The Treehouse

Let’s build a treehouse that only we know. So we can look up at the stars as they glow. Forever in time it will be our place alone.It will only do if it remains unknown.

Walk with me

Have you ever asked someone to walk with you or had someone ask you to walk with them? It’s really such a simple request. Did you do it? I’ve asked and been asked many times to walk with friends or family. Humans need connection to thrive it’s a proven science. We cannot live without each other, and ironically looking at society today it seems as if most of us can’t live with each other. So we ask ourselves “Now what”? I started this post so long ago, but this past Sunday the message was titled “Now What” jogging my memory.

Be Brave!

I once met a soul in a make believe land, of a man with a past I could not understand. His light was bright behind the band of scars. He carried from a life of choices so hard. Beyond broken, deep in a place he hid from the world, but I saw it before we met. As we spoke he became like a sunflower following the light, opening up with a beautiful smile so bright. The shadows within became not so dark as the light filled him shining through cracks in his heart. His eyes twinkled as he spoke about moving forward and I could sweetly see growth happening before me of a soul. How humbling of an experience for a servant like me. He’s on his way to greatness as long as he stands. The devil will try and get a grip anyway that he can. Remember bright soul the enemy only attacks if he knows you have light within and are a threat to him. Go out and be brave! Let your light shine!

52 Days; A Poem of Life out of the darkness

52 days ago my world crumbled. My children and I suddenly had no home, no beds, no pets, no toys, no screaming, no fighting, no breaking things, no eggshells to walk on, no daddy, no husband, no security and no answers. 2 days before Christmas the police intervened when a phone call claiming suicide became beating on my parents door with rage outside waiting for me.
Christmas came and a new year began.
My father had a 5 day stay in the hospital with two heart procedures and a new stint while experiencing kidney failure. Coming closer to death than he ever has before.
By the grace of God we have overcome quite a season of darkness.
Oh what a day it is my father has found Christ after so many years in the dark. My goodness each day is brighter shining with his love. My children are calm, they are smiling, and their hearts are full with hope. With bright eyes the anxiety is gone and our hearts are filled with faith. Our father in heaven has wrapped us in his arms blessing us with real true uplifting love, and by his grace 52 days ago our world became NEW.
