Steady Me

This morning I woke up consumed with worry. You know the knot in the stomach...can't function kind! I'm not to the point of giving details yet, but for you prayer warriors out there we could use some prayer. I know all about casting my care and giving it to God. Why does that seem impossible sometimes??

I was working out at the gym and a song came through my headphones called "Steady me". That's what I need God. I feel like I'm wavering and I need your hand to make me rock solid. I know that if I do fall that You alone are my safety net. But I don't want to fall. I know life isn't perfect and people have stuggles, but I'm scared. I don't want to struggle.

As I was messing with my blog the song "Rest easy" that's on my playlist at the bottom of my blog came on. The words are perfect...Rest easy have no fear. I love you perfectly and love drives out fear. I'll take your burdens. You take my grace. Rest easy in my embrace.

Hmmm... I wonder if He's trying to tell me something:)

Maybe I should pay attention.

Thanks for listening.

Golf virgin no more!

Last night I had the most fun. I got to actually play GOLF. Before we had kids, my honey and I would go to the driving range and hit a bucket of balls, but that's been 10 years ago. So needless to say I was a little nervous when my friend Michelle invited me to go to a Ladies Golfing Event. Michelle's friend Barb has a membership at a country club so she could bring three friends. Their group had an extra spot and it was free so I was I was IN!

Michelle (in the pink shirt) used to be on a golfing league in high school, so she was amazing! It was so cool to be out there with someone who actually knew what they were doing. When she would tee off and hit the ball it would soar through the air just like it was supposed to.

Amy (in the brownish shirt) had never golfed before either, so between the two of us it was a competition to see how many swings it would take for us to actually hit the ball. It was so frustrating and hilarious!! Because we were taking so long, half the time Amy and I were running with our little push carts all over the greens:)

Having no golf experience, needless to say I had no golf clothes, so this is the goofy outfit I came up with:) It was 97 degrees here yesterday, so by the end we were all really tired, sweaty and stinky, but it was a whole lot of fun.


Have a blessed day!

Safe Haven

I've had this post rumbling around inside of me for awhile. I am really humbled by this whole blogging experience. I have finally found an outlet that lets me express myself...flaws and all. I am beyond grateful for every single one of you that have been reading along. Those that stop what you are doing and write an encouraging word or share a similar experience, you will never know how much it really means to me. I believe that life is a gift and it's meant to be shared with others and you must know that you have become my safe haven...my support system. I am so glad that I decided to dive into this new endeavor and to more or less bare my soul, because I'm the one that has walked away with a new spring in my step....THANK YOU!

Do me a favor. If you subscribe to my post every day and haven't signed up to "follow" me please go into my blog and on the sidebar become a follower. It's where all the little faces are. I would love to know who I am writing to:)

Have a blessed day!
