When All is Silent

There have been many stages and times in my life
I have felt silence.
 
Not that there wasn't craziness or noise around me,
 
but the voice of peace, love and grace seemed to be silent.
I know.....
 
I have the answers.....
 
I know the verses.....
 
I can even tell others....
 
but I wasn't feeling what I was teaching........
 
 
 
And then.....
I began to see God's fingerprints.....
 
His message to me......
 
the Creator of World was speaking
and reminding me that He
keeps His Promises.
 
The silence was my hurt...
He spoke, but I was not hearing.
 
But I was not, am not, and will not ever be alone.
 
I need to trust what I know
not what I feel.
 
Love,
Catrina

The Winds are Changing

 
The Winds are Changing
 
It has been so long since I have been on this BlogSpot.
 
So long, it took me forever to just figure out how to get on.
 
But now that I am here, I have a burning desire to share with you on a deeper level than before.
 
I began this blog to share with others, my heart, my hurts, and some of life's fun things.
 
I also began to introduce my family to you.
 
And, we even crafted together.
 
Even though it was fun, and I enjoyed every post I wrote;
 
I feel God is directing me to go deeper, and share deeper.
 
To go beyond my safe zone, and become transparent.
 
So.......
 
Recently, I felt like my life went into a whirlwind.
 
This whirlwind created in me
 
emotions, fears and uncertainties that I did not like. 
 
Yet! I know I am not the only one hurting,
 
the only one confused,
 
and the only one facing moments of brokenness.
 
There are those out there just like me.
 

 
It is for us, I want to share.
 
Because.....
 
 it was through this brokenness,
 
I  found strength,  newfound wisdom
 
and I grew deeper in my faith.
 
This is what I want to share with you,
 
this is what I want us to share together.
 
 
Love,
Catrina
