conscious christianity

why did i wake up this morning more conscious? is it due to hot man and my good conversation last night? i know this is the exact opposite of what relaxes him (not a talker folks.) how about that my house is in order? perhaps because i have fun plans this weekend? or is it that all my relationships are peaceful presently? maybe just the exciting tidbit that i am getting my hair did or made a cool play list to listen to this morning:)? now you're just bragging-humble yourself lady... is it blue eyes is taking his first steps using pieces of furniture?
huh speaking of first steps, baby steps if you will, maybe it is just this. maybe it's not the previously mentioned fleeting things in my life but something greater? yes i still have my self-proclaimed edge and charm (smile) and yes i still love my life for the most part so maybe it's something new? a belief? i'm not saying i am becoming fanatical nor part of some coalition. just more conscious as a Christian...
seeing and believing. knowing life's nightmares and illnesses are fleeting as well as all the wonderful dreams and wellnesses. the truth is stability is in Christ. how do you feel conscious and stable?

easter

we are found worthy of everlasting joy.

we are born and die with light and good.

we show forth in our life what we profess which is...
we believe.

we serve in pureness of living and truth.

we know and trust our good shepherd.

we hear and listen to you oh lord.

you call our names and we follow where you lead.

please pour in our hearts your love, peace, hope, and joy!

and may we all slow down enough to see the truth in believing your greatness!

mantra

“But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.”

John 15:7-8 (NIV)

Christ Jesus Thank You!!!

opportunity

when life's obstacles are placed in our lives may we see them as positive opportunity
when illness presents itself may we see it as a way to heal old wounds
when angry folks enter our day may we learn patience and understanding
when annoying tasks seem to usurp our time may we see these as a way to determine what is most important in our life
when trouble occurs may we use it to learn more about ourselves and those we are surrounded with
when we feel down may we learn to bring ourselves back up
when we are bored may we expand our horizons
when the flow of our life is interrupted may we know how to bring it back into alignment

may we grow in the love of Christ no matter what the time presents us with
and substitute guilt blame and fear with wonder exploration and joy!

may we believe what seems to be error just may be opportunity
and it is possible to find a bit of laughter in everything.

livin' the dream

subtle, delicate, straight-forward
here i go.

upon turning 3o i can not pretend i did not have a ton of anxiety. hot man thought i might "beat him up" at one point (smile). not sure what i was afraid of? maybe the fact that some of my daily goals include riveting things like "how many loads of laundry can i accomplish" and "will i get all 3 meals cleaned up today!" truly fascinating right! or maybe it had to do with health and my body? will i be the same looking feeling person as i was in my 20s? or maybe it's just birthdays in general. you know the call and emails you receive-happy birthday-thank you...now what? either way the anxiety was there.
then i woke up! i am still the very same person. still full of life. still wanting to spread peace on earth. still in love with hot man! still ecstatic hanging out with smiling blue eyes everyday! still having the best friends and family in the world and enjoying every minute of my life!
so maybe it is turning thirty that has brought an enormous amount of peace and gratitude to me or maybe it is more...what do you think?

3o

to reflect on a past decade
to reminisce on the beauty of the past
that is my intention

to meet the person of your dreams and absolutely positively feel we are the luckiest humans alive
to make homes which feel soft warm and taste delicious
to know the beautiful blissful brilliant babies we birth
to truly find ourselves

life is so much bigger than us
what an understatement
