It’s Friday and this week’s Five Minute Friday one-word-prompt is Inspire. Feel free to link up over at www.fiveminutefriday.com! We would love to have you join our writing community. Or read others’ reflections on Inspire! START I have been feeling less than inspired lately. This comes from a month of stress, sadness, disappointments, and, well, […]
Experiencing the God of All Comfort
This week’s Five Minute Friday prompt is the word “comfort.” My thoughts are still turning, so let’s see what happens, shall we? Can I get it all in within 5 minutes (and make it make sense without edits)? Probably not, but I’ll try anyway. Ready? GO 2 Corinthians 1 is a passage I can’t quite […]
What am I worth?
Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? -Matthew 6:26 This week our family is stepping out into new territory. A huge project is underway. And I’m nervous. No, if I let myself […]
Visitors
I’m going to write this, but I might delete it… Sometimes a girl just needs permission. ? That is the comment I wrote to myself before plunging into this post for Five Minute Friday. Because writing takes courage. And if you are a writer I want to encourage you to write even if you’re a […]
The Truth of Who I Am :: Shame vs Love {...
It’s Friday and time for Five Minute Friday again. Kate Motaung has prompted us with the word “Truth.” I could go so many ways with this, but right now there is only one I want to talk about. The Truth of who I am. I’ve written briefly on shame for the past week or so. […]

This week’s prompt from Kate: Sing. We are entering yet another new season as a family. A season I have feared, frankly. I have […]

When the Breath Won’t Come
It’s Friday and I’m happy to be once again joining the Five Minute Friday community in writing for 5 minutes on the weekly word prompt. This week’s word: Breathe. It is one of those moments. Tragedy threatens to strike, but seems to linger. There is nothing that I can do, nothing to be done, except […]
My Prayer for President Trump
I haven’t participated in Five Minute Friday with Kate Motaung in ages. I needed to do some decluttering in my life – not only of my things, but of my thoughts, my wishes, my dreams. It is easy for me to get caught up in all of my big ideas and have too many that […]
What I Want Most for Myself
It’s Friday again. This week’s Five Minute Friday prompt from Kate Motaung is WANT. Here are five minutes of free writing on a raw topic for me, today. I hope it resonates. *** It has come to my attention that I am mean to myself. The running monologue in my head towards me is negative, […]
