   In my book, there is nothing worse than having someone tell you you can't sing well enough, or you can't play piano well enough to be on our team....  What does God say about that though?  He says to study and shew thyself worthy." Right?  He says make a Joyful" noise.  I am so thankful that it does not say, "perfect noise."     There are some people though, that think they are crème de' la crème....the cream of the crop.  My mission is to break that cycle of thinking within the Christian body anyways.  It seems like church people can be the worst to criticize each others talents.  I have never been able to understand that.  Don't get me wrong, I love going to church and being with my Christian family, otherwise I would not blog about it.     I am thankful that He gave me a chance and has mercy, that's who I sing and play for.. to praise God.  I try to just close my eyes and pretend no one else i...

Off Balance There are days it seems I have Too much upon my plate. Whether this is good or not Is up for some debate. On the plus side, it feels fine To hustle and keep busy; But the negative is that I’m often in a tizzy. Running ‘round with chores to do And friends to meet is great. Sometimes with so many plans It’s hard to keep them straight. Other times, though, when I check, My calendar is bare. Then I wonder why it is I’ve so much time to spare. It’s rare, in life, to balance Purpose, flow and relaxation, Unless you’ve left it all behind And gone on a vacation!

In a lonely place, by Stephen Crane In a lonely place, I encountered a sage Who sat, all still, Regarding a newspaper. He accosted me: "Sir, what is this?" Then I saw that I was greater, Aye, greater than this sage. I answered him at once, "Old, old man, it is the wisdom of the age." The sage looked upon me with admiration.

Jesus began all things with prayer. Obviously Prayer is an important essential day to day task in all our lives.  We were watching a moving last night, and this character that didn't even attend church anywhere,  agreed that praying, if anything else, made him feel better.    In yoga,  there is an exercise where you lift your head above your heart.  This is proven scientifically to help oxygen flow properly.  God designed our bodies in order to worship Him.  So praying is one of those tools He gave us to be able to talk with Him.  If we need something, praying is how we need to ask God to help us.   He wants us to talk to Him everyday, He enjoys hearing from us all the time, no matter how big or small.  Praying is merely a conversation between us and God.  Just talk normally when you pray.  He will listen.  35  And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed ...

Recently I got a ball winder and a swift.  I honestly do not know where I have been without these two items. The ball winder and the swift can be purchased on amazon. ( My affiliate links are listed below in the comments.)  The ball on the left side is what my handiwork used to look like and the ball on the right is what they look like now.  I am so thankful that I have these two items. The analogy reminds me of how God works in our lives as well.   He gives us the tools so we can look all nice and neat for Him, we just have to be willing to use them.  Hope you have an awesome weekend ! and as always #BeBlessed!

Why God made friends Author Unkown God made the world with a heart full of love, Then He looked down from Heaven above, And saw that we all need a helping hand, Someone to share with, who'll understand. He made special people to see us through The glad times and the sad times, too; A person on whom we can always depend, Someone we can call a friend. God made friends so we'll carry a part Of His perfect love in all our hearts.
