Romans 8:38–39 — “Nothing… will be able to separate us from the love of God.”
Opening Reflection: Love Shouts
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.

Here’s how I made it. First of all, I had the wood in the garage. My husband has been telling me to use it up so I came up with these signs. I didn’t cut the wood or anything. I used it at the length it was and just made it all work. I just Read more
In case you’re wondering about that mini-post that appeared yesterday , I was trying to copy and paste a portion of scripture from my phone to WordPress as a draft. Instead, it published. Apparently, there is no way to do this. I knew it might end up publishing but it was a great verse anyway. Read more
What was your weekend like? Did you do anything fun? How about creative? Or did you just relax? All three are fine, of course. I hit some garage sales, of course.

Here’s one area of my home I’ve started decorating for fall. I decided to change things up this year and spread the love around, so I tried piling up all the pumpkins in this concrete container. But I just didn’t like it. Nothing stood out. What was the point of that? I couldn’t Read more
My rose bushes have dwindled greatly over the years. Some due to neglect. Some due to the deer. Some due to increased shade. But I have one rose, a tea rose, that has defied the odds. I planted it years ago and it never did anything. Then about three years ago it started to bloom. Read more
