sought after

....sometimes watching people get it wrong....is a way of showing you how to get it right....// There are dreams in life that once in a lifetime come true...there are also dreams that come true everyday...and then there ones that never come true. Lately life has brought the latter...and having to embrace the thought that the dream won't come true. Maybe it's the melancholy thoughts that shadow the true feelings of believing in the dream...and causes one to believe that the dream won't come true....//


There is a dream...for each of us...something that can't fully be grasped on it's own...but must be sought after....//

Isaiah 62:12: "...and you will be called sought after..."

holiday joy

It's that time of year...when the stockings are hung by the chimney with care...in hopes that Saint Nick will be soon be there...// The shimmering lights adorn the tree and smiles and laughter fill the room...and a sense of magic has never been more clear. It's the holiday joy that we all embrace and sends a sparkle to our face...// It's the magic...that the most wonderful time of the year is being celebrated and the bright star is guiding the way....// The hustle and bustle is ever present where ever one goes... and sounds of Christmas fill the air...// That itself is the beauty of this Holiday....however, the miracle of love surrounds this season...and makes it whole...and that's the greatest story ever told...// Not only is magic apart of this holiday joy...but that love is found in the magic of His story....// So as one hopes for Saint Nick to fill those stockings with joy....know that the magic of this holiday... is a blessing from the one with a greater story....//

can they pass

There's so much one could say and question. There's truths untold....and memories that were never discussed. There's a lack of clarity when all seems lost...and when things occur to take one off their course. Don't they see...do they get it....do they care??

There are things in life that purposely happen to test our faith, determine our steps, and strengthen our character....but do we pass?? The real question is ....can they pass??


There was a time in life when a person could absolutely pass a test and follow the course and keep their eye on the star. The older one gets the more one questions can they pass?? Can they pass the test of faithfulness, courage, determination, and solidarity- Can they pass the test to trust and gain hope through building their own character-


This journey is about trust...and how in the end it's all about what one trusts- Trusting that the person absolutely can pass...but even more trusting the Lord that the character of another will shine forth.

So life is perilous and can bring confusion and cause one to question something else...that clearly is wrong....and take them completely in another direction....or....one can accept who they are, what they have become and how they can add trust in another's life.


It's easier said than done...to trust...but that's what life is built upon...and it is ultimately one of the hardest things to live out- Can they pass??
