Turtle

   
     I just want you to know:  
Not saying anything won't take it away 
Not noticing it won't change it.
 Not arguing won't fix it.

I'm certain prayer will make it easier to bear.
Keeping your focus on bringing Glory to Jesus helps.
Choosing to Praise the Lord through song does amazing things.
Choosing to TRUST  and surrender yourself and your scramble of thoughts over to God 
lifts a big burden off your soul.

When is it time to speak?
When can you say these words?
When will the words in your heart find a way out in a format that can be heard?
I don't know.

Another thing I'm sure of.
Don't look at me and decide.
Decide I chose wrong or right.
It's not your decision.
And it's not my business what you think of me 
or what you think of what I did.
I only need to make it my business what God 
has to say about what I did or what I am doing.

Also,  I'm watching you.  And I'm not judging you.
I see you're striving for the prize too.
I see you're doing your best.  
It's not how I'd do it.
But how I'd do it isn't the Master plan.
Do it the Master's way and don't worry about who's 
watching.  Do it with kindness.  Smile through those tears. 
Don't hide the tears though.  Cry.  Cry it out.  A strong person can cry and smile.  
I  admire that strength.


Time gives away so many secrets.  
In time we'll know the whole story.
In time the truth will come out.
The truth is in the fruit.
We don't know now.
Time knows so much more than now.
  
Keep saturating yourself in God's truth.
Eliminate extra voices that you don't know.
Hear God, through His word.
Get quiet and alone with him.

THEN.  Be confident
Be kind
Be forgiving
BE the encourager...

We don't know each other's stories.
Be gentle to each other's stories 
SHOW Christ's love.  

That's All.

In My Worship Place

Last time I posted I mentioned being in a quiet spot.      It's curious to me how one can be in a quiet spot internally but super busy externally and then be in a quiet season externally but Internally be in a season of seeking and crying and lonely.      Zerrick and Susanna's reception in our yard is over and my many siblings showing up for us was a cherry on top.   It felt like a relaxed good reception and I spent most of it watching people and listening in on little groups of chatter.      And then the twelve hours with my siblings on Saturday.  God worked it out so I could have tiny little snitches of chat that I could be assured that I got the most of the gift of them even being here.        We all stood around and prayed and cried and sobbed together for a short time before Bruce's left.  Healing.  I still feel emotional about it.  And now it's qu...

A few things...

Okay, I have a whole pile of pictures I'm going to post one of these days. In the mean time....a few more questions to add to my last post.... 1. What do people mean when they say things like, " He/she spoke peace/ blessing/ love/truth or whatever into my heart? How does one get truth spoke into ones heart by another person? Okay, now I expect to hear someone defend themselves for saying this or else clarify to me why it sounds so off the wall......no reading this w/out some input! 2. What else? I was asking about what does it mean to have deeper relationship w/ God. So everyone said ya that's a good thing to desire. Here's my thought. You either have a relationship w/ God or you don't. So then who decides if it's a deeper relationship than....see how can you know? Can you compare? That won't work because God doesn't work like that....putting us on brackets of who is most spiritual. The only way you can use the term in having a deeper relationship w/ Go...

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.
