“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well” Psalm 139:14
Have you ever considered what it is that makes you who you are from the inside out? Have you ever sat and meditated on all of the intricacies that have come together to make you the person that you’ve become thus far? Continue reading

We cannot always know what lies ahead of us. Sometimes it feels as though we can barely wade through the murky waters that seem to flood out anything good in our lives. The dimness that has captured our focus surrounds us and threatens to pull us down. When even a glimmer of hope comes along, we tend to grasp it so tightly, as if our lives depend upon it. What is it? Where does the strength to rise up out of any grave situation with a vibrancy that can conquer the darkest night come from? Continue reading

Sometimes when we face difficult circumstances, it is hard to see the proverbial “light at the end of the tunnel”. In fact, it may seem as though that tunnel gets deeper and darker. It is only when we come out of those times that we realize the light was there all of the time…we just could not see it.
I’ve had my fair share of dark times, when I would not let my own light shine. When I’ve only allowed it to flicker and cast long shadows over my days. When my moods have created dark clouds that threatened to rain droplets of disappointment, fear and negativity over anyone I’d come into contact with. It is during those time that I realize how dismal things can become, and I long the most for the brightness of happier times. Continue reading

Love and friendship, can you have one without the other? I believe that both are essential for any relationship to be true, to be real. Love is the glue that holds a friendship together; without it, the relationship simply falls apart.
How much do I love you?
Let me count the ways…
Cliche, cliche, cliche!
I don’t know what to say.
I don’t know how to feel. Continue reading

This poem was written by my niece and Goddaughter, Alexia, as a Christmas present to my husband and me several years ago. I was very touched by it, because I know that it revealed so much of her heart. Thank you Alexia, for being the precious niece that you are to me.
A poem by Alexia D. Ghering
Each time I walked with eyes cast down
and felt too weak to reach God in prayer,
it was then, he came down to me,
As he watched my footsteps falter.
Within my heart, he poured out his grace,
and gave me strength to walk on farther; Continue reading

I think that some of the most amazing abilities of the body are the five human senses: to see, to smell, to hear, to taste and to feel. Even when one or more of these senses are absent from the body, the others step in and make a way for an individual to experience his or her surroundings in a powerful way. When the eyes cannot see, fingers become lenses, filled with vivid imagery. When the ears cannot hear, the eyes and the nose speak clearly through the silence. It really is fascinating how the senses enhance how we experience life. Continue reading

I begin most days with prayer and meditation during my morning workouts. The places my mind travels to while running those miles on the treadmill, set the framework for how I deal with whatever challenges I may face. Recently, the verse from scripture below spoke to me and everything that it inspired within me, is what I’ve written in this poem. May your day be filled with the things that inspire you as well.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for The Lord God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6) Continue reading

A dear friend of mine once asked me what I thought about God, as related to His creation…
In my opinion, the human body is the most incredible of all created things…for it was created in God’s image. In His image; what an awesome thing to ponder. We cannot comprehend it, yet, we are wonderfully made. Continue reading
