Here we are...again... at the end of another year. Where does time and my life go? Again, we are going to be asked to pick a guiding word for 2024. I actually picked mine a couple of months ago, because my word for 2023 failed miserably. If you read my post from January 2nd of … Continue reading Pray more in 2024
Blue, gold, Orange, and Green
As a young girl, I was highly sensitive and very emotional. I had sympathy and compassion for people, but even more so for animals. My imagination would let me be a vet, a lion tamer, the Bionic Woman, Kelly of Charlie's Angels, a wild child of the woods, basically anything I wanted. Most of the … Continue reading Blue, gold, Orange, and Green
The short and long runs
Basically, the short run is doing what is easy at the moment and feeling bad in the long run. The long run is doing what is hard at the moment, but able to feel good then as well as later. Life is hard. Being a Christian is hard. Truth be told, I am good at … Continue reading The short and long runs
Little Treasure
at the Dollar General, or the DG as I call it, can become a phenomenal treasure that will lift your spirits. Who knew the movies there could actually become a favorite. I have three issues, actually more, but will mention three and stick to one for now. Books, pens, and movies. I could do a … Continue reading Little Treasure
Never Too Late
to learn what should have been taught/learned in childhood. That is where the foundation of our beliefs start. Childhood is where we are taught and/or learn how to start dealing (or not dealing) with hurts (physical & emotional) scrapes and bruises, heartbreak and dashed hopes. We should be taught, when we mess up there will … Continue reading Never Too Late
Cleaning House
Figuratively that is. It is now a year without an actual house, and I'm .... well, I'm not sure what I am. Anyway, I have been house sitting this weekend, meaning I have been on my own and it has been so nice. I have messy cooked but then cleaned the kitchen better than it … Continue reading Cleaning House
Proof
God not only listens but hears. I was just lamenting to God about my situations. I was telling Him the more I try to focus (the church's word for the year) on Him, the more the world seems to fall down around me. I worry constantly about my grown children. I know, I know, worry … Continue reading Proof
Man, I’ve Got A Lot To Learn
I really wish I had started a very long time ago learning to let go of my past, but even this I have to let go of, because it will only serve to keep me down. Now, I want to learn so much at one time. Time is going at light speed, and I feel … Continue reading Man, I’ve Got A Lot To Learn
Learning
If you have been reading my posts for any length of time, you will know I have struggled with the darkness for some time. What I have not really shared is the why, or at least I don't think I have. I write a lot of stuff in physical journals, so sometimes I forget what … Continue reading Learning
Outlining
What is an outline? Anyone who has ever been in school, most likely has had to do an outline. So, what is it and why do it? Some people call it a tool, some say a map, or a guide. Whatever the word you want to call it, it's a way to organize and visualize … Continue reading Outlining
