hoping all the stuff clears our in the new year

 
ending the year with clutter,
anticipating a move,
dealing with people and relationships,
finding new hope and strength....
hope it's enough
Lord, help!

we control little in life



With the last ten years, I have learned I have issues with control. never considering myself a control freak, I learned the hard way that I am. I want to fix things NOW. I want to settle things NOW. I want to get things worked out NOW. not necessarily to my own good but just to have it settled. It's just not possible. We can control what we think and say and how we respond to situations. That's about it. As soon as I realize this, life will go much smoother. Oh, I don't have a lot of patience either. God will surely help me with this.

everything takes time

 
 

tiny step by tiny step
I try to walk by faith
inch by inch
I try to move by trust
grace by grace
I try to shift by hope

seeking truth through God's word



is the only way to get through this world, especially today with the anger, illnesses, and troubles. Read the word of God daily. Study. Believe. Trust. Give. Share.

thoughts on a Sunday


I seek a holier life.

I pursue a happier existence.

I search for a calmer way of living.

I strive for a restful soul.

I try to have a joyful spirit.

I want a simpler time.

I work toward a grace only God can extend.

I aspire to live a holier life.
 

By the time a person is 60 pus, (sixty three nearly sixty four myself), one becomes aware of what matters, family, God and day to day life; quiet days, restful nights, God’s guidance, and time with family.
 

I went with my husband to his 50th high school reunion. Seeing the aging, loss of health, loss of life, and love of family and friends; these are the things that matter. These are the things that we value. These are the things we fight for all of our life and hope to have in the end. The final years.

 
It seems to me that we waste the majority of our life chasing after things that don’t matter; accumulations, success, fame, and recognition.  Then one day, we realize we have very little time left and the time we do have is speeding by and we have missed much of it.


Make a joyful noise
