Learning to Fly

Today June 23, 2014,

Have you ever sat at the park and had seagulls fly overhead and you prayed they don't crap on you?  My picnic glass is so busy being half empty that sometimes I miss what is really in front of me.  After a few bird swoops and a few duck and dodges, I bucked up, remembered I wear glasses, kept my mouth shut tight, and today I really saw the streamlined under carriage of a seagull.  He tucked up his feet and did a sort of pump pump glide motion the way I used to get my swing to maximum height as a child. This was just second nature to Mr. Seagull, but to me, a miracle to behold.  Can miracles be second nature? Do we just go about life pump pump glide and wham a miracle steps in? Sometimes... Maybe we go about lifing and we are someone else's miracle not even realizing it... pump pump glide.

God's design for us is so complex, it's simple, so mind blowing it's peace, and so magnificent it is pure.  Love is the miracle, and we can tap into it every day, just by recognizing his hand in our lives.  He is everywhere.  He is with the Seagull, the sunset, the flowers in the garden, and even residing with us if we allow him to be in our hearts. When we can be open to this, to let him in, we can be the miracle, and it can become second nature. We can do what the Lord asks of us even if it is very challenging.

 Believing in Christ is great, being Christ like is better...
The Seagull reminded me to be Christ like on my new life path. To remember him in all things,to remember he is with me, and all will be well with me.  I will be strengthened, I will see miracles, and I will be able to help others along the way. I think I am finally learning to fly... watch me go.... pump pump glide.

The Right Path

Today June 21,2014
 In my mortal life I have found the closer I am to God the safer I am physically, mentally, and spiritually.   There have been times when I have not chosen to be close and I have made poor choices.  I have made myself so bad and wrong for those choices, I still do that.  But that's where chocolate and vanilla comes in... good or bad it was just a choice and we can always choose to correct.

Forgiveness, and integrity are the gear shift and steering wheel in the car on the path to making things right. Just as a manual gear shift has some play and leniency before it locks into gear, forgiveness is that place that can always be found before locking onto our own ideas.  Integrity is a guide that keeps us on a straight and narrow path if it sways too far in one direction just like a steering wheel it will take us to an undesired location if not closely monitored.

Today, I am pondering choices I am a 43 yr old grandma of one almost two, 19 days separated from my husband, I have ailing health, no job and bills to pay, and all I can think of is... I'm on the right path.

Intro

Hi there! This blog is designed to help all of us, but me especially, remember that yesterday is buried with the bones of my old cat under the tree in the front the yard of where my parents live.  Today is all I have yes, the past can hurt and often I go to that tree and try to dig up the past and only find fragments of scarce memories which are excavated through the hard and weed covered earth.  Holding tightly  to these fragments I label them as pure truth and then get stuck in the dirt and the muck instead of brushing myself off and living for today. Some say all I have to do is let go, let it be, choose today.  Is it really that easy? It can be I guess..I have learned choice is a powerful thing that is as easy as choosing chocolate or vanilla... personally I'd like to choose between rocky road and cake batter frozen yogurt (although that just made my choice much harder!) it's still just a choice. Every day we make thousands of them without even conscientiously thinking about them, until the really bad ones come back to bite, and bite hard! But is there a lesson in yesterday that makes us stronger and better today? History sometimes repeats itself for many reasons.  I think those reasons are mostly to teach us to finally get it right.

Take a walk with me as I dig through yesterday and see how it is all part of a major God designed plan for today, and though choices were made that took me to another path, opportunities were opened for me to be better and stronger than I was before, bringing me to a richer today.
