Ragamuffin...

O God I want to be a Ragamuffin... a broken person who knows your grace is the only thing I need.  I want the world to see me as loved because your love is so deep for me.. I want to be the girl who laughs at the wrong times, who rolls in the grass, who has the time of her life living for you.

The Beauty of an Ordinary Day

Sometimes we miss the ordinary... we think that life is built on these grand moments, but the older I get the more I realize that life is built on sitting around a table with your family laughing or singing along to the radio with your friend.

Today I've heard of illness and loss and joy of celebrating another year of life.  That's life... the beauty of the moment you're in and not looking always at what lies ahead.

A Technicolor World

I feel like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz when she steps into the world of Oz for the first time. How her eyes must have needed sunglasses from the yellow brick road.  But I woke up this morning and realized what a technicolor world my world has become.  So much has changed since I last posted on my blog... I'm no longer married... I'm single, divorced whatever label you want to put on it.  

As I gazed out the window at what God had created the trees gloriously coming into their own and heard the birds share their song, I thought if God could create a day as beautiful as today, what would heaven be like?

Scripture tells us that our eye hasn't seen or our ear hasn't heard the riches that God has for us.  Well on perfect mornings like this morning, I'm awed that God loves me enough that it is true.  

Often if we take the time to realize the moment we are in, it many times far exceeds our dreams.
