2015 Seasons of life....ITS OK

August 31st, 2015
SEASONS.....

Can you believe it? August flew by ....here we are once again ...going into cooler months. I'm amazed how we change over time. we go through seasons of life. Sometimes it feels like yesterday that I was that 9 year old who lost her mother . Other times I marvel that I'm a grandmother to 7 precious hearts. What joy and happiness they bring into my Season of life . Do you search the season of life you are in and wonder what you are suppose to be doing, or maybe even act through this span of life?
Middle 50's , goodness gracious. Here I am. Trying to be still so I get it perfect . OOPS did I say perfect .....I did. God has really been speaking to be about it's OK not to be OK ~ it's OK to be still.
Take time for myself. To reschedule events if my life gets out of balance. To ask of those to be patient with me. To love me where I'm at . (sometimes I don't know where I'm at , that's OK too)
What we want in life and what our Heavenly Father wants for us can be two different roads. I have to decide which road to take. you can bet your sweet bippy I will follow the path God has for me. His road is perfect. Does that mean no bumps and bruises along the way? Nope. WE all experience those valley's , we also experience the mountain tops. In the valley is where you grow. it's green, luscious, BUT there can be much pain , walking a rutty road, tripping and falling many times. Our eyes taken off the Savior. Running after our own desires. UNTIL. God gets our attention ....He tells us NOT yet. NOT Time. Pay attention ...Go back , do over. We kick at the dirt, the stones, we have pity parties. we didn't get our way. Whew, Praise Jesus we didn't ~ I love this quote written
"There are some things you can't learn from others.

You have to pass through the fire." Norman Vincent Peale ~ and passing through the fire we did . I did. is that to say no more fires, no more tests ahead? all will be smooth sailing. UH, I'm afraid that answer will be NO, Have I learned ? YES, Have I moved. YES. I'm grateful for the GRACE of God that he has given me over this last year. My OH My ....He let me make choices. Some have been engraved in my inner being and will never be forgotten. I've come out stronger. I'm a Jesus girl. He loves me . and I love HIM. He holds my future in his hands. I'm looking forward to more Seasons in my life. one thing that is constant is Jesus, he is the same, NEVER changes. I praise him for his constant in me. How I love him . Have a great last August day , make it a memory ...I am. 

Hello November,

Crispy, Orange, Golden, Apple Cider, candy corn and peanuts, those are a few of descriptive words for November .....the season is fall....the trees start to drop their coverings that they've had for months, they do not have coats of protection but are standing out in the chill ....bending to and fro , experiencing the winds whipping around them.
There are days when I feel the chill ~ I'm not a winter girl....but love love the warmth , the feeling of being loved and cared about . Guess we all want praise don't we. we are human ...time flys , time stands still.....time is time we must live for the day, time is short, that was the longest day ever. we express so many expressions goodness. But the greatest is to LOVE one another as God has called us to! well have a beautiful Golden  Harvest day my friends. ...Rejoice for we are blessed 

Are you in the winter of your life ?

Please read and heed, time passes at the speed of LIFE (light). Don't leave anything undone or unsaid that you may look back on and say "I wish we had...........". Been there and tried that ! ! !

You know... time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years.

It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. And yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went.

I know that I lived them all..

And I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams.

But, here it is -- the winter of my life and it catches me by surprise.

How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go?

I remember well...

seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.

But, here it is... my friends are retired and getting gray, they move slower. Some are  in better and some worse shape than me, but, I see the change.

Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant...

but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd be. Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day!

And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will, I just fall asleep where I sit!

And so...

now I enter into this new season of my life -- unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!!

But, at least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will last ... this I know, that when it's over...it's over.

Yes , I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done, things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy  to have done.

It's all in a lifetime.

So, if you're not in your winter yet, let me remind you that it will be here faster than you think.

So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly!

Don't put things off too long! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether this is your winter or not!

You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life...

so, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember, and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!!

"Life is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one."

LIVE IT WELL!

ENJOY TODAY!

DO SOMETHING FUN!

BE HAPPY!

BE THANKFUL!

 

AND HAVE CHRIST IN YOUR LIFE!

Another beautiful summer day ~ Good evening everyone , time is slipping by , warm days , sunshiny nights. Good food, fellowship and love spread throughout the day . we try not to think of tomorrow and live fully for the day . my mind wonders to the next days worries , why do we worry and is it really worth it . I don't think so, God does have control of all the hills and the corn and potatoes planted ~ we must continually give praise and glorify the Lord for the blessings he gives to us daily wow , wouldn't know where I would be there's so many hauty things that are happening in this world ...so what's happening to you ....what are you doing? I miss seeing you on the FB page , writing thoughts liking pages , not like it use to be ....things are changing , we climb , we run, we sit, we wait , we hug, we cry, we love , we have tears , but the ultimate is accepting and loving ..so if you could let me know how you are doing ...

Has it been that long

Wow, friends I haven't been on here for months....I need to get back to journalism ....Summer has come , it came early ~ it's rather warm ~ very little rain ....reminds me of my spiritual  life at times the desert of the soul  I thirst for that living holy spirit the abundance of living water , running over fulfilling the emptiness of life . Life has been hard, Life has been good ~ God said I will never leave you or forsake you ....I cling to his promises , his filling of my thirsty soul ~ my prayer lately has been


 Father God, I truly am thankful for my blessings. But it is quite another thing to be thankful in the hard times and with the unanswered questions of life. Thank you for understanding it is not easy for me. Thank you for showing me that when I can’t be thankful for the hard stuff, You remind me to just be thankful in the hard stuff – for it is in the hard stuff where Your character of faithfulness will be proven over and over to me. Thank you for the confidence that You will see me through. Help me to lean hard on Your strength, and wisdom and care. Thank you that You will build a track record in my life through Your faithfulness. You enable me to be thankful in hard times because You are my God and You can be trusted with my life – even in the hard stuff! In Jesus name I pray, Amen.


Seasons come and seasons go we have people who come into our lives as a reason season and lifetime what are you in my life .....I hope a forever and if not thank you for being a part what ever part you played ~ <3<3
