where my heart and His Story collide
Battle I'll dispense with the pleasantries and get right to the point... I have a huge battle in my life. It's something that's existed for as long as I can remember. There are weeks and months where it's severe and intense, demanding a reaction, yet also times in the last few years when I'd believed… Continue reading Battles and Blessings
Do you know Love's way? The heart of truth? The promise of eternity, yet so much more? Before even. On this earth right now, even! See, I walked around a long time before I'd heard. Alone and groping. Never really hoping. Though sometimes laughing and always pretending while searching. Searching, for. the. love! Coming up… Continue reading Love’s Way (One Day)
This post is dedicated - first and foremost - to Jesus, Who is the love of my life. It's also dedicated to another man I loved, who showed me a lot about the way Jesus loves.

As we each look forward to moving into a new year, leaving 2020 and all its *glory* far, far behind, we may feel a need to rush blindly ahead with a quickness: tackling new projects and goals with gusto, rewriting and righting our wrongs, running from our yesterday into a better tomorrow by seizing every… Continue reading Seeing 2020
God cannot be placed merely on the periphery. He wants to be smack dab in the midst of you and me. Neither is God a last resort. He is the first we seek in order to know, to understand, to guide, and to order aright. He stands alone in knowledge and power, unlimited resources and… Continue reading The God We Go To
So today, the big guy and I celebrate 24 years of marriage 👩❤️👨 Yay us! Now, it's true I make a decent deal of my wedding anniversary every year. It's definitely got much to do with the way we started out and how we should’ve never lasted. (But, God!) But it’s also because, as time… Continue reading Anniversaries and The Only Peace
