On a recent bike ride, I stopped to capture this beautiful picture. Here, God reminded me that He is with me, that His presence surrounds me like the brightness of the morning sun. I am covered by His love and His peace surrounds me.

A hummingbird danced near my window, so quick, so delicate, yet full of boldness.
It felt like God was reminding me, that even the smallest ones carry light, beauty, and purpose. – denise marie

Un-rav-el: to free from complication or difficulty; to make plain or clear.
Father God,
I lay down what I can no longer carry, the masks, the striving, the silent weight. Help me to not fear the unraveling, but to trust that even now, You are near. Even in the undoing, You are making space for what is true. In Jesus name, amen.
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”. – John 8:36
The brush doesn’t judge,
it just moves,
gently, like grace.
I am not rushing the healing,
I am holding space
for the parts of me
still learning how to be present,
the art of simply being
and letting that be enough.

Thank You Lord for this sacred stillness, for the way creation speaks Your name. I breathe in Your love, and breathe out my praise. – denise marie

God doesn’t just heal the surface.
He reaches into the deep places,
the hidden hurts, the silent grief.
And like the depths of the ocean,
His love goes farther than I can see.

There is nothing like the backdrop of snowcapped mountains sitting boldly in front of the crisp morning sunrise while being graced by the elegance of wild horses.
The pure joy of being present and giving thanks…I am in awe of Gods beauty, my heart is forever grateful. – denise marie
As I stood there slightly shaking, nervously sharing my story, I glanced up occasionally making eye contact with an empathizing woman in the audience, her encouraging smile seemed to give me permission to courageously keep speaking my truth.
Breathing deeply then exhaling slowly;
the words flow like a raging river
from the depths of my soul,
secrets and shameful
encounters fleeting as they
no longer keep me bound,
I yell from the pit of my gut,
I am free.
