When words cut deep, anger rises to the surface as the first line of defense. Some of us are able to tame it more quickly than others, while some struggle to get it under control. One thing we all have in common… We all hurt when words are used as weapons. Especially when the oneContinue reading “cut”

strong in the broken
Perhaps strength doesn’t reside in never having been broken, but in the courage to grow strong in the broken places. @BlessedTeens tweet, July 6th, 2014 If you have been broken, you can become strong again. Broken does not mean ready for the discard pile, as the world views broken things, people, dreams. Broken in theContinue reading “strong in the broken”
ankle deep
A few times in the past few months, I have heard the call to go deeper. Beyond the wading area I tend to linger in…where I am ankle deep but I can still make it out quickly back to shore should I feel threatened. I am deep enough to feel the longing to go inContinue reading “ankle deep”
cry of the broken
Can you hear it? The cry of the broken. It comes in two variations. The wail of those who cannot take any more, many who have reached the end of their strength and do not know where to turn. The hurting hearts. The lonely. The ones who didn’t quite earn enough to cover all theirContinue reading “cry of the broken”
free to choose
Freedom has been calling out since losing Eden. With the beginning of work came the lie of self sufficiency. We can do out all on our own. And when we fall, over and over, freedom stands nearby, waiting for our word to step in and help us out from the pit we created. We haveContinue reading “free to choose”

downpour
Oh my. There was a huge battle waging within me as we began to rehearse for last night’s Downpour service. Singing with new people, in a new situation, and new songs aside, inside I was on edge. I knew something was going to happen. Didn’t know God was preparing to rock my boat. As aContinue reading “downpour”
Spirit bridge
I just finished a non-stop meal of James L. Rubart’s trilogy finale, ‘Spirit Bridge’. My faith grew within me. My soul left for joy. My mind shouted ‘Amazing, God.’ And a little voice whispered, ‘You know this isn’t for you, right?’ As the book clearly stated, the enemy likes to lie to us surrounding ourContinue reading “Spirit bridge”
come out of hiding
You were strong enough to survive the real trauma. You’re strong enough to let God bring you through the healing too. #TheMercifulScar Many of us wear our trauma like a wrap. Tightly wound, seemingly to protect us from more hurt, wound, pain. The wrapping instead begins to strangle our emotions, keeping the wounds from healing,Continue reading “come out of hiding”
love is enough
The last few nights left me grasping for my sanity. My health took a turn for the worse, which caused me to need to be up between every half hour to every hour and a half at the most around the clock. I don’t do too well with two things. Lack of sleep two nightsContinue reading “love is enough”
