Being Made

I was listening to a podcast this afternoon that really resonated with me. It talked about young women always having a crush and always wanting to be in a relationship. Story of my life. It seems there was always a man either in my life or in my heart. I remember in my mid 20s… Continue reading Being Made

Live As You Are Called

I have been listening to a woman’s testimony online who has been single 57 years and is getting married today. You may know of this woman. Her name is Nancy De Moss. I haven’t really followed her ministry “Revive Our Hearts” too much in the past but given she has lived a full single life… Continue reading Live As You Are Called

I was so encouraged by this meeting I even posted a status on FB.  I was most encouraged b/c our spiritual paths were so similar. We had been tested in… Continue reading Eternal Living

We sat and talked about deep things. Spiritual things. And not so spiritual things. We have come a… Continue reading Learning to Dine

Things I wish I Could Say

I wish I could tell you how much your anger hurts me. It unleashes so quickly and easily, whipping lashes at the nearest person, successfully creating lasting scars, much like slaves received years ago. I received so many lashes myself over the years and didn’t even realize it. They weren’t physical but they were verbal… Continue reading Things I wish I Could Say

A Beautiful Storm

Yesterday I was talking to my friend who is more like a sister. I have so many of those. Sisters. And I don’t deserve them at all. Women who have stood by me over the years, have loved me unconditionally and taught me what true love is. I’m still learning. But we were talking and… Continue reading A Beautiful Storm
