An Exception to The Rule

Greetings Family! What a great, challenging, crazy busy but rewarding summer it has been. I have lots of posts I have been scrambling on paper and notebook..napkins etc etc. There will be time for me to get those to you. For now I would just like to share quickly some of my reflections. Enjoy and as always feed back is welcomed. An Exception To The Rule It is 7:26 a.m. in a Portland Oregon hotel. I have been up for awhile. The boys are in the next bed over sleeping soundly. Anthony is moving around but for the most part the room is quiet. I love this time in my day. I can hear myself think, more importantly I can hear the Lord and feel Him loving on me! That type of reassurance will go a long way in the day before me. School will be in session in a few weeks; days at the pool are numbered and pretty soon I will be counting Christmas lights. All that can wait. I am profoundly thankful for my life, my kids, my husband, my sisters and parents. My church families, neighb...

Wisdom Pearl

Wisdom Pearl Sometimes, The Lord waits for you to make the First step towards Him.. That type of blind faith releases an abundance of blessings! Sj ...Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead - James 2:17 ps..read the whole chapter before making a judgement

Wisdom Pearl

Wisdom Pearl Broken can not fix broken -sj

The Real Of It All

The Real Of It All.... Everything ceases when its time has come The hands of the dead are open and empty So live, give and love as the opportunity presents They are funny things Not staying long And may not come around again Each moment is its own treasure -sj

Don't Be Silly

Don't Be Silly Don't be a silly man or a foolish girl Don't be a hopeless boy or a delusional woman Death comes to all but it is only the beginning Not nearly the end Live, Love, Laugh and be stronger with the knowledge that more awaits Help, Care, and Serve! Taking stock in every good deed because it holds it's own reward -sj & many others

Wisdom Pearl

Wisdom Pearl An open hand is easier to bless and quick to give Cheerful is it's soul A closed fist belongs to a miserable heart who desires to own everything but gains nothing losing all in the end -sj

wisdom pearl

Wisdom Pearl You are the steward Not the Owner A steward can't be the Owner and the Owner will never be a steward A Servant to His cause yes....even then He still remains the Owner Don't twist it! -sj

how does one explain God to their children when they (parents) have never sought God for themselves How do these same individuals make an argument that God does not exist When they never sought Him for themselves Taste and see that the Lord is good -sj

wisdom pearl

Question How does one go about dismissing God when one has not attempted to have a relationship with Him? -sj

Is This Your Issue?

It is true that the Bible was written by a bunch of men full of brokenness and fault It is also true that in this (marvelous) book are recorded a lot of historical events, some gaps in time we may not understand and events that may require more investigation to fully grasp the significance. It is very true that the Bible speaks of things that are beyond our understanding as well as things that are easy for us to comprehend. It is true that it takes faith to take some of the events recorded as fact; take the whole immaculate conception deal for instance. It is also fact that every word in the bible (with the exception of the queen james) is and was God Breathed and Inspired It is also fact that this book: Basic/Instruction/Before/Leaving Earth (handy acronym) contains principles that greatly improve the readers life and may even help extend it if the warnings are headed. With that being said - no other book that I have read or studied continues to teach new lessons...

Wisdom Pearl

God does not make mistakes, nor does He create anything contrary to His Word/Intent/Will He does, however, allow us the choice to accept His way of doing things or His definition of a created thing That includes man and his affairs sj

Wisdom Pearl

Moving forward doesn't require confidence..only obedience sj

Wisdom Pearl

Don't let someone define you who didn't create you The Creator has a purpose for you seek His definition and move forward in confidence sj

Wisdom Pearl

Every day is a good day.. Some are just better than others sj

Wisdom Pearl

Some doors are not meant to be open Some are meant to be broken Seek His Wisdom to know the difference sj

Wisdom Pearl

Everything that is broken is not meant for your hands to fix sj

A Word

The world is crumbling at your feet Nothing is stable Rain where it is not needed The earth shakes Heat where it is not wanted Blooming seasons are confused Yet you still refuse to acknowledge Me You still hold fast to your Sin Calling it your choice Well, child once mine...I have choices too Return to Me before you are unable I control the mountains They will not cover you -Yaweh

Wisdom Pearl

Sometimes the 'Road less traveled' is the one that is necessary sj

Wisdom Pearl

If foolishness is the flavor of the day; be sure you don't add it to your cup sj

Wisdom Pearl

All Knowledge is not good But all knowledge is helpful sj

Wisdom Pearl

Knowledge is stronger when it is shared but it only grows when it is added to sj

Wisdom Pearl

Wisdom is only valuable if you share it sj

Wisdom Pearl

Don't attempt to control something that should be killed sj

Wisdom Pearl

If you mean to kill something; then hit it at the root which will ensure it's destruction sj

Wisdom Pearl

If you continue to feed chaos it will grow -sj

Wisdom Pearl

It is best that one doesn't try to be something one is not sj

A Mother's Promise

I can't even imagine what you see How the world looks to you it does not look that way to me I can't imagine how you feel my bones don't ache, my side doesn't hurt and nothing has broken my stride I can't imagine how your scars talk to you as they whisper to me reminders of all of your surgeries I can't imagine how tired you must be your soul must cry out to be free yet it is not time for you to leave so you continue to stay with me I can't imagine but I can share I can't feel your wounds but I am still here I am your mom and as long as I can your burdens I will help you bear sj

And There's That....

                                                                In August of this year we will be celebrating 3 years since Nate had his kidney transplant. There have been great moments of celebration and challenges. As well as lots and lots of adjustments. For starters we (Anthony and I) did not quite understand the sometimes fragile position a immunosuppressed person operates in. A regular old cold or even worse the flu can lead to i.v. fluids and hospital stays. Not to mention the viruses and infections that a healthy immune system would normally be able to fight off wreaks mass havoc on a immunosuppressed person . Still the cure outweighs the disease so we press on. Rec...

Just A Glimpse

Just A Glimpse So this Morning I was awakened to laughter coming out of my living room. Normally I would have smiled at this occurrence and thanked God for the joy in my house. However, it was 7:22 a.m. on a spring break Tuesday...who is up that early and does not have to be??? My son Myles that's who. Reluctantly I rolled over and registered that I was still in the land of the living, still a mom and one tired puppy. "Myles", groggily I called out..."Myles"..."yes mom"; "what are you doing?" "sorry I woke you up"..we proceeded with our regular morning conversation which eventually lead me out of the bed and stumbling into the boys room to check on Nathan. Nathan is still in the bed temp 101.7 down with a virus...again.. second one in three weeks. I kissed his forehead which tells me he is feverish way before the thermometer does(nothing like a sick kid to bring you out of your fog); quickly I headed straight for the kitchen to...

WANTED POD PARTY HOST(S)

Dear Family and Friends, I hope this message finds you well. I have some exciting news to share with you! Before I do please accept my thanks for your support of my literary projects. God is doing some GREAT and exciting things!!! I have been simply amazed at what God has allowed me to put on paper; His creative flow inspires and teaches me, while expanding the boundaries of my territory. (Prayer of Jabez) We launched Journey's Unlimited in 2015 ironically thinking this was a one time thing...duh!! (lol) Now this thing is growing and I am or was struggling to keep up with the demand. Looking only at my hands and not the unlimited strength and resources of the Lord I found myself discouraged and overwhelmed.  Then He sent a Word to me and it gave me new direction and the insight necessary to continue in His purposes for me.  However I can't do this alone. I need your help. Would you consider hosting a 'Pod Party' for me? This way I can bring my brand of ...

Wisdom Pearl

Wisdom Pearl If the eye of the beholder is shaded seldom is truth in it sj

Wisdom Pearl

Wisdom Pearl No matter how long it takes others to find out...you will always know you are a fraud if you don't live for or desire truth! sj

Wisdom Pearl

Wisdom Pearl Don't let your realness lack consistency sj

Choices

Choices Be ye (you) either Hot or Cold On fire or without Be 100% It will squash any doubt sj

Wisdom Pearl

Wisdom Pearl There is no such thing as an indecision because it always has an action that decides for it sj

Wisdom Pearl

Wisdom Pearl Don't be on the fence Be on a side just make sure it's the Right one sj

Wisdom Pearl

Wisdom Pearl don't sacrifice your reward or forfeit your gift for comfort that you have never truly earned sj

Truly

Truly, Don't be fooled the cost for following Christ is real and sometimes heavy; but the reward is generous and long lasting Whereas following the lessor option costs infinitely more; with deception and separation as an added bonus As the reward is lost...with no hope to regain it sj

Untitled

Untitled I would much rather be loved  Than rejected I would much rather be accepted Than unrewarded I would much rather be with the 'in' Vs the Faithful out More than anything I would rather wear my Crown... Rather than forfeit it sj

Weighted Scales

Weighted Scales Be sure the cost for discarding your calling or Ignoring your gifts Don't outweigh the riches of living in obedience Only you can decide Only you will be judged Only you will be left either empty or full Searching or satisfied Wanting or content Never both sj

Wisdom Pearl

Wisdom Pearl Be obedient or Be disobedient One can not exist if the other is present..no matter the slightness sj

Wisdom Pearl

Wisdom Pearl To be obedient is to sometimes be alone To stay the course rarely requires a crowd The commitment to excellence will require the parting of ways To earn a crown is seldom without sacrifice but is always rewarded sj

Wisdom Pearl

Wisdom Pearl Fruit is seldom a singular item To produce it is rarely an easy task The harvest is never without its disappointments But the rewards of obedience, perseverance and faithfulness Are eternal And never go unseen sj

Wisdom Pearl

Wisdom Pearl Your gift is for you Only you can unlock its power You only can hone it into a force for change Only you can discipline yourself until you have mastered it.. But WE, meaning all of us, .. will benefit from it -sj
