When You’re Tired

  Photo by Abbie Bernet on Unsplash     Do you ever have those days you feel so tired that you wonder if you will ever have any energy again? For me, I freak out a little, thinking I must be headed for another season of low energy. During times where we are tired, it's easy to rush around, trying to get the essential things done, going almost on autopilot. Before we know it, the...

A Little Encouragement for the Day

  Photo by Nathan Dumlao on Unsplash     We could always use a little encouragement to help us through the day. Some days we may need more than others. I began my day by listening to a lady who reads Bible verses aloud on Youtube, and it was really relaxing. I really enjoy listening to Bible verses with the harp playing in the background as well.

The Love of Rebekah and Isaac

Photo by Birmingham Museums Trust on Unsplash     I got the chills this morning as I read the Bible story about Isaac meeting Rebekah for the first time.

A Moment of Reflection

Photo by Noah Buscher on Unsplash For some reason, I woke up in the mindset of reflection this morning. A thought that haunts me from time to time came to visit once again. It centers around my struggle with mental illness and all of the agonies it has brought into my life. One source of agony I did not anticipate it coming from though, was from my own family. Something that has always confused...

Do You Suffer From Anxiety and Fear?

I know that I sure do! Photo by Alexandra Gorn on Unsplash Background Anxiety is something that has plagued me since the recollection of my cognitive existence.  Fear made itself a comfy home inside of my brain and body.
