100,037

-
 We've been together for 80,000 plus miles now... I pray she lasts me at least that many more miles.  Yes, I am talking about my 2005 Hyundai Sonata! I love my car just as much as the day I drove her home! God helped me find it and I could not have found a more beautiful set of wheels on my own; i love the color, the style, the interior, the way it drives and the sound system AND that it has a keyless clicker and a sunroof.  :-) Yep... Today was a special day; I tried to catch it the moment it turned over from 99,999 to 100,000 but my thoughts distracted me and when I looked down it read 100,037.  That amused me as I am turning 37 this year - and am having a little trouble swallowing that - But God has a sense of humor.  He is giving me some special things wrapped up with those numbers - check out Psalm 37:7 for example: that is my Rx from God this summer... do you think those numbers are a coincidence - NOT. :-) anyhow, He is good like that... So, this is me, in '07, after having my car only a few weeks.  Sorry it is a little blurry, and, no, she does not have a name. :-)

New Year's Eve

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.  I have fought many years to "find" my purpose and call

TAGGED

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! "That is not the point in which faith comes in. But supposing a man's reason once decides that the weight of the evidence is for it. I can tell that man what is going to happen to him in the next few weeks. There will come a moment when there is bad news, or he is in trouble, or is living among a lot of other people who do not believe it, and all at once his emotions will rise up and carry out a sort of blitz on his belief." I don't know that many to tag!!

The Heart....

My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them And health to all their body. Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life. Put away from you a deceitful mouth And put devious speech far from you. Let your eyes look directly ahead And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you. Watch the path of your feet And all your ways will be established. Do not turn to the right nor to the left; Turn your foot from evil. Once when i was cleaning house, i was talking to the Lord as i went from room to room, dusting and vacuuming. I asked Him a question, "Lord, what is the most important thing to you?"...now, God doesn't usually speak audibly to me but, His Word says His sheep know His voice...and i am definitely one of His Sheep. As i continued cleaning, not really expecting to hear an ans
