SWOON!!!

 

 

See, I don't need to actually shake my own life to sift out stuff, not in general. It is more the nonsensical extras that might need to be sifted. In my life I have found that Life is a sifter in itself. The silt is separated out through challenge and difficulty; and it hurts a lot of the time. But it is essential to maturing and growth. It is important to be sifted out and the dross of days separated from what really matters- so we can see more clearly, make the most of moments and live more fully. If you are in a sifting time, wait it out and keep hoping. For in the end, you just might find it to be a blessing and not a curse. But, if it is weighing too heavy on you, I pray that you would be encouraged and strengthened by God to see things as HE sees them. He has a plan. He knows and cares. Trust in, cling to, rely on, believe in Him. He has you. Have a blessed week!

Here is something I wrote today. Just some thoughts I jotted down. :-)

"I swoon for lovely architecture! I do! And, I swoon as I gaze into my children's faces. I swoon with the rise and fall of orchestra's storytellings, and I swoon for hopeful, beautiful written words, too. I swoon for nature's wonders that speak of more than the simple-mindedness we embrace, and I swoon due to blooming lilies brought as a hesistant surprise in husband's hand. I swoon for the awesome, simple things we take for granted, but which speak of the deeper soul-things, ...like love letters to woo us. I swoon for beauty, truth, hope, and TRUE LOVE from the Lover of our Souls. I am a dreamer? I am a fool? So be it! I swoon because I can still wonder at things, with a simple curiosity that does not take me to trouble, but to the brilliance found in God's glory and marvelous ways. I will ALWAYS choose "the better way" as Martha's Mary did, even if I fall and rise again, because Life is found there. The balm of my soul's constant grief and all I ever shall need is found in following His good paths, in His embrace, under His wings,"
