Everything...

The majority of people will seek God only when their world's are falling apart...when they get bad news...when they've lost a love...when nothing is going right in their life...

To truly worship and serve God... you do so when everything is RIGHT in your life. When life is good and bills are paid, your car is running, your job is going well,  and you're happy... to choose to worship God and give Him your life at that time in your life.

LOVE this song!... because even when my world is absolutely perfect!... God IS all I want! He is all I truly need... He is my everything!... Having everything go "right" in my life lately hasn't made me neglect worshiping my heavenly Father...on the contrary... I'm giving HIM all the praise for everything that is going right in my life!  I'm not going to leave His presense...for that is where I find my peace of spirit. Not in the fact that my life is going smoothly... that's just bonus...because I know that it's God's plan for my life... I can't wait to see what else He has planned!

How could it get any better than this?!....

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?... get in His presence... then ask...



"Everything" by Lifehouse (youtube it:)

Find Me Here
Speak To Me

I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.


You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?


You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?


How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?


Cause you're all I want, You're all I need
You're everything,everything
You're all I want your all I need

You're everything, everything.
You're all I want you're all I need.
You're everything, everything
You're all I want you're all I need, you're everything, everything.


And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?


How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?



It doesn't get any better than being wrapped in your Father's arms resting in His peace of spirit... no matter what is going on in your worldly life... being in His presence is the absolute BEST!...

Whirl wind...

This has to be extremely short as I'm caught in a whirlwind right now!... I will have MUCH to write about later when time allows...

God is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Which I have ALWAYS known... but... what He's been doing in my life these last three weeks is beyond anything I have ever experienced before!!

I'm so excited and pumped up to see what His plans are for my life because the corner has been turned and the road I thought I was going down, has been changed...

I'm standing firm in my faith that God IS in control of my life and that He has amazing plans for my future!!

NEVER EVER give up! Even when you are at your darkest moments... God IS still there with you... patiently waiting for you to give Him the control over your life that He needs to mold you and make you...

Everything that you walk through in life is a necessary stepping stone to get you to where you need to be in life. God knows and sees the whole big picture... we sometimes can't see the forest because of the trees...

I'm still standing firm in my faith... still waiting to see exactly where my future is leading me, knowing that God IS in control and He's got an amazing adventure planned out for me! I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings! :)

Game of "Sorry"....

Life is sometimes like the game, "Sorry". Have you ever played the board game? I've played the game since I was a child and my children have their own now.

To be continued... it's my turn to go...

It's raining... it's pouring... the old man is...

It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snouring...

 Learned that song as a child and sing it to my children today... it's a catchy tune...

It's raining, it's pouring... I'm out dancing and singing... I changed the words some...

it's a great metaphor for life sometimes. When you seem to be having bad luck and have lots of things going wrong... it's definitely feels like it's raining on you and then if that bad luck continues it feels like it's pouring down on you.

In those times of things not going the way you'd like... what do you do? How do you react?


sorry, this has to be discontinued... for it happens to be pouring down on me right now in my personal life... and I need to get to the emergency room it appears.

But,  just so you know the answer to my question for me... is: I dance. I praise and worship. I pray and I thank God for being with me during the trials and helping to give me the strength I need to keep on keeping on. Because life isn't about whether or not everything is perfect. Happiness is about whether or not you choose to be happy despite the nonperfect world in which we live. The devil can have his fun and try to stress me out and bring me down... but it's not going to effect the fact that I stand tall and firm in my faith in my God in heaven whom loves me very much and will never leave me. The rain can pour from the sky... I will still dance!

Comfortable...

Humans like to do what's most comfortable... What's easy... what's known...

Not that there is anything wrong with doing what we know and find to be easy and comfortable...  but...

Sometimes in life we are required to do things that are uncomfortable...awkward...unknown and scary even... sometimes in life we have to step outside our comfort zone to brave new worlds in order to grow and mature and become whom we were meant to be. Sometimes we are given a choice in the matter... sometimes we are forced into a change.

Sometimes the door seems to be closing on us before we are able to get out (mentally ready for the change)...  those times are the hardest.  We, by nature want things easy, comfortable and what we know and when we are put into a position of having to go down a new path in life that is not anything like we had been walking without a choice, without warning... it takes some time to adjust. But... you can't take too much time,  OR the door will end up slamming on your toes! 

In some respects, I'm not like most people. I like change, for the most part. I should say I adjust easily to most change. I look at life changes as adventures. And just by use of the word adventure to me, means fun! Because how can you go on an adventure and not have fun?! I look at life as an adventure everyday. Some days are more fun than others. Having your best friends to go on adventures in life with makes it so much better. I used to not be able to get together with friends to share life with them because my ex husband wouldn't let me and didn't want to have any friends to have get togethers with. Everytime I would try to have friends over he'd pout like an infant and just be so hard to get along with and then he'd be rude when they were there, that it just wasn't worth the trouble. He'd never watch our children so I could go out with friends.

So... now that I'm single, I can have friends over, I can get together with friends and share my life and their lives. I can be free to be whom I was meant to be. It's so very refreshing!... I will never go back to being with a man that does not want friends and get togethers with friends. For friendship is a gift from God. Why would I want to give back an awesome amazing gift like that?! I have been blessed with some truly amazing friends! I have lost my best friend (ex boy) which was one of those life changes I was talking about. Sometimes those things happen in life... it's sad... it's hard... it takes adjustment... but if I don't let go of that, I may miss out on something better that God has planned for me. So, out of my comfort zone I went a year ago.

It's not been an easy year to tell you the truth. It's hard to learn how to let go of something you have such a tight grip on your heart with. It's been a mental adjustment in thinking you had a future with someone and then discover that it's not going to work out afterall. That adjustment... is not really what I'd call the adventure type. (lol!)... Going out on dates with perfect strangers is an adventure!... Though, again NOT really an adventure I'd like to keep living! Sometimes in life you have to set limits to the amount of  'fun' you can allow yourself to experience!... I've met my limit of that type 'fun' in the dating department for awhile... a long while.
But that's okay... I have some awesome friends to hang out with and share our lives together... you don't always need to have a significant other.


In order to grow... we must be stretched.  The potter can't mold the clay without making it look out of shape in the process. The potter doesn't give up at that point. Because he has the image in his head of what he is sculpting and how it will look when it's completed. There are different steps and stages to making a work of art. They don't just happen.

God's our potter... He's working everyday that we allow Him to work in us to mold us and shape us into His own unique work of art. Sometimes that means that we are put into uncomfortable positions in life. Positions that require us to reach deep into the core of our beings and pull from ourselves maturity and self awareness and the desire to want to grow and become truly whom we were meant to be. And in as much as it makes us super uncomfortable and uneasy and scared of what's happening to us and where our lives are going... we have to remain faithful to our God and King, the Master Potter whom is simply trying to make an amazing work of art that He can use for His Kingdom to bring Honor and Glory to Him. 

So, mold me and shape oh God for it is you that I am living my life for!
