Sometimes the dreams I dream in the night disquiet my soul. I am unsure of what I have seen and what does it mean? I know it means something. So I quietly speak to my Father and lay it upon His altar and entrust it there in His care. He has shown me these things for a reason and the time and season may be a later date. I can trust these insights to His keep and I don’t have to lose precious sleep. The knowledge will return when He

Under the right conditions the heart can become a raging inferno~enflamed with Love, Hope, Passion.

Under the right conditions the human heart can overflow will all kinds of goodness.

Under the right conditions moisture can return and strength to the stem and to the bloom of a heart that has been withered, wilted and dry.

Under the right conditions people can thrive.

Under the right conditions people gain courage to try things they’ve never tried before because they know they are loved and adored.

What

Spiritual fitness is a bit like physical fitness. Health, wholeness and healing come to all who expose their being to possibility.

Mind

When we exercise our mind and free expression we open our world and it becomes larger. One thing I’ve always said college can do for a young person is give them a bigger world view and expand their deductive reasoning abilities.

Body

When you work a muscle with resistance training you explore the possibility the muscle fibers offer. Will I get stronger? Will I grow bigger? Will I

Can I be honest for a moment? Transparent?

I am perhaps one of the most private people you could ever encounter. It is a sheer act of God that I write. That I bear my soul with my pen, that I use the internet or profusely post on social media pages. Left to my own, I’d write for me alone (like I used to do)—just me and my journal keeping everything I write to myself with bits of it spilling out in personal notes I like to mail to

Well…
Hello there.

What an excellent day.
I hear it was Heaven made.

But what exactly does that mean to you?

A Heaven made day means something different to everyone, but here’s a glimpse into my heart and what stirs me deeply. For me…this is what it means.

I love the free expression my heart yields in His Presence. It is frequently found in my pen, but when I speak it is found there as well.  Time spent meditating on God, reading, writing, praying—these things bring out the best in me.

What

I adore my father. I just told him today that he is a Croatian stud. If anyone has great DNA, it’s him. Timeless, and can I please have his skin tone? The man has fantastic skin. Anyway, he is also extremely kind hearted and gentle, yet a loyal defender. I brag about his genetics, but the inside of a man is always far more attractive than anything external. For all of humanity this is true.

Chivalry has never offended me,

 it refreshes me.

REST in the Arms of the Almighty.

At the end of the day you can rest when you know you’ve given your best and can trust God with the particulars of world order and personal progress and provision. Learn to say no to some things so you can say yes to others. There are demands for our time and attention everywhere. Be intentional about rest!

EXERCISE your freedom to choose to be kind, generous, and willing to discipline yourself in right living. Take up hobbies that refresh your soul. Do charitable work

A writer is always writing, and sometimes—we use a pen.

I’ve been a writer my whole life. I just didn’t always know it. I am an observer of souls. My heart the cradle that holds it all in.

I’ve held it all in my entire life. Literally. I am very friendly, but at the same time enormously shy. I am one who always holds back, especially when my emotions are high. I am a chronic and habitual hold back sort of person. It is easy and it is awful all

I know what I have in you…
I know what I have with God.

You are so good to me, so gentle, so faithful, so kind.
You bless my soul and you comfort my heart.

Nobody knows me like you.
Nobody knows what I endure or what keeps my heart preoccupied.
Nobody knows what inspires my dreams.

You alone are God and like you there is none other.

My heart is betrothed to heaven.
You are my Sanctuary.
You are my Riverbed.
You are Golden and Bright.
You ignite my passions and

Tonight I ran into the market for just a couple items. It’s was late, the store would be closing, I only had about ten minutes…

I was able to fetch the items I needed, all two, and head to the registers. The store, which is usually quite busy during the day, was slow and lacking traffic because of the time of day it was. I moved in and out of the store quickly. As I climbed in my car I happened to look out the passenger side window, I happened to
