almost August...

It's coming!!!! The end of summer, the beginning of school...oh, wait no more school for me, tee hee. As it looms for so many in some "tough" circumstances (let's face it, their circumstances are just not as tough as those starving in third-world nations or being trafficked across the world) I continue to pray that their character will shine thru even in the darkness. A city on a hill...today's verse...a reminder that there is so much more than those circumstances that loom so huge in our human view; circumstances when viewed thru the eyes of the Spirit that become pinpricks...(I know, I use too many ellipses, but don't you just love them......................................it gives such room for thought & comtemplation & perhaps revelation?) The boss has been gone all week & I have the place pretty much to myself with the occasional welcome encounter even tho some are unsettling, challenging me to look beyond myself to what is truth untainted. Ahhhh, do you see the light changing, heading south, bringing new things, bringing us ever closer? I am in love.......................

a whole new world....

So here I am in my new space. It is awesome. My heart sings, my feet dance, my spirit flies......who knew it would be so easy to go? Those other posts before this one? They seem but a distant memory and the closer it gets to the beginning of that other life the more freedom I feel. I will be praying that those left behind stand firm, start strong, extend grace and rely on the one source that can guide their way. As for me, I think I should schedule some vacation days during that first week but alas, not possible. I am in a whirlwind of learning new things, cleaning out old things, adjusting to a much more fluid environment. Good things--I have windows to see outside!! Heavenly!! I can wear flip-flops!! Blissful!! There is a pervading sense of selflessness!! Blessed!! And a peace that flows.....and coffee ;) Have a glorious day.
