Sometimes we have to
LOSE OURSELVES
in order to find
WHO WE REALLY ARE

-Dacian Miron

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. For many are called, but few are chosen.

Saying Goodbye to Boomer

My son has been a mess the last few weeks as Boomer's condition has worsened.  And today as he spends time with him and prepares to say goodbye to his furry friend, I'm reminded that the last picture that was in my phone before Josh's stroke…
I don't even know what to title this entry - but I'm asking the Lord to convict the hearts of all who carry accusations and blame, condemnation and judgement among another's sin and namely mine.  I just read an entry from many years ago where…

Human love is nothing like Gods Love Breaking the Old Heart

I spent many years giving my all to someone and sacrificed so many things - virtually everything.  I truly believed I was doing God's will, and perhaps I was.  But the human heart tied to the human ego would be exposed in a very big way.  If…

The Unclean Lie

Everywhere we turn right now, we're shunned and judged by something or someone.  It doesn't matter how you dress, talk, walk, where you're from, what color skin you have or what you believe in - there's an opposition so strong and so loud,…

Don't Blame the Man, Look at Jesus

I want the anger and bitterness to be broken off of me so badly, I can hardly think throughout most moments of most days. Yet who is the cause if there is no good person - if "we don't wrestle against flesh and blood"? Last night I went to…

Condition of the Human Heart and the God that Goes After the One Lost

We don't want what we don't work for, what we don't earn or think we worked to deserve or what doesn't run the opposite direction away from us. No, we want what we can't have until we have it and then it becomes meaningless. Cheap. Of no value. It…

Returning to my First Love

My heart is broken for my children and even myself today, realizing how focus on the temporary things that have been destroyed and yet linger still creates a type of hell on earth that the mind really can't heal from - can't comprehend.... not…

The World will Hate you Because it Hated Me First

Can I truly grasp the words of Jesus as he prepared to leave the earth and delivered a message to his disciples so that they wouldn't be alarmed or caught off guard by the way the world would feel about them? And can I love anyway when I'm…

We don't get to choose who God Sends - Mix Matched Oil

Have you ever felt like if you put someone in your little box you could be the one to save them? I have and I've tried it and failed miserably. The crazy thing about seeing the brokenness in another person and setting out to help that person…

Father I am Disgusted with Myself Please forgive me I knew not What I was Doing

I spent years in prayer asking for compassion, mercy, miracles and healing over one that was very clearly "the least of these"..  - a man who had been struck down to a place of loss that I can only imagine, walking through a set of shoes that…

Christ in The Judgement of All

I am terrified tonight.  Christ appeared to me in a dream years ago.  He was larger than the mountains and stood over everything, stoned face as bodies disintegrated into nothing.  I saw this as destruction by sulphur - I'm not even sure…

Everything Has Changed - Falling Down and Climbing Up

I've been gone since March from all kinds ministry - literally, physically and emotionally. This has been the hardest test of all for me so far in this lifetime because my heart has been challenged beyond my strength. I'll explain later.…

Faith in Nothing, Except...

Angie asked me to write because it’s been so long since I have.  It’s not that I don’t want to share updates with her followers or that I’m not interested in trying to encourage people who are going through tough times - quite the…

20 Year Anniversary - FAIL

One of the milestones that we often pride ourselves on are relationship goals - anniversaries in particular. I've always admired couples who make it in marriage for the long haul. It's funny, the only ones in my family to surpass 50 years…

Turning the Page

So often, I fail to acknowledge the duality that's woven into the journey of this short little life here - the endings that are contrary to my desire, my plan and even my beliefs. Three years to the day that I would receive divorce papers...…

Christ is the author and finisher of my faith and my story.

“For those seek to save their lives will lose life and those who lose their lives for my sake will have life eternal” – Christ
