Checking Out

Sometimes I just check out...in a good way.

What happens is that I'll be working along and for no apparent reason I stop and remember that God is right there, waiting for me to talk to Him.

I love that.

So I check out of life.

I turn to God and take in His love.

...checking out.

Huge Blessings

Talking to God is one of the biggest blessings of my life!

Now, God has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I've always talked to God.  My dad said it was okay to do that, and it was good to listen.  My dad also taught me to read scripture and to listen to God so he can show me what he wants me to see.  It's like there are secrets embedded in between the words.

THAT is a HUGE Blessing!

Laugh WITH Me

People who know me are well aware that I can do the craziest things!  What's really cool is that I don't plan them...they just happen.

Sometimes, I stop and ask God, "how DID I do that?"

I can almost hear God laughing WITH me.

That's why I don't mind doing crazy stuff.  I love hearing God laugh!

A Little Help

From time to time we all need a little help.  While God is available all of the time and is always accessible, sometimes it helps a lot to be touched, hugged, and reminded "it's gonna be okay".

You know, it's true.

It's gonna be okay.

Relax.

Let God take over for a change.

Grace

So here's the thing.

Today was not the best of days.  Too much work.  Allergy season.  Miserable sneezing.

Yet, in the midst of it all, God sends the gift of His Spirit and shows me something I've wondered about for years in scripture.

What a blessing!  We carry within us God's grace.

Wonderful grace.

Get Real!

One thing God loves is when we are REAL with Him.

God loves it when we sit with Him and talk...about anything.

That means if you're hurt you can talk about it.

If you're angry, talk about it!

If you're really happy...talk about it.

What's most important is that you get real and TALK.
