So I did strive for wholeness; in the form I took as broken pieces. The error of my ways is to fall into a pattern of allowing the company of nearly anyone who offers some attention. Distractions disguised as ambition. I have been on a mission; multiple strategies that took form of a treatment...

I have all I can want. I just want to want what I have completely. The truth is complete. How trivial are so many situations, yet, I find my emotions caught in the motions and I fail over and again to simply remain. In the present. In His presence. Word and thought pull me in so...

So, when you have a childhood of abuse and neglect, it is difficult to raise children. For one, the abuse and neglect is kind of like ingrained, so it is impulsive response to the kids behavior and needs. This can be stopped if recognized, but then what I have seen is the other end of the...

TO all the single mothers out there, I want to offer a thread for support. God knows I need it!

He speaks of his former relationship "Don't forget, I was a father"... He describes lightly the tasks of de-escalating, bathing, setting boundaries, and nurturing his former son with a major developmental disorder; as well as the boy's older siblings. The depth, though evasive, is not mistaken...

LIfe is temporary. The afterlife is eternal. So, why is it that life can so easily consume us? I used to push myself so hard. It was survival. I created goals and plans, methods to keep me looking forward and striving for a purpose. In the process, I ran from what my life had become as much...

My first born daughter turned 13 today. It was anti-climatic. A couple of days ago I had some free time (a rare occurrence) instead of chilling in a coffee shop to write as I had fantasized, I ran around looking for a gift to get her until the inspiration dawned, and I settled on 100 dollars...

As a Christian, I have experienced more than a polite amount of pressure to attend to my appearance by other other Christians. This always befuddles me. My first reaction is to feel shame and consider that the criticism comes from a caring individual; but it is sadly misplaced. I have struggled...
