Realizing the difference between Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness is important. There are times where we look at forgiveness and think that because we act differently that we have forgiven. However, sometimes that is just a lie that we tell ourselves that opens us up to a stronghold in our life. There are times that we... Continue Reading →
Dementia Sucks
Today I decided that dementia SUCKS. I'm a social worker, I don't do social work (well, technically I do) but every part of my being believes in the social work values. That's why I became one. Today one of those core fundamental values was put to the test. It was not something I could separate... Continue Reading →
Dark and Empty Places
There is a place in the corner where the light fades and a shadow falls. There is nothing else there, just empty space. That is where God took me tonight. I thought it was odd. That small step, of what seemed like insignificant obedience, revealed to me how much God wants me in His presence. ... Continue Reading →

The fear that keeps me from stepping out
I hear a lot about people failing to live up to their full potential, failing to step out in to their true purpose. Usually it is tied to fear of failure or fear of rejection. I have tried to say that has been what holds me back, I mean if I couldn't identify it, it... Continue Reading →
Seedlings
Last Wednesday in praise and worship I had a vision of a fenced corner of a plowed piece of land with small seedlings. I could only see a small portion of the land and a small number of plants. They were cute and green, but small. I kept straining to see more, pressing God to reveal... Continue Reading →
