I was recently asked a question and struggled with the answer. That seemed like a perfect journal prompt. This week I wonder I challenge you to “Describe yourself in 15 words or less” I started by looking at an identity statement I made years ago. “I am a citizen of heaven (Heb 13:14), straining toward…
When things start to overwhelm me I fear everything I am doing is wrong. It’s time to take a step back and remind myself of that is going right. That is where this week’s Journal Prompts leads. What is going right in your life at this time?
I did it again. I dropped the ball on something I was working on. I usually am on top of things. But this one slipped through the cracks. I immediately started the personal rant “I should not have this job” “I can’t do anything right” “I always screw things up”. Well, that isn’t exactly true.…
Are you participating in the weekly journal prompts? I hope you are finding hope and dreams within yourself through the questions. This week I have spoken with several women this week who wanted to do something, but just couldn’t take that step. I have battled that myself lately. I asked each of them, and I…
I recently met an online friend for coffee. During our discussion, she asked about a time when I had excelled at something; a time when I had stepped out of my comfort zone. I told her about a knit and crochet bible study I created. I explained how it came about, then how I asked…

Earlier this year I prompted the question ‘What would be the theme song of your life?’ For myself I had trouble coming up with one. I think I decided – at least for now – the song would be theme to the Mary Tyler Moore show. I love the words ‘you are going to make…
I stood in front of the mirror looking at me in a swimsuit. It was to be our first outing to the pool. As I stared at my reflection those negative voices started in. “You look like a beached whale” “People are going to laugh at you” “Are you really going out in public like…
