Fearis loud. It echoes in our minds, narrates worst-case scenarios, and tries to convince us that the story is over. It can prevent us from moving forward, binding us in a cocoon of doubt and anxiety. But Scripture reminds us: love gets the last word. God’s love is unshakable, unbreakable, and unending. It is a beacon of hope that pierces through the darkest moments. Anxiety, grief, or uncertainty can’t silence God’s love. It speaks louder.
Love holds firmer, wrapping us in its embrace when we feel most vulnerable. It stays longer, lingering in our hearts and souls, providing comfort in our most trying times. When fear tries to write your ending, God’s love steps in with a better script. He writes about redemption, restoration, and hope. God’s love rewrites our narratives to reflect His grace. Your fear does not define you. You are held by love, a love that transforms and uplifts. And love always finishes what it starts, guiding us toward a future filled with promise and peace.
Real-Life Example:
You’re grieving a loss, and fear whispers, “You’ll never feel whole again.” It tells you healing is impossible. But God’s love holds you through the ache. It reminds you: this isn’t the end. You begin to see flickers of hope, moments of comfort, signs of life returning. Not because fear disappeared overnight, but because love stayed.
As you continue on your journey of healing and finding solace in God’s love, remember that fear may linger in the shadows, but it doesn’t have the power to dictate your future. It is God’s that will guide you towards wholeness. Embrace the flickers of hope and moments of comfort as reminders that love always triumphs over the darkness of fear. With each passing day, you’ll discover that it is love that has the final word, not fear.

Writing a book doesn’t just happen. This is just my thoughts but having worked on my book for a year and a half, I learned a lot. I learned things to do and certainly, things not to do. Don’t think all you have to do is write. The writing is only the beginning. Not even Read more
It’s true. My writing experience can actually help you improve your own life skills. This is a two-part post. The rest will be in two days. I know that because writing a book helped me improve my own coping skills as well. I’m not going to put these in any specific order. Like skill number Read more
If depression is about to consume you, I want to help. I woke up this morning and for some reason felt such a burden to write a quick post of encouragement to you. Why do I sense someone is really struggling today? You are succumbing to the dangerous “D”s, doubt, disillusionment, despair, discouragement, distress, etc. Read more

Holy cow. This is so exciting. Today is the first day, I’ve held my physical book in my hand. Other people have purchased copies but I waited until I got my free books as part of my contract. Everyone told me it looked really good and really professional but it’s been such a long haul, Read more
So, how does this author feel? At peace. Now, first of all, I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel in the first place. Is there a standard response? Do most authors feel the same way. Like elated, over the moon, excited, important…..? I must be an odd duck because I don’t feel any of Read more

Hi. I'm so glad you're here.
My blog focuses on faith and mental health issues such as mood disorders like depression, anxiety, and dysthymia (chronic low moods that don't qualify as depression.) I post DIY and decorating projects when I can.
My book, "Depression Has A Big Voice. Make Yours Bigger! (Expanded Edition), is on sale at all online retailers. I have a Psychology degree and post-graduate courses in Clinical Pastoral Education. I am a former hospital chaplain, Bible teacher, and retreat/conference inspirational speaker.
Thank you for visiting and may you feel God's presence today.
