Serendipitous Musings

Today was such a great day of epiphanies. The total realization that we are only here temporarily seems to elude me from time to time. So wrapped up in the carnal world where I am only visitor; stranger; foreigner to this land. So many people tell me I'm selfless yet I seem to be self-led more often then not. What am I feeling today, how do I feel about this, that, you, me, her, him, things, life, strife, struggle, etc. Pause. It's so overwhelming. It's all so overwhelming. Do you ever dwell on problems that you can't solve? Like world hunger? Yeah. I'm that girl. Worry. Anxiety. About the future. About the past. Never about the present. Always trying to get to happy. When happy can be found now. Today, I was reminded that I'm going to Heaven. It was the greatest feeling ever. To be reminded that I am always longing for Heaven because that is my home. Heaven is a physical place. Transformed bodies. No sadness. No sickness. No death. Rejo...

"I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.” ~Psalm 40:8 I was meditating on this verse this morning and something stuck out to me. "I desire to do your will..." How easy is it for us to desire to do God's will? According to Paul, our spirit is willing but our flesh is weak (Matthew 26:41).

"I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:11 Just a reminder this morning that if you're feeling out of sorts or off track in your walk, you may want to go back to the Source for refreshing spiritual renewal. You can start with s pending time in the Word learning His voice. Pray that He reveal Himself to you before you start reading. He's there to listen and respo...

I believe writing for me is cathartic. It helps when I share my life experience with others because I am reminded that 1) I'm not the only one going through this, 2) It encourages others, and 3) I get encouragement and support from others. No matter what we like to think - we cannot do life alone. So... Welcome to September 1st, 2012. We will never see this day again but thank God He has seen fit for us to live it. As I sit here and sip on my Celestial Seasoning Peppermint Tea, I'm thinking of the past few months that have brought me to the place that I am at now - still, at peace and with my joy firmly in tact. God has really been speaking to me as of late. He will use a number of ways to speak to you (especially if you are ignoring his direct counsel). He will speak to you through people, places and things. In my case, it was through the person I was seeing. He had, so eloquently, pointed out during a discussion that I was flip floppy in my faith and sometimes-y with...
