Christ in the Clouds

Have you ever felt at times like, metaphorically, the vultures are hovering overhead, just waiting for you to give up and doubt God? I'll have to admit, I have had many moments like that, especially lately! I find myself overwhelmed and worrying about things I know I can't do anything about, yet can't get them out of my head! My hubby and I were out on the la ke this past weekend to have one of the very few fishing outings we may have the opportunity to go on this ye ar, as winter weather th reatens to cut our cool fall days short . We noticed , in particularly the birds on our outing. There were the always identifi able Coot s that migrate here every fall and stay till the lake freezes. These little bla ck -bodie d , white beaked birds feed on the fish in large groupings and are pretty harm less. We noticed that they were splashing around some and couldn't figure out why. The n , we looked up. At first , we only sa w faint images of some birds soaring...

Well, it's mid-week and I just cannot comprehend where the days go! Maybe it's just the older I get, the faster time seems to speed by. Maybe it's just that my life is so full that I don't have time to think about where the time goes. The weekend was definitely a full one. This verse just jumped out at me (literally!) I'm personally not a very good dancer, but I was thinking about the different ways we worship the Lord. This past Friday I saw  a lot of dancing(and leaping) and felt like dancing, too. I went to a Chris Tomlin concert. If you have been to one, you know what I'm talking about. If you have never been, you are truly missing out on something totally, wonderfully Spirit-filled!    Sure, there was music and singing, too. Some beautiful worship music by a very gifted singer/songwriter! But, the dancing took the cake for me! The problem was, we got to the concert late and had to sit(or really, stand) in the balcony...not the sturdiest ...

Another week is just speeding by! Here , it's almost Thursday and I have been trying to write a new post since Monday. Between w orking extra hours at my job and attending the grandkid s' volleyball gam e s and entertaining unexpected guests, it has definitely been a wild ride!! I still have several p ictures I've been wanting to share here . Ones that I too k a few weeks a go, while I was able to go out in the boat , fishing with my hubby. I haven't taken the time to add to my gratitude list either....which isn't a good thing. This is the second week in a row! Last week, I had the time, but my mind was backed up with so many swirling thoughts , I just couldn't write. I wanted to just take a break and get away. So , I did for a few days.... maybe not away from home, but away from the daily grind . I kn ew this week was going to be a strenuous one, so I laid low . I looked back at some of my pictures from my camera and the pea ce I felt on the day I took t...
