Please pray for Don’s family…he passed away early this morning. So, so sad for those who loved him and will miss him, but rejoicing that he is in Heaven. Someday you’ll get to hear his amazing tenor voice.

The more you do the thing that scares you, the less it has control over you.

Let me know when you get around to not being worried about what other people think of you……I’m nowhere near it! Though I’m much better than when I was in the corporate world with all their….catty, drive, comparison….BLUGH! Too much stress for this ol’ girl! Not to mention my credit cards!

And you are absolutely right…..the blog is a tough thing sometimes. I’ve often prided myself in having the opinion of the minority, traveling the road less travelled, being a person who walks to the beat of a different drummer. I think all of that comes from so much of what I dis-liked, and still can, in my immediate family (an emotional journey I’m currently on but am not writing about). Anyway, I don’t like it when someone disagrees with me or tells me I shouldn’t feel or think or do what I’m feeling or thinking or doing. It peevs me AND makes me feel so wrong that I get this sense of rejection. Oh man do I got ISSUES! Ha ha ha ha ha!!

The absolute beauty of Jesus asking us for all of it and not allowing us to stay in our comfortable zone, is He loves us with such an unfailing love, and promises to never abandon us. Even when we fight and throw tantrums because we want to stay in our comfort, He never forsakes us! It’s a journey to understand that Truth enough to not fear rejection from Him, one I’m still on, but He has shown me FAR MORE than any……ANY human being EVER has. And for that…..He can do with me and my life and darn thing He pleases. Ouch. And amen.

How is Don?

That’s all my ramblings today!
