Addi's Journey

Let Him fill that Lonely Place One of the greatest problems that people face in today’s society is loneliness.  I think everyone at one time, or another have experienced loneliness in their lives.  The single person, the person who moved to a new city, the person who has suffered a great loss, the person who has went through a divorce, the person who feels misunderstood, the person who can’t make friends and the list goes on and on.  Feeling isolated, empty, different, grief…

BE THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS How can we be a light in a dark world?   In the bible, Jesus taught His followers how to treat people.  John 15:12  “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” So that means he has commanded us to love everyone!  When you disagree with someones view, your nature is to show animosity toward them.  When someone hurts you, your human nature wants to hurt them in return.  When someone doesn’t like you, your…

TIME DOES NOT HEAL A BROKEN HEART On this day 6 years ago my baby sister passed away and went to be with the Lord.  The hardest day of my life and one that I felt I would never recover from.  I heard more than once, “Just give it time Leanne…time will heal your broken heart and it will get better.”  Heartbreak, grief and the pain does not come and go in an orderly, confined timeframe….sorry.  Do you really think time can heal something…
