I needed hope and to believe that I have a future. When I go to bed at night now, on someone’s love seat, I hold my teddy bear. I always hold him at night, but lately I am holding on tighter. I am in a position of transition. I am in the middle of something…

I had thought I knew what I was doing and what to do next. I was ready to take action that would resolve an issue that had been causing me anguish, yet I felt terrible. I had a headache, a stomachache, and could not think straight. I kept thinking that the pressure and pain were…

In Matthew 12:20-21 (TEV), it says, “He will not break off a bent reed, nor put out a flickering lamp.” He will persist until he causes justice to triumph, and on him all peoples will put their hope. I have been listening to the Holy Spirit for the last six years, and I do feel…

Last week I left my art studio, where I had everything I needed to paint with mixed media supplies, watercolors, acrylic markers, acrylic paints, pastels, and colored pencils. I had canvases, paper, water containers, and drop cloths. I had sparkly things, mediums, gold leaf, and a rechargeable paint dryer. After I got where I was…
