How many times have I said I wish the world could stop for just a minute? Through hardships, heartbreaks, grieving times, and here we are at a full stop. I can still feel the inertia running through my body as it wants to keep going. I find my mind spinning instead of it resting in … Continue reading Forced Sabbath

The Thief, That is Your Friend
When my eyes are on myself, it is only me I see. If my eyes are on You, then it is with You I long to be.
Let’s Get Real
Our walk with the Lord is suppose to provide us with freedom. What does that freedom look like? It looks different than what we think. Let's work out our salvation with fear and trembling, and rest in God. Life is hard. The enemy tempts us. Bad things happen to good people. We will make mistakes. … Continue reading Let’s Get Real
What or Who Are You Reflecting?
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Refining “Matalie”
This has been the year of learning for me. At every turn it's something, like I am in a room with a bunch of light bulbs and every so often a new one turns on.

Fixing my Eyes on Christ
It all comes down to perspective, even in Jesus’ time, it was about perspective.

It led me to question my motives … Continue reading Fixing my Eyes on Christ
