Can I Have This Dance?

January 16, 2019June 6, 2019 ~ Calista ~ 1 Comment

Digging deep into the crevices of my bag, I prayed to find any morsel with which to appease the hunger pangs of my over-stimulated, worn out toddler. The museum was crowded. The day was long. My time was up and the bag supplied nothing. Not even a half-eaten granola bar or a couple sticky fruit … Continue reading Can I Have This Dance?

Take Off Your Shoes

February 8, 2017 ~ Calista ~ 2 Comments

My world was closing in and I felt suffocated. My soul was landlocked, hemmed in, and I desperately needed to stretch and breathe. I had looked forward to my vacation at the beach for weeks. Grabbing my camera, I headed out the door of the condo. The sun warmed my shoulders, though there was a … Continue reading Take Off Your Shoes

On the Other Side of Pain

July 21, 2016 ~ Calista ~ 2 Comments

Wave after wave of excruciating labor coursed through her body. When the insides of a woman begin to cramp and push, there is an intensity and purpose which will not be hindered. Lack of control over what is happening in her can lead to despair. From the depths of her being my daughter summoned the … Continue reading On the Other Side of Pain

Make Mine Almond with Honey, Cream, and a Side of Quiet

July 12, 2016 ~ Calista ~ 6 Comments

Have you ever wanted to run away? Not permanently – just for a couple hours or days … okay, let’s be honest … a couple months. When the kids were little and the house was boisterous I had a recurring fantasy. I would go someplace pretty and quiet. The quaint cottage where I would stay … Continue reading Make Mine Almond with Honey, Cream, and a Side of Quiet

How to Decide When You Can’t Decide

June 5, 2016 ~ Calista ~ Leave a comment

Remember taking multiple choice tests? They were a favorite of mine because even if I didn’t know the answer, there was a 25% chance I’d get it right anyway. If the teacher threw in a silly option the odds increased greatly by process of elimination. Decision making can be similar to the multiple choice test. … Continue reading How to Decide When You Can’t Decide

Soul Whisperer

November 3, 2015 ~ Calista ~ 4 Comments

Have you ever wanted to run away? Yeah, me, too. There can be days and times when running seems the only viable solution. But, I have found that when I most feel like running is when I most need to stand. The kids are crazy. The house is a disaster. The marriage is broken. The job … Continue reading Soul Whisperer

Why is God Hiding?

September 15, 2015 ~ Calista ~ 4 Comments

Remember playing hide and seek as a kid? My family used to play hide and seek on my grandparent’s farm after dark. The person who was “It” counted and everyone else scattered. Light from the house windows and moon eclipsed by trees and bushes cast shadowy dens across the property. It was hide and seek … Continue reading Why is God Hiding?

When Someone’s Life is on Hold

August 19, 2015 ~ Calista ~ 5 Comments

The following is an entry straight from the pages of my journal scrawled during one of the dark times. My heart is pounding at the thought of clicking "Publish." It's raw. A peek into the pit. This is what it looks like when your life is on hold and it's not a pretty picture, but … Continue reading When Someone’s Life is on Hold

Victory Song for the Hard Day

August 17, 2015 ~ Calista ~ Leave a comment

Fair warning ... this post is a mini-Bible study. 🙂 You know that moment when you read a familiar passage of scripture and a verse leaps off the page and smacks you in the face? Look at me now! Psalm 46 starts with the verses familiar to many of us because it was set to music. … Continue reading Victory Song for the Hard Day

Permission to be at Ease

August 13, 2015 ~ Calista ~ 10 Comments

Here I sit today. Post war. Post depression. A large portion of the debris left on the battleground of our marriage has been cleared away. Major excavation has taken place. Positive experiences are replacing the negative ones of the past. Happy memories are beginning to crowd out the old memories full of hurt and regret. … Continue reading Permission to be at Ease
