Thoughts

Do you ever feel stuck?  I do.  Here I am at 11:31 at night, can’t sleep because of the wondering mind.  I just feel like writing and want to share with you. But what if what I put down on paper, or should I say , type on this post, offends someone!  People say, “speak you mind, be honest” Yea, right?  Do they really mean it?  Until you say something about...

Hopeful

I have been sitting on this couch staring out the window for almost a month, I haven’t gotten any sleep because of this wonderful, stylish boot that I have to constantly wear, yes, even to bed, and all I can think about is “Be still and know that I am God.” I’ve been through setbacks in the past, brain surgery, hysterectomy, quadruple bypass, severely sprained ankle with fractured...

New Beginning

For some reason, today I keep thinking about something that I have not thought about since THAT day.  When I was in the hospital after my accident, someone came to me that evening and asked how did I want my son dressed to be buried the next day!  Right now, I just want to say who cares!  But I remember saying, “Oh, I’ve always wanted him to have a little suit with a...

Autumn

I have been reminiscing today as I look around at the beauty that our God has allowed me to see as I walk on His earth, the earth that He created.  My thoughts have been focused on where I was three years ago today as I went in for quadruple bypass which was so unexpected!  I’ve always thought that I was in pretty good health but one never knows what’s going on in the inside. ...

More than a Second Chance

When I woke up this morning and walked down the hallway to my special place to meet with my Lord. I stopped at the front door and looked out into the darkness outside. My thoughts were on the fact that one year ago today, I was on the operating table having quadruple bypass surgery. Totally unexpected! As I stared into nothing because it was so dark, I was thanking God for giving me yet another...

Questions

Why is it that I ask myself so many questions? Or is it that I am questioning myself? Over the past couple of days, I have had to make some decisions on things that I have said "yes" to. There are bible studies, groups, women's ministry, then there is life, family, work - you get the drift. So the questions I have been asking myself are - Is this something that God wants me to do? Is this...

Prayer

I just finished writing a post on prayer and guess what? I lost it. I am not a tech person and have no clue what I'm doing so starting over. Do you ever wonder how to pray? I certainly have. I've had people tell me that I don't need to pray for myself, that I should only pray for other people. If I don't take care of me, how am I suppose to help others? Isn't that kind of like on an airplane?...

YAY! It’s Friday!

YAY! It’s Friday!  I’m sitting here watching three hummingbirds fight over the two feeders outside my home office window.  The little things in life that make me smile 😊 I woke up during the night with a major headache and it lingered on for a good while.  Needless to say that exercising was not on the radar this morning.  My mind kept telling me that I must do it,...

Waking up

I woke up 35 minutes before my alarm, and since I was meeting a friend for breakfast this morning, I started thinking about how I was going to skimp out of my “normal” morning routine.   Then I had to laugh 😊  NORMAL ROUTINE! You’ve got to be kidding France! You started it yesterday!  Yes, yesterday!  My “normal” is or should I say WAS getting up, have my...
