Value what is true...

 ...and right

simply because it is true,

not only because it happens

to feel true.

notes....

it feels so good to have an unrushed morning

there's a lovely Wrenn song on the porch

 the chimes are gently blowing in a refreshing breeze

& hubby's checking the rain gauge from last nights light shower

I love getting away

I love coming home & catching up 

and I love those moments when it all settles down again

into a more natural rhythm

some parts of the day are for stillness & listening

others for sowing

make room for both

find your own rhythm

anything is worth doing if it's done

with love

and nothing is worth doing if

it comes at love's cost

hold your priorities up to love's

test

throw yourself into anything 

that passes

when you feel inadequate to serve God

remember that what He expects from you

is different from what you think

fact-check your beliefs against God's word

you don't have to have your daily steps

figured out

every second of the day

be attentive

He will show you His will

He teaches you how to do so

He will redirect you if you make

a wrong turn

do not fear going forward

No matter how badly you mess up

He will take the broken pieces of your

life and glue them back together

with His unconditional Love

if you never push through your discomfort

you will never find the understanding

& wisdom that awaits you on the other side

discomfort is a gift

it brings a  deeper meaning to life

growth occurs after a difficulty

you become polished through pressure

not ease

focus on one thing at a time

focus on what you enjoy about what you do

& the spaces in between the doing

instead of feeling weighed down by it all

decide that you live a sweet life

there's the rushed pace of the human-made world

& the natural world that invites you to be still

take the invitation

"Now these three remain;

faith, hope, and love.

But the greatest of these is love."

1Corinth 13:13

what you do with your love is 

what you did with your life

trust that the timing of everything

will come together in the 

way it is meant to

be well...

that causes us so much trouble."

"Balance isn't fitting everything in.

It's starting with what's important

and letting the rest fall as it will."

"Mental health is sooo important.

If you  need a day, take a day.

Find something to relax you.

Bubble bath, nature, writing,

painting, etc.

Just do it."
