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. Today I went searching for some...

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.

I have been diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Panic Disorder.  Having to live with these, as well as a few other disorders can leave me frantic if I let things get too out of control.  I mainly regulate my anxiety levels with...

There is Still Hope

Photo by Rosie Kerr on Unsplash It seems that as I get older, each birthday I have becomes more like a slap in the face, rather than a blessing. As the numbers creep up, I continue to decline. No matter how much we try to fight the ageing process, it still keeps chasing us. Some people spend quite a bit of money on trying to look younger as they age, but the internal ageing process still...

Just Saying…

Yes, these poems I write are eclectic in nature. Some days are dark, and some days are light. Some days I just play around, and some days I'm more serious. Today, I wrote a poem about Jesus, my Lord and Savior, and how much I need him.
