be the song of my heart? Lord, I'm worn I don't know [...]
[Do all that I have commanded...] It's time to lift our gaze. May we learn to soar on wings like Eagles, resilient in life's storms, propelled forward by the Lords hand. Let the "flying lessons" continue. As a child I loved “dot to dots.” Connecting the dots revealed the entire picture! As an adult I [...]
[...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 mind is tired The path is worn I've been pushing up this hill forlorn The weight of another day ahead The road long traveled Is wearing my tread. But I still have breath And I'm still alive The way isn't clear But I still can rise I can’t see the answers But I'm still [...]
If you're still following me, thank you. It's nice to have some friends and family come along for the ride. I'm not quite back to blogging, yet, but I wanted to pop in and share a bit of the journey with you. While I've been away I've been working towards acquiring my learners license. I [...]
Sometimes we forget (or perhaps you don't even know), that God wants to show us that He is strong and able. He wants to be known by the world for who He is and what He can do. Don't we all desire to be known? To really be seen and understood? How much more do [...]
