The Lovely My two year old, Eli, drags me out to the back porch. I do not really want to go. I think of all the excuses, but he wins. He has on his sweet boots and sweat shirt and a baseball cap. He is adorable. I am still in my lounge clothes. A long sweater. Yoga pants. No make up. Today is a sad day. My dear dear Aunt is dying. She is getting closer to drawing her last breath on this earth. My heart hurts. It is heavy. I wiped tears from her eyes just yesterday. I say thank you to God. I am blessed to have been a part of her life. I am blessed because I know her. Eli wants to play with bubbles now. I pour them in the bubble machine and watch as a thousand bubbles fill the crisp cloudy air. He is so excited. I am still. I imagine. Today I have spiritual eyes. There are a thousand souls floating up. She may be one. Floating. Enjoying the space around her. Free from being held down. Perfect. Perfect. God holds these. They are right with Him. Free. ...

A Thankful heart is a HAPPY heart
While sometimes I am not very joyful.. I feel like it is a matter of where you are in your thankfulness . Last night I was kinda bummed.

He provided our condo and it's maintenance free yard.(hallelujah!!) He has watched over me to help me make good decisions and HE has forgiven me and wrapped His arms around me. Knowing and thanking HIM for all that HE has provided is turning my blah's into a GREAT anticipation of t...
My week has been filled with 'doing things'. Running kids here and there. Painting project for a friend. Encouraging friends. Starting a new bible study. Trying to find quiet time. Cleaning house. Doing laundry. Starting a new workout routine (my arms are sore just typing). Teaching five year olds in Sunday School. Making sure my oldest is registered for class for his first semester of college coming up. Spending quality time with family. Letting my 16 year old get driving practice. Making sure everyone is fed and the house is in order. Did I mention taking care of a now crawling 7 month old? Whew. All of these things keep me busy. But I was reminded this morning of Someone that is pursuing me. Even in the midst of all of this craziness ...albeit good things. Who you ask? God. The creator of all things is pursuing us. What does this mean? The word pursue in the Webster dictionary says: to follow and try to catch for usually a long distance or time; to try to get over a perio...
