One of the most pressing issues on my heart as of lately, was the concern for my daughter. This is based on my forthcoming trips to Belize. On these visits to my homeland, I plan to stay on 3-6 months intervals. Although she is a young adult, the idea that I would be gone for … Continue reading Good Growth
I admire bold people, I really do. My daughter is a bold person. She speaks her mind, has no fear, and goes after what she wants. In some instances, these are characteristics I hold. Although in speaking my mind, I’m a bit daintier than she is 🙂 Last Saturday evening, I checked my mobile phones … Continue reading Holy Boldness
I’m always amazed how God shows up in my life. In this brief down-time, my intuition and discernment are profound. More interesting to me, is when I think of someone, I’m contacted immediately, more so than before. When I imagine something spectacular, I see it appear in the writings of clarity, suspicion, direction, and, yes, … Continue reading Validity of Interpretations

Well it’s been a challenging week for me so far. Monday I had to make the decision to put my 15 year old Pomeranian to sleep. She was the sweetest soul I knew, and taught me so much about how to be gentle, kind, loving, and about the importance of quiet space. She was sent … Continue reading Kingdom Profession
Last night I overheard someone I know say to her mom “I am glad for this time.” I was speaking to her on her other line, and she told me to hold, while she spoke briefly with her mother. In a sense, I can relate. I am not happy people are dying, I am not … Continue reading Heart Rising
In the earlier part of this month, of this year, I am supplied with an aging milestone. I’ll be 55! My biggest dilemma now, is whether I’ll be attending church events dedicated to the 55 and older age group 🙂 I am leaning toward “probably not”! This current decision is not based on the idea … Continue reading Oh! The Places…
My admiration for preachers of old is an element of who I am. One component of myself, I am most intrigued with. I often reflect on my innate ability to adhere to the profound messages of comfort they hold. Messages of hope, grace, miracles, and promises of God. Archaic; yet, beautiful messages as common foundations … Continue reading Take Him at His Word
