Day 6 of Write 31 Days 2021
Jesus longs to make us, make me whole. He wants to heal us, just like the blind man who received sight. Jesus wants me to see and perceive things with His heavenly eyes and gain His perspective.

Celebrating 5 Years!
(and a Five Minute Friday Exercise)
Yes, you read that correctly! 5 years ago on this very day, I wrote my first blog!
I started this blog because of the gentle nudging from the Lord. A friend at a conference also shared a "word from the Lord" that there was "writing in my fingertips". Over the years, I have trusted Him with what He has given me. I feel that my . . .
Rescue
Five Minute Friday Challenge
//Back in November 2007, after several trips to the local humane society, my husband and daughters finally persuaded me to rescue a dog. Now mind you, I grew up with cats, never had a dog in my life.
