By Dean Martin : an  oldie but goody








Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
That sometime is now

Everybody finds somebody someplace
There's no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying
My someplace is here

If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charms
Then every minute, every hour
Everybody would find what I found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody sometime
And though my dreams were overdue
Your love made it all worth waiting
For someone like you

If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charms
Then every minute, every hour
Everybody would find what I found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody sometime
And though my dreams were overdue
Your love made it all worth waiting
For someone like you

Cruising .....2012

I could live in Paradise ~ beautiful blue skies, beautiful blue water ~ Beautiful Bahamas ~ 

Thank you God

I WANT TO BE KNOWN

I want someone to look at my face
And not just see two eyes, a nose,
a mouth and two ears
But to see all that I am, and could be
all my hopes, loves and fears…

And YOU know me
You actually know me
all of me and everything about me
Every thought inside and hair on top of my head
Every hurt stored up, every hope, every dread
My past and my future, all I am and could be
You tell me everything,
You tell me about ME
And that which is spoken by another would bring hate and condemnation
Coming from You brings love, grace, mercy, hope and salvation
I’ve heard of One to come
who could save a wretch like me
And here in my presence, You say
I AM HE…

Is it nap-time ....:)

Actually scripture is in the Bible about sleep....yep, I had to read twice before I could adjust my sleepy eyelids.  Proverbs 3:24 "When you lie down your sleep will be sweet" .....

any of you take power naps??? OOOOHHHHHH ~ don't those two words send tingles down your spine....I anticipate naps lately ~ I need them ~ I'm going to get them ....The word is out in studies that sleep helps you become thin...so guess what I'm going to  do  sleep , sleep and sleep ~ ha ha ....A nap is a mini vacation, catching your breath , checking the eyelids for leaks .....I love sleep, I can't get enough sleep lately . 

Did you know that during sleep your brain came come up with solutions to your problems ? yep, there have been studies that show you can do problem solving in your sleep, another good reason to take a nap. You see I'm trying to justify my sleepiness of life lately ~ I try to solve my life by sleeping you say? OK ....sounds good . even Mozart claimed to have composed music in his dreams ......just think of what I might come up with....Oh , help us Lord ....Even Jesus took naps, he would go for a rest and encouraged his disciples to do the same...don't you just love how I'm justifying my sleep....God said it and I believe and that's good enough for me ...

I read that woman are like oatmeal, we start out with little bubbles and than by 2pm we are hot and bubbly so we need to simmer....by closing our eyes and reducing the BOOP (Boiling Oatmeal overflow Phenomenon) turning off the burner and allowing the oatmeal to calm down to a pleasant servable consistency and adding brown sugar everyone is happy !!! 

Another beautiful Sunday here in Indiana.....I hope it's beautiful where you are ~ enjoy this day my friends, God is good and I'm so thankful he has designed NAPS ....rest well today , may his grace and mercy be new in your life each day .....may you be granted your heart's desire ~ oh, and don't forget the nap, I will be taking one around 2  ,,,,,, I'm looking forward to my NAPTIME ...

Restlessness ~

It's early in the morning. Quietness falls throughout the walls of home. Snow is gently falling .; my heart is anxious and I cannot sleep. Ever had nights like this? Quiet my thoughts Father God, Quiet my heart , Quiet my soul. Once again I ask for confirmation that you have everything in control..... Here is what I need to have in order to proceed with my day .....

 1. Faith – Do I believe it, taking hold of it, and acting on it? Do I have enough faith that God is listening and answering me. 

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. (Heb. 11:6)

2. Healing- In order to have a new mindset,  I  need to be healed from my past. Do I  still struggle with that Unforgiveness, bitterness, ill feelings towards someone,  or envy? I have to pray on it, ask God to heal my heart and let go and bless them with my prayers. Ever heard of that saying, “you can’t pray for someone you hate.” Think about it.

3. Fear- Whoa! A big word that can be a stronghold to ME. What does FEAR mean ?
It actually means: False Evidence Appearing Real. 
Have I allowed fear to take a hold of ME? Am I  not trusting God enough (look at #1)? Difficult to cast my  cares on the Lord? Fear can strap me down and won’t allow me to go where God wants me to go. It won’t allow peace, joy, or comfort. If I have enough faith, fear will have no place.
Jesus said, My yoke is easy and burden is light (Matt 11:30)

4. Self-Doubt- Do I  believe in myself?  Am I confident? Is fear strapping me down? Don’t I  have enough faith?
It’s okay to be out of my comfort zone. It’s okay to reach for more. Allow God to use me and He will do the unimaginable. Applying this  verse to my heart. One of my most favorites in the Bible, clinging to it today......
Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us (Ephesian. 3:20)

Please Father God ,don’t let doubts, fear, and anxiety hold me down! Renew my mind, let me meditate on the things of God, His Word, His love, His mercy and grace. When I have these things down I will be able to pour into the lives of my family, friends, and reach people for Christ, only then I  will experiment the fullness of Christ, unspeakable joy, overflowing love, and a peace that surpasses all understanding.

Renewing my mind ,  Praying  often. Seeking  God and being hungry for Him.

Prayers invested is never time wasted. So, it's early ~ spending time with my Heavenly Father ....calming the restlessness ......Peace , Peace wonderful Peace flowing down from the Father above sweep over my spirit forever I pray in fathomless billows of LOVE ......
