and Purposeful Prose
I really like the sound of pure joy. How about you? Pure joy sounds amazing actually. While looking through my drafts, the following verse spoke to me. However, I wasn’t feeling that pure joy. Infact, I was feeling quite dry, which is ironic considering all of my water metaphors lately. Yes, dry, burnt out, and [...]
Look at the colours! Fallen leaves can be so lovely. Every season has it's signs that change is coming. The Lesson of the Fig Tree “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near." Matthew 24:32 Jesus: A Sign that [...]
I'm not a big fan of sudden, unexpected power outages. As the case may be they're almost always sudden and unexpected. Life is the same way. Things have a way of changing on a dime. Thankfully our power outage occurred on Monday morning after I'd posted on my blog, caught up with a friend, and [...]
This isn’t what I planned on posting. I'm not feeling happy with what I was going to share, and to be honest the day is attempting to kick me in the teeth. As I started to get tearful, hope and joy began to run the other way. Get back here!!! Stop being cowards!!!! Okay, that [...]
Stay Hopeful. Yes, I am telling myself this too. I have two songs by Ryan Stevenson. I'll let the rest say the rest. Sometimes you have to let someone else do the talking. "The LORD is my strength and my song. He is my savior." Psalm 118:14 The Best is Yet to Come https://youtu.be/3frQkfgejDk "Some [...]
I wrote this poem for one of my best friends a couple of years back. I went looking for it because I felt that I really needed this reminder myself. The funny thing is that Chris and I have reversed roles. He is much happier and content than he was when we met. Wait a [...]
Sometimes I'm so surprised by how the Holy Spirit leads. I'll be focused on one thing… looking for something specific, then He'll draw my eyes in a totally different direction. I love it when this happens. I'm also so glad that He does. I would miss so much. In those moments I'm quite inspired and [...]
It's BEEn a while since any bees have made an appearance on my blog. Bees are important; they help trees to bear fruit. Here are some photos that I've taken over the years of these fuzzy fliers. The bee facts were sourced from Ontariohoney.ca "Bees have five eyes - two compound eyes and three tiny [...]
Waking a bit melancholy isn't abnormal for me, but I've been surprised a few times to wake up and smile at the day. Last Saturday was a bit of a melancholy start, but Jesus gave me something to smile about right away. Next, I spent quite a bit of time with Him meditating on His [...]
Sunday I woke very early at around 4:30. When this happens I try listening to music or I may do some reading or writing, but by the time the alarm goes off I'm feeling so sleepy. So Sunday morning I ended up going back to sleep until about 1:30 when I got up, made myself [...]
