Why? Because I love it!





I have often asked myself,"why do you even bother writing at all?" I don't think anything I write is good enough to be read by anyone. Yet, here I am writing again.

As I think about my why, the one thing that keeps coming to mind is because I need to dump out all the stuff in my brain. It helps me deal with my anxious thoughts, negative thoughts, and helps me to remember all I am blessed with.

I write because I love it! I love writing little notes for my husband. Cards and letters to friends, family, and pen pals. Most of all I love writing prayers to God. Journaling with my mind focused on Him and His word is the most peaceful and amazing time of day!

Ultimately my why is - well, God gave me the desire and I need quite a bit of practice to get to where I want to be.

A Glimpse Into My Journey


Blessed is the man who trusts in Adonai; Adonai will be his security. - Jeremiah 17:7 (CJB)

“Blessed  is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord . - Jeremiah 17:7 (NKJV)

My focus word is Trust. I have quite a bit of issues with trusting humans, myself, and even God at times. I tend to rush into the "I need to do this on my own, fix it on my own, and try to figure our every possible step before stepping out into anything." I struggle with severe anxiety, depression, and a few other issues which make trust even harder. However, I know God is faithful, I know as humans we will fail each other, and I know that I may at the things I set for myself (and that is all okay) - my trust needs to be placed first and foremost on the One who is Trustworthy, Faithful, Strong, Loves Unconditionally, and will NEVER leave me or forsake me. No matter what happens in life, no matter how I feel (emotionally, mentally, physically), no matter my circumstances (financial, material, or even who understands me or not) - God alone matters! His ways are perfect, His plan is perfect, His timing is perfect - all I have to to do is TRUST Him and surrender it all to Him. Easier said than done. But like my therapist has told me, "awareness is the first step." I am aware of my need to Trust God, Rely on God, and surrender to Him completely. Next step - begin the journey!

These photos are my next steps in my journey to Trust more fully. Journaling about trust, writing out scriptures on trust, prayers, and my thoughts I need to surrender to Him.




I ask that you all pray for me in this and I will be praying for you all as well.
