Thoughts For Thursday

Our God is the most amazing artist. It reminds me that some will always find fault in everything and in everyone. Seeing the positive in situations is hard for some. Gratitude is much more than a fleeting “thank you.” It’s a deep appreciation within yourself for the...

It is clear that God wants us to live intentionally. He desires us to make wise choices that benefit our well-being and help us remain close to Him. We simply can’t do that if we don’t love ourselves. If we don’t grasp and appreciate our value, we won’t treat...

If you’re feeling a little lost, it’s okay. If your ambitions, dreams, desires, wants, and needs have changed, it’s okay. It’s been two years of a pandemic. It’s okay if it has changed you. It’s okay if you’re meeting yourself for the first time, or again. It’s okay...

I’m a recovered runner. And I’m not talking about the athletic kind. I mean the kind that when things got tough, I ran. When relationships hit a rough patch, I ran. When there was drama, I ran. When there was confrontation, I ran. I ran from feelings, emotions, and...

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have...

I'm a really good listener.I try to be fair, non judgmental, intuitive, and give the best advice I can offer. I love that people look to me for advice. It is the highest form of flattery and friendship. I have friends that are 20 , 30, 40, and higher. No matter the...
