Easter. It seems incredibly impossible to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, when everything around you feels dead. Your family is gone – but rejoice, Christ has risen. Your friends are scattered – but rejoice- Christ has risen. You feel an overwhelming sense of sadness- but rejoice, Christ has risen. You walk into the nursery at Church … Continue reading Celebrating the Resurrection when all you feel is Death

It was brought to my attention on Friday that I had some new readers. Critical readers. Readers who know my past. Actually, they don’t know my past. They think they know my past because they know part of it so they criticize. Well, actually, they gossip. Honestly, I was really angry when I found out. … Continue reading Dear Readers
I don’t know why, but I feel compelled to write this post because I know you’re out there. I know there are women who need to hear this because when I needed it, there was no one to say it. You fell in the shower last night and hit your face on the edge of the tub- … Continue reading Dear Sister: You Deserve Better
I’ll be honest. When 2015 rang in, I wasn’t that excited about it. “Great. Another year. Here’s to this one not being as bad as the last” “Yeah, I’ll drink to that.” I sat on the couch next to a dear friend. We had just done sparklers and pop rocks with her little boy. In … Continue reading For Such a Time
“Sometimes someone hurts you so much, it stops hurting at all.” And then sometimes you’re the one doing the hurting. And sometimes, you never meant to hurt anyone, but you still just want someone to fight for you. Fight for me Love me Choose me Accept me But you stand there alone watching other peoples stories unfold wishing you could be … Continue reading Fight for Me
Maybe you know what I mean when I say my heart feels as though it’s been ripped into a million shattered little pieces. You know, the kind of glass that shatters in little shards and is impossible to put back together. The kind where you just grab the broom and dust pan and throw away … Continue reading Out of the Ashes- A Door of Hope
The purpose exceeds the pain, But the pain feels bigger than the unknown purpose. Purpose? Purpose for what?Purpose for living? Purpose for loving? Purpose…. Why am I here?The question evading. I hear the question in the silence,I hear it in the crowds. The questions are yet unanswered…lingering questions, lingering doubts. The purpose for grief,no one … Continue reading Purpose
Some things just don’t make sense. Suffering. It doesn’t makes sense to me. Maybe it’s not supposed to make sense, but in my human mind it seems so sporadic and random. It seems like it falls on some people and then passes by others. I know, I know, everyone goes through hard times. But I’m … Continue reading Walls
“Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room. Memorize what it sounded like when you dad gets home. Remember the footsteps, remember the words said-And all your little brother’s favorite songs. I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone…Oh, I don’t wanna grow up, wish I’d never grown up- I could still be little…Oh I don’t … Continue reading What really is Forever
We have our cute little family pictures on Instagram. Then there’s a picture of the meal you made for your hubby- the Chicken Parmesan with the organic sides, and your tall glass of wine with the home made bread. Then the next day they tweet about how folding their husbands laundry is such a joy … Continue reading So Basically it’s all Fake
Someone asked me yesterday afternoon why I loved children so much…here’s my answer. 🙂 Some see a naughty boy who is always in trouble. I see a child who doesn’t have a father. Some see a little girl who can’t seem to brush her hair. I see a child who at home is just a … Continue reading Some See A Child
