A Solitary Place

There are times that I have found it very beneficial to just get away from the stress or chaos of life and rest. Time alone with God to find strength and be refreshed in His presence.
I love these photos(found on Pinterest) and added Bible verses that supports our need to go and find 
"a solitary place"
 
May you find peace and rest this coming weekend!

    I am thankful for His rest. That verse from Psalms 91 has always been a favorite of mine. :)

    I especially like the image of the man sitting alone on the dock. We're headed back to the beach after not visiting for over 4 years, and I cannot wait to find some alone time and listen to the waves. I feel so close to the Lord at the ocean. Thank you for sharing these!

Everything is Blooming!!

Well, if it wasn't evident in my last post, it’s definitely very evident this time around!! Spring has sprung!!! We’ve been keeping so busy, pruning trees, weeding and raking, fixing some broken steps/gates/rock walls, and getting ready for nice weather….which at first, I was thinking it was going to rain all Spring… but the rains finally took a break, the sun came out, and the weather the past several days has been glorious…. Sunny and in the upper 60’s-lower 70’s. I started taking pictures over the past month or so and these are just a few of my favorites…. A few of the delightfully fragrant Hyacinths. This is one of 3 ornamental cherry trees on our property. This one has already leafed out with purplish red leaves!! I would have never guessed what this interesting tree is….can you? It’s a Corkscrew Hazelnut Tree….the long ‘catkins’ that are dangling are actually the flowers that will eventually turn into hazelnuts. We've never grown any kind of nuts, so we'll ...

Ugly-Beautiful Graces = Real Life

“Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.” ~ Chuck Swindoll Today, I was thinking about a small, but loaded two-word phrase – “REAL LIFE”. What does real life mean to me? Well, I discovered that looking each word up in the dictionary made it difficult to describe, since both had more than 15-28 different definitions.(Wow!)  So, I just kind of meditated for a few minutes on the phrase and considered what real life means to me.  A few words that came to mind   Imperfect Transparent Difficult Harsh   “A daily joy struggle . . . a battle between grudgery & gratitude.” (words from Ann Voskamp) . . .it’s not really what we make of it. . .but what we make of God (our relationship with Him)   An endless cycle of mistakes and graces Living forgiven Ugly-beautiful I st...
