Signaling for the Cows

Driving today through God's Country and enjoying the cows, the wildlife and the scenery through a back trail and over cattle guards when I caught myself......using my blinkers!!!

I quickly turned them off hoping that no one saw...except the cows!

I used to laugh at people like this and now it's me. Serves me right.

However, if you could have seen the look on the cow's face...it would make you wonder!

Starting a Journey

September 3, 2010 Originally posted How to Begin a Journey 1. Pick a destination or simply start. 2. Plan a detailed itinerary or just take the first step. 3. Pack everything or travel lightly. I am choosing to just begin. To leave behind the baggage, pick up a day pack, and go. Several nights before we moved to Ogallala, I was praying about the transition when I heard that still, small voice of God. In that moment, I knew He heard my Heart's Cry. He hears every whispered plea, every unspoken longing. If I truly sit with that truth, it humbles me. What courage, boldness, passion, and decisiveness I have when I remember: He never leaves or forsakes me. He provides for my every need according to His riches in glory.

Picking up Rocks and Riding in Boats

I took a walk with a three year old young man today. His mama was frazzled and he was bored. "Grab your shoes," I told him. He ran to his Mom to get his shoes on and ran to the door. After fixing the shoestrings and the coat was on the way he wanted and I showed him the edge of the sidewalk and where we would walk...we were off. A dried piece of weed draped across an edge of the sidewalk, and I bent down to check it out. He followed my lead and bent in half beside me. I broke a piece off and gave him half and continued on our way. Have you ever took a walk with a toddler? And looked at things the way they do? The broken sticks in the gutter, the ice and the small patch of snowing clinging to life are all gold to these little explorers. A little encouragement is all they need to sift for treasure along the way. A smooth stone sat contentedly on the driveway of a house. I stopped to admire...

Letter to me with Young Boys

(The challenge today is to write a letter to myself of something I know now, I wish I would have known then.) Dear Heather I'm writing to you this morning to remind you how truly fast this time of your life will go and how you will long for it in a few short years. As I write this, I know you will shake your head fiercely and maybe even snort out a curt remark. May 1st, 1991. You turned 21 in February and became a mom in April. You will be moving soon to begin your ministry. Right now you feel as if the key to your heart was placed in your arms just one week ago. You look in those brown eyes and can't imagine anything else in time. Hold on to that. In a few short years he will be a man and live far away. You will remember the days of him in your arms and will cherish every second. Stop worrying about what people think and about money and what you should do. It will all work out the way it should. You concentrate on being with....
