Birthday

Today is my birthday.  Happy Birthday to me!!  I am how old now?  Can't recall, memory loss, sign of old age.   I have plans later this morning to drive to Denver with a friend and head up to the Denver Art Museum and have the privilege of admiring some of Vincent Van Gogh's work from private collectors.  I have been looking forward to this for months, and now it will be.  Thank you Father!  Boy time does fly, especially after the age of 30; and it does not go down hill from there, it has been an amazing ride.  So I better get myself up to bed and rest my pretty little eyes so that I may admire the work from a beautiful soul.  Also, my dear friend is taking me to lunch, so I will be ordering a very LARGE piece of chocolate cake.  I just hope they have chocolate cake on the menu.  : )

 

 

Blessings from above

I pray that everyone around the world has a wonderful day and life of pure thankfulness.  We sometimes take things for granted and forget our blessings; we just don't see them.  Unfortunatley it takes seeing someone else's devastation to wake us up and literally smell the the embers of our lives.  God has been faithful in many ways, even I cannot count them, and why try.  I was currently hired with another ministry in a full time capacity, I know that the Lord gave me favor, they had over 30 applicants for this position; many with far more experience than me.  I am very excited and a little scared.  New employment, new people, new training, new everything.  God is good, He will guide me, He always does.  Though the other night I was starting to stress over how I was going to keep up in walking my dogs, drawing, renovating and so on.  Then I realized I need to trust the Lord, and he has given me friends who are very supportive and understanding with my craziness.  I had a dear friend say to me, "It's doable" I love him for that.  He just said those simple words and I was ok.  I believe God used my friend to keep me grounded; sometimes that is all I need is to bounce my chaotic thoughts to someone and then I am ok.  Thank you JD!

On this day of Thanksgiving, which for me is everyday.  I want to pray blessings to everyone who has sustained me in such a dark time, first the Lord, then my son, my sister and my wonderful friends who have been a pillar of graciouness and strength for me and my son.  Thank you Father for such blessings in my life.

Also, I want to take the time to wish those who may be reading this blog a wonderful day of THANKSGIVING.  May the Lord guide and bless your days! 

This blog was started with the intent of writing about my surrounds in Colorado Springs, but lately I feel that the Lord has used it to help in my healing, and will continue to help with my healing.  Though I am ready to start sharing my surroundings again. 

 

HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!!
