Time well spent!




''

We’ve all gone into the same scenario and have said it time in time again. “How come Bad things follow me and why won’t they leave me alone?” all the times we said that we realized that in conclusion,  It all turned out for the best!! But that does that mean that we were engaged in the torment that we’re all good about it.. Hell, some of the torments, I’ve been through are exactly that….. hell!! but we are reminded that every season has a purpose and a part to play in the bigger story of our lives!! As much as we may try we cannot undo what’s done. We all live within its boundaries but they don’t have to hold us captive!! We can welcome each new season, knowing that in time we discover more about the sovereign one over every   Moment -Past, Present & Future!  

 It's OK for you to want to be on the comfortable side of Solomon's equations - healing, building, laughing, dancing, and loving. But for us to just bypass times of restlessness, loss, and sorrow would ultimately rob us of the necessary and beautiful process of Growth. No one wants pain! But we can learn to embrace it and feel what it stirs inside us... a deep, desperate longing for the presence of our savior!!  Time is sacred because it is God's gift to us. But that does not mean, we won't go through all the twists in turns of life but for those who linger in the presence of Jesus then every season and every circumstance becomes an opportunity to know Him more fully. 
We will still struggle to make sense of time because we create more than just monetary experiences,  temporary pleasures, and short-lived victories. Forever is written in our souls;  a desire for something more permanent is woven into our DNA.  The result is a desperate longing for the One who has remained the same for all eternity. So we can go through these ever-changing seasons, by holding fast to our never-changing God and we can rest assured that every moment in his hand is time well spent!!

Fire , Fire, Fire.....

I sometimes wonder if everyone would be much happier if I were just gone! Always causing problems and getting in the way of someone's progress. Tonight, the toaster oven caught on fire because my husband refused to clean out the grease trap after he used it. The last time I cleaned it, which was only a couple - 3 weeks ago, it was so nasty and full of grease that even my concoction of baking soda & vinegar had a hard time cutting through it. I told him that it wasn't fair for me to have to clean it every time, and that he should be wiping it down after each use. I even told him last night how much grease was in there, but he ignored me. After the fire happened, he decided to blame me for it. Technically it's my fault because I had pizza in the oven and then had to cut up my daughter's rotisserie chicken, even though I wasn't feeling well. I asked her for a container, but she gave me one with the lid still on it, so I had to ask her to take it off for me. While I...

Here we go!

 I always said I needed to start writing a journal to document my day, my thoughts.....my oh so insane life. Since I am on the computer allot whether it be facebook or coupon sites, I figure what better place than to do it here. LOL...how self centered to think anyone would even want to read it?!!  I had initially started with facebook to communicate to family and friends how the kiddos were doing but is anyone else annoyed at how facebook is getting to be so similar to myspace??  So NOT what I wanted......so here goes...lets give this a whirl! I have no clue what I am doing right now so this is a test........

IT's been quite the hiatus......

I never intended on being gone long but not 10 years! In some ways, it seems like 10 years have passed but in other ways, it doesn't seem that long.  As I begin to think about all that has transpired in the 10 years since I began this blog. As I am writing, I am getting seriously anxious thinking about how much content is absent and just how much content is needed to correct the timeline!   This is not what I had intended this exercise to be.  I wanted this to be a haven where I could go and just dump all my thoughts.  I need this because I was finding myself texting people books of my thoughts and just writing whatever the fuck I wanted with absolutely no regard to editing…what's that!?!  Even the recipients would comment on the length and would still not get it! Finally! One day, It dawned on me that maybe I shouldn't be so sharing my innermost thoughts! At the very least tempered those thoughts from your friends and maybe redirect them to your…. my what? What...
