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.

My husband and I just saw a commercial about McDonald’s and a conversation ensued about the bad press McDonald’s gets for its unhealthy food. You should know we rarely eat at McDonald’s but every once in awhile I have to have their fish sandwich, fat calories and all. And frankly, their iced coffee beats Starbucks Read more
I made these bird pictures for my recently renovated spare bedroom. I really like how they turned out. Didn’t cost me anything other than the pictures which I think I paid about $3.00 total. Will include more of this bedroom re-do in future. It turned out even better than I thought. I purchased these pictures Read more
I’ve been reading about King Solomon this week.How he asked God for wisdom and how God granted his request. So why did the wisest man in the world have such a fall from grace? If you’re that smart, wouldn’t you think you’d avoid the obvious pitfalls? Wouldn’t you think you’d pay attention to what God Read more
I was feeling all warm and cozy at what had been an unexpected epiphany a couple of days ago when with one phone call I found myself fighting for that freedom. Than I realized something.

Today was garage sales. Thought I’d share some treasures with you. These are four heavy wood placemats I got for $1.00 for all four. They were metallic gold abeit a little scratched so because I always have metallic spray paint sitting around, I gave them a very light coat. They are wonderful. After I took Read more
What is the real freedom of letting others just “be?”? It’s amazingly freeing. The confusion that arises when people confuse us. Did you ever have an epiphany at a most ordinary time on a most ordinary day? When you’re doing the most ordinary thing? (Actually, when I think about it, that’s when all my epiphanies 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.
