A new approach. I hope you like it.

Sometimes, new is good. I hope you’ll overlook the fact that I am reposting. I wanted to see what this looked like. Maybe I’ll post something like this every end-of-month, so in case you didn’t read a post, they are all in one place.

So, what do you think?

Besides, trying something new is good, right? And considering it’s the end of the month, it works out well.

Plus, I like being able to see my posts this way as well. It’s been two months of reflection and sorting things out. Mental health, identifying the truly important, and relationships. Some pretty heady subjects. But what else is there to do in these two dark, cold months?

Now, I contend with this Afib diagnosis. I’m having a hard time adjusting to the medications. But I try to see things in perspective. It’s not terminal. It’s treatable. Perspective certainly helps. Besides, I’m an overcomer in Christ.

If faith doesn’t work during times of illness, when will it?

I hope you have a great weekend and blessings to each of you.

  • Why doesn’t God just make us to the right thing

    Boy, I wish sometime God would just MAKE me do that thing I should do but keep putting off. I mean, really. He can move mountains but unless I cooperate He can’t move me. I find that very frustrating. And yet, if I didn’t have the freedom to choose, ny love for God would be… Read more

  • The snow is falling and I am forgiven

    Here in Michigan we are experiencing our first real snowfall. A little early even for us. But I love the first snowfall of the season as it so reminds me of Isaiah 1:18, “my sins once scarlet, are washed white as now.” At this stage of my Christian walk, my “sins” are far more subtle.… Read more

  • The snow is falling and I am forgiven

    Yep. Snow falling and forgiveness go hand in hand for me. I’m always reminded of “your sins shall be washed white as snow”. (Isaiah 1:18). And while my sin is more of the subtle kind these days, (indulgences like overeating, binge TV watching, a critical attitude at times, selfishness, etc.), it’s still called sin. So… Read more

  • I want to be sure you understand, I get it.

    I want to be sure that when I write about depression (and will also be including this in my book), that you understand that I know we are all living different lives. I was just at my daughter’s for Halloween. Her and her husband work full-time. They have two young boys, one is ten, the… Read more

  • What a day! Way too much “medical” going on.

    What a day! Way too much “medical” going on.

    For about six months, I’ve dealt with what I thought was IBS. But these months have been far more frequent to the point that I’ve been disabled for a couple of days each week. My husband and I are wanting to plan some trips but we can’t because we never know when I might have… Read more

  • Prayer is the first step to good decision-making.

    Prayer is the first step to good decision-making.

    “Conversing with the Father is colored by the needs of the day. Let your prayer for the day be something specific, arising either out of the Word which you have read, or out of the real soul needs which you long to be satisfied. Let our prayer be definite that you can say as you… Read more
