There is a lesson I am learning this year. I told God before he New year, I was going to be more honest than ever before in all ways. What that means is I lay more of the ugly down and pray whether I want to or not. Second, I also acknowledge inside when something … Continue reading Don’t Pretend With God

Only The Winds-Lesson of Letting Go
I watched a favorite video of mine that is very deep, and it is a mesmerizing video about a boy that plays with a sheet, it flies away, he chases after it, he ends up being tied up, gives up, lies back and suddenly breaks free from the strings. Shards of glass or paper, fly … Continue reading Only The Winds-Lesson of Letting Go
Christian: Stop Trying So Hard, do this instead!
I am a big fan of Author Bonnie Gray, of: Finding Spiritual Whitespace, and thanks to her work I have learned that God is not far at all. She teaches us to enjoy everyday moments and invite God into them. From what I see and hear from most Christians is to try to be perfect, … Continue reading Christian: Stop Trying So Hard, do this instead!
What Is At The End Of The Rope?
For months now I have sacrificed my time getting upset over something I cannot control. I would wake up every day and worry about it, and became obsessed with it. It was deeply upsetting. As a Christian, I am to look to God everyday, and I did, but he cannot connect easily with us if … Continue reading What Is At The End Of The Rope?
Fitness and an Unexpected Emotional Benefit
I have been working out hard since before Christmas, and have been on a stationary bike, slowly upping my time. On alternate days, I try some strength training, ballet, and walk some. The bike, however has helped me emotionally in ways I never thought possible. I prayed to God before I began this exercise journey … Continue reading Fitness and an Unexpected Emotional Benefit
The Good, Bad and Ugly of the Carnivore Diet

People have reversed their insulin resistance with this method and it has also helped migraines and other disorders. In June of 2019, I did it and here is what happened: I read up on it by going to Kevin Stock's … Continue reading The Good, Bad and Ugly of the Carnivore Diet
What Works for Migraines(Seriously)
I have been a migraine sufferer for many years. It took the past two years to finally work on it, and figure out what I could do. For those reading this, keep in mind it is individual, and what might work for me, might not work for you. In late 2018, I found a Facebook … Continue reading What Works for Migraines(Seriously)
We Forget How Good Exercise Makes Us Feel
Over a period of four months, my weight went up. In the Summer, I lied around, eating Cool Ranch Doritos, and eating Starlight Mints. I got hooked on cream sodas also. I did not think anything about it until I finally weighed myself a few weeks before Christmas. My weight has never been higher in … Continue reading We Forget How Good Exercise Makes Us Feel
The God who gave birds
I am sitting tonight, a few days before Christmas, thinking about the good in this year. I came up with a good one-the birds. When I worked and lived at the man's house I took care of, birds were outside the window. The second I saw my room, and noticed wide open curtains to a … Continue reading The God who gave birds
Noticing Everything and Loving It
I have been fascinated with Nature and sunlight more with each passing day. I used to long for an escape somewhere at a park, and felt like I could not enjoy nature unless I was somewhere special. It took my Father's death for me to start noticing more. Sounds strange, but he was so domineering … Continue reading Noticing Everything and Loving It
