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!

Another Happiness Prescription

God is so good!  In the last few days I have seen MIRACLES as he stepped in and kept me from eating things that weren't best for me!  I am so grateful for his guidance in my life! 

Today I came across another happiness prescription.  This one is found in the last part of Psalms 2, verse 12. "O blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are all those who seek refuge and put their trust in Him!"  I guess that's what I've been doing and those miracles I mentioned are the result.  And I AM happy!  I've seen miracles beyond the food, too.  For example, yesterday I actually found myself CHOOSING to do some weeding in the front yard!  It's probably been a couple of years since I helped my husband in the yard without his having to push me to do it!  It felt really good to be out there.  The sun was shining but it wasn't too hot.  And the soil was moist - making it easy to pull the weeds.  It was just perfect weather for being out in the yard. 

Thank you, Father for the many blessings you want to give us each day.  For the lovely weather yesterday, for the victories over food, for the inspiration to complete the cards that needed to be made, for the willingness to listen, for the joy of being out in the yard again.  May I be ever more open to receiving your blessings!  And may I continually seek refuge and put my trust in you!  I know this is indeed what brings me happiness.  I am so grateful, Father.  You are AMAZING!
