5 Minute Friday: Rest

September 2nd, 2011 | 1 Comment

Today I am playing along with The Gypsy Mama as we all write unedited for five minutes about her trigger word.  Here goes: Next month I will be running 3 half marathons so this is not the time to be resting.  But it seems like over the past month I am loosing the motivation to move forward.  This is not the time to be resting.  It is the time to be moving and getting in the best shape to accomplish all three races in the time I am shooting for.  I will rest when the races are over but not before then, not now.  When I think of rest my little puppy girl, Noah always comes to mind.  She seems to find the most comfortable sleeping positions where she snuggles down or curls … Read entire article »

Five minutes to remember that we are creatures sculpted by The WORD  and made for The WORD and beloved by The WORD.  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

We finger paint with our words – in pink and blue … Read entire article »
