On Being and Doing

In order to justify not doing what I needed to do to move forward, I used to say "God created human beings and not human doings!" Somehow, I convinced myself that all I had to do was just "be" what he created me to be.  The problem with that line of thinking was that unless I got busy about doing, the vision that God had given me, the one he told me to make plain and write it upon tables (my vision board), would perish! I received a stark reminder this morning, Faith without works is dead. I think it is time to "be doing" what God gave me to do. And in doing, I will become!

In Quiet Rest

As I rise this morning of a new day, thank you for the light. Place in my heart the joy of now. Place in my spirit the joy of being. Place me in quiet rest.  As I open my heart, as I open my eyes, as I hear your voice, open in me the well spring of life.  Thank you for this day, bless this day, these hands, this heart. Open my hands to serve and to receive.

I pray this for me, I pray this for you!

One Word

Can you describe yourself with one word? When I say, yourself, I don't mean the surface you, the one out front that everyone sees. I'm talking about the true "you", the one that you keep pressed down, held back and locked away. Stop for one minute, take a deep breath and ask your true self  to step forward. Now, what is the one word you would use to describe the real you? Takes a bit of thought doesn't it?

My one word is amazing! I chose that word because when I  look at me, the real me, I can clearly see that amazing is stamped into my DNA. God designed me this way and I make no apologies for it! What a revelation! Now that I know my word I can go be

AMAZING!!!

So I ask you again, what is your one word?
