You can over think something to death.
I’ve seen it happen and it can be tragic. I know because I’ve been both a culprit and a victim of over thinking; I believe we all have. Sometimes, thinking things through carefully and intensively is necessary. Sometimes, it’s counterproductive. The struggle is finding that balance between need and needless. I’m challenging myself to stop over thinking…

Stake a Claim on This Heart of Mine
I am very blessed to have the people in my life that I have. Some of you may know who you are; some of you may have no idea. Many of those whom I currently know or once knew have touched my heart in a very big way. You may be surprised, but there is…

Faith and Condiments
As of late, I have begun to ask myself what it means to have faith. Not just faith but the kind of faith that moves mountains. If I have faith as small as a mustard seed, I can do that – move mountains, right? But just what exactly does that mean? And here’s another thing; I…

Drive Home
Driving home today with my windows down, I felt a sad awareness that I haven’t been to my parents’ home in a while. It’s the night drive that does it. I love the night drive from Grand Rapids to my hometown. I don’t know why. There’s nothing spectacular about it. I want to experience it…

Some Things are Bigger than Us…
Lord, Thank you for continuing to grow me and for teaching me to set aside my own plans to make way for your purpose. Proverbs 19:21. “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” Help me to be the woman who I desire so desperately to be.…

Take me there with what I've gained.
Take me back to the streets of London. Post me up in a Dublin hostel. Bus me through the streets of Negril. Place me in a photo dark room. Teach me how to sing. Direct me to the front of stage. Let me see the court or pass me an opportunity up field. Recognize the good. Parade…
