Spent most of the day sitting with God...sheer bliss!
Here is one thing He said...
Do your loving just to love..
Not for approval, or from my own neediness.
BUT out of a pure love coming from the center of who I am.
To love freely, motivated by God's Spirit within my soul.

When I start to rush or want to do something to get approval;
I can go to that Center..of His Presence, of real love and Love from there!
..a deep reservoir of peace and joy in my heart.
Then I will love with presence.
Seek the Center of Real Love deep in your soul. Sweet!

Having a blast in Africa. Love these girls!

Amy in Ethiopia with sweet new friends!

My free-spirit sister and I at the top!!

Sue, Rick and I went on a GORGEOUS hike today to the top of a mountain overlooking Priest Lake. I was on Nature High!! Unbelievable beauty.

My goal this week is to "live above the mundane". Instead of focusing on what I have to do next or tomorrow--I will live free. To really be. So that those sweet little bundles of joy burst open and warm my insides. My creative self feels alive. I am excited to live like this!

As I sat by the river catching a few sun rays peeking through the clouds, I caught a "wheel turning" insight about my life. I had had a full week...
When I push too many things into my life..I am not able to BE. I lose touch with my center, and I become a robot...only doing, not being in my soul. When I slow down, I live in my soul....seeing the beauty, bathed in the happiness, and peace of the moment. My creative soul lives alive.

I am so glad it is Sabbath...to rest, be restored, filled up. To be still and know that He is God. So glad He is my Friend!!
