Monumental Moments!

Have you ever felt the excitement and anticipation of a great adventure that is ahead of you? That is what the past few weeks have been like for me, as the earnestness I've had begins to pay off and dreams are becoming a reality.

The avidity of the next few months grows. I feel that I'm going to experience some monumental moments....yes, I like that description.

"Monumental Moments"

I just know it!
Some will be long awaited experiences that have been a dream of mine for years! Other moments will include new endeavors, with both my blog and in person. I may even have some moments of change in my physical status...but that all will have to wait to be seen. 

Today, I'm living fully in the moment! I want to enjoy life in it's fullest...whether it's with my family, friends, co-workers, or even new acquaintances. 

"Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights!  Live full lives, full in the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:18-19 (The Message)

One way to memorialize those Monumental Moments is by listing God's many blessings and gifts in my life at "Multitudes on Mondays", as I  Dare to Share.
1,773 - Spending time with my two favorite guys!
 1,774 - And enjoying a delicious pizza, besides.
 1,775 - Any time with my son is monumental!
 1,776 - Enjoying the beauty and sounds of a flowing brook!
 1,777 - Enjoying creative artwork in a large college town.(Bloomington, IN, home of Indiana University)
 1,778 - Always finding a reason to smile, when I'm with my hubby!
1,779  - The excitement keeps building as my hubby and I plan for some time away.
1,780 - Even as I go through some physical struggles, I feel God's presence and care over me. My fears are calmed and I find peace in Him alone.

Have a blessed week!

    Excitement is in the air, isn't it? I'm anticipating some "monumental moments", too! The first one is a fun trip to Tahoe with our son over the next three days...but then, our move back to Sonoma Valley is something that I can't stop thinking about! We'll be there in just over a week and I'm so excited to see what God has planned! He has opened the door to make this happen and has been making the way clear. We can't wait to be back in our church and involved once again! I feel such joyful anticipation!! And, I can't wait to hear about all that God has planned for you, too!

    Blessings, Joan

Advent(Dec. 9): Surprise Gifts

Image
  Now Israel  loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,  because he had been born to him in his old age;  and he made an ornate   robe  for him.   When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him  and could not speak a kind word to him. When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge  against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”   So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions  before he died:   ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins  and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’  Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father. ” When their message came to him, Joseph wept. But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?   You intended to harm me,  but God intended  it for "good  to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives

My word for 2016: Happiness

Image
Hello and welcome to my first post of 2016! I'm a bit shocked at writing this post, as I I haven't picked a word for the year for myself for a few years. I hadn't planned on choosing a word this year till recently.  But because last year had SO many challenges for me and I gave so much of myself and felt so drained of energy by the end of the year. it just seemed appropriate to decide on a specific word for 2016. Definition from Dictionary.com "The state of being happy." synonyms: pleasure ,  contentment ,  satisfaction , cheerfulness,  merriment ,  gaiety ,  joy , joyfulness, joviality,  jollity ,  glee ,  delight , good spirits, lightheartedness,well-being,  enjoyment ;   exuberance ,  exhilaration ,  elation ,  ecstasy , jubilation ,  rapture , bliss,  blissfulness I've been reading and praying about the word - happiness - in Scripture, in Christian theological writings and blogs. I'm learning that happiness is not something God

Burn The Ships

Image
The beginning of a New Year often has us looking back and seeing how God has walked with us in the past and contemplating the year ahead .  We tend to want to hold on to the familiar, the easier path, the old ways....but these often become unhealthy, and even dangerous for us to continue down some paths/have relationships with some people in our lives. When we become aware of these different paths/people in our lives that can hinder/harm us, we may need to "rise from the dust and walk away".  "Burning the Ships" can be SO difficult(maybe even excruciating.)  I don't know about you, but FEAR often has kept me from burning the ships and moving ahead. Fear of rejection, fear of what others will think, fear of being alone, fear of not knowing the future. But, God reminds us that He will never leave us, nor forsake us. He is our source of strength. And He holds the future and will take care of us!! “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageou
