Its Only Werds...

My hands are frozen on the keyboard, and not just because the temperature outside is a mere 25 degrees. It does stay cold in the apartment, it would help if someone moved into the vacancy below me! But I have so much to say and nothing will come out. Being an experienced blogger, it is sometimes difficult to post something meaningful that will help someone else grow spiritually. Many times in my other blogs, I simply posted diary-type entries and we all grew together. Sometimes I feel as though the Spirit leads me to post something I experienced because I can tie scripture to it and it feels as though it might help someone.

At this particular point in my life, I am at (not just one, but many) crossroads. The thoughts in my head fly around so quickly and so randomly, to organize and share seems impossible. School starts Jan 5 and I'm not sure I will actually participate this quarter. I have some decisions to make...big ones. Some are a matter of financial survival, some are very personal, some are seemingly silly to consider decisions, those that others might look at and say, "WHAT?!?!?! Do you even have to THINK about that one? THAT's a no-brainer!!!"

So I go shower, put on my favorite 'house-pants'' and curl up on the couch and pray, ponder, think, wait.

May this new year bring tons of blessings to each and every one of you. May you grow in Him beyond what you believe you are able. May He use you for His glory.

Be His, Be Well,

(Today is the last day to post or I get booted...sigh)

...and today is the last Saturday my Marine will be around for a while. He leaves Monday for "MCT" (Marine Combat Training) -- Camp Geiger, N.C. It is entirely possible he will go straight from there to his "MOS" (Military Occupational Specialty [tech school]) in California. That means it is entirely possible he will be gone (when he leaves Monday) for about a year. :\

Today is the day of parenthesis (and I am still gathering my thoughts).

Peace. love, and new potholders.

well, wind out of my sails, i had a story or two and sought fellowship and maybe help, i dunno. but i hush now...and soon i will hold my "baby" in my arms again and he will be a new man. i'm just weary. and i hurt all over -- must be the flu, several of "us" here at home are sick.

 maybe i finish this later, maybe i leave this "place" too. i'm weary of the bashing and hatin'. it's not Christlike. if i was a non-believer and read some of this stuff, i wouldn't want to become a believer.

love one another, again i say -- love one another.

honestly, i have found more loving-kindness and unconditional acceptance at the corner BAR. only other places -- my home, my 'home' church, and at the foot of the cross...gosh.

peace out, nap time for this sickie :'(

Oops, my apologies. I said in Part One, "Oh, story time, kids -- when I post Part Two" and I posted the quiz for Part Two...oh well -- here's that story:

So -- what do YOU know about the truth behind the Christmas stories? I borrowed this little quiz, you might surprise yourself. It has been said that most of what we believe about this celebration, we derive from Christmas carols and stories we have heard and handed down through the ages...hereyago:  (More)

During a message I heard this weekend, the pastor asked if we remembered those traced baby hands the teachers make you do in Kindergarten to draw a turkey for a Thanksgiving greeting. The one sitting beside me who knew, laughed out loud with me and we both got tears. I got one for my Thanksgiving greeting this year. See it?

Oh, God, I am so very thankful for all my many blessings!

This one is still my baby. AMEN!

i share with you, my dear friends, because it is my joy...and i thank Him for you in my life.

Be thankful at all times, giving Him ALL the Glory for He is Worthy! \o/
