  • Did you know it is actually a sin to overthink? As I grow in the Word, I’m finding out that once we give a situation to God, the only way to exercise trust in His answer is to stop worrying. The Bible even tells us not to be anxious or worry. It is a command.…

  • This week has been a vacation week for me, and I have enjoyed staying in. I started Christmas shopping, cleaned the house (a couple of times), spent some time with family, played with the puppy, and took a few naps. I got some good reading done and watched a few movies I’d wanted to see.…

  • Not all the time, but most of the time, the little goals we achieve – the ones that remind us that we’re human but still making it – matter more than crossing off the bigger goals. It may be that we’ve all learned not to reach for the moon because life kicks us in the…

  • Good morning to my Raspberries. It has been a week. I think my days and nights are mixed up, and I find myself staying up later and later, and then sleeping halfway into the day. It will sort itself out, but for now, I’m enjoying the relaxation that comes with working from home and having…

  • Good morning. Well, I suppose it will be afternoon by the time I finish. I stay at home most of the time. I don’t go out. There are times when I stay home because I want to and other times because I don’t have the energy or motivation to even begin to put in the…

  • My second therapy appointment was this week. I go every Tuesday at 8:00. My therapist’s name is Christy. Having lately been convicted of my mouth, I am doing my level best to do what I feel like I’m being called to do, which is hush. I do not know if it is because I do…

  • Good morning, Raspberries. I wanted to talk to you a little bit about something that has been on my heart. I went to a new therapist yesterday, my first appointment. I’ll admit it was a little odd. I have been in therapy off and on for about 25 years. I’m not sure if I should…
