I would not call myself the most disciplined girl in the world.
Happy Monday Morning Bloggy friends. I thought I would share some of my morning journal with you today. My hope is that it will bless you, stir your thanksgiving juices if they have not yet been stirred yet today and to simply share my overflowing Love of Jesus with you…
“Ludicrous” That’s my word for today. I have been reading the story of Joseph in the Bible and have just completed today’s reading. As I tried to capture a word for some of the things we see happen on these pages of scripture, this is the word that popped into…
This may surprise some of you who read this blog but sometimes my spiritual life gets a bit muddy. Sometimes, it seems that as much as I want to serve God wholeheartedly and reflect His Glory and Goodness, all I reflect is MUD. Almost always when that happens, it comes…
Discouragement comes at the strangest times. I am a person so un-prone to down days that I am absolutely caught off guard when one attacks. This morning, I dragged myself out of bed in spite of the fact that “Fall Forward” gave me an extra hour of sleep time, I…
I went for my Annual Eye exam last week. One of the procedures they perform is for you to press your head up against a little machine and have a what they tell you will be a “puff” of air shoot into your eye. I didn’t ask WHAT this does…
We have a little girl dress up box in our guest room upstairs. It was started for our daughter Julianna when she was just a wee babe and is now well over 20 years old. It is filled with priceless and sparkly treasures. It has Tiaras and hot pink Boa’s. It…

Very insightful. I never thought about my "I thought about…" thoughts. As I read that, I thought about how many times, I said I was going to vacuum and clean the interior of my car. Ha!
I know there are much deeper thought abouts that I should do more than think about. How's about that for a tongue-twisting thought?
I think being devoted to devotions is the key to being devoted at all. Dontcha think? Amen.
Sweet Blessings,
Paula
I too love devotional books and bible studies. I would finish one bible study and quickly find another one. (I have been doing this for years). However, at times, I had wondered if I used these studies as a bit of a crutch. You know, that I should just be reading the Word.
However, time and time again, I would find myself returing to devotionals/studies to keep me consistent in the Word. I agree with you, we are extremely blessed to have so many wonderful resources that God has provided for our enjoyment and our growth!
I was just given his book as a gift and I adore it!!! See you when I get home.
Hugs-
Jennifer
Paula,
Thank you for your "as usual" sweet words. I agree that devotion to devotions is the key to deeper thought abouts that we should really think about!
Bless you girl,
pat
Karla,
I do agree and understand what you are saying about staying in the Word. We have to be so careful not to allow replacements for God's way of saying things!
Jennifer,
I can't wait to hear more.

Me too, all around! I love devotions and I love Oswald. His "utmost" has been my companion for three solid years now. And while I read other devotionals along (Sarah Young's Jesus Calling is another favorite), I am faithful to read Oswald's depth everyday.
Thanks for stopping by, Pat. We share a mutual blogging friend, Melinda, although you all know one another face to face. How I would love to sit with all my blogging friends accordingly.
God bless you in your week and in your ministry to the brokenhearted. We need more Pat's in the world.
