Taking a break…

And you say…”didn’t you just take a three month break? Why another one?”

Well…yes, I did spend the better part of Fall in silence. My reasons for that silent period were many, including the crazy busyness of my life at the time.

But this break is not one that I am placing on myself. I am going on a “sabbatical” of sorts…and I’m being led to do so by the Lord. As anyone who reads my blog regularly knows, I am not one to share intimate details of my life on my blog. And this time is no different. Just know that the Lord will using this time to work through some things within me.

Your prayers are greatly appreciated. I don’t know how long the blog will be silent…but I am quite sure it’s safe to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Blessings…

…and grace and peace.

 

Speechless…

I haven’t been inspired lately. Actually I’ve been quite speechless, not sure what to write about. It’s not that I’m not thinking about anything – it’s that I’m thinking about too much. I’m looking forward to a quiet weekend with some times of solitude.

 

All I can say right now is that God is good – even when things don’t happen the way you envision. And it seems that things usually don’t happen the way we envision. I am grateful that the Lord see beyond the immediate circumstance and controls the outcome. If I controlled it, my life would really be a mess!

 

Speaking of thinking about too much, I ran across this blog post from Tim Challis today about information overload. Talk about hitting the nail on the head!! Read and be blessed…

 

More later.

 

Grace and peace…

 

Ramblings…

Okay, so I need to ramble for a moment. I promise to make this brief…

I’ve been thinking about a phrase I have coined that has kind of become my life statement in a way…Breathe deeply and live fully…

Have you ever looked back upon life and seen where you have made really wrong decisions, and you wish you could go back and change them? Or you look back and wish you had done something you left undone, or said something you left unsaid. Take back a harsh word…speak a word of love.

I’m sure you have – I have…I’m doing that right now. Regrets – it so very easy to get caught up in what happened in the past and wish, wish wish…to have a second chance to make a different choice.

But…

We cannot do that. I can’t go back and fix mistakes I’ve made. I cannot go back and undo things I wish I hadn’t done – or do those things I wish I had. But, I can learn from those things, and make better decisions, better choices in the future. Open the door for the new things God wants to give…second chances He will graciously provide…new experiences He will grant.

So, I remember yesterday and thank God for His faithfulness…look forward to the future and know it is in His hands…

But live in the present and seek to glorify God in all I do.

In order to breathe deeply and live fully…I have to let go of regrets…

 

What can I say?

Obviously not much! It’s been a quiet month for me.

Just wanted to check in to say I’m still here…for those who check my page. A lot going on – much to tell. I’ll be back on the blog soon! I leave you with a new look…peace!

Blessings!

 

Still Working On It…

Okay, so, I’ve decided to change my blog theme yet one more time! I promise this is the last time…for now!

I’m trying to get my groove back on this blogging thing. It just isn’t flowing like I want it to. But I will get there eventually…

Stay tuned for more updates and changes! I will find my direction yet!!
