and Purposeful Prose
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. Don't keep buying what you cannot feel You may not see it That doesn't make it real Don’t forget that the sun still shines We're not alone But [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Not to be confused with "Walkie-talkieing." Although... The above photo reveals the shoe of champions. No, really, they're called "Champions." I had such an amazing weekend. However, I didn't realize that it had gone so swimmingly until late Sunday afternoon. I've got some stories for you this week! Saturday morning I woke feeling emotionally flat. [...]
This is a little add on to my "The Sound of Rain" post. Andrew and I watched Louie Anderson's comedy act last night. When Louie got to the bit about rain I told Andrew that I needed to look this one up on Youtube. It's the perfect offset. Accepting Jesus' authority doesn't mean that life [...]
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 [...]
And don't come back another day... If I'm honest I just want to hide I don't know what to say anymore And I don't want to hear anymore Not what God has to say Just what the world keeps murmuring It's too overwhelming I don't know which way to turn To God, of course, but… [...]
