Happy Friday Y'all....It's a good day to have a really good day!!
There's a phrase that has always stirred something deep in me.....
"Lasso the moon."
It sounds a little wild, doesn't it? A little impossible. Like something only dreamers would dare to say out loud.
But maybe that's exactly the point.
Somewhere along the way, many of us quietly stop reaching. We trade wide-eyed wonder for safe choices. We tuck our dreams neatly into the corners of our hearts and tell ourselves, "That's just not for me."
But what if it is?
What if that dream, that nudge, that whisper in your spirit....was placed there on purpose?
Lassoing the moon isn't really about capturing something unreachable. It's about the courage to try. It's about lifting your eyes, stretching your faith, and daring to believe that God can meet you in the middle of your reaching.
Sometimes, the miracle isn't in catching the moon....
It's in becoming someone who still reaches for it.
And maybe...God is smiling at the effort, the gentle guiding of the rope, reminding us that nothing placed in His hands is ever wasted.
Today, or whenever your heart feels that quiet pull again. Go ahead and throw the rope.
"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see...." Hebrews 11:1
Shug.....
* How many times do we hold back from something because it feels to big or too late?
Lasso that moon! Great post. I love the energy. Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Cheers and boogie boogie.
ReplyDeleteOh, how your words resonate. "The story of my life."
ReplyDeleteI do hope posts like this one (and yesterday's) make it into your book. I'll be the first to stand in line!
I relate since I recently lassoed WordPress. God had me push through because He knew. I am so glad I did plus learning new things really does give us a bounce to our step! I strive to keep learning and trying new things.
ReplyDeleteShug, I just love visiting you- Your posts are always so inspiring and uplifting and your new banner just made me smile. I seem to hold back a lot since I retired. I sometimes feel it would just take too much energy to do some of the things I think about. Hope you have a great day.
ReplyDeleteSometimes Safe is just too safe and I don't want to ignore the nudges that the Lord places in my way. I wouldn't have ended up in the tradeshow business if it wasn't for Dave being downsized out of his management position at Sears. Not having a job is a pretty big Nudge. I found out that I could do it and really enjoyed those years, especially since it was a job that Dave and I could do together and travel in the U.S.

Inspiring post! I'm more of a gardener, pulling the weeds and nurturing the flowers. Taking delight in watching things grow. ❤️
ReplyDeleteI do love my gardening as well... I worked in the garden to day and it was so hot.
DeleteWell-written; thank you. I like the quote from Hebrews so much.
ReplyDeletePraying for y'all. God bless.
Thank you Victor...and thank you for your prayers
DeleteThrow the rope!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes mam.... I have many ropes that I've wanted to throw...just not enough confidence to do so.
DeleteA very good and thoughtful post, Shug. Every time I hear that phrase, I think of Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed in It's a Wonderful Life. Sending hugs to you, sweet friend. xx
ReplyDeleteYou are so encouraging!! And you are always right!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful post. I can't help wondering how many times I passed on dreams because I just didn't think they were attainable.
ReplyDeleteThank you Shug...wishing you a beautiful Saturday. ☺
ReplyDeleteFood for thought, as ever. 😃
ReplyDeleteLove this post! I especially liked the phrase about having the courage to try. Sometimes we just have to start!
ReplyDeleteWonderful and inspiring post, Shug!
ReplyDeleteI love Hebrews 11:1. We do need the courage to try and keep on keeping on. I will be praying for y'all this week.
ReplyDeleteI think this post just spoke to me... I was asked to go on a quilting retreat... been wrestling with the decision.

I'm just sipping my coffee this Sunday morning, and catching up on your dear posts. You and your blog make me smile. : )
ReplyDeleteI remember that phrase from an old movie! Jimmie Stewart?
ReplyDeleteI am happy to lasso my weeds these days. Whipper snipper is away, shower had. Jobs done.
