...always see it in real time,
the moments when you practice peace
are truly beautiful.
even if it feels like a struggle.
notes...
warm and sultry morning
hubby's negative stress test results
starting to spiral
a short pithy prayer
and the next thing I know
I'm following a nudge to go jump in the lake
for a selfie-baptism
to surrender & wash it all away
*side note
water bottle quote:
"your body is about 60% water
don't forget to give it
a refill "
what voice are you listening to in your life?
ignore the loudest one
listen to the truest one
one positive voice can drown out all others
if you are listening for it
be picky about who you listen to
become picky about your daily inputs
put weeds in and weeds come out
put virtue in and virtue comes out
good thoughts and actions
can never produce bad results
bad thoughts and actions
can never produce good results
be more intentional about
what you feed your mind
listen to the voices who remind you who
you are becoming
and that remind you
that brokenness can be mended
don't sacrifice things that are important to you
to get a little approval or validation from others
refuse to be conformed to the worlds standards
no longer define your sense of worth by
the actions of others
when you love others well
you don't have to worry about what they think of you
claim responsibility for the conditions of your life
sometimes it's dreadfully difficult
but doing so begins an upward spiral
own your own power
or someone else will
improve the quality of your life
by improving the quality of your thinking
keep vigilant watch over your heart
change what you can
there is so much you can change
do what you need to do to take care of yourself
if you can't do anything about the circumstances
you can change your attitude
you can do the work within
and courageously face your issues
remove yourself as a victim
remember the reason you are doing what you're
doing
&
why
give yourself what you need
anchor your soul firmly in hope
you are a unique individual
your mind tends to be as noisy
as your heart is closed
take moments to recharge
be mindful of your limits
wherever you hear God's voice
go there often
there are all kinds of ways to hear from Him
ease up on yourself
let go
stop trying so hard
fill your cup
so you can continue to give love
let yourself be
be well...
xoxo

where the path would go.
Even though you did not know
where tomorrow would lead.
You were headed in the right direction
or where you were meant to be."...

not luxuries.
Without them humanity cannot
survive."

you look into your own heart."
