Man it's been a long while since I have blogged. I have been in survival mode, fighting through, keep'n my gaze high as I can, sloughing the mud off and out of my eyes, and trusting that there was some reason for this trench. Things have been shifting in me in the last few weeks.... I am starting to dream again. I am starting to gaze through the grey and see sunshine and possibilities in the clouds! Yet, I believe it's more than mere possibilities, I believe its the edges of the reality of who and what I am. I have learned a lot. God has given me mooch-o much, that I can't hoard - hoarding kills life. So, I want to share all HE has given me and proclaim that HE DOES give life abundantly. He has created us to live... to glorify and honor our Maker. That is what I intend to do, starting now. Since you are trekking with me, you have seen my journey, my "a-ha" moments and dismal days.

What are you reading? Melanie at monday through sunday tagged me for this meme. The Rules: 1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages). 2. Open the book to page 123. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the next three sentences. 5. Tag five people. The book I am reading right now is:.....Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis. A wonderful classic!

I don't know that many to tag!!
This should be repeated a LOT. Today, I need to tell my soul to look up. So, for those who aren't familiar with a "golden List" it comes from the book called "The Ultimate Gift" but follows after an older command; that of being thankful!! The Golden List is a practice of thinking of at least TEN things that you are thankful for EVERYDAY... preferrably BEFORE rolling out of bed. Well, I didn't exactly think of doing this at 5:27AM this morning, it was more like... "oh I hope i have another hour to sleep..." Nope. 3 minutes until my alarm would go off... my day started. So... it is a little late in the day, but I need to do this. If you want to join me, add at least ONE thing You are thankful for in the comments section. 1. Good health 2. A quiet moment to reflect 3. A break from school 4. A road trip this weekend!! 5. Time with sweet friends this weekend!! 6. my skin looks good today... (okay, random, but I like it when my skin looks bri
