Into Faith I Go…

Posted by elizamakaira in Encouragement, Faith, God, Hope, Perseverance

I love how God sends me songs just when I need them, confirming all He is teaching, saying ‘Well done, you are listening!’  It has been a while since I have heard from God in this way and I have missed it, began to crave it.   This song “Into Faith I Go”, by Pat Barrett,…Read more »

Too Late, Too Damaged…

Posted by elizamakaira in Encouragement, Faith, Following, God, Healing, Hope, Inspiration, love

The Pieces of my Heart

Posted by elizamakaira in Encouragement, Faith, Father's love, God, Healing, Hope, love, Perseverance

I know He promises beauty for ashes, but the pain and shame coming forth, or just below the surface as I walk through my day is overwhelming. So much of what I am processing are old wounds and abuse from my past.  I thought I had addressed these issues, but I have come to understand,…Read more »

Posted by elizamakaira in Encouragement, Faith, God, Hope

I love this word for my life today!  God asks us not to dwell on the past, but focus on His promises.  He makes ALL things new!  What was once a barren wasteland, He causes life giving springs and streams within our hearts and minds to flow.  I live in the Southwest desert and see…Read more »

Closure…

Posted by elizamakaira in Closure, Encouragement, Faith, Prayer

Have you ever had a conversation with someone not knowing it was the last time you would speak?  I’m not talking about a situation in which a death occurs, which is truly tragic and can cause pain and regret for years.  But a circumstance which makes it impossible to right a wrong, say those things…Read more »
