lovin' life

I have never thought of myself as much of an inspiring person much less a writer... but alas you never know until you try. Even if only for my personal challenge and growth - here goes!

I believe that God has a plan for everything, everyone and every moment of life. I don’t want to waste any of that! But I don’t want to be caught up in the crazy do more, check it off your to-do-list, mindless activity. Too many days I seem to find myself in the later… oh how I hate to admit that. I know I need to slow down, enjoy the breeze as it caresses my face and tell God just how very thankful I am. I really do have a lot to be thankful for. You do too! So take a deep breath, yes you and yes now… isn’t it good? I mean really good!

Oxygen, to the lungs and brain cells and muscles and then out again… God gave us our first breath and I believe He really wants us to breathe deep, soak in Him, breath Him in. It was described to me one time as “Spiritual Breathing”. We breathe in the power and love of God and exhale all the sin and junk and baggage. It will change your day; it can change your life! I’m lovin’ life, breathing deep. I hope you are too.

Take a look at this: “Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy are in His place.”
I Chronicles 16:27
I want to be in that place – don’t you?

  3. Before I follow your advice, I think I'll empty the diaper pail. Then again, the stink reminds me that I've been blessed with a houseful of little stinkers. Hooray!

    I'll enjoy reading more of your posts. Welcome to the blogging universe.
