While We Wait… Treadmill Faith

Treadmill Faith takes me through, under, over and around the obstacles that rise to try to silence my voice, my purpose.  How to describe it? These words come to mind:  relentless, persevering, doubtless, confident, unending, bold, purposed, steadfast, solitary, repetitious, challenging.

Treadmill speaks to those times when we are “waiting” for God’s answer

When Love is Not Enough

For many, there comes a time when we realize that our love for another human being may not be enough to meet the need before us.  We strive to do the impossible to overcome the obstacles.  Self-sacrifice comes easily the more intense our love.

Then there are other days when I catch myself procrastinating… knowing full well that I have a task to accomplish and doing everything possible to avoid it.

Journal Thoughts… Healing a Hurting Heart

Feeling lost and without purpose?  Isolated?  Autoimmune issues often separate me from others – or perhaps I allow it.  In the midst of a recent episode I chose to read past journals.  I found healing there.  I pray for those of you who may need that special touch today – that my transparency might bring healing to you as well. Join me as I meander through my thoughts seeking and finding clarity and healing.
