I am an intercessor, which means I pray a lot for others. It is not some religious exercise I attempt, but more like an ongoing conversation with God. My heart breaks when people are hurting, my soul rejoices when they rejoice. I cannot seem to stop that compassion from happening, and so, I consider it … Continue reading A Day To Pray
Top 10 Reasons I Hate Insomnia
10. I am exhausted all day, and wide awake all night. (I know this one is obvious, but it must be stated anyway.) 9. I find myself counting my dogs’ snores, and being jealous. 8. I cannot decide whether to get up because I might not go back to sleep, or to stay in bed … Continue reading Top 10 Reasons I Hate Insomnia

Status Update
I checked my Facebook newsfeed yesterday and found that the first five posts were some of my cancer friends. One, just starting treatment was getting ready to lose her hair. Another was beginning chemo treatments for the second time. Having cancer return is hard enough, handling it when you are pregnant adds a whole new … Continue reading Status Update
Change
I love this time of year when the mountains are changing their clothes…taking off the drab browns and grays of winter and putting on the multidimensional greens of spring. As I drive along the back roads, which are most roads around where I live, the changes are evident. Pollen is thick, the breeze is still … Continue reading Change
The Dawn is Coming!
I went out into the darkness just before the dawn. A black shroud clung to the trees trying not to lose its grip. There was no light, only a chill that gave me goose bumps. It was all inclusive, this shadow, seeking to spread itself into my heart this morning. I looked in every direction … Continue reading The Dawn is Coming!
An Inspirational Moment
You know those inspirational moments? The ones where you are just moving through life, and suddenly something happens which makes time stand still? Something which you know will be remembered amidst the ordinary days as a stand out? I had one of those on Friday. A few weeks ago we had a poetry reading with … Continue reading An Inspirational Moment
Stepping Out
I have been asked this question more than once, “How can you let Hannah go around the world like that?” It was not in any way asked with rude intent, but a genuine heart of how hard it must be to let my girl go. However, I need to make it very clear…I do not … Continue reading Stepping Out
My Refuge
I decided that before I paint my new studio, I wanted to try it out. Sitting at my desk, which I haven’t used since it was moved to this room years ago, I feel somehow at home already. Never mind that I still have a mess all around me, I can fix that. In fact, … Continue reading My Refuge
Humility
Upon my Easter reflection this year the thing that stands out to me is the humility of Jesus. If I were him think I would have just avoided the cross all together and fixed things. Or maybe at least pointed out how I had tried to fix things, and how if it wasn’t for all … Continue reading Humility
