Blessed Be I have called 2012 the Year of Trust. In this year I am focusing on trusting God – really.

PRAYER REFINES US
Prayer Refines Us by Judith Lawrence Unknown to you, prayer is always at the service of destiny. Your days and ways are never simply as they appear on the surface.

COMMUNITY – Five Minute Fridays
Community What would we do without others in our lives. They make the world sing, they bring us joy and peace; they help us when we are down, sick and just feeling out of sorts.

KEEP IT SIMPLE
Keep it Simple by Jan Cox I chided myself that my prayers weren’t full enough; weren’t organized enough; that I forgot people. STOP! Do I make too much of this “prayer” focus? Yes.

PRAYING WITH IMPACT
Praying with Impact by T.L Wiens Years ago I attended meetings on prayer. The speaker went on and on about how we had to pray “right” to expect an answer. He left the audience feeling like we should tread lightly and be wary of our words as we prayed. I wasn’t comfortable with his theories… Continue reading PRAYING WITH IMPACT
TOGETHER – Five Minute Fridays
Together I had this post all ready to go on Friday – then life happened and I completely forgot that I didn’t post it. Found it in DRAFT mode. I knew I was looking for a picture of together. This week is “pictureless” – but close your eyes and picture yourself together with someone you… Continue reading TOGETHER – Five Minute Fridays
