Showing the full extent of His love before the Passover meal.






The Passover meal

 

Pressing on

Philippians 3:10-12

I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. (NIV)

Beauty of change

"Welcome the unexpected changes in life.

Learn to bend with grace and humility.

Grow through it all and never ever forget

to take notice

of the beauty changes can bring."

Brussel sprouts and humble sauce

Marriage Language decoder part deux

Not even a dazed deer in the headlights could have appeared more frightened and full of trepidation. I think I might have spotted a bead of sweat on his temple. Looks warned me that I was treading right into the “THERE IS NO RIGHT ANSWER” game show, but I hit the buzzer anyway!

I know better... but I just couldn’t help myself.

Babe I’ve lost more weight this week can you tell?
“Ummmmm”
What do you mean UMMMMM?
“Do you want me to lie here or tell the truth?”
Unsure if I should bust out in laughter, pinch him or act my age…
Yes!!! “I want you to lie, Have I not made that clear over the last twenty plus years?”

“Lie until I smile!!!”

I think of a post from October "LANGUAGE DECODER".
I jest but marriage and relationships can be pretty tough at times. I think oft of the poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson

“I hold it true, whate'er befall;

I feel it, when I sorrow most;

'Tis better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all”

I find my continual struggle being that of humility and vulnerability. I like being vulnerable about as much as I like brussel sprouts, need I say more? Being strong and courageous has helped me survive some tremendous obstacles in life but it has also become a “yoke” around my neck at times. Having pride has enabled me to accomplish when I was told I never would. It’s all about pride and humility isn’t it?

Yes Lord I will take some humble sauce over my brussel sprouts.

‘Marriage requires attention, the moment you stop working on your marriage is the moment it begins to falter’

As crazy as we can make each other we equally and in an even greater way complement one another.

The flip side to being vulnerable is you get hurt sometimes. Without being open to hurt, you won’t be open to the joys of marriage and relationships. I love this quote…

"The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for."

— Bob Marley

When we have difficulty humbling ourselves before man, it’s a sure sign that we have not humbled ourselves before God either. There is a time to give and a time to receive.

1 Peter 5:6-7

So be content with who you are, and don't put on airs. God's strong hand is on you; he'll promote you at the right time. Live carefree before God; he is most careful with you.

Sooo to be perfectly real here, taking in the verse above as literal as I can, "Don't put on airs" could be interpreted in such a manner that I would need to respond in truth...by just chucking something at that cape wearing hero of truth. The man I love my husband. Obviously making it a soft something.

Ninety-nine percent of failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

Normally I walk through my week pondering the rhythm of life, family and work. I count the endless ways I'm so blessed so that on the weekend, when I sit to write for my Monday post, it really hits deep at the heart of all that moves me.

Last week found me carried away with concerts, work, and a ton of extracurriculars so that I didn't even get to pen one thought. We who find our center through written words can feel strain when time does not allow to unload on this glowing

screen.

These last two weeks have been filled with great laughter. I enjoy my children being 15 & 17. Between them and my husband I'm in stitches quite often. My kids are always showing us the latest/funniest youtube videos.

So though part of me feels like I digress, I look at the title of my blog and it reminds me that LAUGHTER IS MEDICINE FOR THE SOUL. I mean it's even in His Word!

Proverbs 17:22

Luke 6:21

#59 So this week I give my kuddos to LAUGHTER!! Scroll down to the bottom of my blog, pause the music player and come back up here to enjoy some crazy, random and mind emptying videos that are just silly.
