Red Roses without Thorns

More than 10 years ago, before my church, Bridgeway, became what it is today, it went through a painful break away from the main church it was affiliated with — at that time, known as Berkland church.  In this post, I’d like to cover what I’ve felt and went through as a result of this […]

It was a deep down hurt . . . one that wouldn’t go away.  It had been a tough week, a tough month, heck, a tough few months, and I was so exhausted, I couldn’t even figure out why. And then I remembered:  there was stuff going on in my family.  As I thought about […]

In the course of my travels here on earth, I’ve come across and befriended many introverts.  And, being able to relate to their struggles somewhat, I wanted to create this post to gently encourage these special personality types.  Introverts can be hard to get to know, but it’s worth the effort to get to know […]

I’m not a good enough mother.  I don’t spend enough time with my son.  I don’t bathe him enough.  Cooking involves reheating leftovers and a mish-mash of last minute stuff. I’m not a good enough Christian.  I don’t attend all the meetings I should.  I don’t give all the time that I should.  I don’t […]

I could not write.  I needed to write.  It was too much, it was all too much.  I did not know how to put it into words, but I also needed to process.  I felt the pain inside of me, waiting to be unraveled through words so I can make sense of it.  I felt […]

Dear Bridgeway, Happy 10th Anniversary!  On your 10th Anniversary, I’d like to share all the times with you that I’m thankful for. I’m thankful for these times: When we worshipped with other congregations. It was a taste of what heaven is like. People from every tribe and nation, coming together to worship the One True King.

After five years being out of the industry, a year and a half of no income, and an 18-month-old child, I was desperate.  I went through many fruitless interviews, and then, miraculously, God granted me a job as a technical writer.  I went to the interview, and my would-be manager interviewed me.  Then, the team […]

In my previous post, I talked about what ADHD is, and what it looks like.  In this post, I’d like to describe how ADHD affects the spouse.  An ADHD Spouse, is a partner of a person with ADHD. I have been an ADHD Spouse for about ten years.  Here’s what I learned: Being an ADHD […]

I have a loved one who has ADHD.  A lot of people, especially friends and family, do not really know what ADHD is, or the implications of it.  Even for myself, it’s taken a few years to understand it, and cope with it.  I’ve written this article to answer some common questions concerning ADHD. What […]

The lightening flashed brightly in the window.  A few moments, and a rumble of thunder.  Oh, Lord, we need rain. This dry and thirsty land.  A dry and thirsty people.  Soak up our sorrows, and hurriedness, our anger and resentment.  Our loneliness and pain.  We need rain. The pain we feel in between the quiet.
