Mirror, Mirror
I have to write this down before I forget – today – Tuesday, July 09, 2013 – regarding my quiet time with God this morning: Feeling somewhat defeated after being so hopeful coming out of Awaken, instead of reading the Bible I sat quietly with God. He began showing me, after I finally stopped whining, …
Are You a Worrier?
Philippians 4:6-7 (MSG) Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the …
Inside Out – Outside In
Which is better? The Spirit working in our hearts to bring about Christ-likeness in our actions? Or God taking events that take place in our lives to mold in us the character of Christ? In my time with God this morning I read from The Message and I loved the way it expressed the fruit …
Faith Expressed in Love
"...we expectantly wait for a satisfying relationship with the Spirit...faith expressed in love." The Message Wow! This speaks to my heart right at this moment. For this is truly my desire. Not to be religious but to be in love and to pour out love. Holy Spirit, let us sit down together.

Not a Worthwhile Poem
Time to write, I know not what. It seems I've been in quite the rut. No words flow, no words stick, It's enough to make this writer sick! LOL! Seriously though, I've been in the throes of some tense situations these past weeks. The advice of my psychologist is to take time to think about …
MID-Life Crisis
Just wanted to let you all know what's happening with me. I will define what I am experiencing as a MID-life crisis. And I find it very eye opening. You see I've discovered the three major conditions that affect me. (Affect, right? Not effect?) M is for menopause, although if I were being technical it …
All Grown-up
As the youngest of three children, I learned fairly early that my parents were people. Before leaving the nest, my parents were already taking trips without me. And as a young adult my parents became "snowbirds" leaving the cold, wet winters in Oregon for the milder, dryer climate of Arizona. And thereby missing Thanksgiving, Christmas, …
