more counting and a thought

ah ha....how is it I always seem to stumble back here every August? Why do I let a year pass without visiting my sweet dusty dashboard; holder of my random thoughts and moments worth remembering and soaking in..

Well I could muse on my need to have systems- set moments in life for.....all things I guess, but right now I am happy. I am happy with life, and the craziness of it all. I think I may even be embracing the "goodness" that Christ sees while wrestling with the fact that sin for now IS. This world will not be perfect until my Lord says its time......so I must see the graces and the goodness he has laid out for me. It feels funny to start at 102, as though I have gone a whole year without noting or count or noticing....that is far from true I have lived IN those graces and yet for constancy....

102. Happy swimmers sloshing around
103. songs made up in worship, sung from the depths of her soul
104. running....and remembering I am His image bearer
105. recognizing a Husbands love
106. LIFE....
107. a cold Arnold Palmer
108. Tomato basil Jam
109. a cuddly dog
110. the blue of the sky
111. free bookshelves and a functional school room
112. the excitement to begin again
113. bike riding babies
114. a wiggly tooth
115. the contrast of orange and purple blooms
116. the view from my window


.....I could keep going but I think I will rest there.

I've been feeling called to talk about something, something my heart guards close. I think the Lord not only wants it spoken but for me to do it on Facebook. To BE HIS FORGIVEN DAUGHTER on facebook, not just here in the quiet but out loud. I feel scared, I know it will make me vulnerable. My only pause is the quiet thought that it might NOT be Him calling me but the condemnation surfacing... I'm praying for wisdom..
