But they taught them that they should keep their record, and that they might write one to another.

If you surrender to the wind,
you can ride it.
~Toni Morrison


 
So many times in my life I have found myself fighting the wind and it just wears me out mentally, physically and most importantly spiritually.
I have caught myself fighting the things that are meant to happen.
Fighting the things that are better for me, not really things I might want....but better for me.
Fighting the decisions that need to be made.
Fighting the things that are man made rather than God Intended.
Fighting the Plan....
 
when I finally settle in on the wind and ride it out......it's seems as if things work out exactly the way their suppose to...and life is less of a struggle, less of a confusion and less of a pain.
 


Question for you to answer......
What in your life right now is the WIND?
It might be:
Food
Money
Job
Family
being unOrganized
Pair of wanted shoes that you don't need
anger issues
emotion
death
happiness
testimony
new town
new home
old home
What is it?
 
another question......
If I choose to ride this wind...what is the outcome?
For me, tonight my wind was a chocolate cupcake...I rode the wind and now I have a sugar headache!

April 15th


"Our worst fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
'who am I to be so brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?'
Actually, who are we not to be?
You are a child of God: Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."
~Marianne Williamson
 
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
*Today....write about what makes YOU*
brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous
I know it's hard, who wants to toot their own horn?
But, I think it's time we start realizing how smart our
Heavenly Father is.

April 1st

It's spring fever.
That is what the name of it is.
And when you've got it, you want -
oh, you don't quite know what
it is you do want,
but it just fairly makes your heart ache,
you want it so!
~Mark Twain




Last weekend we made a trip up to Mesa Arizona for the day and when we opend the doors the smell of orange blossoms flooded our noses....
OH Spring,
we love you!
