Old Hurts
Just when you aren’t looking an old hurt, a forgiven hurt, pops up. You have forgiven the person and the thing they did to hurt you. You even forgot about it. Then there it is. Trying to get in your heart and scratch the scar. Tell it No. Hand it to Gods. Do not give…

Day 97
I love this old hymn. In the multimedia world we live in I was tempted to find it on YouTube. However, I am a word girl. I love the words of this hymn so much I’m breaking my own rule and posting song lyrics. The copyright is listed below. I don’t know about tomorrowI just…

Day 80
Everyday I wake up. Pray. Listen. Plan. Work. Pray. Listen. Focus. Write. Pray. Trust. Listen. Rest. Repeat. This is how I get through each day. Sometimes work is replaced with play. Pray. Listen. Live. Rest. Repeat.
