Not particular excited about the title, but I’m back… it’s been an interesting 2 month journey. I’ll share some of my experiences and learnings in future posts, but how… What’s next! Not a question… a statement. (Somehow I think that 2023, the start of a new year and the end of my hiatus, begins on […]
I think we all are familiar with this word. Webster defines it as: “an interruption in time or continuity: BREAK: especially: a period when something (such as a program or activity) is suspended or interrupted” That’s what I think is happening for me, I’m beginning a new season. For the pat 14+ years I’ve been
When it comes to our mistakes, errors in judgment, sins…it’s how we respond that define us… in so many ways. ‘Doing the right thing’ is not always easy… it’s not necessarily ‘automatic’… but I think we always instinctually (or intuitively) know. The only question is – HOW we respond. Do we try to hide? ignore?

We are always going through… Tests. But I think most of us need to redefine what the word means and does. I believe that the purpose for tests is to help us discover what we don’t know, what we still need to understand. God is not punishing us or displeased with us, He is testing
And again I say PROCESS!!!!!!! The ‘older’ I get the more I realize/am fully convinced that all learning is a continual building process.

But defensively… what’s missing? I would argue that we
“But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.” [Galatians 5:22-23] Love/Joy/Peace/Patience/Kindness/Goodness/Faithfulness/Gentleness/Self-ControlDo we know the definitions of these

Just so you know and realize… the Lord NEVER shames us. Period. He doesn’t ‘use’ share to chastise or correct us. He knows the impact of shame and would never places this as punishment. Which leaves…. the source of shame – the devil. He does use shame and try to cripple us. He hates us
Are you? What do you do with/about being blessed? Do you hoard it – holding it tightly to you so it doesn’t ‘get away’? Perhaps you put it in a little box, under lock and key, and put it somewhere ‘safe’? Do you act on your blessing? Do you spread the joy around? Do you
I think I would argue that just enough of what the devil tries to entice us to believe IS truth. Just not the whole. A single word added or subtracted can make all the difference – remember how Eve responded. And you have to remember that the devil has honed his ability to lie over
