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.

    Who opens the door, you or God?

    “God never opens doors that have been closed. He opens other doors, but He reminds us that there are doors we have shut (bold is mine), doors which need never have been shut, imaginations which need never have been sullied. Never be afraid when God brings back the past. Let memory have its way…..God will… Read more

    When bad news overwhelms us; the antidote.

    Intentionally remember God’s faithfulness. I wrote this statement a while back as a prompt for future posts. It was going to be about how God has been faithful to us. It was going to be about how and why it’s important to take the time to purposely and intentionally remember the very specific ways God… Read more

  • Here’s some encouragement if you’re feeling down

    (Tomorrow I’m changing up my posting schedule. This blog is a work-in-progress. No telling what time slot I’ll end up making my permanent home. Bear with me.) Every once in a while I purposely read posts penned by those struggling with depression. My heart really goes out to those who have posted about their struggles.… Read more
