November 21st, 2011 Yes, try it. Push God to His limit. I did. Last winter there was a prayer I wanted answered so bad I was relentless. Kicking and screaming at God and calling Him every name except God. I was so bad that for three months He had to deem me immobile and “handcuff” me until I . . . → Read More: Go Ahead…Push God Around
November 20th, 2011 I thought I had that question answered in my tag line, until today. I really thought I’ve been blogging just to not let another day go by without writing, and then I came across this:
“Everyday, give yourself a good mental shampoo.” ~ Dr. Sara Jordan
That’s the real reason. That’s what writing this blog . . . → Read More: Why Do I Blog?
November 19th, 2011 You know the feeling. Open up your inbox and it’s flooded with email chain letter prayers and photos that if you send to six people your prayers will be answered. I know it’s the new age of technology, but the way to talk to God and have Him move and work in my life is . . . → Read More: Agh! More Forwards!
November 18th, 2011 What do you do when you have unresolved issues? Isn’t the answer obvious? Resolve them. I am a “fixer”. I dedicate my time to keeping all aspects of my life in order. Usually when one fire is put out, it isn’t very long until another crops up and I’m at it again. Being a mom, . . . → Read More: Unresolved Issues
November 17th, 2011 True freedom is when the curtain is finally lifted and we see that which has been hidden within ourselves, keeping us prisoner. Today my morning meditation solved the true mystery of what I have been unknowingly grappling with for 17 months now. There is no better way to explain it than to just let you . . . → Read More: Freedom..No..True Freedom
November 16th, 2011 Today at my women’s bible study group the discussion was on that horrible word – discipline. You know – that thing that we all love to avoid and we’re supposed to do but don’t want to do. The question that was posed was:
“If you hear that someone has a lot of self-discipline, or “is . . . → Read More: “To Do” or “To Don’t”
November 15th, 2011 After my languid day yesterday, I drove back to the cape today. When I got here I got groceries, put my stuff away, raked leaves, put away lawn furniture, and…went to 6 pm yoga.
There’s something to be said for languidness. Paying attention to what my body needed yesterday and practicing that self-care, made . . . → Read More: Languidness
November 14th, 2011 Today when I woke up I just knew my day wasn’t going to go as planned. I had planned to drive back to the cape, but for some reason I decided against it and stayed in NY one more day. I didn’t feel quite up to par and just took the day to lay low . . . → Read More: Plans
November 13th, 2011 This week, while in NY, I spent way more time shopping than I ever do when I’m home at the cape. (This is probably due to the fact that there are no leaves to do here.) I spent two days in two different malls. I have a long cardigan sweater that I love and wear . . . → Read More: More Is Definitely Less
November 12th, 2011 Sitting here watching the Penn State game and feeling bad, just so bad….for the students, especially the seniors (it’s senior day), Joe Pa, the alumni, and…most especially the victims. It’s a tremendous tearing down for all affected. Everyone will be changed by the heartbreak of it all. Next, the healing will have to begin. The . . . → Read More: General Malaise
