"How Much of Me Does God own?" Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Challenged by how much more I could do as a Christian to make myself stand out from the world. Not as a boastful or showy demonstration, but as a life changed so thoroughly from within, that everyone whom God allows me to come into contact with has no doubt that it is Christ's power within my weakness that makes me strong! Nothing more. Absolutely in Christ Alone!

Thanksgiving

Lord, thank You for Your love of art, for the colors of light and tint of the moon,
Fluffing the clouds and placing them so, and the layers of silk painted clearly at night;

For the orchestra of a golden field, bowing in rhythm at Thy perfect cue,
Swaying with joy, as the eager gazelle bounds across the stage;

For the way Your hand set into motion the sea, rising then crashing,
now resting,
Teaming with life both bold and demure, each serving its divine purpose;

For variety of lives strategically placed, using differences and alikes to bond and to frame,
Interacting by design, bringing glory to Your Most Holy name.

Lord, thank You for designing Your world with intricate detail,
Too sweet for understanding, too big for comprehension;

For inviting us into something larger than ourselves, yet holding us near,
Devoting Your life to a purpose greater than we'll fully grasp, yet significant enough there is no need.

You are amazing!
Thank You.

Things I Love!


  1. A quiet evening at home on the couch with hubby, perusing cell phone options on line.

  2. Mornings when both Justin and I are home and getting ready to go to work!

  3. Afternoons, just hours before departing for a mother/daughter reunion in another state.

  4. Brisk walks over the lunch hour in dressy slacks and tennis shoes.

  5. Answering questions about my Christmas card photo taken in Uganda.

  6. Packing light in my new Vera Bradley (on sale) duffel bag.

  7. Knowing sweet husband will pick me up at the airport when I return.

  8. God's blessing, over and abundant beyond anything I can ask or think!

  9. His Word and time alone with Him.

  10. Peace. That passes all understanding.

(And I wasn't trying for ten...just came out that way :)
