Just some random observations I've made over the past few weeks....
God's Word literally changes my personality...just ask those living in close proximity to me! Been a bit of a dry spell...actually laziness on my part. Unfortunately, those around me pay. So.very.sorry.
When you talk with someone about the "just in case something happens while I am gone" end of life wishes for your dog and they respond, "I don't want to have to make that decision, but I will" and they get a bit choked up...you KNOW you've picked the right person to take care of one of the things that has deep place in your heart!
There is nothing more appealing to me than a man who has good character. One who has the grit to do the right thing, the wisdom to seek counsel on questionable issues, the determination to not look for a way around the rules but rather to either follow or change them, and the guts to confront an issue. This gem is a rarity...
Conversely, there is nothing that garners my inability to respect quicker than poor character. Like Cubic Zirconia...you can find them everywhere! 'Nuf said.
All of the weather wrath and fury that we have seen unloaded upon our country of late has made me stop, ponder why, and go to my knees in prayer. I don't know if God is judging us, but He isn't stopping it from happening either...things that make you go, hmmmmm. 2 Chronicles 7:14
All too often, we women are just mean girls in adult bodies.
Sad truth.....if men had responded to a movie like some of us women responded to 'Magic Mike', we'd have been incensed and calling them all kinds of not so nice names! Don't give me the excuse that it's about time the roles were reversed...it's called hypocrisy and I was a part of it!
Wait for the spectacular...that person or situation is so worth it, I promise! :) Seems like I lose a part of me when I settle.
One of the sweetest things I have seen in a very long time is a picture of my aging dog chasing two adorable children around the yard with a sprinkler...you can almost hear the squeals leap off of the page and see the delight on Coco's face. Priceless.
People are going to say mean, stupid stuff. I say mean, stupid stuff. I need to practice a bit more forgiveness and grace on those who, like I can be, are clueless that their words hurt...even those said in jest.
Breakfast with a friend who is on the same page, in the same stage, and feels similar challenges as you is deeply comforting and a soothing balm for the soul. Cherish, protect, and work at keeping those friendships vibrant.
Chronic gossipers have sad, sorry lives.
Nothing pulls me into deeper awe and fellowship with my Savior than His creation. Snorkeling has left me in total wonder as to how anyone cannot see our Creator in His creation. I am certain the wilds of Alaska will take it to a new level! Looking forward to communing with Jesus in a cool way next week!
