Read a Bit {The Promises of God Storybook Bible}
How about a new series of posts? It’s not a new theme or some totally different jaunt than I’ve ever taken here at A Delightful Glow. Nothing life-changing.

Press. Hold. Spray.
I stare into the mirror and I press the nozzle on the hairspray and I spray making circles all around the front and back to hold my flyaway hair in place. I pause. Then, I press it again and repeat the hairspray path. I think I’m not just spraying my hair in place. Deep down, […]

Jesus King My Everything
My heart it aches, my head is bowed Clenched fists so tight, Do I know how? To open up these palms, relax? Come to Him and simply ask? For sweet relief from striving to, Do it all and do, do, do, And pause instead, remembering, He bore the nails so long ago, And died a […]

An Excerpt From The Reminder of A God Who Sees Me
I cried over a kitten this morning. It felt dumb and ridiculous. It felt compassionate too, yet the critic in my head condemned me for crying over a kitten when I so often fail in my desire to have a deeper compassion for other people. It felt small and silly, for I could easily count […]
Hope and a Humble Pink Pumpkin
I’d never gifted anyone with a pumpkin before. It seemed sort of strange really, but once the idea presented itself, I was irrationally struck by it. I’d gifted pots of flowers in the spring or chosen a hanging basket as a Mother’s Day present. I’d delivered floral arrangements and arranged bouquets myself to brighten someone’s […]
