Spilled Coffee Cannot Be Against You

My morning and afternoon shattered like my mug filled with coffee.

Boom! Splatter! Crack! Whack to the spirit.

My morning started off in a chaotic cove that cracked and rushed with suffocating waves of “something going wrong after something going wrong”.

I have to admit…A stressful scream echoed my house. Then, I sat and cried because of my inability in the maniac moments to keep calm. I cried because I did not want to make my baby girl anxious who is still packaged and pink-bowed inside me. I cried because I wanted to keep my composure for my dog, Tucker. I cried because I had a moment of brokenness like my “Coffee and Jesus” cup.

I felt defeated by sickness and stained coffee walls. Then, my husband called me and he said, “I felt the need to pray over you, Tucker, and our baby girl.” He told me to put the phone on speaker so our daughter could hear his voice. Well, I cried again…crystal tears of liberation and clarity.

The Holy Spirit lighted on my husband. He then lighted upon me like the steam that hovered over the spilled coffee.

I thought of the Bible verse, “If God is for us, who can be against us?”

No one or nothing!

Frothy coffee that has blatantly frosted the wall and floor with stickiness can’t be against you.

A puddle of “sickness” from your dog cannot be against you.

If God is for you…chaotic moments cannot be against you. They will go behind you and you will make another cup of coffee with a calmness.

Look for the Blessing Red Birds, Cherry Blossoms, and Orchids of Beauty in Life

March has marched in with a vengeance of change. In the Trojan horse saddlebags hid a shrewd surprise, Coronavirus. The gray clouds of uncertainty pelted us with “riddle me this” rain. The Trojan horse then galloped over valleys of vividness. Alas, the vivid vex was prevalent over states and pastures. The virus staked our soil with transforming turmoil. Ah, but that riddle rain also brought with it growth of cherry blossoms. They grew tall and strong amidst wrestling weeds of “where’s the joy?” I was covered by those cheerful cherry blossom trees last weekend. My Birthday was March 16th. I must admit, I felt as if one of my unwanted presents was the looming virus. I sensed a thick foreign fog. But, my husband, my Superman, saved my “Birthday”. He pulled me from the dense fog and flew me around our “Metropolis”. We shopped, reminisced, ate cheesecake, and laughed with merriment. It’s as if he set me upon a marriage merry-go-round. Round-and-round we go, on love embellishe...

Everyone goes through trials and tribulations, even unbelievers. The Bible says, “He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” Matthew 5:45. I’ve been through the ‘loss trial’. I lost my dad over 8 years ago and that feeling of hurt broke my ‘feeling bones’ and broke my heart. My heart is wounded and my soul is scarred. The journey of grief made me a stronger woman in the Lord. It was a long, tiresome path to regularity and a different happiness. My dad was the rock of our family, but we have to remember God is our true rock. He is our deliverer from pain and suffering. Dads on this vapor-like earth are for a moment in time. We have to remember God is our heavenly, everlasting Father. I have also felt the ‘abandonment tribulation’. No, my mom and dad didn’t leave me on a cold doorstep, but many people on t...

Don’t let others Negotiate your Marriage

My husband and I have been married for two blissful years. Within our years of matrimony, we are learning that outside sources can belittle your bliss. Those sources can also tense your bond, and cause your marriage braid to fray. Do NOT let that happen! Put up blockades and set boundaries to stop traffic of tension within your romantic realm. Outside sources that negotiate your marriage: Immediate family that negotiates the peace treaty within your marriage and causes chaos. Friends that cling to you or your spouse, negotiating unwanted attention. Activities or groups that negotiate the quality time spent with your spouse. Sinful acts that splutter red ink upon the sanctity of the marriage contract. Foreign frivolities can dampen the treaty of your marriage that you have negotiated with your husband or wife. Outside sources can wet the paper and tear at your hearts causing arguments. Do NOT let that happen! Distance yourself from family (but...
