Spiritual Journey: God Moments

I'm so grateful to Holly for the inspiration and opportunity to write about my spiritual journey. Please stop by her blog and share your own spiritual journey.


I love this link up! It's 7:38pm on Wednesday night and I got home about an hour ago from work...with a bit more work ahead of me...so this will be short and sweet. This week I feel like there have been lots of God moments...I feel like He is ever so present in my life!

Praying Mantis: A beautiful praying mantis was on my car door as I was leaving for school on the first day. I looked it up and I found this: "Praying Mantis reminds you to have patience with yourself, with growing your wisdom. It also reminds you to have patience in acquiring what you want...When you are still, you can hear that inner knowingness that has impeccable timing. Be still and listen with openness, not fear. That’s when wisdom will emerge."

Rainbow: Last night a strong and scary thunderstorm blew through here. It left behind a beautiful rainbow. 

There are so many miracles if we look around...and I am looking. My new favorite song...I listen to it every single morning...is Thank You by JJ Heller. Here are the lyrics...
For painted purple skies
For never telling lies
For giving all you had away
For crying when I cry
Ooh thank you
Thank you, ohh
For changing autumn leaves
The salty ocean breeze
For coming down from heaven to save a wretch like me
Ooh thank you
Thank you, ohh
I can't understand why you left your throne
But I know that you came and you saved my soul
I can't understand why you left your throne
But I know that you came and you saved my soul
I can't understand why you left your throne
But I know that you came and you saved my soul
I can't understand why you left your throne
But I know that you came and you saved my soul
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Ooh, thank you
I leave with a feeling of gratitude...Thank you!

    I love how you take time to notice things -- so often we get busy and forget to do this! Beautiful.

Here I Am

I haven't posted in a couple of weeks. I've been thinking for the past couple of days about this post...but I can't think of anything to write. Frozen in my failure, I want to quit, but I push through and show up here...even though it seems pointless. Who wants to read a blog post about nothing?  I begin to panic a bit...Have I "lost it"? My passion for blogging? My ability to blog? Why can't I think of something clever? What do I have to say that anyone will want to read? (By the way, I'd have all of these answers if it was you asking the questions!) Should I quit? Give up? Accept defeat? NO.  Instead, I show up.  Instead, I remember the words I said yesterday to my seventh-graders,  "Show up. It gets easier." Instead, I write and show grace to myself. Instead, I remember that blogging is a muscle that I haven't stretched in a while and I need to warm up, I need to take some deep breaths. Here I am. Showing up to the page. I'...

Someday...

Thank you to Stacey, Betsy, Dana, Tara, Beth, Anna, Kathleen & Deb for this amazing platform to write and share writing! What a wonderful community you've created! I'm honored to be part of it. Join us at Two Writing Teachers . Do you have dreams? Kids are good at dreaming. I find many adults struggle with it. Speaking for myself, I get so caught up in the everyday drudgery of life, that dreams get nudged aside until they disappear.  It's important to have dreams. I've been writing about my dreams in my notebook and so I thought I'd share my dreams here... 1. Writing a book.  While I'd love to get a book published, my dream is to write a book...to complete the act of writing it.  I've started on this dream and it's hard and challenging and exciting and amazing.  2. Living at the beach.    I love the water, the waves, the ocean smell, the seafood, the sand...all of it! The Outer Banks is my favorite place in the...

Chasing My Dream

I'm doing it. I'm chasing my dream. I've always wanted to run writing retreats and workshops for people, but I've always been too scared to do anything about it...until now. I don't know what's changed...maybe I've changed. I'm not allowing the fear to stop me anymore. I've started Selah Writing Retreats.  The past couple of weeks I've been getting the business end in order. I thought I would hate that...I don't. It's scary, but I am surprising myself with how efficient I am. Yesterday I went to a bank to set up a bank account. The woman I met with was kind and helpful and so enthusiastic about my dream. My website is set up. I've done lots of work on it. I hope you stop by and let me know what you think. It's  selahwritingretreats.com . Balancing creative with business has been challenging but fun. Creating the website, getting a federal tax id, making business cards, planning dates... My favorite voxer group is called Butt Ki...
