I would not call myself the most disciplined girl in the world.

I would not call myself the most disciplined girl in the world.
My darling daughter Julianna is often photographed with her feet high off the ground. Her joy just lifts her into the air. I gathered a few samples from my IPhoto to show you but believe me, I could fill an album. The reason she is so often air born is…
All my bloggy friends and family know that airplanes are NOT my favorite place to be. The great news is that over the past 3 1/2 years God has flung me into the air, He alone has also delivered me from the absolute terror that used tme latch on to…
Several times over the past week I have pondered on the unmatched smell of a fresh Christmas Tree. Honestly. My entire house is filled with that thick, nutty pine smell that truly just makes me feel good. Obviously I am not the only one since attempts are made to duplicate…
1) I would still have REAL people, with WARM blood flowing through their veins, answer telephone calls regarding flights. 2) I would not charge to let someone “EARLY check-in”, after all, they would be doing ME a favor. 3) I would encourage checking bags so that my guests–who PAID me…
I start pretty much every morning, when I am in town, sitting in my prayer chair (the green one on the right by the window). One of my favorite things about my home is that it is full of light. I have lots of windows so usually, when I come…
How do YOU feel about your size? Rough question, right? Well, get ready ladies, I have an epic fashion fail for ya… I’m having a flashback February moment and I’m reminded that no matter how things change, they stay the same, especially the inner workings of a woman’s mind. Many…
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,

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-

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,

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.
