A Stronger Me In My Own Existence

  • Throwing Out the Debris

    Social media – whether it be Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Parler, has a way of drawing me in so that my time is sucked away and my mind starts to look like the inside of my vacuum bag – full of the debris of my world – ominous and darkly… Read ⇢

  • Monday Mania

    24 This is the very day of the Lord that brings gladness and joy, filling our hearts with glee. Psalm 118:24 Passion Translation Today was one of those hectic Mondays where I went totally off schedule – all because I decided to stay in bed for one extra hour. That snowballed… Read ⇢

  • It’s Starting to Feel Like Christmas

    Many homes in my area have already decorated for the holidays. It’s so nice to see the outside adorn with pine garlands, Christmas wreaths, and lights. After being pestered by our children to decorate for Christmas, my husband finally took out our artificial tree and several boxes of decorations. As… Read ⇢

  • A Coffee A Day

    24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25 ESV I woke up this morning at 5:30 am thinking it’s… Read ⇢

  • My Story

    How many are your works, Lord!    In wisdom you made them all;    the earth is full of your creatures. Psalm 104:24 NIV I have always painted, sketched and took photographs, but I hated the gallery process of submitting my work, and every rejection was a blow to my ego. I have often incorporated narrative… Read ⇢

  • Praising God

    Almighty God, I lift up my hands praise! I’m embarrassed to show my watercolours, as they are often quick ink sketches. They are like journal entries, expressing of my thoughts about Jesus and my relationship with Him. They are also about finding hope in Christ in our lost humanity. His… Read ⇢

  • The Parable of the Talents

    This week the “The Parable of the Talents” surfaced a number of times for me. It was discussed in a book I was reading, upon which I looked it up in the Bible (Matthew 25:14-30). It was also the Gospel reading in both yesterday’s and today’s Mass. Three times the… Read ⇢

  • I Believe in God’s Promise

    35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”37 No, in all these… Read ⇢

Meet the Author.

This blog began as a way to record my spiritual journey for my children, whom my husband and I were blessed to adopt later in life. What started as a personal reflection has grown into a space where I share insights on faith, truth, parenting, and the quiet work of forming the soul. My hope is to encourage others seeking God’s light in an often noisy world.
