I’ve been thinking about those times when I felt helpless – when my situation was dire, when my hope was fading, and when I couldn’t see a way forward – all I could do was cry out to the Lord. Looking back now, I remember those moments of peace when God stepped into my helplessness…
These are challenges for me: giving thanks in all circumstances…finding joy in all situations…staying in prayer continuously…finding the peace that overcomes anxiety. But I know how important it is to keep working on it. And thinking of that led to this: “Gratitude” I always think, “what might have been”,When my long days come to an…
I find moments where creation seems to be crying out and pointing me to the God of Wonders who created heaven and earth and all things on the earth.

This poem is my journey…knowing about the silence, resisting it for much of my life, and then discovering through…
I laughed this week as I realized how much I go back and forth between conviction that brings peace and then hesitation or doubt that creates anxiety. This week it was the latter…again. I found myself in the middle of the fog of life, and I kept thinking about the difference between what I know…
I needed peace this week…from the worries…from the anxieties…from the uncertainties…from the frustrations…from the noise that only seems to get louder as my need for peace grows stronger.
