About Me

My photo
Anacortes, Washington, United States
This is my testimony - my testimony of faith and lack thereof; of the rising and falling of hopes and dreams; of beliefs and disbelief's; of tremendous heartache and human folly; of reaching out and stepping out when all I want at times is to is pull back and step away. At the age of 30 I was diagnosed with a very rare neurological condition called Post-traumatic Syringomyelia (PTS). Please visit my post on PTS. One of my goals is to increase awareness of this terminal condition. Broken to Grace is not yet released. Follow this blog to receive an email when the final release date is announced. God bless, Ronda

God's Whisper of Wisdom

The next time you find yourself confused, stop thinking and remind your heart that God is not a God of confusion - that's Satan's job. Stop thinking and listen to the voice that lives in your heart - God's whisper of wisdom will wash away your confusion and shine an unmistakable light upon the truth that was always there.

Fear is not an option worthy of acknowledgement ~ Give way to love instead..


"Love is an unspoken but booming voice; it is a whisper that is ever so clear; it is a never ending yet single moment, and it is a tear that is always wiped dry. 

Love, like joy, is an inner smile no matter your external surroundings or momentary circumstance. It is peaceful and gentle, bestowing grace and forgiveness even when it rages with the passion of the grandest waterfall. 


Love is the highest power in this world as it is your greatest gift from God. Do not fain love, do not turn from it, do not abuse it, do not fear it - and exercise it only for the power it was intended to harvest."~Ronda Rae Franklin

The Constant of Truth

The truth that once wasn't, but now is, really always was.

When you recognize something as truth, but time alters it in your eyes, that doesn't remove truth. Time does not change truth, but serves to move us into a different place. And in different places things appear and feel changed, but truth remains unmoved.
 



Look for the one who shines true light, for His truth is always constant.

But remember first, amidst all your searching, who made your yearning heart.

Neither the passing of time nor the passing of places can either make the heart grow fonder or make the heart wander. 

The heart knows what it wants and needs from the moment it is awoken. And nothing on this earth can put death to that which it desires, requires, and aspires to embrace.

Let your heart yearn for what it desires, for out of yearning you learn to attain that which you desire. Let your
 heart mourn for what it needs, through mourning we learn to seek what we need until the mourning turns to joy. And for what your heart beholds and contains allow yourself to rejoice and savor, for to behold and contain the desires, requirements and aspirations of your heart is a gift like no other.

But remember first, amidst all your searching, who made your yearning heart - and bitterness shall certainly never find a home with you through all your trials. – Ronda Rae Franklin
