Adjusting Our Lens

I’ve heard the phrase, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” many times, yet the other day it came alive to me. Standing in front of my subject, I see beauty and want to capture it on camera.  I set my eye to the window viewer, and all I see is blur. Simply aiming…

Love Heals All

“Time heals all things” “It just takes time” Society often uses these phrases when consoling someone during a time of grief.

As I embrace this season of “wait” & “rest”, the Holy Spirit gave me this understanding and I could hardly wait to share with you! Wherever you might be on your journey, may you join me in reveling in the here & now. May you look up to Christ, and focus on Him, rather than…

When You've Got Nothin'

Lately, I’ve found myself at a loss for words with my writing. Well, maybe not completely at a loss for words, but they aren’t flowing as frequently as they have been and I just keep thinking “I’ve got nothin’ to say”. I’ve been wrestling with this issue because after all, how can a writer write…

When Healing Hurts

I have some friends who are going through some very difficult times as they maneuver through healing & growth.  Watching them agonize over the pain involved, in God putting the broken pieces back together, is a lot like watching a doctor reset a broken bone: it looks and hurts like hell, yet has to be…

Take the Time

I receive a text from a friend saying she’s thinking of me, praying for me & hopes all is going well.  I get a beautiful card in the mail encouraging me & appreciating my friendship.  I listen to a message on Voxer from a friend who’s rejoicing in our answered prayers & offering a special…
