Sometimes you have to stop, just stop and really let it sink in that today is a wonderful day. Today is a wonderful day. Breathing, breathing, breathing it in. Letting go of the busy thoughts, the pushing and the pulling. Today is a wonderful day.

Sometimes, I think about the blessings I have and I don’t understand. Material things that I don’t necessarily want or need. And then there are these other intangible things that I do want or need. And I feel guilty because I still have so much more than so many others. And I feel sad because [...]

I miss you. I miss you furiously. I miss you with a quickness that leaves me gasping for air. I am most alive, I am home, with you. I can not stop that. I can not change that. It has not taken it upon itself to change that. I am perhaps completely unsafe there, but [...]

So much of our life is about perception. What if everything is okay, right now, always? What if we’re missing it the whole time because of how we’re looking at it? What if nothing was not okay?

I will never fail you nor forsake you. (Heb. 13:5) But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wing’s as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31) I’m leaving you with a gift: peace of mind and heart! [...]
