But…I Really Want to Eat It

This morning I got up, stepped on the scale and said, “Why is this happening to me!” I have been very diligent in exercising.  Most days I run/walk 5 miles a day.  My weekly goal is to do at least 25 miles per week. Since I’ve been on this regime I’ve lost a tad over…

True Love

It’s not what you say. It’s not how you say it. True love is what you do. Doing…the truest of love…expressed. ***   “If we love each other, God lives in us, and his love has been brought to full expression through us.  (I John 4:11)

Leaving Our Comfort Zones

Mountains of faith rise from the valleys of failure.   –Mart Dehann Don’t hate your failures, learn from them.

Disappear From Sight

Have you ever had to eat your words? I’m sure I have, but at the moment, nothing comes to mind.  Perhaps, even if I could, I wouldn’t share as “eating your words” is considered quite distasteful. Often, the words we have to eat are bitter. I believe the words we say never disappear.  They linger…

When Things Get Complicated

What do we do when things get complicated? Well…here’s some of the things I find myself doing… First of all I get a sick feeling in the pit of my tummy Second I began rehearsing all the “what ifs” Third my mind grasps the most horrendous “what ifs” and runs wild like a cheetah on…
