Wise Men Would Not Have Said That: Just Sayin

Wise Men Would Not Have Said That:

Please forgive me and I'm not be sacrilegious but that was the first thought that flew into my mind this morning. The comment directed at me was a well intentioned, "calm down baby." But in that moment and at this time...that was not the wisest man.

So after stomping off to get in the shower...that's the thought that crossed my mind..."Wise Men wouldn't have said that!" Just sayin! That though led to a chuckle at the picture in my mind of sophisticated solemn wise men carrying gifts and that they would definitely not say "calm down baby."

Do you suppose that God gave us this one time of the month ladies to clear the air in our households? At times I sure wonder. It seems like the natural flow (pardon my pun) of things at that time to say things that need said-maybe not in that way- and to feel the things that need felt and to just let down a little.

Have you ever noticed more dreams or nightmares during that period (oops another pun) where feelings of fear and inadequacy might surface? I'm not being all weird or anything but maybe our brains need that time to reboot, process and clean out.

I'm thinking maybe those old cultures who had a separate place for women during that time...might have just been a wise thing to do.

It seems the perfect time to let the old become new and begin again.

I'm Just Sayin!!!!

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. My hope is to encourage you He hears your Heart's Cry too.

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...
