A friend reminded me tonight that And as much as I agree; I often wonder do we need to re-think what we “feel” we deserve? I silently watch others I know and love become involved with someone or something (job, goal, project) etc that consumes their soul. And not in a good way; in such … More But should we re-think our thoughts?

But sometimes hiding from social media has its perks.
Some people just don’t understand how true that statement is. He comes in only needing a toe to complete his “foothold” and then we are gone. He does two things; he runs and ruins your life.

“When you hit rock bottom; may you know that Rock is Jesus” ~unknown “Sometimes when we hit bottom we feel as if we don’t know how to pray anymore, all we have to say is ‘Lord, I don’t know what’s going on right now; but I know I’m not right’. It’s that easy.” ~Pastor Steve … More Hope.
That my daughters may need my guidance and I won’t be here. It’s not a scary thought, it’s a deep heartbreaking one for me.

.The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. ‘Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, ‘There’s Jennifer, she’s a lawyer,’ or ‘That’s Michael, He’s a doctor.’ A small … More From the mouth of babes

As I stumble (and I use that word loosely seeing as it’s the truth) through my walk of Christianity, I’ve come to realize we all receive crutches to help us along the way. Some people were given scaffoldings, others were given those handy-dandy window-washing pole-fed machines, and some were even given a staircase. Not me. … More The Rope Ladder.
