Called Out This is the hard one. Being called out on something that gets your core is challenging at best. When taken to the heart it means that you have to take time to examine what is going on, and deal with it appropriately. Working through issues of the heart is tricky, involves the mind, … Continue reading Called out Called up Called forth

Whacked my toe – good golly that hurt
I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, making dinner is not my favorite thing in life. My sweetie enjoys cooking, I enjoy baking. When I cook, eh, food's edible and we're nourished. Quite frankly we're lucky the food is on the table all at the same time. When he cooks, the sun pours forth, … Continue reading Whacked my toe – good golly that hurt
Frustration redux
Three Minute Retreat Isaiah 49:6 - I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth. Spirit of God, move through me. Help me to use my gifts in cooperation with God’s plan of salvation. So, I'm not frustrated, but had this (probably once again) epiphany of … Continue reading Frustration redux
Conversations about Faith
Sometimes as I sit to write the words flow freely from my heart and mind to the keyboard, onto this page. I have an idea of where to go, not so much a clear path to get there. Occasionally the where I think this is going, and where I end up are incredibly different. … Continue reading Conversations about Faith

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?
Did you ever?
If today you hear His Voice, harden not your hearts. Hebrews 3. As I started writing this post the verse from Hebrews wiggled its way to the top of the thoughts running through my brain. I took a moment to look it up and then read the chapter the verse is in. The chapter speaks of … Continue reading Did you ever?
Wonderment
A couple of weeks ago I suggested to a couple of friends that we study the book of Job. We each have life experiences that are, without a doubt, very challenging at the moment. We decided to go with 5 Habits of a Woman Who Doesn't Quit through Proverbs 31 Ministries, studying the book of and … Continue reading Wonderment

Often when I write posts they are a result of on-going internal processing and prayer. I wake up hearing a song and the end result is a reflective post on that song. "Oceans" along with Journey (word of the year) being frequent themes for 2015. Both are a recognition of something deeper stirring. I don't … Continue reading Drafts

So this is a dual post one where I caught myself getting annoyed with someone on more than one occasion. And STOPPED it cold. In both instances the person is new in their position and learning something that takes time. Customer Service in any way, shape, and form, takes time to learn. And on the … Continue reading entitled
