FEELING DOWN?

How is your faith feeling?  Tested, tried, and tired?  I have days like this; and don't always know how to deal with it.  My feelings takeover sometimes.  I might wake up feeling miserable, mad, ungrateful, begrudged.  Maybe it is my hormones in overdrive which sends my emotions every which way.  It don't matter what makes me unusually cranky that day, it just makes for a very bad day!  The trick for me is the energy it takes to snap out of this slump - I pray with a wrong attitude; I greet my family sourly; I drink my coffee with a frown; ecetera. 

Throughout the day, I am seeking for a 'rainbow in the sky' to rejuvenate my hope.  A rainbow is a sign of hope that God's promises are sure. 

So, although I woke up on the wrong side of faith, and my circumstances stink, God is yet faithful.  He remembered me.  He let His sun rise to greet me.  He kept my family safe as we slept.  He provided us with food for the day.  His love travels with me throughout the day as a companion to my soul.  He does not leave when the difficult situations come. 

Did you know that Jesus advocates on our behalf and the Holy Spirit groans in prayers for us?!!  I am encouraged to know this. 

FEELINGS, SMEELINGS...

2! 4! 6! 8! WHO DO we APPRECIATE?

God is Good, God is Great
We should Thank Him
Before it's too late...



God is Good all of the time; and all of the time God is Good. Although this is true, I find myself surviving - not thriving in this life.  I'm not supposed to live this kind of 'underwhelming' life; but I ask myself - What is an abundant life?  The news programs are deeply depressing so I will cut that out of my life from now on...even the weather reports mostly bad news.  Yes,I think I'll let the rest of the world debate what is right or wrong in society. My focus will be on things of real substance - such as, loving my neighbor, not judging my neighbor.  I'm ready and willing to sell all of my goods,which will only perish and become worn and used. Love, on the other hand, adds beauty to everything,every heart that it touches.  And that is enough to fill my entire life with abundance.

I'm glad I was able to figure that out!  

Make It Count!

"There are many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them are without significance."  ____A prudent man wrote this quote. 

We all have something to say; and I want to make sure that what I say counts for something worthy of the time it takes to write it.  Words that pierce the heart and that will open up good, intense dialogue.  I am seeking to connect with the Square Pegs in this world who don't seem to fit in any 'circles' (hence the name).
