I am here
I cannot breathe
I need to feel joy
I feel agony and pain
I am in NEED!
YOU are here
YOU give me the strength to breathe
YOU lift my eyes up to show me Joy
YOU bear my pain
YOU ARE ALL I NEED!
Do you know YOU?

Peep Peeps…
Spring!
Little ones that were trapped within the grips of winter emerge with such excitement for the outdoors…
Life is bursting in every direction we look…
The days begin to lengthen, and the warmth and life that the sun brings, stirs the heart with thoughts of back yard parties and trips to distant peaceful camping spots…
You have to know that there is really only one thing that spring shouts to me, above all else…
He did not forget about me…
He did not do what He did, for me, for nothing…
He placed the sun and the moon…
He is that which makes things live and grow…
Every time spring arrives, it brings with it the sweet promise of new life, new birth, and new purpose…
The old is dead and gone, and the seeds planted spring up and bloom…
… I wonder if we see more rainbows in springtime than any other part of the year? Now I know that most should agree somewhat on the meaning of a rainbow, that is if we are looking in the same book…
Whatever your book, or material you formulate your ideas from, I welcome you to share with me… I love to share things with you, but I love it even more when you share some of you with me…
Don’t quote me, but, isn’t that what the word prompt questions are for? If it isn’t, well then, don’t I feel silly…NOT!
I Dare You…
When another soul makes the effort to speak words to you, do you make eye contact, do you attempt to connect, or are you to busy with “You”? Tough question, I know! I am not immune to selfishness, to having more on my mind about my things than the hearts of others. This is just a thought, but perhaps we should look up! Look up from ourselves, look up from our cell phones, look up from our lives, successes, failures, SELF!
I am daring to be different, not perfect, just different! I will go down that narrow path, and choose to look up! I need to stop looking at me, or I will miss the ones who need me to look into their eyes, to connect…
BE DIFFERENT!
I dare you!!!
Whaaaattt????

If you or I choose my tagline, the above words are of the like that surface. Unfortunately, the only taglines used for me have been similar to the above, but actually a bit harsher…
#Adulterer
#Whore
#Selfish
#Dirty
#Unlovable
#Liar
The other unfortunate part is that these are all true…
Thankfully God gave me a new tagline, His tagline! You cannot get one better…

Do You Remember…
Houses with Wheels
I have lived in many different styles of residence throughout my life, including what I refer to as houses with wheels. I have mentioned in the past that I had issues with these, one of which was the utter freedom with which creepy crawlies could infiltrate my domicile. Thought of a funny example the other day, cause remember, I am currently living in a 32-foot RV. Call it a funny way for bringing back memories, but I was watching a livestream of my favorite gaming community, Neebs Gaming, and everyone in live chat started laughing about encountering spiders in the worst places. From there, my mind went spinning backward to approximately 10 years ago…
I remember it being summertime, due to the fact that the heat was the cause for all our doors and windows being ajar. My middle daughter and I had been out running errands, and I was the first to race to the bathroom! I lived with a teenager, so I mean race! I thought I had scored a big win as I sat down to do ma thang, but looking to the side for the toilet paper, I changed perspectives really quick! Resting in comfort, directly upon my needed paper, was the biggest Wolf spider I had met, and there had been many (for another story). I am not even going to attempt describing the absolute animalistic form I took while extracting myself from close proximity to the little demon. But I did make it to the bathroom door, just as my daughter arrived to investigate. Later she told me it sounded like the toilet had fallen through the floor (another story for later).
I came up with the brilliant idea for dispatching the offending predator. We were going to hit it with my running shoe from the doorway, that way there would be no one close enough to be eaten. It sounded like a plan for heroic success and my daughter fully supported me, as I was the one with the shoe, and she was safely behind me. The best way for me to explain it is to go play by play here…
I flung that running shoe with the expertise of a pro ball player, aiming directly for the roll of toilet paper, where the ravenous creature was planning our demise
Upon contact, both the running shoe… and the spider… came flying in slow motion back at us
We both screamed, tripped over each other, ran into the bathroom door, slamming ourselves into the same room with a man-eating demon intent on consuming us both…
Don’t be scared, it’s ok! We got out!
Needless to say, my husband came home to find a broken bathroom door, a child busy texting our near-death experience to her friends, and a wife sporting a small doorjamb impression on her cheek, with a tale to tell…
The only thing I can take…

Your never gonna guess…
Psalms 139
O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
You perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
You are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.
You hem me in—behind and before;
You have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, If I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost being;
You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake, I am still with you.
If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord, and abhor those who rise up against you?
I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”

But I have no Doubt who gave it to me!
