When Lightening Strikes...

When lightening strikes in the direction you're heading you can either see it as a sign to turn away or as a lighting of your path.

You feel the lightening in your gut, deep down in your soul. Your heart understands what it's telling you. You have but one decision.

You can follow the lightening that strikes your heart and soul, or you can pull back in fear of its power. Beware of the fear; it's your own heart you're afraid of. -Ronda Rae Franklin

Rest ~ the fresh trail of tomorrow awaits a refreshed you.

"As you lay your head down at the end of this days journey, remind yourself that it is a journey you are on. You need this time to rest. It does no good now to ponder what you wish you would've accomplished in the time that is behind you, or give worry to tomorrows trail. Let go and give way to rest, so your journey can begin anew as if no time has passed. 

As you lay your head down at the end of this life's journey, remind yourself it is a journey you are on. It's time for you to rest. It does no good now to ponder what you wish you would've accomplished in the time that is behind you, or give worry to the trail that now awaits you. Let go and give way to rest, so your new journey can begin as if no time has passed."

"Broken to Grace" - Living in the grace of God

Living in the grace of God..."In my eyes, this is the most precious and merciful place of faith to enter into and live. It is where peace is understood. It is where love, Godly love, is second nature - or rather first nature. It is where we accept who we are in God, and let go of who we think we need to be to earn our place with Him. It is where we know in our soul that we are with Him always. And it is that understanding that brings us to the place of peace so deep within ourselves that it is not easily conveyed through words, if at all. Explanation is no longer a necessity. His will surrounds us and binds us in His love, mercy and grace."
