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.

Christmas changed everything. How could it not? Covid is raising its ugly head once again. We’re all more uneasy today than we were yesterday. So I thought I’d just share some pictures with you of some decorating I’ve done. This year I had to be especially creative. My daughter has a Golden Doodle puppy. Need Read more
A real-life Christmas miracle happened to me. Well, to me and my husband. It began during the Christmas season when we were a young couple with a couple of kids and just starting our lives together. For those of you who are struggling this year But first, I want to say that I am well Read more
I made some cute bags from Christmas flannel you might want to copy. I made these a couple of years ago and I think they were some of my favorite gifts I’ve made. (My SEO prompts are telling me this post is too short so I’ll had some more.) To me Christmas is all about Read more
You’re going to think I’m nuts. I’ve been telling about my first novel. I’ve promised you would receive a free copy. But God had other plans. I’ve been slavishly working every day finishing it up. The first time I submitted it, Amazon politely informed me there were spelling errors. How was that possible? I used Read more
I’m having great difficulty with WP today. I had a great post almost done when the site went down. Hopefully, you will get it tomorrow. I wanted you to know all is well here although I’ve been very lax in posting. There are reasons. So I am reposting this from last year. The Christmas decorating Read more
The night it happened, I pulled on those heavy doors and walked hesitantly into the church. Hearing women’s voices from an open door down the hall, I walked to the doorway and stood at an angle so I could see inside, making sure no one could see me. I was counting on the typical classroom 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.
