Trust
Insightful Words
I worry a lot. I don’t want to. I want to trust that God has everything in his hands – which He does. As I think about events in my life – both good and bad – I can see that when I trusted God and moved forward, He has always been there to help […]
Hearts United Forever
My mom and I are happy that Dancing With the Stars new season has begun. We watched it tonight. Each competitor told about their most memorable year and incorporated that into their dance. There were some very moving stories – both happy and sad. The story that touched me the most came from Doug Flutie […]
Great Trust
Yesterday I went to a pool therapy session. One of the participants was a middle aged blind man. He was brought by his mother who helped him find the changing room and get all set. Then she helped him find his way around the pool to a chair to await the instructor. Once he was […]
Airport Driver
Tonight was the weekly “retreat” that I have been going to. The topic for the evening was trusting in God. It is necessary for our spiritual growth, but isn’t always easy to do. I seem to go back and forth. Sometimes I hang on to whatever control I might have and other times I can more […]
God Was Already There
So, I had to make a potentially difficult phone call this afternoon. I thought of it shortly after I woke up and the anxiety set in. I prayed about it and after only a bit I felt that God was already in the situation and not to worry. I thanked God for the insight and […]
It’s Good to be Little
I thought I was doing pretty good reading my book for the “retreat” I am participating in. We meet once a week for 10 weeks and have a reading assignment for each week. I looked over the schedule again this morning and realized that I still had quite a bit to read. After getting the daily […]
Needy and Safety
This evening I drove my dad to a meeting that was held in the downtown area of the city. Since the meeting was about 2 hours long, I decided to stick around and do a little shopping. I hadn’t really explored downtown in many years. I drove slowly down one of the main streets and […]
Late For Advent
Sunday was the first day of Advent. I started getting Advent reflections in my email but the past few days have been so hectic, I haven’t even been looking at them. I was already feeling guilty for not starting right away and now being late. Today it was time to get back on track. The […]
Shared Words of Wisdom
My mom finished her second week of voice therapy and is doing a good job practicing at home. Now for one of her exercises, she reads inspirational quotes out loud. I am sure this is dual purpose – it helps to strengthen her voice AND her spirit. I have enjoyed listening to them as well […]
Decisions Made
You know that pile of papers that just builds higher and higher? I just don’t understand why it is so difficult to keep up with. I have been trying to work on mine a little every day. I finally got most of them sorted out and got some filed away. Today I got my medical insurance […]
