This generous couple had invited me, Mike and our daughter Julianna, along with another couple and their son, to come and spend a few days in what she called her “little slice of heaven” located in the North Georgia Mountains. After my friend told me the EXACT location of her little country paradise a few planets in my world collided and I KNEW the visit would be life changing for our family. Little did I know just how BIG of a life changing weekend it would be.

The timing worked out for all of us and before we knew it we were a caravan winding up the rolling hills of north Georgia and back down into a little valley surrounded by what I can only describe as a “Georgia Garden of Eden”. The rolling hills, mountain streams, grazing horses, summer wildflowers and never ending sky gulped our hearts up from the moment we set our eyes upon it.

On our first morning there, I woke up very early, grabbed my steaming cup  of coffee, journal and Bible and curled up on a swing on my friends wrap around porch.

My study on that day was in some of the very scriptures of Psalms that you and I are in today. I dragged my old journal out of safe keeping this morning to remember my exact entry. I can’t share ALL that I wrote on those pages quite yet but I hope to over the next few weeks. It’s a pretty cool story!!

Here is part of what my journal entry was on Saturday morning June 30, 2012:

“I am sitting on a swing in paradise Lord. I know this is Holy Ground. What you have made happen here is something ONLY a sovereign, mighty God–ALL KNOWING; ALL SEEING–could have done. You amaze me Lord, you know every heart, you know every moment of every day before it comes to be. Thank you My Jesus for blessing me, you are so good to me, MORE THAN ENOUGH for me, always more than I can hope or imagine”

As I sat in that swing that day I can remember thinking, “I wonder if my friend, who LIVES here, is actually AWARE of the awesome beauty that surrounds her every day? I wonder, when you LIVE in such splendor, do you begin to take it for granted? Do you even notice the glory of the hills and the flock of baby deer who trot across the back lot while you are doing your morning Bible study?”

Today, I am sitting smack in the middle of some details that, if it is God’s plan and all comes together, may result in me having my very own porch and swing looking out at that very same mountain range every morning.

Oh my.

What I am thinking right now, is just what I was thinking that day almost a year ago—I want us to be very sure that we don’t let these words of Psalm 139 roll in and out of our focus. I don’t want to get so familiar with God’s Word that it looses is splendor.

I want to remember verse Psalm 139:6–Understanding God’s love and personal attention to us should always be “too wonderful, to lofty to grasp”.

I want us to LAND on each promise and feel Gods breath on our cheek as He speaks His promise into our ear. I want us to truly see it fresh and new. I want to see these words with a fresh heart; fresh eyes; fresh experience. My journal entry is one year old. God’s Word is ageless; timeless; eternal and VERY PERSONAL.

He delights in stirring HIS WORDS up in us.

Please, find some time this week–early morning, midnight hour, to sit in a sweet spot on the grass under a shade tree; sink your lawn chair into the sand or roll back and forth in a rocker and LISTEN to God utter the words of Psalm 139 into your heart.

Here is some journal help from Born to Bloom, Psalm 139:9

1) What is going on in your life today that you need God to help you with?

Do you need peace? provision? direction?

ASK GOD FOR WHAT YOU NEED!! Record it! You may just come back one year later like I am doing right now, and seeing God say YES!! No matter what answer you come back to, this much I know, if you have hooked onto His heart, you will see his hand!

2) What is your favorite place ot enjoy God’s presence?

Talk to God about where you love to SEE Him!

Where is YOUR “Wings of the Dawn” today?

1 Oh Lord, you have searched me and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise. You perceive my thoughts from afar. 

3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all of my ways.

4 Before a words is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.

5 You hem me in behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

7 Where can I go from your spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I go to the heavens you are there; If I make my bed in the depths you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of th dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say “surely the darkness will hide and the light become night around me”,

12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

If your Born to Bloom Summer Sizzle timing has followed my mine, we have focused on 4 verses each week for the past 2 weeks and starting today with week 3 (verses 9-12). If you are marching to your own drummer and on a whole different timeline–YEAH!! I am just blessed to have you in our same scripture home today!

I would love to hear how you are liking your little book!!

Good Morning Summer Sizzle Sisters!

I didn’t get my weekly post up yesterday because I was on an ADVENTURE–an adventure in DOING NOTHING!

YEP!!—That’s not me but it IS MY ADVENTURE!

I went paddle boarding with my kids! It was AWESOME! I loved it but it did a number on my energy level and left me with a sunburned back. So, I went to bed early and woke up late.

YHOO-HOO! I love Summer!

Paddle Boarding is slow; relaxing; peaceful. Once your establish your “center of gravity”– you stand up and start paddling. It is slow and easy in fact most of the time our eyes were fixed on life BELOW the water table.

Colorful fish, slow moving seagrass and even an occasional water critter! I saw a beautiful stingray and on one adventure, my son chased a sand shark until it got mad and turned around to chase HIM! Those sharks can get so testy! Paddelboarding truly is a brain resting adventure. We all need more of those do nothing times don’t we!?

How about you, what can you do this week that will allow God to see you doing NOTHING? Take a slow bike ride or a walk? Lay on a float in a pool or lake? Drag your feet back and forth across the ground under a swing or a rocking chair?

One of my “G” girls who is turning 9 in a few weeks made the very grown up observation while riding on my board yesterday:

“G when you are younger than 8, you want to do everything fast and noisy but when you turn 9, you like to be peaceful and quiet sometimes”.

OMG—I ’bout fell off my board!

Our first verses this week is Psalm 139:5-6 which is possibly my favorite:

You hem me in behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is TOO WONDERFUL for me, TOO LOFTY for me to attain.

Oh my, what would my life be like without God’s Word. I can’t and don’t want to imagine that.

I want to remind you that my motto for this study is EASY!! SLOW PACED and No Pressure. I am old like that, way older than 9, and am claiming that freedom for myself as well as for you.

There is NO PRESSURE in your study process but there is ONE REQUEST that I have, that is to know that you are here, doing this study with me. We have mailed close to 100 books. PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Let US KNOW, that you are here with us. It is SO EASY–Just say Hello in the comments. Share your study; share your week; share your late sleep in or your vacation plans. Share your struggles. Share something funny from your kids or grand-kids! Share a word or two in response to the Born to Bloom Book questions! Just let me know you are with us!

Happy Monday Summer Sizzle Sisters!

My love to you!

BTW–We did get all of our book orders completed last week so if you have placed an order and not heard from Suzanne, you may want to check in today to be sure your book is in the mail. 

For more books or info contact Suzanne Howard (showard@awpm.net)

Looking Deeper–Over the past couple of years as I have wallowed so deeply into Psalm 139, I have loved my beneath the surface study of the heart of the author of this Psalm about God’s all seeing eye and inescapable presence. As I study, I am often thinking of David’s fears, questions, passion and love for God. If you would like to go deeper and want to join me in a parallel adventure into David’s heart, start with 1 Samuel 16 and just read for enjoyment as much as you want, as little as you want, to learn more about David.

I am so thrilled about our Bible study team. It has been fun to see your comments and where you are from. We have close to 100 of you who have inquired or bought the book so I know we haven’t heard from everyone. Please don’t be shy!! CHIME IN and say Hi!

Over the past 2 days, if you have been able to follow the Mon-Thur plan (no worries if you have a different idea) you should have journaled or talked or thought about Where you life is right now, today. Are you in a good or not so great place?

Here is what we know:

The Lord our God, has SEARCHED us and KNOWS us. He knows what we are doing; thinking;planning; fretting over; dreaming about; afraid of; hoping for; angry over……

Check out the definition of the word search:

to go or look through (a place, area, etc.) carefully in order to find something missing or lost:
to look at or examine (a person, object , etc.) carefully in order to find something concealed:
to explore or examine in order to discover:
to look at, read, or examine (a record, writing, collection, repository, etc.) for information: to search property title;
to look at or beneath the superficial aspects of to discover a motive, reaction, feeling, basic truth ,etc.

I love how many of you have said how much PEACE it brings to you to know that God has SEARCHED you. I certainly have had times in my life when that thought, that knowledge, freaked me out. I have had so many secrets in the past and done so many things I wish I had not done. You can read more about that here. God has delivered me from so much heartache and loss. He has SET ME FREE from my past and continues to lead me out of those pits that I slip into now and again.

How about you?

Have you taken time to work through your past with God? He may have some stuff He wants to do in your heart. He may have some ways he wants to use you to help someone else.

I would love to hear that you are still with me and maybe how these 2 verses settled in your heart.

Memorization Tip: Write Ps 139:1-2 on an index card. Read and reread it all day. Recite it to yourself in the mirror tonight before bed and see how you do with it before looking at the card tomorrow.

I’ll be back in a few days

xoxo

Summer is such a tough time for us to keep ANY kind of schedule. As a matter of fact, one thing I have always loved about Summer is having fewer schedules!! HOWEVER—We CAN NOT go all summer without soaking up some SON!!

Right??!!

So, I was thinking it might be fun to do a Bible Study together over the Summer that is short, sweet and simple.

THEN, I HAD AN IDEA How about if we use my new little Bible study devotional book–Born to Bloom!!!

And I hear YOU SAY—-”Yeah, great idea Pat!!”

So, of course, we will be DIVING INTO—-Psalm 139:1-24 using this ADORABLE little book!

Using the adorable (did I say that already?? Born to Bloom devotional booklet it will only take you a few minutes each day to soak up a bit of God’s Word along with the sunshine.

You may even want to bring your kids along!!

It will be a fun and easy opportunity for them to take a look each day–MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY at what God thinks about them and think about what His big plans might be for their sweet summer days.

This is the plan:

6 weeks of study—Staring with the first Monday in June through the first Monday in July. I will actually post my prompts on Sunday afternoons.

You will only have 4 verses each week. Taking one short verse each day Monday through Thursday will be your goal.

Drop by either here or on my home blog at www.patlayton.net and tell me how God has used His Word in your week!

Wouldn’t it be COOL to try to memorize Psalm 139 over this 6 weeks time!!

How about bringing your kids along, or a close friend. You might even challenge one another to memorize 4 verses of scripture each week.

I hope everyone of you have a sweet and blessed day. Mine was extra special as I had my honey, all my children, grandchildren AND MY MOM all together for a pool party in our back yard. I am telling you, there is no diamond; no yacht; no mansion; no trip to Tuscany that beats a gathering of all your family together in one sweet place.

My cup runneth over, as they say.

I am always mindful of those women who long for this day to be one when she finally hears someone call her “Mom”. It just makes me want to gather every one of them in my arms and remind them that THEY ARE LOVED!! God SEES the desire of your heart sister! (Ps 139:1)

This your last chance to chime in for a FREE BOOK (from ME) for Mother’s Day, which I might add, is EVERYDAY!!!

The Passionate Mom Book from Family First on Vimeo.

I am a Passionate Mom!

I have been passionate about my children every day since I first smelled each one! Yep, that’s what started it for me! That YUMMY baby smell.

I can still remember the newborn smell of every one of my children.

My firstborn, Tim, came into my life when I was just a teenager. We grew up together. We are STILL growing up together Tim and me. That’s how we roll!!

“In those days” (as someone really old would say) Mommy’s, even when they were babies themselves, were all alone in the labor room and all alone in the delivery room and all alone when they saw their babies for the first time. I remember the moment I first placed my eyes and my hands on Tim. That moment changed my life forever. It was the moment I went from taking care of me to taking care of us. There has never been a moment since that day, when I have been unaware of the claim that Tim staked in my heart for him alone. We spent the first 3 years of Tim’s life, just him and me. He was my whole world.

The second time I became a Mom, my life was very different. I was older and wiser but felt no more “capable or worthy” to be a mother than when Tim was born.

My Andy, was a big 8 and 1/2 pound boy, who stole our hearts, mine, his Dads and his BIG brother Tim. This time, his Dad carried him over to my bedside and tenderly lowered him to my lips for my first smell and kiss. My seal of ownership. NO OTHER WOMAN would ever be called Andy’s Mom. Oh my, I remember that newborn smell.  I remember sobbing all over him. I remember the room and the people all around us. The truth is, my life was a bit of a hot mess when Andy was born, you can read that story here. I had been working so hard to try to figure out who I was and where my value was. Andy brought a change into our lives. I didn’t know it at the time but Andy’s life would usher in our familys’ new life in Christ.

A friend of mine was recently asked in an interview, if she could change the world, what would she do. If anyone ever asked me that, which they have not, my answer would be this one:

It would CHANGE THE WORLD if every child could grow up in a healthy God centered home.

Wouldn’t it be AWESOME if every child was born to a healthy (mentally, spiritually and physically) Mommy and Daddy.

Working at a crisis pregnancy center has shown me that is NOT the case. We give birth as HUMANS who are on a journey. We have faults, we have weaknesses, we have loss, we have pain and it happens WHILE we are being Moms and Dads.

My last fresh newborn smell was even more radical than the first two, this time God SURPRISED us. This time our “newborn”, our Julianna, was one month old before my face presses up against her TINY cheeks. This time I was settled into my life in Christ; my calling; my personal place of grace. This time, God made me a Mom through adoption. Here is her story:

Being a Mom is WITHOUT QUESTION, the most precious and priceless gift I have ever been given. I am PASSIONATE about my children and now I have staked a claim upon my daughters by marriage, Kim and Bethany and my Grandchildren–AJ, Jacob, Mikala, Kai and Bella (Now THAT”S a whole ‘nother blog!)

My beautiful friend Susan Merrill has written this brand new book about the passion of motherhood. Oh my. This precious friend has captured some of the sweetest words I have ever read to lasso the moon of mommy hood! I truly feel that her book will become a best seller. I know I’ll be buying one for all the Mom’s I know and love!

I am giving away 5 signed copies of her book over the next few weeks that lead up to her BIG LAUNCH on April 16th and she will be guest posting here on my blog soon.

Share in the comments HOW MANY CHILDREN you have (by birth, adoption or calling!) and be registered to win one of my give-away books!

Maybe NEXT my friend Susan will write about the PASSIONATE GRANDMA!!

Watch out world

People who need HOPE.

People who need to be reminded that God is for them and wants to be INVITED to take hold of their lives.

People who feel like the heaviness of the world is more than they can bear.

If that is you today, I want to share the prayer I prayed this morning and to remind you that YOU are on God’s Heart today.

He is for you.

He loves you.

When we REALLY surrender our lives to Him, not just lip service and words but completely SURRENDER. We do what He says to do in His Word.

We KNOW GOD.

We KNOW His Word.

I challenge you in love friend, IF YOU DON”T KNOW WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT YOUR SITUATION; YOUR LIFE…You don’t KNOW God.

This is my prayer this morning. This is an example of HOW TO PRAY through your situation. Pray what GOD SAYS!

This prayer is from Psalm 91.

Lord, I praise You that I dwell today in the secret place of your indescribable love and protection. I am secure and fixed under YOUR shadow. I will keep my heart and mouth declaring today that YOU are my strength and my refuge, my mighty fortress, MY God in whom I place my hope and trust. I lean on you. I rely on you. I place my life into your faithful hands.

I have confidence Lord, that you will deliver me from any evil that comes my way today. You will deliver me from harm and from sickness and disease.

You will cover me with your shadow. You are faithful Lord and I know that I am safe with you.

Your faithfulness and your truth are a shield for me.

I will not be afraid Lord, of any terror of the night, nor of the evil plots of the wicked that show up in the daylight. I will not be afraid of the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the destruction and sudden death that looms in the midday. A thousand may fall at my side, ten thousand at my right hand, but it shall not come near me because I am surrounded by you. I will only be a spectator whose soul and eternal security is inaccessible in the secret place of the most high. I will watch when my enemy gets his reward. 

I have made You Lord, my refuge. I have made THE MOST HIGH, my dwelling place.

You will give your angels charge over me to accompany and defend and preserve me in all of my ways of obedience and service. Your angels will hold me up and keep me from harm today.

Because I have set my love upon You , You will deliver me. You will set me on high because I know and understand Your NAME!

I KNOW YOU Lord, and YOU know me. I know you are merciful, kind and loving. I know you will never leave me or forsake me. I know that when I call upon your name, YOU WILL ANSWER ME! You will be with me in trouble. You will deliver me and honor me. With a long life, You will satisfy me and show me Your salvation!

Psalm 91.

God is ALL ABOUT YOU.

AMEN!!

I am praying for you today.

But I will show you whom you should fear……

Luke 12:5

I was amazed to discover how many scriptures are in the Bible about fear. HUNDREDS in the NIV alone. As God has put this topic on my heart and mind over the past few weeks I have seen more than ever how much the Lord has to say about this BONDAGE of body, mind and spirit. Fear does in fact, take hold of all three. Fear captures us. Fear traps us. Fear steals God’s blessings from us. Fear gives the devil a big fat playground! Take some time today to do this for your self. Research the word FEAR in your dictionary and concordance and follow the path the Bible provides to see it for what it is. Dig up some truth about how God feels about FEAR.

The scripture above tells us that Jesus says HE alone will tell us whom to fear. What does He say?

I have battled fear all of my life.

When I was a little girl I cried myself to sleep most every single night. Even though I slept in a room filled with sisters, I was terrified of the dark. Today, as a big girl, and with all of my trust and love of Jesus, I still do not like to be in complete darkness and often wake in the night to go check door locks. Fear of the dark is not my only confession. Another fear I have constantly battled is fear of flying in airplanes. I have always hated flying so much that when I first surrendered my life to the Lord close to 30 years ago, I can remember thinking and even saying out loud, Lord, I will do anything for you but PLEASE never ask me to speak in public or fly on airplanes, I’ll do ANYTHING BUT THAT!!

Insert big God grin right here

There have been some very specific times in my life when I was so deathly afraid that years later I can still remember the weakness in my body during those seasons–like when my oldest son broke his neck in a diving accident; the days upon days driving back and forth from the hospital when our daughter Julianna lay in NICU at 1 pound; being out of town at a speaking engagement while my husband was taken by ambulance to a hospital with what they thought was a heart attack.

LIFE can be VERY scary.

Years ago as I began to sift God’s WORD into my life and fill myself with HIS teaching, I heard a sermon called “Do it Afraid” by Joyce Meyer. You know, our minds are RENEWED only through God’s Word–reading it, hearing it, trusting it. That message changed my life and I made a choice at that moment to face my fears and fill myself with God’s promises. I decided right then that I would NOT let the devil steal a single thing from me that God has for my life.

I want it all.

I made a decision to step into everything I possibly could gripping trust and leaning on HIM!

God called me MANY years back to start speaking in public (imagine that!) and sharing my deepest secrets no less. I was petrified but I did it anyway. I am still often petrified when I stand up to speak but God has been faithful to use the word of my testimony over and over again. (Revelation 12:11)

Just a few years ago, He called me into new territory and started plopping me on airplanes. OMG. I can not tell you how many times I have sat on an airplane with tears running down my face in surrender. One of those times I was flying to a connecting flight on a small plane with the Lifeway team. Beth Moore, Travis Cottrell and their entire SPIRIT FILLED WORSHIP TEAM sat just a few seats behind me and that still didn’t help. Have you ever done that on a flight, tell the truth!! One of my attempts to overcome my fear of flying would be to tell myself–God would NEVER let this plane crash with THEM on here!!

On that flight I don’t know which I was MORE afraid of, flying or those Godly people knowing that I was crying!!

I have since learned that God loves me just as much as anybody and THAT is a life changing revelation!!

A few weeks ago I LIVED THROUGH a flight that I honestly thought might be my last. It might have been but I tell you this, if it had been, the WORDS in my mouth would have been Psalm 139:16 “ALL THE DAYS ORDAINED FOR ME where written in your book before one of them came to be.”

God’s Word sets us free. He turns my fears into surrender and trust. Only Him.

What do you fear my friend?

If you were NOT afraid, how might God use you differently? What blessings could you be missing? What experiences might He have for you that you refuse?

Spend some time considering your fears today, journal them and replace every fear with a promise from His Word.

If you do not know what God says about your fears you will be a prisoner of them forever.

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Is 41:10

Your thoughts with me and this verse of scripture with a trusted friend.

NOT SO MUCH when I am startled out of bed at 2 am by thunder and lightning that seems to be shooting at my bed and rain that is pelting the glass as if to break through at any moment. That is what happened night before last. Our whole house woke up thinking it was another one of those pesky Florida hurricanes. It was not, but it sure made our streets look like rivers.

Soon after I woke up my middle son called and began to tell me about a daring animal rescue his family had made after the storm.

A tiny little critter was discovered floating on the sidewalk in front of their home on the verge of death by drowning.

Oh my!

My son and Daughter-in-love and all the Grand “G’s” went to work to rescue the little critter, thinking it might be a baby kitty or a squirrel.

They wrapped it in a warm towel, lovingly nurtured it and whispered encouraging words of life over it’s wrecked little body.

As all of that loving care began to take hold, the little critter began to BLOOM

Oh goodie.

I wonder, had they known this was a RAT and not a Squirrel or a Kitty, would they have worked so hard to rescue that critter?

This past week, I spoke at a ministry event in Texas where a beautiful young woman shared her RESCUE story with me. Basically, when she went to the crisis pregnancy center in her community she was in critical condition. She had been beaten up and abandoned by her unborn child’s father. She had nothing but the clothes on her back and they were rags.

The team at this center brought her inside; wrapped her up tight with blankets AND LOVE and spent the next YEAR helping her get her life in order. She was a gorgeous example of what grace and love can do when it looks beyond the obvious and sees the possibilities.

THAT is what we do EVERY DAY at Life Impact Network in Tampa. Every day we RESCUE those being led away to slaughter as God instructs us to do in Proverbs 24:11.

ONE DAY each year, we have a Walk for Life to raise money to do what we do.

Rescue women who are faced with an unplanned pregnancy.

Restore women and men who have bought the lie of abortion.

Revelation 12:11—Release testimonies of the goodness of God and HIS REDEEMING RESCUE OF RATS!! (Read about mine here)

This Saturday, I am going to Walk for Life. I would be so honored by your financial gift to help us RESCUE more women and men who may feel like Rats but God sees as RADIANT!!

Here is my Walk for Life Page.

Everyone who makes a pledge of $25 or more will get a free book from me!!

Have you ever BEEN or RESCUED a RAT??
