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.

If they weren’t happy, I wasn’t happy. It didn’t matter if they were family or not, although family was always dominant. When a person Read more

When God frees us, are there restraints?
When God frees us, it’s in many ways. Freedom from sin When God frees us it’s because we have come to a place in our life where we realize that we are still in a prison of sorts. For me, that prison was one of people-pleasing and always worried I might hurt someone’s feelings. It Read more
