 Pain is a passage, with no choice but to go through.
Dig deep, reach high, the body is not more than I. Everything is fleeting, it all comes and goes, But my love for you is steadfast, it will never slow. Breathe through this passage; where might it be taking you? Let the mind wander, the insights surface, plant a small seed. Whatever comes next, trust you will be pleased. One foot forward, don’t look back. It is where you are going, not where you have been. Crawl, walk, or run through this passage, know you are seen.

8/19/2026 0 Comments Weekly Reflection #10: Doubt and Worry, Step On Them like the Pavement That They Are The beard grows long, the hair turns white; time seemed far away, and is now in plain sight.
The yearnings are a call that mustn't be ignored. Answer the call; where it leads, you do not know. You need not amass a journey's worth of things; rather, trust, surrender, and take small steady steps. I am not hiding; I am never far away. I am always drawing you nearer. My love for you shines true—the beacon of light guiding you home, ensuring you know you are never lost or alone. Doubt and worry, step on them like the pavement that they are. Set sail, eyes on the horizon; it is nearer, what once felt far.  I am always with you, holding you close, a flame that cannot be extinguished.
Even if you need to relight your flame, there is no shame in doing so. When life feels heavy and the burdens feel large, become a child again in My eyes. Home is inside you, it's always been. Laugh. Play. Return to innocence, free from sin. Run through open spaces, but keep the fort in sight. If safety starts to wane, return to My light. Laugh loudly. Live freely. Love boldly in My name. Safety you've always had, it's not yours to claim. I draw you into the light that I AM,
And pull you close, if need be. Whatever you carry, you carry with me. If a burden grows heavy, reassess your grip, I will always be there to catch you should you trip. I will be your pillar, helping you stand tall, And I will lay you down, to give you rest from it all. I am here, holding your hand to the end and beyond, Restoring your hope when you fear it is gone. Take my hand, walk with me, remember my truth: All you need, you’ve always had—God who loves you.  There is nothing I can't accept.
There is no wall I can't break through. You water and grow all that resides in you. We marvel at your creations, how can we be one? That you loved us enough to create us, That we may bask in your sun. You never closed the door, But you let me choose the time, Patiently guiding me through it all, Helping me blossom on your vine. 7/15/2026 0 Comments Weekly Reflection #6: Through Me I breathe in new life, I exhale the old. I remain committed, no matter how things unfold.
I know who I am, and what I like. Being true to myself provides a respite. Sometimes the voice of fear creeps up, wanting to convince me I am not enough. But it is not from me things must come, but rather through me, the Lord's work can be done. This truth is like the sun pouring from above. It's the strength to show up, to surrender to the love. What I need will be there, without fail. God has my back, the truest part of my tale.  The hours tick by, the days roll on. Life is not a hike; it is a meandering trail. Some sights you will like, others you will detest. Just stay on the trail and do your best.
Being human in this time can be a tricky thing. Constant pressures, illusions, and advancement, they call, they pull. Look to your heart. Tend to your home. Love is strength; it is vulnerable but not fragile. Never turn your back on the sun. Even when the darkest clouds prevail, it is there. Know it will shine forth for you, and that it already is. Give thanks for the things that make you smile. Hold them close in your heart. The mind wants more, the heart needs less. It never forgets how it is blessed.  There is joy in watching life unfold. Do your best not to measure it, but let the moment play out.
Each string in a song is perfectly placed. Some notes are low, others are high. But the song in its entirety is what comes from the sky. This notion of getting things right falls to the side. Left or right, do you go up or down? The rightness of being is already found. Shake the branches, watch the leaves fall. Which aspect of the tree are you needing to be? The trunk, the soil, you are part of it all. Should a branch snap and break, embrace the fall. Hold the sun on your face, the breeze on your skin. Let it remind you from where you begin.
 The only one who can close a heart is oneself. A new heart is always ready, beating louder and louder for you.
Comparison is not divine, for they are you, and thou art thine. You have to want something enough to get out of your own way. A day is not worthy because much was achieved, but rather, in that day, did you continue to believe? The practice of sitting in silence may be the hardest of all. It is time to gather, to replenish, to prepare. Thirst no more but drink up from this everlasting cup. There is but one true voice; listen wisely when given the choice. Feel the breath I send to you, the light bright in your heart. Step by step, I guide your way; follow me, don't be led astray. When the time is upon you, you'll step out in trust, for courage can fail you in your hour of need. But that won't matter; you will always have me. |
