As the Deer Pants....

Psalm 42:1-2

"As the deer pants for streams of water, 
so my soul pants for you, my God.
My soul thirst for God, for the living God
When can I go and meet with God.

Get-up-and-Go....

My motivation seems to be hibernating and it sure must be warm and cozy right where it is at.

I always welcome company into our home, but right now.....this place is looking quite BEAR Bare!

I still as of yet.....have done nothing since taking down the Christmas Decorations!

It's my motivations fault.  It do believe that it is missing a few spark plugs at this time.   

You know what?  I'm not going to worry about it.   Even though my regular routine is a little off track....I still know who the engineer of my life is.  When God is ready for me to fuel my engine, HE will let me know.

Sometimes God wants us just to rest in His presence and to be still. God has mapped out every inch of my journey and it's NO surprise to HIM that my get-up-and-go has strutted off with out me!!

My future is great and I will soon bask in the delight of being busy....God has a plan for me and I must use this time to listen for His direction.

The Lord will always lead you.  He will satisfy your needs in dry lands.  He will give strength to your bones.  You will be like a garden that has much water.  You will be like a spring that never runs dry.   

              Isaiah 58:11

Give Everyday A Chance!

It is hard to believe that we are now two weeks into the New Year.......the year of 2015.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.  "The Lord is my portion,"  says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."

                                                                                            Lamentations 3:22-24

These first two weeks have been quite challenging and have definitely required me to exercise my Trust in the Lord.   Thank goodness for God's word, that assures me that HIS mercies are new every morning.

You know..... God longs to be our guide.....He longs to direct our steps and to lead us past the wilderness that we sometimes walk through.

I know that for me......I have walked on many uneven paths this past year {2014}   I faced mental challenges in dealing with my dad.   There were many days when fear of the unknown, kept me  awake at night and it kept me  pacing the floor ....often!

I look back and can clearly see that it was me... i was the one that was purchasing the  tickets  to travel on the worry train...

It's just my nature to anticipate the best in everything and out of everyone.    When things don't work out, I can't focus until I have found a solution that will work..... as we all know....life is not perfect!!  Life will disappoint us...People will disappoint us!  It's people like me that have to work through the letdowns,  because we expected more than what could be given. 

It is very difficult to have high expectations, only to find that those expectations can sometimes fail us.   A hand shake is no longer a hand shake.....a person's word is no longer set in gold.....and the one thing that I've learned most of all is that the love of money is deceitful.   What happened to the days of helping others .....just because it's the right thing to do??

Not for personal gain!!

Thankfully......in all my distress......my God empowered me daily.....it was essential for me to welcome the Holy Spirit to guide me, to teach me and to help me in my times of weakness.

Yes.....our days are moving forward and the year 2015 is marching along.   I am filled with Hope....Hope that will anchor my soul and will move me forward in my relationship with the Lord.  

I know that there are phenomenal Blessings just ahead!!  Just thinking about them makes me want to dance.

Sweet hugs....

Sending Sunshine....

Good Monday morning....

I don't know about you....but I need a little sunshine!  These rainy, cold days have me longing for Spring!

I feel a little hemmed in and I just want to find that loose piece of string and free myself.

It's human nature I suppose...to always be on the look out for something more pleasing.  When Summer rolls around and the temps become sweltering....out comes those famous words.."I'm ready for cooler days..ready for Winter."

Now that Winter is here...we promise not to ever complain about the Summer heat...never again!

We need only to put on our happy suit and enjoy the day!

happy sunshine!

Hugs.
