Wordless Wednesday

So....
I know the title of this post says wordless Wednesday
but considering there have been zero words on this blog for a week and a half
(even my sister fussed at me for being so negligent)
I thought I would tag on a few thoughts.
I selected this photo from our recent cruise because it reminds me of a wonderful time.
One of the reasons I really enjoy vacations is because they create memories.
but the memories disappear from our minds and thoughts so quickly
and I want to keep them fresh.
When I look at this photo, the sights, sounds, and smells of the ocean fill my mind and my heart.
I feel serene, peaceful, and grateful.
This is good because since our return, I have been making preparations
(with a group of outstanding coworkers)
to open a hospital...
now in just a few days.
There is something very, very satisfying about making something from nothing.

I wonder
How did God feel when He created the earth and all that is in it?
And I stop ...
in awe...
of how big He is
and how small I am.
And He loves me.
Amazing.
Grace.

This is a beautiful post. I could feel all my senses waking up, even the ocean air was wonderful smelling. Congratulations on opening a hospital! May it always be blessed from beginning to end. I also loved how you talked about creation, it's still one of my very favorite stories in the bible....

I Got A Feeling....

that this is gonna be a good, good year!!!!!! I have great expectations! And I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I do like goals. And prayers. I know God will answer prayers, and there are a few that I look forward to seeing the answer to, hopefully in 2010. It would be great if love and peace and forgiveness would win out in a few broken relationships. I am still praying. And I am look forward to how my marriage will become more wonderful, as it does every year! My health should improve since I am training for a triathlon. I lost 23 pounds in 2009. I look forward to losing about 15 to 20 more. Completing the Caveman triathlon with a couple of my very good friends is a goal that I am excited to achieve! It is going to be fun to see what God is going to do because I said "yes" to Him and stepped up into Home Group leadership with my church. And my church.... I have to say I am amazed and thrilled to love my church! What a blessing after so many years of being a s...

Gone

A fire burns behind me I run to keep ahead Those who I once cared for becoming cold and dead Red and black the flames grow high Smoke rises in the air The pain of my unworthiness Seems more than I can bear In front of me I see the sun I long to feel it's heat The iciness inside my heart has paralyzed my feet I see the moon, I see the stars They swirl and dance for me I see the hole, the big dark hole Where one star used to be

Behind Those Eyes - Chapter 8

We are completely loved and accepted completely. That is the chapter title this week and it is such good news! It is news that I have heard before, but news that I was glad to hear again. Lisa's story at the end of the chapter touched my heart...you know, the one where she woke up the morning after her prayer asking God to let her know that they were okay. The song in her head, that really was in her heart is awesome. I have had those times. Recently, I have had quite a few. The last few months (years maybe?) have been a little difficult. Some days I have wondered, "Does He REALLY love me?" And then some sort of confirmation will come along, He will let me know that we are okay and my heart sings. His love is gentle. His love is perfect. His love is comforting. And his love is absolutely unconditional. My blog time is shortened this week due the death in my family. My post is short, but honest and heartfelt. This week, I had a couple of conversations with a good...
