About This Blog

The butterfly picture in the upper left corner is a symbol and reminder for me of the spiritual process. Sometimes I am the caterpillar - barely able to see far enough in front of me to put one foot in front of the other. Sometimes I find myself in that dark place of the soul, and I remind myself that it is simply my cocoon. While all may seem dark, and I may feel like everything is totally disintegrating around me (and in me!) a miracle is at work in my life and I will soon be able to fly! I love those days where I experience the butterfly in my life! The ability to fly above all the mundane earthy matters and remember the truth and experience God's power in tangible ways in my life are wonderful times indeed that occur more and more often as I continue this journey! Thank you, God!

If you are so inclined, I invite you to journey with me as we seek the promised land together. While I hope to share some "faithbooking" (scrapbook pages or artistic journaling about my faith journey), much of the time the journey may well be seen in words, rather than pictures. I invite you to create your own pictures. How do these things play out in your life? I'd love to hear from you about your own spiritual journey!

This is the Day

The verse I woke up with this morning is from Psalms 118:24 - "This is the day which the Lord has brought about; we will rejoice and be glad in it."  What a good reminder to give thanks in all things!  When I think about it I realize that grumbling and complaining is like a slap in the face to God who is "making my paths straight" (Psalms 5:8).  How very rude of me to ask God to guide my life and then complain when He does!  Yet another reason to enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise (Psalms 100:4).

I think of the many times God talked about the murmuring and complaining of the Israelites.  I like to think I'm different, but if I am worrying and complaining about stuff, how different am I?  Verse 8 of Psalms 118 reminds me "It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man."  I am SO grateful that I can do so! 

Father, thank you for being such a trustworthy God and for being my refuge!  Thank you so much for the blessings you give each day! Thank you for your guidance in my life. Forgive me for those times that I forget and start complaining and worrying!  I love you, Father and am SO grateful that you love me.  Thank you for your guidance this day - and every day.  Amen.
