5/3/2019 0 Comments learning to be uncomfortable “I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound: everywhere and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. – Philippians 4:12 (KJV) I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13 (KJV) I know how.
Hmmm I. know. how. to be. . This then would mean that to be able to be abased and to abound is a skill. To be able to manage being hungry and full at the same time. To be able to suffer and to enjoy and to not give too much credence to either one. It’s a skill worth learning because joyous / celebratory / good times will come as will hurtful /hard/ sad / sufferable times but the questions is, can you allow both?

3/25/2019 5 Comments Do I Love you?Have you ever enjoyed by the idea of someone? Or maybe I should say the idea of something?

The thought crossed my mind just as easily and habitual as though it crossed it every day trying to slip by unnoticed and gain entrance into my heart; bringing with it it’s friends of depression, fear and resignment. And maybe it does, slip by every blue moon, but this time, I seemed to be okay with it lingering for a while. I’m not sure as to why this day was different; at other times, I think the thought, snatch it up and toss it out. But when it re-visited me this time knocking on the door of my brain, I choose to accept it. 3/14/2019 0 Comments Jumping in? I am. . .ready or not!This I my new normal.
