Dear Friends ,
What a wonderful year I have had of sharing my , art
my heart and getting to meet so many new online friends .
You have truly blessed me in many ways - Kind thoughts ,
and encouragements and sharing your families , hurts art and ideas ,as
we visited this past year .
We have been in a fun whirl here these days after Christmas ,
and off soon to a fun family dinner at a favorite restaurant -but wanted
a moment to connect to the other --daily parts of my life - you and your blogs
For me next week will be a quiter time - to reflect on the list of
goals this next year -- * - First to focus on what God's list
would be for my life --to love more , serve more, connect more
in my daily life with him and others -These will be goals for my journal
It seems I get so busy, and in my prayer life , am always asking God for blessings , and help ,
and health and protection for my family , friends , my church , our country , for situations and
not taking time to stop ! Listen - for that still voice of God -
Years ago i used to sing a song that always made tears come to my eyes -
for those who know me in real life -- I have tears when happy , or sad , and empathy with others --I used to apologize about that ,sorry for the tears -- when a Pastor said
God never wastes a tear or a hurt - that we grow , love ,share our hearts through
milestones that can help others . So i wanted to share this songs words with you on this first day of a brand new Year ---
The song : "SLOW DOWN " says----
" IN the midst of my confusion , in my time of desperate need ,
when I am thinking none to clearly , a gentle voice does intercede--"
SLOW DOWN , SLOW DOWN , BE STILL
BE STILL AND WAIT ON THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD ,
SLOW DOWN- AND HEAR HIS VOICE -AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD
That is my main goal this year , to listen ,to hear his voice more clearly - --
I also wish that for you dear friends -
For to hear his voice , his words , his truth , his direction
-for in that - I can have peace in this unpeaceful
world ,no matter the situation or circumstance .
May he richly blessing you this new year of 2009.
