“Fearfully and wonderfully made”…I’m still trying to comprehend that. What does that mean? I am not a scholar or theologian so I can’t give you a definition or an explanation. I just know, that even though I was at the bottom of a mountain when I read this verse, it was a mountain top experience.Continue reading “Letting It Soak In”

Wonderfully Made
How can anyone like me? I’m not worthy…I’m “not enough”. For years I lived my life with routines and schedules, hoping to stay out of everyone’s way so that I wouldn’t offend anyone. I sheltered myself from getting close to people for fear that they wouldn’t like me, or I would disappoint them if IContinue reading “Wonderfully Made”

Constant Friend
When you look at the friendships you currently have, are any of them since childhood? Or perhaps high school? Is it rare to have those long lasting friendships?

Who Am I – Loved
Do you remember being in Grade 1? It has been quite a few years since I was in grade 1. Unfortunately, I don’t have very fond memories of that year of my school life.

What doContinue reading “This Day”
Mornings
UGH! Is it morning already? Do I have to get up (after hitting the snooze button a bazillion times)? Do I have to go to work today? Do I have to get everyone else up and make breakfast? Do I have to adult today? I’m so comfy and cozy in bed. I don’t want toContinue reading “Mornings”
Thankful
After the darkness of night, far off on the horizon is a sliver of light. I enjoy watching the skies awaken. How the rays of the sun paint the horizon with different shades of yellow, orange, pink and red. It is such a masterpiece of art. I am amazed every time. Watching the sunrise neverContinue reading “Thankful”

Another funeral. A widow, who is usually so bubbly with a wonderful smile is now grieving. When I reflect on the people who have passed away this year and those left behind, my heart grieves. Where is the joy when there is so much sorrow? I recently watch an interview on YouTube of a celebrityContinue reading “Choose Joy”
