"Yet a time is coming
and has now come when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23

My Heavenly Daddy is healing
me from the inside out.

Transparency is Real.
Many times painful.

Daddy let me be secure in You only!

POOL'S MY BEST FRIEND


What a beautiful day today was. The pool is becoming my best friend now for a stress reliever. At one point today I had it all to myself for over an hour. Peace and quiet, no one around. Being able to relax, reflect and meditate. Then shortly thereafter, I was surrounded by what seemed like 16 people, half of them screaming kids! Amazing how I can be off into a ‘sweet bliss’ then open my eyes and discover I was not alone anymore..... Oh well.....

  7. Perhaps God is teaching you how to use quiet moments as well as the chaotic ones. The transition is part of the learning process. Enjoy it all.

  11. I was reading in a Barnes and Nobles.. so blissful on a soft chair ( a book I purchase ) and than a man started cursing repeatedly on his cell phone..

    Hard to tune that out......


    Glad you got some peace......... carry that feeling with you when you need it. (that is what I try to do. .remember the peace and experience it again at times of difficulities.. works a bit.
