TLF Syndrome Jacking Up My Life Again. Are you a victim too?

It used to be so huge to her. It use to fill the room and consume her thoughts. But now it was almost gone. She could barely see it and definitely could not touch it. How could something that big shrink so small? Was it sick? Was it dying? Who had broken it? Could it [...]

Grown Up Dreams = Growing Pains

I used to imagine myself rounding the track, handing the baton off to Flo Jo (Florence Griffith-Joyner) herself and catching my breathe while she ran the last leg of the 4 by 400 in the Olympics. In my memory I couldn’t hear the sound of the crowd over my own excitement of just being on [...]

Club FAITH: Work It Out Ya’ll

FAITH (heart condition)

CLUB FITNESS (that’s my gym) We pay all this money to join these health clubs. We make these plans to work our way into a bikini (or whatever you’re trying to wear with your Christian-self) and oftentimes after the excitement of the first month our commitment to the “almighty” gym begins to fade. So we [...]

The Most Commonly Used Solution to the Issues We Don’t Want To Face

FAITH (heart condition)

I’ve been reading The TOTAL MONEY MAKEOVER, a Proven Plan for Financial Fitness by Dave Ramsey. He talks about ignorance and it strikes a nerve with me. Ramsey says “ignorance is not a lack of intelligence; it is a lack of know-how.” In other words, if I am ignorant about something, then I simply don’t [...]

When Moments of Faith Turn Into Moments Of Fear

FAITH (heart condition)

You used to be so strong, so focused, so sure. Remember that, remember when you were fearless and unafraid of your future and your dreams, no matter how big they were. It was before: 1). It was before your heart was broken more than you could handle. 2). It was before you came up with [...]

A life of faith, a life of focus

FAITH (heart condition)

What makes us different from anyone else? If you are in a room full of doctors and you are a doctor too, then what makes you different? If you are in a room full of engineers and you are an engineer too, then what makes you different? If you are in a room full of [...]

Cycle of Faith: For Those Times When You Think You Should Be OK But You’re Not

FAITH (heart condition)

There seems to be this cycle that circles my life. I learn to trust God for one dream, and then it’s time to trust Him for another. Yes, it’s a cycle of faith. Like the time I wanted to go to Europe, and I was so broke. Long story short God made it happened, just [...]

On the Move . . . for those of us with a dream, the world is still waiting, so don’t you give up!

FAITH (heart condition)

It has been awhile. A full Christmas, an exciting New Year, and a world-wind of work brings us to the door of March, already. Unless it is a lazy summer with enough humidity to stop time, everything seems to move so fast. Of course we can always use our super power called “free will” and [...]

3 Easily Ignored but Really Important Reasons the Holidays Are So Hard (For Some of Us)

FAITH (heart condition)

The dinners have been cooked. I personally rocked that sweet potato pie and received some praise from the hardest critic in the family. I enjoyed my Thanksgiving this year but the laughter is coming to a quiet fade and the family is preparing to jump back into our pre-Thanksgiving schedule and stresses. But . . [...]
