             How do you write fiction? I wish I had an answer. So instead I'll show you. I stopped doubting me, overthinking it. I just write a picture and let it speak, speak on the page. The little frog hopping across the road, dodging vehicles and large predators, looking for his "other side".              He scared and frightened, as most of us are on our journeys through unknown ways; as I am every time I write. Still he hops to cross to what is good; so I'll write, to cross to what is good. Here, remembering Jesus can make much of these creativity offerings of "loaves and fish"; giving them in trust that he'll do great things in them as I "hop" across this unknown road again.  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who cou...

              There is a moment, when light pierces the darkness, when the valley walked through isn't void of any way forward. There is a moment, when circumstances are still there, though they've now lost their hold, and we can walk forward. There is a moment, where the valley doesn't go away, WE go a way forward that Jesus provides, provides as we listen and follow; and I am following.                There is a moment, where we remember the valley doesn't define, only refines, and we continue toward a mountaintop, appreciating it more as we remember what it took to get there that makes it more valuable to us.  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also.

           When bravery is hope; I'll hope. When courage is believing good is still possible; I'll be courageous. When faith is trusting in Jesus for His presence and power to work the seemingly impossible; I'll have faith in Him. Even when I'm struggling; I choose a brave, courageous faith in Jesus even when I don't know how it'll work out.

             We've both seen better days, been brand new you might say. Time has issued it's blows though, worn us down and left it's marks upon us.                     This thing called days and ways has worked on us; still we are called upon to be used again and again; you with duct tape, me with glucosamine and alot of prayer. Even here in the trials that take more than give, I remember: Jesus is still faithful to redeem and restore, even through some electronic car remote held by a man nearing fifty clinging to Jesus when no other way will do.  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also.

            To square pegs trying to fit into the round holes, I hope you know there's a place for you. You aren't square without good reason. Your corners matter, and you don't have to file them down or round them off.              To the square pegs told to be round; be you. NOT because you wanna be defiant, but because this is who you are. You will find your "match", your place you're meant for. In the journey there be grateful you're square, for you were meant to do something no one else could do that isn't shaped like you.
