When we are looking for our worth, value, purpose, or meaning “out there” in the world from our work, what we do, or from our children, or anywhere other than from God in ourselves, we tend to show up to our life needy and clingy and expectant. When we are looking for love, joy, or …

Are You Tired of Worrying?
And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? Instead, seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you. Luke 12:25, 31 God keeps gently reminding me to TRUST Him more. TRUST in all things. In all circumstances and situations. He is reminding me in my soul as I am …
Why do we expect people to be perfect?
Why do we think other people should never get upset? Or why do we expect other people to always get along? Or why do we think people should know what we are thinking without us telling them? Or why do we think other people should think like we think or do what we think they …
Be PROUD of YOU!

Happy Valentine’s Day.
If you profess love to someone, then you should practice showing them love with your words and actions. This sounds so nice. And I wish that it were always true, that when someone professed love then loving actions followed but sadly, we know that is not the case. I have good news. We can feel …
Ideal. Real. Tension.
There is a gap between where we are (the real) and where we want to be (the ideal) which creates tension. We must accept this gap, and the tension we feel, as we move towards becoming the person Jesus teaches us to be. We live towards the ideal Jesus teaches without condemning those who fall …
This Is How It Is.
People seem to battle with reality. They think life “should go” a certain way. They have expectations and ideals about how people should be, about how the world should be, about what is supposed to happen. Then when people, the world, situations, do not go as they expected they become angry, frustrated, disappointed, unhappy with …
