Sharing Jesus

How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news! Romans 10:15

Snow Petals

Cherry Blossom tree, every morning I see, your petals so white but in the light, you quickly blossom to hues of sweet pale pinks. The wind blows softly and takes part of you away, but the memories you give me of the fresh Spring days last in my thoughts.

Night Sounds

I'm blogging from my IPhone. This is a first. :-) Well I am officially on Easter vacation. No work tomorrow and looking forward to a nice weekend ending with Easter service with family and friends at church early Sunday morning.

So as I sit here relaxing with my cat Buddy nuzzled at my side, I take in the night sounds. The meows of my other cat Jasper exploring through the house, the soft lull of the tv, and my most fav, the spontaneous blows of the train whistles and vibration of its passing.

Even though I live 'in town' the train gives me a sense of still being out in the country. Yeah not sure how to explain that but it just does. I'm sure most people get annoyed by the train or they just ignore and never really hear it. Well a day doesn't go by where I don't stop and listen. It just makes me smile every time. Oh the little things...

Obsessed with Avocado

This may be my dinner tonight! I have recently become obsessed with Avocados. Is that a bad thing? Surely not! Its green, yummy, a healthy fat, high in protein, sodium and cholesterol free....and classified as a FRUIT!
So I think this is a really good addition to my daily regimen. Instead of an apple and day, and avocado a day will be my daily dose of health!

So tonight an alligator pear please! :-)

This pretty much sums up how I'm trying to be.  I will not be discouraged or dismayed. I will endure, remain faithful to Christ, and keep hoping. I can never lose hope, never.

Time

I miss having the time to write down my thoughts....I use to keep a journal and was dedicated to writing in it almost daily. Did it for almost 15 years. But I haven't read them in quit some time. I know what's in them. A bunch of junk! But since I know what's there, I do know one thing. I've grown from those days and time has surely made a change in me. Thank the Lord!

So now in my busyness, I can't find the time to sit and write, and I really want to. I almost feel God needs me to.  I like where I am now in my life and mainly because its not just about me. Yes I am single. No husband, no children, but God keeps me busy doing the things I may not find the time to do otherwise. Somehow though, I need to find the time to write.....I'd have growing experiences, ah-ha moments, struggles God has walked me through.....  I need to write these things down. Not just for me, but hopefully for others that can be encouraged and uplifted, or maybe just to cause someone to chuckle at my ridiculousness.

So I'm hoping to start making the time to write, maybe once a week? Time will tell.....tick, tock.

Be still and know...

Psalm 46:10 says 'Be still and know that I am God...' and Romans 8:28 promises this, 'And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.'

These passages have stayed on my mind alot in the past few months. Right now, I really need to meditate on these verses. An area of my life has been going nowhere for too long. I've tried too hard and I'm constantly getting frustrated with my efforts. I'm not giving up, I just can't keep trying things my way. I have to surrender this thing completely over to God and be still and let Him take over. I will stop physically trying but I will start praying about this and trusting that God is working on my behalf.

My past mistakes in this area can only have been necessary to get me to where I need to be now, especially since I'm putting this in God's hands at this point, finally! So all my past decisions and mistakes will work together for good and God will work out the blessing that is to come. I love God but I know He loves me more. He only wants me to trust Him now, put Him first, and follow His commands and leading in my life. He has His very best in store for me and I have to always believe this no matter what the circumstances.

So tonight, I am still....
