Through His Strength, For His Glory

A season of new life

Here is just some of my truth. Some days are harder than others. Some days are much, much harder than others. Some days are easier. There are a few days that have hard things and are still easier. I have suffered from clinical/major depression for 22 years - so I have known a lot of hard days. What I feel the need for you to know is that there have been an abnormal number of easier, better, happier days lately. Part of that is that I now have time to work on my mental health and make it ... read more

Thirst No More

Our Calico cat, uniquely named, Callie, is a spitfire. She dashes through the house as if there is an emergency that only she can solve on the other side.

My feelings about that song now cannot quite be described as love. None the less, it showed me how ... read more

Words from a Writer

Once I knew that I was going to be staying at home, I began to dream about what I would do with that much time. One of parts that I looked most forward to was the quiet time. My life had been more than a little loud for enough months that I was craving quiet. A month and a half into it, I am still grateful for the quiet around me. It helps to quiet the loud inside me. It helps me to pick out one thought at a time and actually think it through before deciding on next steps. I also was excited ... read more
