Time To Focus

Writers block is real. I've been suffering from it for months now. Or so I thought. Truth is, I've just not taken the time to sit and write.  I haven't been able to FOCUS. That's all I can attribute it to. I haven't even been able to finish reading a book. It's like a million …

The Harvest IS Plentiful

Sometimes you come across a post that you need to share again.

I don’t know about you, but for me, normally when I can’t stand the place I am visiting, I don’t ever want to go back.

Like ever.

For those who don’t know, my family went on a mission trip to New Orleans this summer. People warned me of the smells, and even the fluids that were commonly found on the sidewalks. They warned me of the darkness that seemed to hang over you like a cloud. They hinted at the free-spirited living. The smells didn’t bother me as much as I thought. And I have a sensitive smeller. No, it was the sights that broke my heart.

From the countless homeless people to the small children roaming the streets, things were different just a few hours away from home sweet home. It didn’t take going thousands of miles away or even crossing oceans to do mission work. I didn’t even…

Making Small Changes

   Love the quote that I found on Pinterest above. "Small changes can make a big difference." It applies to everything. Fitness, Spiritual, Mental, Family, Friends, and life in general. Here are some small changes that I've been making lately in regards to fitness. - Trying to eat "cleaner". Cleaner than I was, and healthier …

ONE DAY DREAMER EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

   Being that I know you and your family, it's an honor and a privilege to interview you as your NEW album is released! I became aware of this dream of yours a few years ago when I was asked to be a part of the music video for "In The End". I was able …

Who Do I Believe 

I wrote a post that I haven't published yet. It's not finished. Maybe it's not even supposed to be published. Maybe it's just for me. It's about grief. I do want to share a little about it. The thing about grief is... You can get so lost in it that you can't see straight. You …

A LETTER TO MY DADDY

Psalm 84:10a (NIV) ~ Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.  It's been one year since I've seen your face, your smile, and felt your hugs. One year since I have heard you say "I love you", or been able to ask you for advice, or just sit with you and …

When You Are Hurting

Because sometimes I need a reminder too.. And so I go back and dig through my blog archives

I wish I could give a simple answer. An AHA!! type of  answer..that could make things make sense to people who are hurting.

I can’t.

I can only point the hurting to the ONE who heals all hurt. In HIS time..in HIS way. The ONE who promises to never leave us. The ONE who gives wisdom and knowledge to all who ask.

I can tell them that I don’t understand. I can be real and honest. I can give all that I can..but nothing more. God is the only ONE who can heal our hurts. Dry our tears. Bring us REAL joy. God is the only ONE who is not capable of letting us down.

I can share how I have found comfort during times of struggle.

Prayer. Studying..reading..digging deep into God’s Word. Asking for fellow sisters and brothers in Christ to pray. 

Romans 15:4 (ESV) ~…
