Life of Eucharisteo

It’s Five Minute Friday again! 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 Real in the comments. 　 　 I wrote about Real once before….it may have even been a FMF. Today, I’m gonna try to put a new spin on it, just because I love FMF so much. Life would really be much easier if we would all just show our Real. Do you realize how much energy and effort it takes to conceal it? We spend way to much money on the outfit that everyone will like, or the makeup that covers all of our Real, or the house/car that will be bigger, better, newer. I think that it is quite possibly an insult to God when we hide our Real. Real is how He made us. N...

 Linking up with Lisa-Jo over at The Gypsy Mama for 5 Minute Friday! Today's word? REAL! Here I go.... I love real. I love the “realness” of people’s lives. I love it because the real is what God sees. So why not let everyone else see it. When we get to see the real of other people’s lives it sort of let’s us off the hook. You know that hook don’t you? The hook of perfection. No one’s life is perfect. And when people let us catch a glimpse of their real, we don’t feel such an overwhelming need to live flawlessly. I had a really real moment this morning. Want to see my real? I mean my really real…my toilet bowl scrubbing, snotty nose wiping, laundry washing real! Here ya go! I spared you the pic of the deceased-two-day-peanut-butter-snatching-mouse. You can thank me later. And as a bonus, I’ll take it a step further and share this…. The really real, straight-out-of-the-bed-hair-in-a-clip-no-make-up-late-for-school-ME! And the "real...

Today's post is a conglomeration of jumbled up thoughts that need to get out of my brain, and Five Minute Friday. So here I go. I guess Lisa-Jo must have been reading my mind this week because TIRED is exactly what I've been. And when I say TIRED, I mean the crying kind of tired. I can sooo relate to Lisa-Jo as she was sitting in her warm car and the tears came. I've been there....this week even. Throughout my week of "tired", God has been whispering to me. "Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 . He sent my rest last night. We had no where to be, no homework, and we had supper at home! Then this morning He put a cherry on top and gifted me with refreshing and renewal of my spirit. I'll give you a sneak peak into my morning. 6 am...I wake to a phone call. A call for my oldest from a friend who needed a ride to school. This of course gets her up and at em' right away. Middle and you...

Liking up with Lisa-Jo today for another fabulous Five Minute Friday! Today's word is.......GROW. Here I go. My first thought when I saw grow was....Oh how I hope my waistline doesn't " grow" too much next week during Thanksgiving. Cause I'm about to dive all up in some turkey and dressing, cranberry salad, cheesy rice, green bean casserole and a pie of some sort. My pants feel a little tighter just thinking about it all. OK so now that I got that out of the way....let's get on to some real meat. Like ummm...the meat of His Word.     "For he will be like a tree planted by the water , That extends its roots by a stream And will not fear when the heat comes ; But its leaves will be green , And it will not be anxious in a year of drought Nor cease to yield fruit ."   Jeremiah 17:8 I love this description...being a tree planted by the water. Being a tree that grows deep roots. Being a tree that won't fear when the  ha...
