Ok. I borrowed this off another blog. I like it!

I had a restful Sabbath yesterday. Actually sat outside by the river (can you tell I love it there) for 2 hours...reading and journaling. I feel God sitting with me there. Holy ground.

This dialogue I read made me think....
"How can I get rid of my fears?"
"How can you rid yourself of what you cling to?"
"You mean I actually cling to my fears? I don't agree with that."
"Consider what your fear protects you from and you will agree."

Also a Bible text jumped out at me. What an awesome call by Jesus.
To the man by the pool of Bethesda..."Get up" (off your fears and sins) And "don't be afraid."
I also read the title of a book, Arising Lioness. The author is calling us as women to rise up in strength to what God has called us to do.. and be.
It is amazing the wisdom God will send you when you are still...it is wholeness.

I found this amazing quote today.....
I am living as if I believe I am worth it.
I am living as if I look in the mirror and love what I see there.
I am living as if I am completely comfortable with happiness.
I am living as if the peace I long for is actually here.

WOW! God really guided my youth Sabbath School yesterday. The topic was prayer. I really felt compelled to take some smooth rocks with me. Three times I thought I wouldn't need them, yet something encouraged me to bring theme...and some candles. After a good discussion, I lit the candles that were sitting on a table in the center of the circle. Then I thought I should hand each of them a rock. And I said that this represented something heavy in their life...a burden, something that was holding them back. After silent prayer and gazing in the candlelight; I encouraged them to lay the stone on the table signifying the giving of it to Jesus. And leaving it there. Most all of them got up and laid down their rock. It was a special moment. And God told me what to do at just the right moment.

Just spent 5 glorious days with my sister and her family and my brother. Such a relaxing, fun time....
