Where it all began… Before I go there let’s talk about today.

Someone who meets you at your place of need?
Someone who accepts you “as is” in the middle of your life struggles?

Jesus finds us even when we are trying to hide.
God speaks to us in so many ways and often through unusual sources. Those who are highly religious might not understand what I refer to as God ah-ha moments. But those who have a relationship – an intimate friendship with Jesus – well, we get that He wastes nothing.

Do you have a favorite pair of shoes? You’ve worn them so often that they’ve lost that perfect fit. Perhaps the lining has loosened and rubs against your skin causing irritation and maybe even pain.

For as long as I can remember my dream was to become a writer. What does that look like? Why a writer? To be honest, I never thought beyond those words. I just knew that I had to write. It was in the doing that purpose would show up. I guess if I looked behind the curtain (my wall of insecurity), I would admit that I wanted to be published.

He said: “…And never forget that I am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.” –Matt 28:20 TPT

My new normal, is a popular expression that implies that what once was out of the norm is now considered normal. It’s about changes. We change our mind – how we see things. We change our actions – new habits, behaviors, where we live, who we live with and so much more. These changes can happen to us or we can choose to make them happen. The result is the same – life as we knew it is no longer.
