Ready, Set, Here We Go!

 So, I've been thinking about blogging for a very long time and after reading a couple of friends blogs recently that have really blessed me, I've decided to take the plunge and dive in to the world of blogging. I find myself wanting to write things down often, and to share thoughts that come to me while sitting quietly before the Lord in my Pink Room, or while sitting in church or wherever. It often seems like too much to put on Facebook in my status, so here we go. I hope it blesses someone out there.

Today, I was sitting quietly in my favorite room, affectionately known as the Pink Room, because it is very pink! It is a sweet place to escape when I need a few minutes of quiet, or when the den is FULL of our sons and their friends. You'll here about it often, forgive me if you tire of it. : ) Today, while reflecting on what I had read this morning, in Psalm 91, in Ephesians, and in two of my favorite devotionals, I was distracted by just how beautiful the colors were outside the windows of my little room. There were reds, golds, oranges, and greens. If anyone looks at these beautiful colors and can proclaim that there is no God, I just do NOT get them! I love this time of year, however, this year I find myself really reflecting  not only on the fall season, but on the seasons of my life. Wow, how the time is flying. So many changes that I cannot keep up with them. But in all of this, I really want to remember that in every change and in every season, my God stays the same. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, and His promises are forever. I can trust Him. So many people come and go in our lives, time passes before we can blink and we cannot get it back. But God is faithful.

I recently heard something that really encouraged me...Jesus was there before I was born and He is waiting ahead of me with arms open wide to receive me. And...He walks with me through each and every season. He is our refuge and our strength and He covers us with His feathers. I love white feathers, and snowflakes and the verses in Psalm 91 remind me of the care of Jesus and the covering of God. He cares so much for us. In the future we'll talk about things like His Presence, Peace in all circumstances, what I'm gonna be when I grow up and oh, white feathers and snowflakes...another story for another day. God bless!
