Think about it Thursday

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....

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

　 Do you ever look back on some months and wonder how so many things could go wrong in four short weeks? We’ve not had a record month, but we’ve had our share of days where we just shook our heads and sighed…”Really!!” We’ve had a busted toe, a trip to the ER, and slip down the stairs. All this to one kid. We’ve had things to fix. Brakes and hubs and car a/c to repair. We’ve had days of noses turned up at the food set before them. Mouths saying “I don’t really care for that.” They get points for being polite about it, but scolding because they should just be grateful they aren’t going to bed hungry. In other words….we’ve had LIFE this month. We’ve also had a choice. We chose between dwelling in the moment or looking beyond. If we choose to dwell we get stuck. Stuck in the moment of the hurt toe or the milk spilled on the carpet. We lose ourselves. We put on the blinders that cause tunnel vision. These are the times when the careless words

Story

Today I’m mapping new ground. I’m going two hours away with complete strangers. This is so far our of my comfort zone it’s not even funny. Don’t get me wrong. I’m no recluse. I can hold up my side of a conversation fairly well, but honestly it’s much easier not to. Not to get involved. Not to learn their stories and not to share mine. It’s easier to stay in my own safe little world with the known. “Not what I want from you” says the One who created me. So I’ll go and I’ll mingle, and I’ll do what He’s called me to do. I’ll be His light. I’ll tell them my story and I’ll hear theirs. Then, just maybe, through my obedience and by His grace they’ll know more about His story when we part. Pray for me today, Tracey <>< 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.
