Rose Colored Glasses

Leave a comment
I really do own a pair of rose-colored glasses. When I’m wearing them, life looks great. Besides appearing quite fashionable, my surroundings become bright and cheery. Flowers are touched with hints of rose glow; the sky dusted with shades of pink radiance. I feel warm, at peace with the world, I am happy. Sounds nice doesn’t it? But wait…there’s another story. I also have a pair of brown sun glasses. When I’m sporting these, those warm hues of rose are missing. Instead, the horizon feels dull and drab. I’m tired. I want to take a nap. My outlook is altered by the choice … Continue Reading ››

  1. Delight in God
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

  • Choosing to no longer be a victim.

How to Stop Brain Gossip

Leave a comment
How do you handle the negative story your mind is telling you? The carnal command center of our brain often whispers juicy tidbits about others and ourselves. Unfortunately, those negative nuggets usually come from the enemy or our own selfish nature. How do we strike them down? Or do we listen to the story and add other embellishments, then take it as truth? The problem with brain gossip—the story we tell ourselves about ourselves or others—goes through our own motive filters instead of the Word of Truth.  The story we ruminate on is a reflection of what we truly think and believe and … Continue Reading ››

Soul-Guarding

Leave a comment
In the emotional realm when hurt and pain leaves us wounded and feeling vulnerable, Instead of enjoying the life and zeal of those around us, we often tend to become avoidant, steering clear of human interaction. I call it Soul-Guarding. Heather seems to be a nice and confident girl.  She freely communicates through writing and texting, but in person she is completely withdrawn.  Her non-verbals scream a clear message, “Stay away from me.”  She intentionally rejects any display of warmth while in person, yet later through writing she will open up. Soul-Guarding Jessica is shy, yet friendly, until you engage her more personally. Then she coils up and … Continue Reading ››
