I’ve Become So Numb
I know what it is like to live in pain. For 34 years I lived with so much hurt and pain and misery that I went numb. I lived what looked like a normal life-I excelled at school, had jobs, got married, had babies, did all the things successful people do-yet I walked around DEAD […]

Don’t Abort The Process
Chrysalis to Completion. Butterfly caterpillars create something called a “Chrysalis” – a hardened exoskeleton that protects it whilst it changes. It’s cellular structure has already prepared it for the changes to come, and once the process has ended successfully? You have a butterfly! But if you cut the chrysalis open before the transformation is complete? […]

I been in the storm too long
I’ve been in the storm too long. And you know when storms last and last, we start looking for answers and reasons like Job. Job, whose storms lasted in such a devastating way, looked up to God for answers that were simply not forthcoming; then while he was waiting on God to say something he […]

Drop Down N Getcho Eagle On
Most people know that eagles use wind resistance to lift off. What I didn’t know and found excessively amazing is that eagles chill in turbulence, too. You know what they do?

Which then (of course) leads me to the record keeping that I am not supposed to do. Another post for another […]

A Love Supreme #2
Love is kind-no, really! KIND! I am not the nicest of people (at least from my own perspective when I do the false comparison of me to other people). I do not give off a sweet vibe at all. Most students think I am the meanest teacher in America until they get to know me; […]

Behold, I do a new thing!
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8) So. I am reading a bible plan on my bible app that focuses on Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish New Year. The reason I started reading it was because it is titled “A Call to Repentance”. duh I am enjoying learning from it because […]

A season of submission
There many things that we must be delivered from, but they all come from the same place: our flesh, our greed, and our pride. 1 John 2:15-16 says it like this: “Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of […]

A Love Supreme #1
Love never demands it’s own way I am selfish. Not too different from you reading right now, I’d bet. I happen to want what I want how I want it with whom I asked to have it with. Don’t ask me why; you worry about the how. Kthanxbai. Yet here I am. Pushing passed the […]
