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.

Word choices really matter and especially so in families. Yesterday I wrote about word choices with families. I wrote about how a family unit within my immediate family circle is really going through a tough time. These are good and kind people. They are well-mannered, very giving, and kind to others. I’ve seen it time Read more
How to prevent families from falling apart shouldn’t even be a thing. It’s seldom the things that are done, although that certainly happens. More likely than not, it’s words. But harsh words aren’t easily forgotten. So, the obvious takeaway is never to say anything you will regret. All families have cracks. Consider this quote from Read more
Free from depression Depression is awful. Right? I’ve been depression-free for about 20 years now after many years of struggling with this mind-zapping, soul-sucking, dream-killing illness. I certainly didn’t see it as a gift at the time. I am still in Florida. Sunshine is so good for the soul. Living in Michigan presents some challenges. Read more
Distraction for anxiety Distraction to combat anxiety is a great coping tool. However, I don’t mean ignoring our thoughts. I mean using physical movement as a distraction. Today I thought I would show you the same pieces from yesterday but with different vignettes. This is the hutch decorated for Christmas a few years ago. It Read more
Don’t think like a decorator. A unique way to arrange things means not thinking like a decorator. Now, I am not a professional decorator, but I’m always asked for my opinions, so I assume that’s because people like what I’ve done in my own home. I have a unique approach, and it’s because I also 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.
