tell Him your plans. Sometimes God says, "No, I know the plans I have for you, and quite frankly this isn't it" or "Maybe, but not today" or "I have something better in mind, Trust Me" or "I love you". When I started writing this post it was a full on whine because over the … Continue reading If you want to make God laugh

The Chip
Have you ever read Shel Silverstein's The Missing Piece? I read this to small children a long time ago, in a place far away. I loved reading this book to small children. While it's written for children I think this book is for adults, to remind us that in and of ourselves we are indeed … Continue reading The Chip
Sometimes I hope
That I'm really listening. The other night as I climbed into bed *short girl/tall bed* I remembered a scene from Touched by an Angel where Monica, was standing in the middle of the desert. I don't remember why she needed to go there, in fact I'd say it really doesn't matter. But what I remember … Continue reading Sometimes I hope
Have I ever shared
So, in an earlier part of my life part of my work was to go to conferences to promote the ministry my sweetie and I worked with. When I first started going it was particularly challenging because my personal preference would be to blend into the nearest wall, becoming invisible, unseen. This wasn't about me … Continue reading Have I ever shared
Peaceful
You all know that "Oceans" speaks to my heart deeply, in looking back there are at least 6 posts with the song as the basis. It's come up in the play list on Pandora on two separate stations with some frequency, whispering sweetly to Trust God ever more deeply. Trusting God that he is leading … Continue reading Peaceful
Where are you leading?
I read this post by Mary deTurris Poust on her blog Not Strictly Spiritual Friday. Something deeply resonated in my heart, particularly after something I said earlier that morning. In some way I wanted to be part of something, a particular group of people. In an effort to not be whiny I'll leave it at that. Mary's … Continue reading Where are you leading?

Craftsmanship
FRODO: I can’t do this, Sam. SAM: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the … Continue reading Craftsmanship
So, I read a few blogs
I'm sure you're shocked. And there is often something beautiful and deep going on behind the scenes. I've been reading Easily Crestfallen, watching a journey of faith unfold. Ray reminds us of something beautiful, God is always with us. Always. As I read Ray's blog I kept hearing the lyrics to Don Francisco's, "Adam! Adam! … Continue reading So, I read a few blogs
