It’s been a minute since I dropped anything here. I’ve been busy – not in the ways people normally say that. I’ve been busy emerging, which is my “one word”…

The Mirror Holds

There are moments in life when the soul may shatter like glass—fractured by pain, yet somehow still hold together. I’m not a doctor, so my words aren’t clinical; they’re simply…

    In the Morning

    / April 30, 2023 / No Comments

    In the stillness, there is hope – And whispers of the truth. The burdens and anxiety Undone because of You. Uncertainties and fears, They simply slip away, Replaced by greater Good As night rolls into day. Light within and light without, Open heart and hands… Keeping all the dreams intact Where love can now expand. Nothing lost, all is gained,…

    Abide – The Divine Offer

    / April 23, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Funny how you can read a passage dozens of times, and all of the sudden something pops out and rocks your world. Such was the case over the past few days mulling over this one. “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless…

  • 33When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply movede in his spirit and greatly troubled. 34And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35Jesus wept.

    Role Model

    There is an old song, “There’s a river of life flowing out of me…” What if that were really true –  consistently, in abundance, without regard to personal cost? Can you imagine the impact this would have on our world? On our friends? On our familes? On our workplace? Let’s reel it back for a moment and look at a…

    Thoughts From My Journal

    / April 9, 2023 / 2 Comments

    It is still early. It is Easter. Christ is alive and on His throne. He will never be moved or shaken. Every knee will bow! Glory to His name forever. With the angels, I say, “Hallelujah!” I love You, Jesus. Your saving grace is stunning – overwhelming. May I be a reflection of Your shining light. Today, as I reflect…

    Uncharted Territory

    / February 12, 2023 / 2 Comments

    I used to have a recurring dream about a house I lived in. Strangely, there were passages and whole floors in the house that were uncharted – and noone knew they were there. There was, for instance, a secret stairwell that opened into an immense ballroom! The ceiling was domed, and painted like the Sistine Chapel. If that wasn’t unexpected…

    Yours

    / January 29, 2023 / 2 Comments

    The miracle of You is that You loved me first. No conditions. No performance reviews, Just Your love crafting a “do over” in me. Looking back through the years, I see Your faithfulness, Your gentle hand. And sometimes a swift, hard shake to wake me up. “So, Rosey, do you want to be Lot’s wife?” That moment, I will never…
