No offense, everyone, but I don’t feel that this is the place to be asking these sort of questions.
I bear no ill will toward anyone wishing to answer the prompt, but I won’t be reading any answers that are actual grievances toward another… it’s like feeding into something that is already an unhealthy emotion.
Just sayin…
Here, I made everyone cookies that hopefully might represent what one should be producing with their blog sites… good fruit!
Eustace had to take the day off from work, today. He mistook a bottle of Pumpkin Spice Febreze for his morning cologne on Monday…
I’ve been bathing him for two days, but he still smells like a hairy pumpkin pie whenever he walks by.
Actually, it’s quite repulsive!
I found an old post from last spring that I thought rather fitting, if you twist the daily prompt’s meaning just a smidge…
This was one of my ‘Investigating Truths’ episodes, but it seemed fitting, somehow.
For as long as I can remember, I have made sense of myself and this world two realms of thought. One realm of thought is in the actual and physical sense. What we see, do, talk about, eat and feel are in the here and now… The second realm of thought is what I think of as my storybook, or cartoon version if you will. Let’s call this part the “Behind the Scenes of My Truths,” the adventure version.
What follows is written in storybook version…….
I am wild from the top of my head all the way down to my toes! It is all that I can seem to remember of myself. My journeying, or running if I am being truthful, has always found me far out in the desert. For as long as I can remember, there has been a path worn, from one hidden oasis to another, by my feet. I have hidden them well, though, so most that wander by are unaware of my presence. As the years of my life rolled forward, I found that there was One who had been following my footprints, always leaving little packages of love for me. On one of my journeys along the outskirts of the Cities of Souls, I came to realize that the One whom I had sensed, was in fact my True Father! It was both joyful and difficult to become aware of Him.
I stayed…
Before I knew it, time seemed to have sped forward in my journey, by a great many years! I discovered that I had settled down right inside the walls … building relationships with others, and trying to live and do things the way all of the others thought was right. My Father showed me the gifts given to me, but instead of being at peace, I became fearful…I believed that I was losing myself, and would simply become a nothing…moving along by habit…so this wild child ran!!!
I fled into the desert with as much speed possible, for my feet had become softened over time. I tripped many times, stumbling over rocks and debris that had been left on my paths. Had it really been that long? I was not sure if the way had become obstructed or if I had simply forgotten my exact path. Many seasons were spent wandering, clearing out my old and unused paths. Time rolled on…
Oh, I would come near the outskirts, just close enough to remember what I left behind. The intensity of my pain and fear, along with the guilt over my failure, drove me away again and again…
My last act of running into the desert, or defiance as I see it, nearly cost me my very life, but that is for another time. For now, I leave you with this thought…I am still that wild child inside, but my Father has been revealing to me the graceful Phoenix that He is rising up from the ashes of her truth…
You didn’t think I would forget your cookies, did you?
So, I did a clean up of my very first published post, Mighty, which I wrote in 2016. Though I needed to add some pictures, and pretty things up, there wasn’t any editing of the actual content… if it’s not broke, why fix it?!
MIGHTY!!!
I choose to live by faith and trust in Gods word, His truth
I am so very small but He is Mighty
Everything that is good, pure, and beautiful comes from Him…
How can we not stand in awe and wonder of who He is?
There is too much proof for me to doubt Him.
Too many times I have been on my face before him, overwhelmed by things I thought impossible, and I look up to see obstacles crumble before Gods awesome power.
When things seem too big to overcome
just remember to look up
look to His word
look to His truth
And, remember how Mighty His love for us is
There is no battle He won’t wage for us, his creation
His children…
and He will win
for HE IS MIGHTY!!!!!
“The seas have lifted up, O Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves. Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea- the Lord on high is Mighty. Psalms 93:3, 4.
Would you care for a spot of tea,
Come along and have one… or three!
While I know that I answered this prompt question last year, quite honestly, I have no memory of what my answer was. But I can assure you, it won’t be the same answer I give today.
Why?
Because I am so very different now, from who I thought I was, only a year ago!
No, I’m not a different person… but as I grow deeper in my relationship and walk with God, all my thoughts, perspectives, and purposes are in a constant state of flux.
Why?
Because God is the Master Potter… and I am that which he softens, shapes, and molds into who I am forever becoming… the righteousness of God, in Christ Jesus…
That’s Why!
This woman shall now and forever, seek only to bring honor and glory to His name!
Honestly, if you look at my writings from this time last year, they are far different from the way I write currently, as well as what I write about.
At first, blogging was self-therapy! I was just coming off of an eight year writer’s block… that’s 8 brutally long years, my friends… it was awful not to put word to pen, if you will.
Once the writing returned, and I started blogging, there were so many things that I thought I wanted my site to be…
but now?
If you’re wondering why my response is such a lengthy one for such a small prompt question, it’s because I don’t have an actual answer to throw in here, right off the bat!
I suppose if I were pressed to give an on the spot answer, I would hope that this blog would be meant to give love, acceptance and encouragement, rather than seek to receive those things, only for myself.
Maybe, that’s why I always hand out cookies, or tell silly stories and jokes… who knows?
In truth, all of you would be far better judges of what my blog seems to offer, than what I might think up…
Just sayin!
We’re going to check out the new chicken coop that my daughter and her fiancé are building in their back yard.
I can only imagine what the dog’s will think? They have four dogs, so at least nothing will be dumb enough to climb the fence, looking for dinner!
Happy Saturday, folks… hugs
Journey With Me!
