How painting walls and relationships can be the same

Beauty is found everywhere and in everything. How do we let the beauty of our ashes become refinement for others?

We should all learn how to drop our stones and walk away. 

Having realistic expectations is important in life and will help you from needless pain in your relationships.

How to find God's position for you.

Push to the Point of Failure  (Poem by Maria Wingard) When you Fail then still try It causes others to cry. Not for you... Sad but true Introspection creates a mental hue.   Your grit  doesn’t fit  with their quit Yet... still do it.   Your fierce Tenacity  May birth Jealousy. Not for prices paid  but of success made.  Their quitter strip  Can’t be your guilt trip. Push to the point of failure  fo...

renewing our minds with the word of God

How to reload your mind with scripture.

We are on information overload.

Anger is the fuel to the clickbait.

We are distracted.

Too many people are wasting precious days of their lives investing in mere impact. Jesus never did this, nor is it to be our example of what to do. Jesus has literally impacted the entire world simply by influencing and investing primarily in just 12 people. If we want to have impact we must first influence, and that is by focusing on the people that are in our innermost sphere. It might seem humb...

Breaking the addiction to feeling like you have to have access to knowing everything that is going on around you is difficult. The majority of us want to feel like we are “in the know” or “heard it first.” My breaks from social media have always left me refreshed, but I struggle feeling left out in the dark ~ ostracized and alone. I believe this gap of disconnect will only grow even wider with the...

Part 2 of the blog I wrote on the anniversary of my dads death.

I wrote this on the 1 year anniversary of my dad's death. 

How do we deal with pesky wounds that refuse to heal? Wound collars!  Sometimes we don’t see miracles in our lives because at the root of it all, it’s a trust issue.  We don’t really believe God.  We don’t take Him at His word.  We justify how that doesn’t apply to us.  Yes God said it, but that was for over two thousand years ago, not for now and definitely not for me. We really don’t trust that...

Today we talk about how clothing choices are used to hurt and dishonor.

Choosing to believe in the ultimate goodness of God and that He loves you in the mist of a winter for your soul while choosing to hold on to His loving hand bridges the gap disappointment creates. Somehow you find yourself Marching on with the God infused heart beating strong inside of you, loving all people with no conditions attached knowing they're NOT worthy... and that neither are you. T...

Today we address boundaries and healthy conflict resolution.   How to assess and have realistic expectations. In all relationships, the extent I am willing to bring up and RESOLVE issues indicates to what extent I value that relationship. If we are also honest with ourselves, maybe it's God who has disappointed and left us unhappy. Do we at times find Him "toxic?" Could we be pushin...

It is so hard to not have the expectation that people will be there for you in your hour of need simply because you were there for them in theirs. It is hard to face that fact that some relationships simply are not reciprocal. Relational support is an unrealistic ~ yet realistic expectation. The problem is you typically don't get to see a persons reciprocity until they either bear the weight...

I wrote this series while walking through end of life with my father so it seems fitting to release it on the anniversary of his death.  There are seasons in life that mark you. There is a scarring and a changing that does not allow you to go back to life as normal. A winter for your soul. The void between Christmas and the birthing of life that spring brings. The desolation and isolation of winte...
