It’s funny: the title of this was my reality yesterday, and I believe yesterday happened, so that I would have this title, and someday, it’ll be the title of a book I’ll write about faith. Faith: it’s in me; I know it; I breathe it; I live it. But there are times, when, the reality of not having much makes fear a temptation, and yesterday was one of those times. Continue reading

“REAL Value”
if I could sell what’s in my heart
I’d be rich
because of what’s in my heart
I “am” rich
What Faith is Like
I’m sure there are perfect Christians out there, who never agree with fear, never have doubt, never lose track, etc., but I’m not one of them, and yesterday, I made the mistake of looking at my bank account balance…never a good idea, but Nathan wanted some specific food from Sam’s Club, so I needed to check.

“Blindfolded”
when the bills are due and you’re just ‘not there’ yet

no need to fret
another opportunity
to trust
to believe
to listen
to move
walking by faith
leaving everything behind
discovering new land
to live in

I get to work from home! I get to make flags!,” and I was so excited! It felt like Christmas morning. This whole weekend felt different.

When I look to the stars
there’s a beyond Continue reading
Lunch with Lee

It seems like it will be hard to put into words the wonderful lunch we had, but I will do my best to invite your heart to dance with mine. Continue reading
