Love of many colors

God shows me His love through rainbows, and I have needed His love even more in these last few weeks. I have needed Him to comfort me, and carry me. Everytime I water the garden, and stand in wonder and how He made everything come to life, each and every little sprout came out of the ground because this is how He willed it. I shower it with my earthly love and the water provided from my water hose, and He shines a rainbow where I spray...just another way to say He loves me too. Just yesterday my husband giddily told me he has a surprise for me, but I will have to wait until the next sunny day, which happened to be today. My wonderful man colored a large rock in the corner of our yard full of rainbow colors. It struck me as such love, and I am reminded once again by all the things I am blessed to have, my man on that list of things I thank God for...and His (Gods) wonderful world of rainbows.

Deadly Silence

How often do we keep our haunted thoughts just to ourself? We go around and around how we could have said something different, or not said anything at all, and we replay scenarios over and over again. I find myself asking questions over and over again. Did they take that the wrong way? What do they think of me? Did I ruin a perfectly good conversation? Or lose a friend? When we keep it all hidden in our hearts it only goes to destroy our thought life, and in turn how we respond to the world around us, our kids, our spouse, our friends... Wouldn't it be easier if we just brought all those fears, and all of those questions to God? We might be surprised at the answers. We might find all the no's in our head, to actually be yes's to God. I have heard that 90% of our worries are not even possibilities, and yet, we continue to worry. So, go ahead, don't be afraid, ask away, and be comforted, because you really are amazing, and you don't have to measure up to anyone...and God loves you just the way you are.

My Vinegar

Pain is hard, but I know God is teaching me through it. Even when I follow His voice, I will still have pain--but He will always be the balance that keeps the pain from penetrating deep into my heart.

I am allergic to most acidic food--okay, all acidic foods. So, I saw a tomato and even asked God if I should eat it. You get in the habit of asking questions when you've been hurt. So, I ate the tomato with some yummy sea salt, and it tasted good! But....it burned my mouth (as per normal). A perfectly good healthy food is bad for me. So, I decided to drink some red wine vinegar. I was told by my homeopath that when you balance acid with acid it balances out. I know, it sounds crazy, but it works! My mouth stopped burning, but it was not easy getting down that vinegar!

Gos showed me that sometimes things that seem like a beautiful plan aren't always the best plan. We can go ahead and do it, but we might endure pain God is like the vinegar was to me. he won't take away the pain, there might be some discomfort, in fact, there will be. But, God will balance everything out in His own perfect way.

All we need to do is to drink the vinegar so we don't let the acid take over. We will be balanced...and we will be changed--if we let Him.

Found

I am so excited to share my new song! Just a little bit of background on how this song came to be....I was thinking about a friend of mine that was going through a major life change, and I didn't know how she was doing, I just kept thinking about her and worrying about her, I just couldn't sleep. It got to a point where I got out of bed and started writing. Just as God always does, He showed up on my page, and answered my question...it's not for me to worry about, it's His problem, and it's in His hands. I immediately started praying for her and giving her totally over to God. I started to think about other areas of my life in relation to letting God have the control, and I realized that I feel most alone when I try to do it on my own. I have learned that when I allow God to catch me when I let go of all that is burdening me I finally feel Him....holding me, and I know that I am once again...Found. http://youtu.be/EPj9cxB-PVE
