REST for a moment
Woke up a bit stressed….So much to do! Read the wonderful book SABBATH and was reminded, If we refuse to rest until all is finished….we will never rest! If your mind is full of things that need attention, make a list, then put it to the side and let it go. Monday is right around the corner and you can pick it back up and work on those …check marks! Simply let your soul catch up with you today…. relax, restore and enjoy, and remember this is the day that the Lord hath made, be glad and rest in it! I know I...

Today we had a wonderful women’s breakfast at my church FUMCWP. The speakers were amazing and spoke on balance. It was so funny because this morning I woke up thinking about balance. As I laid in bed I was thinking about how we stuff our lives, kind of like how we can stuff our faces…..You know that feeling when you ate way too much and are too full? It is uncomfortable, sometimes even painful. And then we think why did we eat that much? I knew I was full. But it all looked SO GOOD! That is sometimes what our life can feel...

read moreHeavy Feet
“One foot in front of the other”, notice how some day’s our feet feel much heavier than others. You go to take a step forward and you think your shoes have lead in them. Take an emotional pause and ask why. Are you tired, getting sick, fearful, taken on too much? Find the source of the heavy shoes and take time to lighten the load, kick the shoes off, rest and remember life is a journey not a race! Listen to what your life is saying, tend to your needs and remember there will be days when we will skip, run, walk, crawl and...

There is no better exercise for strengthening the HEART than reaching down and lifting up another……The best way to get beyond yourself and all that weighs you down is to be there for another….to comfort, to encourage, to love, support or just be there. We are called to comfort others the way we have been comforted. Today can you reach out, reach down, reach to someone that just needs a lift? It is amazing what it will do for them, but it will surprise you too and what it will do in your life! When we step out and show others...

Have you ever had one of those meetings that you could feel the energy? It actually had a life and was filling the room? Good, positive, creative energy. You connected with the people in a wonderfully easy way. Today I had a moment like that. I think it is because I am living out my passion, I am on the right path and I am being true to the person I was created to be. There is more to come about this meeting stay tuned in (literally), but for now…… How sweet it is!

As I woke up this morning I was surprised by the peace I felt. My oldest son David got home yesterday from his mission trip in Kenya safe and sound, which is a big part of that. My new business venture is starting to really take a life of it’s own and I am beginning to see how it can work and be successful. Kids are back at school this week (Yippee!), we will have a schedule again! For the moment all is well, all is good. Everything seems to be in place, stars are aligning…It is easy to find peace and joy today, to rest in his...

What a day….well what a week. I truly feel blessed by the community of women that have been placed in my life over the last few months. Isn’t it funny how when our eyes are open to the hand of God we really see his work and plan. Well, my eyes have been WIDE OPEN and let me tell what a work he has been doing. I have girls that have worked so hard on this blog and boy did they do a wonderful job! Thanks Morgan and Ariella, such patience, talent and creativity knows no bounds. Then Barbara, who is getting ready to start her new job...

In my quiet time this morning I read Psalm 91 and two words stuck out…DWELL and REST. “He who Dwells in the shelter of the Most High will Rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” Hummm, so How we Rest is Dependent on Where we Dwell….We all need Rest…mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. Do I Dwell in the shelter of the Most High? Or do I run around looking for other means of shelter? It hit me like a ton of bricks! I needed this reminder this morning….God provides this wonderful place of shelter, a...
