Walk In Love

 When is doubt walk in love
 it will bring joy
 and take away the pain
 of the world
 Friendship cures most

Snow and Grace

 Freezing outside with a light dusting of snow
causing one to wish for a blanket of

 snow to
make things seem cleaner somehow
but,
our snow dances freely today,
just like we can dance
because of grace we don't need a blanket

I've Been Away

 I am going to introduce myself again. I haven't been blogging in a while.
 I'm Christy Schrage. I am a married mom of 3. I love Jesus! I love to write, paint and help others. I feel we should give of ourselves to people in need, I will try to do this with my writing. It is my goal to remain real and transparent with others without running my mouth constantly.
About my sweet family...
I am married to Kyle. He is a great husband and father. We have had our ups and downs in marriage but right now, through much healing, we are in a really good place.
 Ellie is my oldest child, she is 16. She is beautiful inside and out. She loves to sing and play softball.
 Emma is our middle child, she is 12. She is a sweetheart and loves her soccer.
 Cara is our youngest, she is 10. She is joy. She loves everything.
 I am blessed. I am honored to write for friends. Thanks for reading.

My anchor

The only times I feel unanchored are the times I let go of God.
I get too busy for my own good and let go of the one thing that grounds me, Jesus.
How I am thankful for grace and acceptance!
He loves me no matter what I do.
I am over flowing with thankfulness!

Blocking the Light

Distraction can make us

blind to the light
all the while the light shines brightly
why do we let things block the light
when the light is all we need

Swirl

Walking with a ribbon of red flowing behind,
dancing in the wind.
There are blue sky's above,
you can see the way.
Continue to swirl, with bows on your shoes.
Live like there's no tomorrow!

Trusting Love

It is amazing what happens when God gives you the gift of really opening up to people and praying for those in need. For years, I was very guarded, now, I can be an open book. It started with something Jo Frost taught me when we did Supernanny, then, God had to sift me and I felt very raw. I was an emotional basket case for a few years, opening up is hard. Now, I am healed and I want to shout it out loud. I want to tell others there is hope.
 My friend Debby said to me recently, "you have to trust those who love you". I have finally accepted it. I have an awesome husband, great kids, great parents and great friends.
 I'm writing this to share love, share Jesus and give others hope.
 Love God, Love People, all people.

If you are feeling down

 When all else fails
ask God to show you
 how to be creative
how to make others smile
 to let you know your gifts
so you can use them
 to help others do

the same

What Jesus said to me today.....

When you feel sad, when you feel life's sting, just ask for me and I'll take your pain. I'll sustain you and show you love. Come to me, please come to me.

Thank you God, for the empty tomb!!

It is Good Friday today, but on Sunday we celebrate the empty tomb!!!!!!!

Just Believe

If it is broken, God can fix it. It doesn't mean we have be perfect or judge others...it only means we have to ask him. It is quite simple when we take away the mess we humans have made of everything. He is still there with us and just wants us to BELIEVE!

Coming Out of the Pit

There comes a time when we decide to get out of the pit

a person has to find it for themselves

once we get to that place

God is right there

holding his hands out

he will gently pull us

out of the deep pit
