It's ok to take the long road

resource

It's ok to take the long road.
     to ride the bike
     to take the long walk

In a world that always pushing us to do things fast--to get the job done--it's ok to take the long road.
     to slow down and inhale the beauty
     to rest from the caos
     to relax in the awkward moments
     to breathe in life

To really live life & absorb it all.
     to take it all in

To just...
                  be.


Life is not a destination.  Life is a journey.  Long.  Hard.  Painful.  Fun.  But all worth it.  In encourage you, slow down and love life.  All of it.

my piece of earth

There are those pieces of earth that heal your soul.
     They remind you who you are
           Who you're called to be
           How you think
           How you feel
That plot of soil calls me to it's bed of green
      and when I'm there I feel home
          peace
          self assurance
          trust
     Peace in the friendships
     Self assurance in the education
     Trust in the memories
I love my piece of earth and I feel it calling me now, and every more, to be more, to love more, to give more--
               to serve even more

Today I got to go to my "piece of earth."  Not to be Scarlet O'hara are anything, but it's my home...it's a place that I remember who I am and the relationships that changed me life...the experiences that molded me...and I find a renewed solidity in myself and in God.

Thanks for letting me share.

All My Love for All My Days,

Danette

My Heart is Stirred

My heart is stirred with love for Him

     and I am overwhelmed in His love.

Sitting in the solitude of this quiet moment

     I'm embraced

     Held

     Comforted

     At peace

Lost in the image of His undoable light.

I'm very excited for tomorrow night.  At Cathedral we are having a very special night of praise and worship.  We are celebrating our musical heritage.  I hope that you can come join us.  For more information please visit us at cpraise.org.
