There comes a time in life when you have to stop blaming others and own up to the things that you did to you. But worry not my friend, just go to God to heal all that. For the brokenness in life is much of what we have caused and allowed to happen. And God is in the business of fixing! Always!

So stop the blame game, own up to it, take responsibility for your actions… Take the focus off of what everyone else did wrong and recognize what you did wrong.
There in itself is your healing and restoration. That is what I recognized this year and not by self, but it was God that had to intervene and say “WAIT! I have to wreck these plans of hers before they wreck HER! For my ways are higher, My thoughts are higher… And I know that the plans that I have for her are RIGHT!” Continue reading

I was running outdoors yesterday evening because I no longer have an indoor gym membership and thought how meaningful things could be when you just take it outside! While running I pass several people, level ground, crisp air…it’s nice! My pace is in full gear, steady breathing and I am passing several people.

Don’t worry…I am safe, God is with me.

It says so much… It is a delicate moment, mixed emotions, crazy busy, excitement, expectation… All these things flooding through at once… I felt in my spirit this morning, “Pack just what you need, you can’t take everything but take enough so that you won’t drown moving forward! Sometimes there is NO FORMAL GOODBYE! You just have to go… It is all part of the let go and let God!” Continue reading

Don’t you just hate when you start that uncomfortable toss and turn in the middle of the night only to find that no matter which way you turn there is no way you are going back to sleep.

YEA! Those sleepless nights, I tell ya!

Maybe it’s issues, maybe it’s business, maybe it’s stress, maybe it’s contemplations, maybe it’s work that has to get done, maybe it’s excitement for what’s to come… in any case how do we fight those sleepless nights? Because we really do need adequate rest to function effectively!

So much to do during the holidays to finalize and tie up loose ends. It is work, work and more work. I want to rest but my mind is fully alert and ready to keep moving. I know God has a plan that is bigger than me… Continue reading
