Faith is the substance of hope and foundation from which it grows. Faith activates purposeful actions that reveal the heartseed belief. Faith makes way for purpose living.
The path to my success will be determined by me. I can learn from others. I can follow their advice. No matter how hard I try, or how much I want it, I will never be in a position to follow them. I am unique and therefore my path will be unique. There are s…
It was a dark and stormy night . . . or maybe if it had been then my feelings could have been excused. I felt dark and stormy. The reality was a clear sky with a crystal blue color that would make your heart sing. The wind blew and was cold, but it was far…
Somethings in the Scripture make me wonder what I am missing. I know that there has to be more to the story. It is not there by accident. The story of the blind man that Jesus healed in Bethsaida (Mark 8:22 – 26) held one of those moments. It took Jesus two times to heal…
Homeschooling three boys has allowed me to experience many things I may not have had the chance to encounter otherwise (it has also made my spelling much better, but that is a story for a different post). I found Adventures in Odyssey when I was searching for something to entertain us as we drove to…
“He doesn’t respect you like he should.” “I stay away because I can’t stand to see the way he treats you.” “He is not nice to you.” I heard the words that people around me were sharing. I listened to their concerns. I understand what instigated their words. He does raise his voice to me…

The morning started out normal enough, but then the darkness closed in. I am still not sure how it found me, but it did. It was thick. It was heavy. It sucked the energy right out of me. I had no real desire to do much and so I did nothing. I tried. I started…
Javacia, over at See Jane Write Magazine, offered a full thirty days of writing prompts for #bloglikecrazy. Day Six called those participating to share their favorite TED talk. If you have yet to encounter TED talks, now is your chance. It is all about ideas worth sharing and many of the talks will have you…
Starting out with blogging had me listening to everyone all the time and trying to implement all those suggestions. It left me doing a lot of running but getting nowhere. I quit worrying about it for a season, and focused on my words instead. I began to make some progress. Along the way, I started…
I woke up this morning and refused to get out of bed. That has not happened in several weeks. I participated in the Southern Women’s Show in October and each morning I had to be up by 5:00 am. I determined that if I could do it for four days in a row then I…
