What We're About

Here is where we can talk about the harder things: Change. Transformation. Seeking for Answers. Looking into psychotherapies and into various other theories of behavior and trying to find that "it" that fulfills us.


This is NOT a counseling page. I am not a licensed professional counselor. Anything I say, write or share is not to be taken as "my therapist says"...it is not law nor is it rule. Mostly, I'll want to share the things I learn here with you. Some of these things will simply be links to other blogs or sites, sometimes I'll post resources available via Amazon. I am an Amazon affiliate, so those links will, hopefully, come from there. If you are not comfortable with me earning a percentage off your potential purchases, feel free to look up the information on Amazon's main page.


Sometimes I'll ask guests bloggers to post, at other times I'll share my ramblings. At all times, feel free to share your struggles, triumphs, thoughts and life with us. Do keep in mind that this is the internet and is an open blog - there is no confidentiality here.


Here it is our intent to:


"Relieve the necessities of God's people; always practise hospitality" (Romans 12:13) and to remind you that Christ promised a Counselor, the Holy Spirit. We are not your Holy Spirit, neither do we intend to take the place of your conscience or own will.


So, ask away. Give me a problem, a scenario to research, ask questions to get us all thinking, or ask questions about theories, therapies and counseling techniques. Let's expand our intellects and share "wisdom through the ages".



Blessings as we embark on this journey together ~

A Senseless Tragedy or a Hope-filled Death?


The tragedy in CT strikes deeper than most as I realize that the children were LB's age. They will never again run & play, make up silly stories, have adventures or explore their "brand new world". They will never create clubs, have secret handshakes, throw impromptu dances.
My heart is torn as I want to take this day with my children but knowing that I have that one last paper before I have an entire week with just them & no other distractions...Will God have mercy on my soul?
 They both know what happened this morning. LB is disbelieving that something like this could happen but was willing to let me hug on her for 5 minutes. CoM stayed in my arms as I browsed the news & read some of the FB updates. They are watching a movie right now, in the relative safety of our home, and I bless God and praise Him that my ex hasn't put up much of a fight about our homeschooling. Even still, bad things happen, evil exists, and we could lose our children in the blink of an eye. The hardest thing is entrusting them to God's loving care. Trusting Him to actually put a shield of protection around them, covering them with His wings.
We have such a skewed sense of Who God is - told that He is loving, & just, merciful, & compassionate, a judge, & quick to judge, harsh, doling out death penalties...He gives and He takes away. Why such senseless tragedy? What does He have for us in the hours, days, weeks and months to come?

Please join with me in lifting these families up in prayer - they may not know their need for a Savior and they may not believe in Eternal Life - we pray comfort for their souls and peace for their empty arms.
