Defnately overloaded

Ever be in the middle of something so HUGE you can't wrap your mind around it? I'm definately overloaded by the messages pouring into my life this last month. They've come from everwhere! Read Paul's letters, bonded with sisters who encourage and stretch me forward, spent quality time with family and emabarked on new adventures. God is so good! Opportunities to serve Him in deeper and much busier ways fill my heart more than the tasks can ever fill my email inbox. Best of all He provides the will, do, power and grace to get it done. I don't know how I got here and I don't know where I'm going but I'm swimming in the rip current of AMAZING Grace. How sweet it is! Just look what God can do when you let Him set the scene.

Year of sisterhood

My 2013 theme song appears to be something about sisterhood. We are family! Girls are so bad at knowing they need eachother but being too busy to always get there. Ever notice how busy we are? Then ever notice how excited we are when we can get a day to be with just the girls? With an invite to welcome my first sister into my family via brothers wedding and a volunteer job offer to work on a regional women's Christian conference I'd say God has his plans for me. This year I'm gonna find those close girlfriends I should have. They are out there! Maybe I even met them before.

What is so hard about blogging?

What is so hard about blogging? Every moment of my day I can offer commentary. Water cooler conversations around me never end. An assortment of media bombard us with information 24/7. The Lord says pray without ceasing. There is always something to talk about! But sometimes there is a value in silence too. I was always one of those who just blurted out whatever first came to mind. Now I keep receiving Scripture references about the heart being the well spring of my life that must be guarded. Someone even said scientists proved our heart has neurons like our brain. Feelings are always talking to our mind. The challenge comes when wrong feelings enter our thoughts. Ever entertain the famous “I can’t” mother told you was a four-letter word? Ever allow yourself to be discouraged from doing something you never started or talked to anyone about? Ever think a person you never had a conversation with is not interested in being your friend? Where do we get these crazy ideas? Like guarding my heart, I’m going to guard my typing and carefully pick the words I want to say here. I think I’ll keep it to a Friday thing. That’s always a day there is free time and our heart is singing positive tunes.
