hurtful words and actions cause tears in the heart

hurtful words and actions cause tears in the heart

July 27, 2020 //  by Mindy Kaleta//  Leave a Comment

  In several conversations with others recently, I was catapulted back to a time when I was struggling unsuccessfully with what we call “having the need to please”. This debilitating trait, as you may know, comes with a wide open door for any manipulator to easily draw one “the pleaser” in like a magnet. While …

  “Our world is in chaos and life is uncertain.” I didn’t really know how to express my feelings about some very disturbing news headlines this week. My emotions were all over the place.  Anger, disgust, sadness…and more emotions I couldn’t identify…all wrapped up in one.   It brought back memories of the 60’s when …

May 6, 2020 //  by Mindy Kaleta//  Leave a Comment

  Mud puddles remind me of my childhood days lovingly caring for my tadpoles placed in a large mason jar. I was so proud of them and eager to see them get their legs. I watched spellbound as they began to transform into frogs. Soon they realized that if they could jump high enough, they …

Simple Faith and Trust

I don't know about you, but when God strips away things I think I have control over, more times than not He places me in a season of isolation. He does this to create a place of solitude where I can easily hear His voice without the distractions of others and the things of life. If you're in a season like this, settle in, enjoy and He will guide you into simple faith, trust and a right relationship with Him and His will for you.
