Take a Deep Breath...

-
Just do it

Inhale

Exhale

How does that feel?  Now do it again. Inhale. Exhale.

Isn’t that amazing? 

The past couple of months I have been doing a lot of soul searching. Praying. Deepening my walk with my Savior. What I am learning is this life is anything but ordinary. We get caught up in the daily activities and we do not even realize what is right in front of us. We are meant for so much more than the rush we have in our lives. Our purpose in this life is to point toward the Father. We live in a crumbling world, but He has overcome the world. The more I study and pay attention, the more I see how BIG our God is. This scripture jumped off the page at me:

“the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of  life, and the man became a living being.” Genesis 2:7

It gives me chills. Imagine the God of the universe, the God that created all of nature, planets, the moon sun and the stars, spoke and everything came to be, but he took the time to form man and then breathed into him. He breathed into him so he came ALIVE!

 As I am writing this Amy Grant’s song “Breath of Heaven” is on. 

Your breath is from Heaven. Directly from God, himself.


Let that sink in.  Mind blowing, isn’t it?

  "If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.   Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.   For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.   When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory." Colossians 3:1-4 This verse became more relevant to our family this week. My beloved father-in-law, Verlon, was called home to Jesus on Wednesday. The day he lived for arrived, and he stepped into Glory in one breath and blink of an eye. My husband, along with is mom and brother, were able to be by his side as he quietly entered into the Kingdom. It has been difficult to put the events of this past week into words. There have been so many emotions. My six children were extremely close to their Pawpaw. Having to tell each of them what was about to happen was by far the most difficult task I have had to face as their mom. Seeing m

Take it - Easy

 "Take it easy.." the chipper college age cashier said as he handed me the receipt at Ingles. I smiled back and left the store with that in mind. I have not heard that phrase in a while and I wondered if his parents raised him listening to the Eagles. It brought a smile to my face and made me want to adopt that phrase to everyone I see. Hey, take it easy! Life isn't easy, is it? Every day has a new challenge along with what has lingered from the day or even the month before. It is not easy raising children, especially in this society. It is not easy running a small business or getting up for work each day to pay the bills so we can have a decent quality of life. It is not easy to go to school to better our education. It is not easy managing a health crisis or the uncertainty of relationships that seem so fragile. It certainly is not easy to lose weight or kick an addiction habit. Life is just not easy.  We think of our English definition of Easy: causing or involving litt
