NEVER CONFUSE ABUSE WITH LOVE

https://photos.app.goo.gl/iyf7EboiThTJszsx7 He loves me – He loves me not… The question I was asked many times after I escaped an abusive relationship that went on far too long was, “Why did you stay so long?” Well, the answer to that for so many, including me, was, “It’s complicated.” Sometimes, victims are forced to stay because…

DENIAL – WORST ENEMY OF MY SOUL!

This crazy world and time passing in rapid fire, like the bullets of mass tragedies surrounding us daily, can really do a job on our minds. Without even knowing, I crawled into a hole in fetal position, hoping all this madness would just disappear. But it wouldn’t, and may not ever in my lifetime. I…

REIGN DOWN MOST POWERFUL CREATOR

The gentle, whispy, floating sounds of season’s splendor. Remind me of the reigning power of God.Quiet, magnificent, all powerful, still. How soothing to my soul – watching, listening;Accompanied by the chirping choir perched in all their regal splendor. Nestled amongst the statuesque limbs from which these gorgeous gems drift down colorfully, magically. Warm paint splatters…

                   OLD IS AS OLD LIVES

As toddlers learning to stand, then walk,

It was exciting and so cute for all to see.

But as we struggle through our senior years

It seems as if we’re back in toddlerville,

Struggling to stand, unsteady, fearing a fall, bearly able to see.

Grabbing hold of anything to get from here to there.

But it’s not exciting and certainly not cute.

This place of unknown arrival, our unsteady march to this inevitable end;

This does not have to be a Trail of Tears.

We can walk it with  Style and Grace or with a fancy cane or other steady hand.

Keep up with times, expand your minds OR just wallow in a sea of dispair.

But as was said in Habakkuk 2:

Thus he walks and works, as well as lives by faith, perseveres to the end.”

My end times may be unsteady, I may even stumble and fall.

But that’s just a part of the cycle of life;

Not just for a few, but for us all.
