Seems like I go almost a year between posts. I've got to do better...I know I don't have to but I do like it and it helps.  Lots of things changing; lots of things staying the same. Trying to take care of my mother, but it's hard watching her get worse almost daily. She is not so far that she doesn't know us or anything, but her short term memory is very bad. Even some of her long term memory is being affected now.

Well, it's been a week again for sure! but at least it's finally Friday. 

It's bittersweet though, I'm glad to be off work a few days but being home two days, not alone...well, you know the thoughts there.  One day, I hope, it'll be possible again.  Have my own place with my own things and my own time.  People say I need to move out, just tell Mom I'll check on her and help her, but move out on my own.  I can't though. I can't leave her there, alone. As each day passes I realize it more and more. I pray a cure is found soon and can be used immediately but my heart says no, it won't and it can't even if it was found today.

Lord, remind me to look to the hills...I need to look up because looking down is getting me nowhere but sad. Remind me of your faithfulness, goodness and compassion. Remind me when I fall, your hand is there to help me up. Remind me of your loving kindness that fails not. Remind me, Remind me Dear Lord.

Hello! I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.  We had a nice one. Quiet and nice.  I can't believe it's Sunday already though. I've enjoyed the time off for sure!

I wanted to share some things I've been looking over, thinking about, researching.  Bible Journaling. At first I was like "There is no way I could draw in my Bible!" I mean, yes I highlight or underline special verses, make a few notes in the margins, etc...but draw? no way.  Then, in my research, I realized first the alternative ways of doing this, using a Bible designed for journaling, or a separate journal along with my Bible. But more importantly I realized it's a special way of Worship; a special way to speak to Him, to hear from Him and to express my thoughts and feelings to Him.  

We were created to worship God, to commune with Him and to serve Him.  David danced before God when the Ark of the Covenant was returned; Adam walked and talked with God; Mary, Lazarus' sister, worshiped at His feet, and the Disciples followed Him during His Ministry.

Today, we have other ways to worship, more than the basic ways and ways even our parents could never imagine. Why not take advantage of the many ways we have, I thought.  So I think that's what I'm going to try to do, worship in different ways, besides the "basics". 

I hope to use my blog as an outlet and as a medium to share my experiences.  Won't you walk with me, on my journey? I pray you will.  Take care and, until next time, blessings

Oh my goodness!  I'm so proud of my Panthers!

We're on such a roll...and I'm enjoying the ride!

Go Panthers!!

 

Well, here I am again....only five years later.  Lots has happened since 2010, some good, some bad...but here I am, still here!  I want to try this again, see if I can make it work....I have no peace at home, a place to be by myself, but maybe this will help...give me a place to go, thing to do, a place to share my heart, thoughts, feelings and ideas.  I hope you don't mind while I explore...thanks for letting me try.

Blessings,

Been quite a while since I've posted anything to my blog. I decided to start fresh. I think I need this: an outlet, somewhere to put down some things. Not everything but somethings. I hope you don't mind. We can see how this evolves, or if it evolves. I am willing to try, are you? if there is a "you".
