We are heading out on a mini road trip to

celebrate Christmas with hubby's side of the family today.

I have been struggling with some things,

and the thing is, 

is that I know better....and I can't help it.

But I know I can help it.

So it's something I'm aware of...

and pushing through.

This picture pretty much sums it up nicely.

As I stood at the counter waiting for my coffee to brew this morning,
I saw the picture of Donatello (Ninja turtle),
(my great nephew drew for me last Summer)
hanging on the fridge.
It connected me to my family many miles away...all over...gone.
 It fueled me with their strength, endurance, perseverance and love.
It reminded me of who I am.
Where I came from, and what fuels me.
It lifted my head & perked me up before the coffee ever hit
my mouth.



Some journal nuggets for today...

You don't need to be afraid of anything.

As you grow closer to God, He opens your eyes
to see more of Him.

He wants you to go to Him. Always.

The more you focus on your unworthiness the more you struggle
& distance yourself from God.
His loving arms await you.

Take heart. He has absolute authority over 
everything in creation.

He will protect you and provide whatever you need.

Never doubt Him because of your lack of understanding
about your circumstances.

He is good and fully worthy of your devotion and trust.

Nothing can touch you except what He allows.
He has His purposes & in His perfect way & timing,
will bring blessings from everything you face if
you'll continue to trust Him.

Nothing that touches your life is a mistake.

Live and let live.

Remember who you are.

Keep it simple.

Don't second guess yourself.

Remain true to yourself.

Unity starts with yourself.
Get things together inside you own head.

God will show you the path of life.

Accept what is. Simply bear witness without wanting to change it.

Handle all things in love.
Love others.
Love yourself through every experience.
Walk with God and watch for miracles.

Stand tall as you journey through your life.

" You yourself, as much as anyone in the
Universe, deserve your own love & affection."
~Buddha~

and my favorite quote of the day....

"There is a basket of fresh bread on your head,
yet you go door to door asking for crusts."
~Rumi~

be well...
