Too light, too dark, too mean, too nice, too quiet, too talkative, don’t have this, should of had that, too fat, too flat, too pretty, not pretty enough, too broke, just broke, too “saved” (is that possible?), still missing “the mark”, too much of this, but not enough of that…..gotta stay below the radar and fly above the storm clouds all at the same time yet stay relevant to the Call and purpose for my life…..at the end of the day I just want to see Jesus …sighs

I Will Be Here
You know…I have loved this song for a long time. Through the years, its’ meaning has become so much richer in my heart. One day I want this song to play at my wedding, but I just don’t want it to play….I want it to be real in my heart and I want it to be a real expression of the love that my husband will have in his heart toward me. I can’t imagine saying, “I Do”, with feelings any less than what is written in this song, I mean come on, this is worth waiting for, but I pray that God give me the wisdom to know when I am presented before such gift……

Seasons Change
What is it about September that is so glorious? Maybe it is because I know that October, my very favorite month is just next door? Maybe it is because we are approaching the time of year when the traditions that steep our lives become so prevalent…family dinners, warm apple ciders, pumpkins, bonfires and firepits, turkey dinners, Christmas, gift exchanges……
I don’t know why this year, my heart buzzes with the thought of the changing leaves? So are the seasons on Earth and such are the seasons in our lives. I think Autmun gives us a perfect example to know that change is not always a bad thing, really it can be quite beautiful and every leaf that falls in our lives will nurture the next season that has yet to dawn in our eyes….Helen
Everything That Glitters
Country singer, Dan Seals, sang a song titled, Everything that Glitters is Not Gold. Funny how the shiny things catch the eye and for a moment you think that you really have something special and the things that really mattered and were true are tossed to the side ….and for what…something so superficial but yet feeds the eye of pride and the fickleness of desires. Oh but time……time is the best teacher of the foolish decisions that one has made. Time is the best teacher of what is lost, never to be gained again. Time wears off the “shiny”, the “glitter” that first catches the eyes and it shows that everything that glitters is not gold….it had no value at all but to rob you of what was really true to you.
Keep It Moving
It is okay to “keep it moving”, just make sure that you are moving in the right direction.
Peace, Helen
