31 Days: Global

10/24/2016

 
Picture
Global.

What in the world do I do with THIS word prompt.
Ack...this is a hard one.

So let me muse a bit and see where my ponderings take me.   Oh fun...you get to watch my mind at work.

Global.. world...global warming...scoffing...perspective..class son took...art... mmm.... art.  Yeah...art!  That's global, kinda...

Hey, I am teaching an art class right now to a group of 9-12 year olds.

I have three groups of children in my class.
The boys and one girl... detail oriented, precise, pondering hard over how to look at the art that we're working on.  How they can make their desires fit the parameters of the art challenge.

The girls... oh, she's given us a basic idea.  FLY FLY and they grab the idea and quickly set to work.  I call them my global girls.

The huh? Do what? Group...  This is beyond what we can see.   This group is the hardest to help create and do and see the magic that is art.  But we try, we push and something lovely does emerge.

Three different groups.  Working on the same project, and they will every single one of them turn out completely differently.   It will be good. 

They are like the rest of the world, different, the same, and they all turn out somehow kinda lovely.  :)

I will be sharing pics one of these days.  :)

31 Days: Off

10/22/2016

 
Picture
Off

Just take off
Escape
Fly Away

Let that be
your hearts call

To just fly free.
To not be tied down
To this world.

But to see beyond
beyond the sky
Beyond the confines
of this world.

See him there?

He's waiting
Arms outstretched
Ready to bring
you home.

To his Father's house
Where he rules at
His Father's Side

So let me fly
Let me BE OFF.
Let me no longer be
bound to the pains and regrets
That this world
Brings down on me.

And let me remember
this important knowing.
That when I am finally off
I will be home.

Today... today I want to be home.

Park, 10 minutes of change

10/21/2016

 
Picture
When I think of the word park, may things come into my mind.

Parking the car.
How my hubby likes to park himself.   As in, he's not a fellow who likes to move  He likes to settle into a place and stay there. 
Going to the park.

But what it really brought to my mind once I let my thoughts settle is this.

The first year we had an international student stay with us I brought him over to visit with a friends family and we went to the park to let the children play, and my friend grabbed my student off to one side and started talking with him, she understood his native tongue more than I.

As we were talking on the way home and our student had been grabbed up by one of the children, she started talking about how he was a hurt soul.  How she was unable to get him to talk about what happened to him, but how she knew how much he needed God.

I remember feeling stunned that she had learned so much about him in 10 minutes.   And resolved to talk with the young man more, despite the language barrier we had.

We had a good time together.   I don't know if we ever managed to touch his heart for the Lord, but that 10 minutes in the park changed everything.

31 Days: Neighbour

10/18/2016

 
Picture
Recently I wrote aboutwhat it means to be part of the Homeschool Review Crew.
As I was considering what today's word challenge meant to me (neighbour) I thought about some of the relationships I have with people on the crew.
There's Kym, who is a displaced Canadian living south of the border.   Her children are older, and she's a huge voice of experience.   She blogs over at Homeschool Coffeebreak.
Picture
At Home: where life happens
There's Lori who blogs over at At Home: Where life happens.  She often blogs about her three giggly girls.  She dwells far far away from me, but we often chat on facebook and she's just a sweet lady I'd love to meet. 
I feel like I've known Wren for ages and ages, though we don't often talk.   We've guest posted for each other, and encouraged one another over the years.  A sweet lady with a good heart.  You can find her at FinchWren, a blog she shares with her sister.
Picture
And Carol who blogs over atHome Sweet Life, is so often one of the first people on the prayer board, responding to prayer requests.  She has a heart big for the Lord and is a great person of encouragement.
There are many other people I could comment on and encourage you to go visit...but I don't have the time to mention them all here... so You'll just have to go visiting and then hopefully do some blog hopping.  :)
To learn what it takes to become part of this great team GO HERE.      If you want to join the team, the application can be found here.   Tell them I sent you eh?
What being on the Crew means ...

31 Days: Study

10/17/2016

 
Picture
A red chair
Or perhaps the more
colour savvy
might call it burgundy.

It's my comfortable chair.
With a comfortable blanket.

A place
where I can rest my
feet.
Talk online with friends.
Work.
Study.
Do devotions.

MY chair.

BUT
My Chair is often
commandeered by
an 11 year old boy.

Who is learning,
Growing,
Studying.
Working.

And so the cycle continues.
Study.

31 Days: Little

10/16/2016

 
Picture

Oh be careful little eyes what you see.
Oh be careful little eyes what you see..
For the Father up above is looking down in love
So be careful little eyes what you see.

Eyes
looking
seeing
awareness
Feeding the soul
IF
allowed.

Be careful what
you let
your eyes
dwell upon.

Do not let
the joy of friendship
Stop you from
Blocking
Stopping
Closing off
Things that
If your child shouldn't see them
that perhaps YOU
Shouldn't see them
either.
It's not a little thing you know.

Remember
God sees it all
He sees us in love
He wants
the very best for us.
SO

Be careful little eyes what you see.

31 Days: Move

10/15/2016

 
Move.

I have moved many many times in my life.  :)

Granted, I never moved as a child.  WOOT WOOT!   That would have been hard as a child, with the type of person I was back then.

BUT as adult I learned to embrace moving.

New things to experience, new people to meet, new packing and unpacking to do, finding things I thought I had lost, discovering things I REALLY truly didn't need, the joy of having a yard sale.

Therefore, generally when I see the word move, I think positive thoughts.

Lately the word move has been filled with some trepidation.
Our church is closing.  This means my pastor hubby needs a new job.
Moving is a good thing as it means a new start.
But it also means...ACK!!!!   Where are we moving to?  When will it happen!!!  So much to do and it feels like so little time!!!
I feel angst.

I don't need angst.
I need to remember that God ever has everything in his control. 
I can toss things out. :)
I can plan for what I will move and then sell. :)
I can know that I can take it one day at a time and it will all, somehow, work out.

Has it come yet?  Mom?   Has it come yet?

10/13/2016

 
Picture
Recently my lad ordered something in the mail (which I am not allowed to tell you about),and the estimated delivery date was pretty large...sometime between Oct 4 and 26... he ordered it the beginning of September.

And boy oh boy...that's a long time to wait if you are an eager 11 year old waiting for something that you really really want to have arrive.

"MOM!   How many days yet?" was the daily question.

Until finally.. "HEY LAD... look, I think this is for you.  Want to check?"
And then oh joy oh joy...it arrived!!!  

Happy child.

Makes me think of how happy I am whenever I get a notification that a friend has left me a message in my inbox, or I've received an email from a loved one, or even snail mail.   Ah...but that comes so rarely these days...and then I'm left with...what do I do with this now?  Keep it?  Toss it?   With email...I can save it and it's there forever and takes up no space eh?   But I love it regardless of what form it takes.

Letters are communication...a note from me to you.

hmm... communication eh?   Like... God's word is a letter to us, a form of communication.   And prayer..that's like talking, talking is communication, communication that is between you and God.

Just as a letter brings joy to the reader, don't you think prayer brings joy to God?

Should do more of both don't you think?

31 Days: Aware

10/13/2016

 
Aware
Define:
  • having knowledge or perception of a situation or fact.
  • concerned and well-informed about a particular situation or development
Picture
Alive
I came to know
To be aware.

I am
Mindful of
the fact that
sensible though
I be.

That there is
a consciousness
greater than I.

And that
Consciousness
Is cognizant
of me.

And in my
growing I was
alerted to the fact
that this
consciousness
is
God.

And God
is always
Aware of me.

31 Days: Sky

10/12/2016

 
For the couple of weeks I've been studying the Book of Ezekiel.  Learning about how as a prophet he was God's mouth piece to the people but he had to go through a whole lot of physical pain in order to bring God's message to the people.

In the beginning of Ezekiel, we find these words   "the heavens were opened".   And with those words, Ezekiel's life was forever changed. I haven't gotten far enough into Ezekiel to see if what he did matters to the people of Judah and Israel.

What Ezekiel saw though... God's glory forever changed his life.  He wasn't necessarily happy about it, but he still did all that the Lord required of him.   He was called the "Son of Man" and he went through so much (and that's only in the first eight chapters) and I honestly can't see a fellow doing all that he did unless he was profoundly changed.   He sat in bitterness for a week and then got on to it.

From lying on his side, to shaving his head bald and building a siege works.   Ezekiel was kept busy.... and it all started by God's glory coming down out of the sky.

Makes me wonder....how has God's glory changed my life?   Can people see the change?
