If the big guy upstairs knows when I sit and when I rise, according to the good book, then at least I know where to go for directions. It also says, if I rise on the wings of the dawn, and settle on the far side of the sea, even there His hand will guide me… and hold me fast, even.

Everyone here should know by now that Psalm 139 is nearest and dearest to my heart. It brings me great comfort, as well as a great sense of courage for whatever I encounter in the world. If all the days ordained for me, were written in his book, before one of them came to be, like the bible says, then I believe it!

The bible is blanketed with God telling us, his children, that He is right here beside us, and if we seek Him, we can follow His plan, His goals.

If you ask how I plan my goals, I will tell you…

As the sun rises in the early morning and I awaken from my sleep, I say good morning Father.

I lay in the pillows for a time, usually He wakes me with a song I had been listening to the day before, but sometimes I hear His whispers of what the day may bring. You may think it odd, but I talk to God constantly, from the time I wake up until I drift off to sleep at night. It is somewhat like having a loved one with you, and no matter where you happen to be, you are never alone.

Anywho… there it is, my friends.

Yes, my husband and I have everyday goals and dreams, like everyone else, and we discuss and plan the best possible way to accomplish them, within our means. But let’s face it! The reality of our world, is a harsh pill to swallow for many today. I find it more realistic to stick with what I can do Today. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow will bring its own blessings and challenges.

As far as a goal goes, I have one… a walk, while the heat of the day is absent. I am off to enjoy the morning out of doors, as they say…

I promise you will love these smoothies, trust me. I make one every day and they are really yummy. I just cannot walk and eat cookies in the morning, it’s counter intuitive, I think.
