and Purposeful Prose
I want to be a light But I fear I'm too dim I want to be a guide But I'm so lost within. If I were sunshine I could brighten the day I'd spill into a room and take storm clouds away. But I'm just another soul Who's searching for words Out on the waves [...]
I don’t normally post on Thursday's but this was heavy on my heart. Seek I know that you're hurting I feel your pain But one day these tears will be wiped away Then everything will change Nothing will be the same Until then we must pray And encourage one another To seek God's face.* Tina [...]
I have a poem for you! First, let's take a look at what yesterday brought. I woke up at around 4AM and couldn't get back to sleep. Very grey thoughts churned around in my head until the alarm went off at 7AM. By then I was in tears. Early in the afternoon Andrew and I [...]

It's no big deal? She wishes this were true Tell this to her battle When she's lost and she's confused Tell this to her mountains When the rocks keep coming loose Tell this to her heart When it's battered and abused. It's no big deal? She wishes it were so Tell this to her giants [...]
Since Andrew and I will be celebrating 25 years married this month, this seems the perfect time to share some of our "How Andrew Met Tina" story, as well as, the events that lead up to my journey of faith. However, first there's a bit of a planting backstory. Before I met Andrew I was [...]
While we're all trying to learn to navigate a world that has required us to do things differently, many of us are also trying to stay the course of our own personal journeys, shining light where we can. I often feel that I'm not pitching in enough, but I've had to let this go. It [...]
The third time's the charm? Yes, charm sounds about right. When I came across this video I knew it wasn't a coincidence that there was a woodland flower as I'd written in my poem [Woodland Flower.] What are the odds that the words of this song would also start with "I'm waking up"… just as [...]
