Flying By

As I listen to the birds flying over head (that's a whole story I won't go into), I'm thinking about how fast time flies. I cannot believe that July 2010 is almost over. I now have a three and a half year old who has been to the emergency room five times in his life (again another story). In the middle of August I will be married to the love of my life 19 years. Time just goes and goes... Yet, one thing remains constant: God. He transcends time. He has a plan for my time here on earth (as well as in heaven).

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate;a time for war, and a time for peace.

I am always amazed with how God moves in our lives!

It's Party Time!

Jeff and Sherri Easter and the song, "It's Party Time." Although we grieve here on earth, it's party time when a believer enters the presence of the Lord!

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, ... (It's Thankful Thursday!)

I love ya, Tomorrow! The sun will come out tomorrow!

Gotta love Annie! What a bright outlook. For me personally, my outlook is improving! Much time spent in prayer and reading God's Word lifts my spirits. There is nothing He doesn't know about me. I've been working on a book about building spiritual intimacy with God. The first chapter deals with the awesomeness of God. The scriptures used lifted God before my eyes and refocused my thinking. Then on to chapter two... How God knows us intimately. Wow! I reflect that Glen and I have spent the last 20 years together (between courtship and marriage). My husband knows me so well. Sometimes even better than I know myself. However, he is still learning about me (and I about him).

Then there's God. He knows me even better than my husband. My relationship with God began before my relationship with Glen. In fact, the first relationship I had was with God. He knew me before I was formed for He created me! He desires an intimate relationship with me. I'm the one who turns away, shuts down, and all around gives up. God is amazing! He is holy! He is incredible! He is indescribable! HE IS GOD!

Keep Putting Things Off

I have become a procrastinator. I keep putting things off. Things like laundry, dishes, house cleaning, blogging, grocery shopping, pretty much everything. I have no motivation or desire to do any thing. I hate this part of who I am. I'm falling back into my depression. Guess it's time to up the Vitamin B. The cloudy cool days we have had over the last two weeks haven't helped. I believe part of this is going through the grief of losing L2. I had a huge meltdown today in church. We sang L2's hymn that we sang as her lullaby - "The Old Rugged Cross" - and I could not control my emotions - had to leave service. She's been on my mind so much lately. Guess I need to focus and go back to having a daily "To Do List" in order to get something done. I so wanted to make my 300th post something special. However, the sparkle is lacking in my life right now. I'm on a hunt to find it!
