Maybe That's The Point

          I wrote something the other day in the genre of nonfiction, and if I'm being fully transparent I am struggling with whether I should share it or not. Not because I don't want to, or that it's something really controversial, but I do not want to be a hypocrite if it's something that I may be saying, but struggling to believe or live out. Maybe that's the point though: stepping into a belief and applying it, even when that belief doesn't come easy, or is only a little (whether that's a tangible act or not). So with that said, I'm posting here what I wrote the other day down below. Maybe it will be an encouragement to someone, to not wait until things are perfect to have faith in Jesus, and in turn in good. But simply to believe even when that belief doesn't come easy; maybe that's the point.

 In The Going (Nonfiction) 


        Grace in the going. Rest in the running. Hope helping hurried hours; here I reflect. Praying, writing, and this will be different. Different in the constant chaos. Different in the pressure of busy and demands; different inside. Grace in the going. Rest in the running. Leaning more in to Jesus again.

Roles We Play

          A place and a time, a story and those involved, and we are stepping into roles we play. From the waking of days to the evening goodbyes there's a calling that invites. Here we meet goals, fulfill responsibilities and roles, roles we play. Here we take time, to pretend and imagine, and we become something better. Men and women, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, all living out the roles we play.            At work or at play, we all make a way, to fulfill to our best the roles in new ways. At different times, in different amounts we all carry on, looking at how to best live our lives, and the roles we play in them. Always looking at how to be our best at our "craft" whatever that is, and however that looks. Parent or spouse, (perhaps even both), these are the roles we play in life; and we can always change them, for better when not done well, this is the grace given us all, something I'm looking at again as I enter th...

Making It Easier

        In an attempt to clean the blog up, add value, and make navigating it easier, I put several older posts together (below). Below is a mix of several different types of writing I've done, both new and old. Thanks for being here.         The Old Place On The Hill (Older Non-Fiction)        Sitting as one speaking stories of long ago, there remains the old place on the hill. The large old house of red brick stands steady yet worn, tired, though not enough to speak of it's long years long forgotten now. It speaks and none seem to listen....almost none. Years of lives lived there and it remains quiet, simply is, and this is it's final story.         Representing it's small "community" of dwellings, it stands to listen as they speak. I pass by and listen if they'll speak, though they never do. Only memories of old echo from their worn and tired frames, some old narrow trailer and a carport that seems to wan...

When I Feel Invisible

         When I feel invisible, I slip into it, walk through life and humanity undetected; sometimes. I revel in the lack of pressure to measure up, to be something instead of someone.            When I feel invisible, I embrace the grace, create in the quiet that is granted, and look again. Look again at what I value, what I believe, where I find my worth and identity. In the hidden there is room to grow and my soul rejoices.             When I feel invisible, forgotten, I reflect back again, speak back to myself, and remind me I'm not, I just feel that way sometimes.
