Sticky Statements

-
Sticky Statements are things I've heard or read that I want to stick with me.

Get ready for random...

"Pride begs us to believe it all depends on us."
-A friend

"Gratefulness activates peace."
-Some body

"My Grammie is so nice."
-A song sung by our granddaughter while shopping for hot dogs (kosher)

"That was then and this is now."
-My counselor   (Then and Now don't HAVE to be connected)

The sentence, "You can pick up your bag of poop at our house now" is not the kind of sticky statement I should have sent to the wrong cell number.   (It was REINDEER poop which is really, really good stuff that one of my friends makes and people fight over.)

"Worry is really an offspring of fear, and fear will paralyze our faith!"
-Dr. Larry Hutton

"Resisting God's promises will make us forget God's presence."
"Don't get so consumed by and focused on the mess - the feeling of rejection, hurt, and disillusionment - that you miss the miracle."
-Lysa Terkeurst

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding."
-Solomon

"The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent."
-Jesus

"Just keep swimming."
-Dory

I want these to stick all over my heart and mind. You're always able to find the humor in the poop, too, and I love that - and you - so much.

I love the way you teach with the humor because your lessons stick with me, but really, you texted that to someone who understands you, right? Love you, Jeanette

Life is Not A Drive Through...

Sunday, as I was leading worship there was a definite time when I felt we were waiting for something.  What are we waiting for, Lord?  It's interesting to be the leader when your leading a time of....waiting.  Waiting is not a comfortable time for most people.  (I'm grateful for a church family that is willing to wait in the Presence of God.)  Most of us like quick service, done in a way that pleases us the most. When I was pregnant with Andrew, I learned a huge lesson in waiting.   Andrew was "due" December 1st and was born December 27th.  Since Jeremy (our first born) was 2 day's early,  I thought I knew how to do the birth thing.  Sometimes your past experience does not determine your present experience!   It was such a long wait. Now, I'm waiting on the Home-going of my mom.  A couple of years ago it seemed that the Lord reminded me of my birth coachng days.  It seemed that I was going to be a coach for my parents' birt...

Thoughts and conversations that I've had this week... ~Supposedly my ears and my nose will continue to grow until I die. Not that happy about the thought. ~When the woman who colors my hair warns me that the color will be 'richer' this time, it means that it's going to be darker enough that people will comment on my new hair color. ~When did the holes in my earlobes stretch????? Looks like I've been prepping for a plug look. Really? My earlobes are stretching out and going south? Really? ~I tried to medically advocate for my elderly mom this week in a very challenging environment - to the point that I started crying. I dislike my gift of tears. The whole experience made me sad. It's hard to see your parents decline and not be able to fix things for them. ~I missed our grandson's 3rd birthday party today because of our schedule - couldn't fit in 6 hours of driving today. He'll have a blast. I am sad at missing his moment. One thing I love a...

These are a few of my favorite things...

I am thankful that I have a thoughtful, generous, caring husband who has not traded me in - even with all the weird stuff he's had to go through with me. In the middle of feeling pretty yucky this weekend, he managed to help me celebrate my birthday with such a sense of caring. I am thankful for a friend who would call from Turkey to say happy birthday and say out loud his family's love on my behalf. (Even though he reminded me that it would cost hundreds of dollars and I only had 45 seconds to talk to him!!!) My heart felt - hugged. I am thankful for the look on a person's face who has really heard from heaven! The joy, the awe, the pureness in the eyes of one who is so excited about what God is doing. Oh my stars... I am thankful for the sound of the song of the Lord coming from His kids. Hearing the church family sing praise is my favorite instrument. I love having kids, but I really love having grandkids. I am grateful for the hearts of our kids letting us into...
