Moving Forward in Hope
Those moments where you just perfectly align everything amaze me beyond belief. I can’t even begin to comprehend how you line everything up so perfectly. You knew that I was struggling. Yesterday, I had an opportunity to talk with my therapist. It was difficult, but definitely needed. I knew what my plan was going forward and I knew it would be challenging. Last night, I took a couple of steps. I reached out to my small group and told them that I had been struggling. Not even two minutes later, I see that there was a rainbow. Eventually, it turned into a double rainbow. That rainbow lasted 20 minutes! Who…

Back Soon
When I first started this blog I had so many ideas and was ready to take on the world. I’m going to admit, blogging is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. Right now, I am at a place where I need to take a break for personal reasons. I hope everyone who reads this understands that I will be back once the symptoms I have been experiencing diminish. I will be taking a break from posting and spending a lot of time online for awhile, since I have been experiencing some symptoms related to computer usage. I encourage each of you to take some time…

You
I can’t wait to share with you what is coming. Next week, I will be making a special post towards the end of the week. I am so excited to share it with you. In honor of my anniversary of giving my life to Him, I will reflect on a bit of my journey to this point today. He is so great. Here is a bit of inspiration into what prompted me to start this blog. In the quietness of my heart you were there even before I knew you I feel you through the warmth of the sun and the coolness of night I hear you through…

10 Minutes
10 minutes. The clock shows that the time is 2:50pm. 10 minutes. 10 minutes to prepare myself for the phone interview. It doesn’t feel like a lot of time, but as I sit there waiting and reflecting I can’t sit still. I move about the house looking to fill the time, even though I know I should be just reflecting on the job I applied for and the phone interview which will start in 10 minutes. I have been feeling so lost and a complete mess. So I took some time to focus on you during this 10 minutes. I close my eyes and begin to pray. I ask you…

Finishing Strong
I lace up my tennis shoes and head out the door to my first running training course with my good friend Mary. Mary and I had decided that we both wanted to run to help us get more fit, but neither one of us were runners. I had wanted to run a 5k for a while, but lacked the motivation to get off of the couch. I knew that the course would help me to train and keep me accountable toward working to my goal of running a 5k. The training program began pretty simple. Walk for 9 minutes and run for 1 minute, repeating this two more times for…

Baptism: Freed From My Fears
My hands are shaking. My heart is beating faster. My thoughts are racing a million miles a minute. I search for you, but I can’t find you in this place of darkness and utter confusion. Where are you Lord! I need you now, in this place, in this moment. How at this moment of my greatest need is it that I can’t find you. Do you even care that I am drowning? Does my problem even matter enough for you to reach out your hand to grab mine to say that it will be okay? What more do you need from me to just tell me that you care? I…
