Forty Plus Miles

         Another day, busy again, writing again; still I write. From tree to tree, leaping fearlessly, and I remember you. Brave squirrel spanning distance with ease, and I'm considering you and how your very real bravery from the fictitious will inspire me as I leap the tree limbs of life.

       Sometimes it's okay to share struggles, and this can inspire others when we do. Below is a complication of some works I've written lately that I'm sharing to inspire someone that it's okay to struggle, and EVEN HERE Jesus works and redeems (displayed in "Of Calm Within").  With Each (Non-Fiction)     Hope, one line at a time, when time is on the line; hope, with each word written.  Of Calm Within (Nonfiction)         In the quiet I am found, moving, speaking. In the silent in between I work, watch as I act, wait when necessary for the most good, for the most grace done.          In the still I am there, not one of inactivity, or of lack of progress, but of calm within; regardless of chaos that swirls around you.         I am rest, hope, and salvation even in the darkest of valleys. You are here, and I am grateful Jesus, here working; thank You. Carefully (6-Word Non-Fiction)...

       Light pours suddenly in, splits the darkness surrounding, and gives the promise of hope. Light wakes each life met, speaks a greater way, comes with hope in His wake. Jesus, You are the Light, and I'm glad You're here.

         The turtle tries, making much. The turtle takes time, looks long, thinks thoughtfully through time, through trials. He hopes, walks whether worn, remembers resilence redeems, finds faith for fruitfulness, amasses abundance amid all.  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also.

        Below are some recent writings I wrote as encouragement for me, as well as just a lot of experimentation to create SOMETHING....EVEN when you're practicing. I ALMOST didn't share it; but thought maybe it would encourage someone else also to create something constructive and good if I did. Write Again (Nonfiction) One word one over-tired, sleepy morning; still, I'll write try. I'll write again, even in the exhaustion. Go (6-word Nonfiction)  Go. Give grace. Give good. Go. Dare During (6-Word Nonfiction)  Dare during daunting defeat; dare, determined. Continuing (6-Word (Nonfiction) Defy differently; continuing calm, remaining resolute. Heals (Non-Fiction I Wrote) Hope. Hope. When it's heavy. When it's hard to. Hope. Hope heals.  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someon...

          I wrote something the other day in the genre of nonfiction, and if I'm being fully transparent I am struggling with whether I should share it or not. Not because I don't want to, or that it's something really controversial, but I do not want to be a hypocrite if it's something that I may be saying, but struggling to believe or live out. Maybe that's the point though: stepping into a belief and applying it, even when that belief doesn't come easy, or is only a little (whether that's a tangible act or not). So with that said, I'm posting here what I wrote the other day down below. Maybe it will be an encouragement to someone, to not wait until things are perfect to have faith in Jesus, and in turn in good. But simply to believe even when that belief doesn't come easy; maybe that's the point.  In The Going (Nonfiction)          Grace in the going. Rest in the running. Hope helping hurried hours; here I reflect. Praying, writi...
