Life of Eucharisteo

Yay for Friday!! Time for the kind of writing where you open up your thoughts and let them all spill out on the page screen. No editing. No overthinking. Just let it spill out, and see what you get. The thing that makes it fun is that you can only write for 5 minutes. No cheating! ;) So let's see what you've got bottled up in that head of yours. Then hop over to Lisa-Jo's place. She's always got brownies, a comfy couch and lots of ladies just waiting to encourage you. Link up and make sure you take the time to visit a couple of posts before yours and extend them some comment grace. It's all about encouragement. We can all use some of that, right? Here's my five on DANCE.... Life’s a dance you learn as you go. Anybody remember who wrote that song? It has left me. It’s in the vault, I just can’t put my hands on it this morning. You learn as you go…..INDEED! The dance of life has taught me lots of things. This year in particular it taught...

　 Last week I was floundering. I dedicated two posts to the acts of indecision and discontentment . I was spending far to much of my emotional energy on these feelings. Apparently God thought so too. My girls and I came to Pennsylvania this summer to be with our #1 man. Let me just say that the transition from South Alabama to PA was like going from Earth to Jupiter. ( I might be exaggerating...just a little )  Just when I was feeling a little like I’d moved out of my skin, God sent the most wonderfully wise woman to deliver a message to my heart.  The very moment I needed it most, I opened my inbox and read this…. 　 The words flew through my head as I read your post: "Be still and know that I am God". Sometimes that is our assignment: to just be still and be aware - nothing else. Your ministry is not in a pause phase just because you are not in your usual place doing the things you do so beautifully. Your ministry continues even while...

Join the ever-growing group over at Lisa-Jo's place. Link up and make sure you take the time to visit a couple of posts before yours and extend them some comment grace. It's all about encouragement. We can all use some of that, right? Today's prompt......Risk. I’m not a risky kind of girl. I like safe. I like plans and schedules, and knowing what comes next. I’m not an introvert, but not quite an extrovert. That’s possible, right? I like things calm. I don’t like confrontation. I like making people happy. Making others comfortable. Doing for others. Bringing Joy to others. I hav...

Thursday = Thoughts You know what to do! May your skys be blue and full of His glory today, Tracey <><

She went and did it. It was so unexpected. I was just opening my email like I always do. There it was. Black and white words like that flew from the screen like an arrow straight to my heart. She asked us to finish this sentence.... I feel stuck in ____________. She asked...... and words that I didn't even know were in my heart started pouring out. I feel stuck in this season. A season on which I can't even put a name. It's a season full of not knowing what comes next, but feeling as if I should. A season of feeling like I should be doing more.....more for the Lord, but drawing a blank as to what to do. It's quiet and it's still. Two things that should bring peace seem to bring unrest. It's a season of feeling as if my tree is no longer baring fruit. It's reading His word over and over, searching for what comes next, but not getting a clear answer. So I  wait. I wait in what see...

It's Friday! Thanks to Lisa-Jo Friday has become my favorite day of the week. About a year ago I stumbled across her "path" and she extended me the grace of simply writing. It's the kind of writing where you open up your thoughts and let them all spill out on the page screen. No editing. No overthinking. Just let it spill out, and see what you get. The thing that makes it fun is that you can only write for 5 minutes. No cheating! ;) So let's see what you've got bottled up in that head of yours. Join the ever-growing group over at Lisa-Jo's place. Link up and make sure you take the time to visit a couple of posts before yours and extend them some comment grace. It's all about encouragement. We can all use some of that, right? My 5 minutes on.....Path. Which one? Which way? Is it really supposed to be this hard? Choosing? I saw a Dilbert cartoon the other day that put a finger on my thoughts. 　 　 　 　...

Thursday? Already?!? Thursday's around here go something like this.... I post a pic, quote, or verse. You think about it. Then tell me what you think. First thoughts or deep thoughts. Let me hear from you! "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock . If anyone hears my voice and opens the door , I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." Revelation 3:20

Disclaimer…. I am not turning this into a crafting blog. (wink) So now that we got that out of the way, let me tell you how God’s been working in my life this week. God tells us in His word …“ Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 Don’t you just love it when God let’s you see this verse come to life. I’ve been finding Him in the little things again this week. My bunch has been enjoying some much needed down time the last two weeks. We’ve been soaking up lots of family time and have been enjoying several days of doing absolutely nothing. Well, we all got the itch to “do something”. My girls love crafts. They get this love from their craft-loving-pinterest-pinning-but-never-actually-crafting mom. You see, I love to craft. I used to be a scrap booking queen! I guess I’ve just let it get moved to the back burner. Life happens and like I always say…you need to do one or two things and ...

It’s time for Five Minute Friday! The time where we stop, drop, and write. I grow to love this time more with each passing week. Hey! Why don’t you join me? Just plop down and let those creative juices flow for 5 mins flat. Then you can link up with Lisa-Jo over at The Gypsy Mama . Don’t have a blog? I’d still love to read what you lay down. Shoot me an email or leave your thoughts in the comment box. Here are my five minutes on.....Expectation. Expectations can be a real joy killer for me. I find myself a bit jaded when it come to expectations. I tend to get all hyped up with my expectations. I guess I’m guilty of over expecting. Is that a real thing? I’m often let down because I get these pictures in my mind of what I expect things to be like and then when the time comes or we get to that place it’s totally opposite of what I’d expected. For example…. We came to PA for a visit this summer. In my minds eye, I’d expected, rolling hills, beauti...

It's Thursday again! The older I get the faster these weeks go by! Thursday's around here go like this.... I post a pic, quote, or verse.... You think about it and give me your thoughts. It can be your first thought or you can chew on it. Either way I want to hear from you. Here we go..... Time to think.... "It's fruit. It takes time to grow. We don't have those qualities all at once." - Kristen Strong  via Holley Gerth Photo by Tracey Padgett
