eTurns out I can write (blog) its just tiny on my phone. Now that I discovered how to turn off the wi-fi I have 3G access. SO now what do I want to write? Today has been interesting - the girls always said when I used that word it was my nice way of saying No or ugly dumb stupid whatever. but I use it now because I don't know how to describe my day, kind of frustrating and disappointing. I feel the house I wanted so much slipping through my fingers- its just more than we can afford to pay and it would not be in Gods perfect plan for me to try & make it happen - not even to mention poor stewardship! I know God has the perfect place for us I just am getting a little antsy about the when!
So here am back on the path seeking direction and trying to stay away from the Oh-EE-OH soldiers & the Winged Monkeys!! Those things scared me to death when was little!!
I love the book of Isaiah especially 40:31! Who needs Winged Monkeys? with God I have Eagles!!!!

Finding my Yellow Brick Road
Wow! Is there a way I can hide or get rid of those earlier posts? From nearly 3 years ago? They're actually pretty funny to read now ~ I was very nearly incapacitated after my accident on August 15, 2009 ~ I was determined to finish moving & run the cottage & get all the girls school supplies~ I had to get them any clothing items they needed for school~in a nutshell I was determined to be Superwoman and never ever ever admit defeat yet whenI look back I believe that was the beginning of my undoing. Note the word "I" repeatedly used throughout this narrative. Perhaps I should have depended more on God and trusted Him for the answers!
Sitting on this side of the past 2 years and 7 months~ 5 surgeries later ~ I'm tired~ I'm smooth worn slick! After 14 years & 9 months I no longer work for the Baptist Childrens Home.
I'm kind of lost right now~ I'm searching for God's leadership and seeking His guidance to define and deliver me~ but this is a scary place to be in~ the boundaries are undefined. Where is my yellow brick road? Wouldn't it be great if there were a yellow brick road to guide us to the Emerald City and directly to God for answers? (Sidenote: I do think that God is a bazillion times more impressive and beautiful than the wizard was, I mean God's skekinah glory is so powerful that He had to put Moses in the cleft of the rock so he wouldn't be overwhelmed and killed by the power of His glory!!)
Meanwhile back to the yellow brick road ~ there is a path that leads to God ~ over and over the writer of the Psalms and other Biblical writers talk of the path to God. Psalm 23 "He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake." Psalm 25 "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths." The path is there for us (me), even though it may not be all yellow brick, we (I) just have to seek it and follow it. We, no I, need to be so close to God seeking Him, walking with Him, letting His love wash over me, holding me in His arms of love, healing my brokenness, there are several songs I could just bust into singing right now, one that I used to sing that says
"For His blood was not just blood, of another spotless lamb
But His blood was precious blood for it washed the sins of man
And His blood it heals my body and it sets my spirit free
And I'm so glad this precious blood still flows from Calvary."
I want to document my journey because I know that God has great things in store, I know that He is not finished with my life yet, I just don't know what the next great adventure is. Over and over God keeps telling me to trust Him every step of the way, and I know if this is so important to God that it will be mind-blowing when I see and understand His plan for me!! I want to make sure that when I look back on this time I have reminders of what God has done for me. I have more stories to tell of this journey and how I got to this point, but I'll save them for another day. Soooohh ~ back to the yellow brick road ~ the old way is dead (ding dong the witch is dead) and I'm now a new creation created in Christ Jesus seeking the correct pathway to God. I'm sure I'll hit some rough spots (Lions & tigers & bears, oh my) in the road but I just need to keep my eyes on Jesus! I'm really not trying to throw in a bunch of cliches and cutesy phrases but it's really late and that's what keeps popping in my head so without further Adieu ~ So long farewell Auf Weidershen, Goodnight. . . . . .
