A Moment of Delight

The Dark Night of Burnout
Burnout is heavy. Restlessness, guilt and shame. Burnout is restless because there is a great need to keep going, doing, and reaching the expectation of someone, whether from self, others or God. Guilt is heavy on the shoulders. A sense of not good enough in the doing, and needing to do better. Shame is connected because burnout makes one want to hide, withdraw and not to be seen. Burnout like grief, is hard to understand, a rollercoaster of emotions. When...

For This I Was Born
(Previously Published on Mrs Words Blog) Have you even experienced a moment in time, as you are going about your business, when you hear a God-whisper telling you “This, my child.

You are… LOVED!
No matter what is going on in your life; no matter what you've done, who you are, what you believe about yourself, what your circumstances look like, you are LOVED with an agape love! A love that sees beyond boundaries, race, identity, circumstance. You are loved despite yourself and because of yourself.

You Are… JOYFUL!
It's that glorious hope that wells up inside you. It's that trust and belief that everything is not just going to alright, but it's going to be wonderful, extraordinary, radiant, delightful, blissful and exhilarating. It's the rejoicing that happens in your soul and spirit. It's the uplifting that encouragement brings. It's the intertwining of happiness and hope. The colliding of feelings and trust. It's a gift and a choice. It's being full of joy.

Home!
When I think of home, I think of somewhere that I love to be. A place that I can be completely myself, where I can have a bad hair day or a bad mood and not be judged; a place where I can feel comfortable dressed in my crappiest clothes or my finest gown, or nothing at all;

A New Year…
We don't need a reason to bless someone or say an encouraging word; we don't need a reason to keep party lights up and turn the music on so we can sing at the top of our lungs and dance the night away; we don't need an excuse to celebrate, to be joyful, to laugh with friends; we don't need a reason, let just do it!
