Watch YourSelf(ie)

I recently purchased a new piece of jewelry. It’s so cool! It wraps around my wrist, looks pretty cute and does the most amazing thing: it tells me what time it is. And that’s all it tells me. It doesn’t tell me when someone calls, that someone needs to see a house, what the weatherContinue reading “Watch YourSelf(ie)”

“That’s all I have to say about that.”

I have been wearing a pretty deep rut in my mind for the past couple weeks. It came to a head this week and I found myself unable to relax at all. My spirit was wound up and fearful, causing me to feel frozen. Paralyzed. Have you ever felt immobilized over your lack of controlContinue reading ““That’s all I have to say about that.””

Fragmented

I may have mentioned this a few hundred times in previous blogs, but occasionally I get sidetracked and start writing for the wrong reasons.

Disintegration

Life has been pretty chaotic for me the past few months. Some of the chaos was bad—like my son getting hit by a car and all that goes with that. Some of the chaos has been good—like Blake’s mom being here for a week and my mom here for a week shortly after that. ForContinue reading “Disintegration”

Take away my difficulties

“…Take away my difficulties, that VICTORY over them may bear witness to those I help of Your POWER, Your LOVE, and Your WAY OF LIFE.” This is part of a prayer I pray every morning. If you notice, it does not suggest that God not allow difficulties. Just by asking Him to “take them away”,Continue reading “Take away my difficulties”

November 2, 2022 When I woke up this morning, the day I was to fly home from a week of vacation in Las Vegas with family, my first thought was that I was ready. Ready to get back to a regular schedule and regular life. My second thought was a reminder to myself, having experiencedContinue reading “Berkeley”
