and Purposeful Prose
No pain no gain. True? What do you think of the new shoes? Bold or just really loud? I prefer to call this colour flaming magenta. It's time to light a hot pink fire under my feet. 💓 Whether we want to advance physically or spiritually, we have to gradually build up endurance. When you [...]
Hold me I need Your comfort and Your peace Assure me That there's more than I can see Remind me Nothing is ever beyond Your reach Show me Lord, help me to believe And when the waters rise I know You're in those tides I can trust that You still care And that You have [...]
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.C. S. Lewis I'm a huge C.S. Lewis fan. He had such a gift for putting brilliantly truthfilled insights into words. C.S. Lewis was a man who understood great grief. Ater the loss of his [...]
She trusted and lived by faith Setting out one blue-sky day Mesmerized by tide pools Such wonders she saw and gleefully proclaimed.

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.
