As Time Goes By...

Time goes by and passion turns into a love that takes on a form and meaning that no couple could ever imagine, when they say... I do. If you are young, you probably understand this... but wait and you will come to understand how profound the covenant you made really is, after most of a lifetime passes. By that time, there are no goodbyes, just a deep profound eternal love born of time, pain, growth and hope and laughter that says...
"If you get there before I do, don't give up on me. I'll meet you when my chores are through. I don't know how long I'll be, but I'm not going to let you down. Darling, wait and see and between now and then, until I see you again...I'll be loving you. Love, Me" lyrics from Collin Raye

Managing Chronic Illnesses

Well, I'm back to counting spoons, again. So, I'm  sharing this technique with you. If you deal with chronic disease(s), it's useful to keep the "Spoon Theory" in mind. 
It's a good way to stay at the top of YOUR game. Spoon inventory enables you to prioritize things in your life, get things done and get the rest you need. Sadly, we spoonies sometimes  think we can do so much more, in one or two days, because we're feeling great, only to end up needing significant downtime. Why waste precious days? Pace yourself and you will get more accomplished without having to spend time trying to recoup your energy and feeling sick or actually dealing with a major flare. One more thing, you don't need to explain yourself to anyone because you keep a daily spoon inventory...your true friends will understand because they want to see you well.

We Seek Guidance To Help Our Children, Lord!

We do our best to prepare our children for this world, but we need Your Word and intersession to help them produce the best fruits and harvests to feed their
charges and others in need, according to Your will. Help us Lord, we seek your guidance.

Who Am I? What Am I Doing Here?

Everybody has many aspects to their personality... I say, toss them all up in the air and see what sticks at that moment. Life can be so much fun, if we just engage in every moment again and again!

How Will I Know If I Rest In God?

Resting in God...
Opening yourself to His Grace by your Faith is the starting point.
If you do
what you must, in a still peaceful place, free of the worry that brings stress and confuses you, allow youself to open to God's work in your life. All that worry and strife allows forces to keep you in bondage. Remember,  when you are being attack by these forces, they don't  just waltz into your mind and heart, you are letting them in. So, remove them. Strive to remain in the peace that is in His word. Hear what is needed from you, so He can work in your life. This is an active process, but you rest from tension and worry. It's important that you understand that you are not "taking an inactive nap" during stressful moments in your life...You're freeing yourself to clearly and effectively work with the blessings God wishes for you. Faith plays the biggest role in allowing His will to come forward and be expressed in troubled times and good times. His blessings are abundant...rest and receive them. Please, don't get in your own way. Stay in His word and remember His promises to you.

May the blessings and Shalom of the Lord be with you always. Deborah

Are You Escalating Drama?

Think about it this way...your future [happiness] always depends on how you react to things in the present. It's what you do or don't do, in any moment, that matters. Also, your intentions, good or bad, don't help any situation. It's what you actually say and do that really matters. Do nothing that adds to more "drama", surrounding  any situation. Focus on honesty and seek clarity. In addition, stop endlessly repeating  each blow by blow event of any situation. Nobody likes problems  and nobody benefits from escalating the drama caused by any problem by constant repetition and chatter!
