Beyond the stuff is a happy Thursday

-
“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.”
- Corrie Ten Boom*

Not that my life circumstance dictates it to be... but Happy Thursday nonetheless... 

Today, I have several concerns running through my mind. My heart is heavy - weighted down with real-hard life issues some of "My Other Kids” are facing; add in real concern for one of my own daughter’s “Other Kids” who is in the hospital due to an accident; then consider my bank account being lower than I would like for it to be; and finally, the cherry on top: the office went from being "stuffy" to being a tad "cold". 

So no...my Thursday is not ideal by any stretch of the imagination. 

But these things oughtn’t not dictate if today is indeed a Happy Thursday. What my “ideal day” should look like is any day that God gives me, to use as I will. Any day He is with me. Any day hemmed in with prayer. He won’t force me to enjoy or hate any particular day – as a matter of fact, the Apostle Paul says we are not to esteem one day over another (Romans 14:5) - but to live everyday life to the full. So today, troubles intact, worries aplenty, with air in my lungs and a song in my heart – I choose to have a Happy Thursday and wish the same for you: that you will choose, on purpose, to have a real Happy Thursday.

In Christ with love and compassion –

Coach Kelly

Create in Me

"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me" (Psalm 51:10) SEVERAL years ago, I drove across a few back WVa back roads, across Dolly Sods and Red Creek.  While taking this picture, I considered how the creek,  (pounced crick where I come from),  had marked out its own path . The interesting thing about a creek, is that when the water is high, it hides what’s laying in the creek bed; but a low water level reveals unsightly debris. Some debris, fallen trees and leaves, occur naturally. Other stuff, tires, plastic bags, bottles, they are deposited there on purpose. But debris is debris…and it mires the beauty of the creek and can change the course of the waters flow. Interestingly enough, Christians have a lot in common with a creek…and  when a Believer’s faith ‘ebbs and flows’, it sends a message to anyone watching, and they will  take notice. We’re all guilty of the spiritual ebb and flow phenomenon.  When our faith is high...

Christmas Wonderings

  I wonder if I  pray differently than most people? Or maybe I pray exactly like most people…? My mind wanders, I fall asleep, I get interrupted…and then I’m done. Sound familiar?  What I need is to be outside, away from distractions. So this chilly morning, wrapped in a heated blanket on an enclosed porch, I entered into a quiet place of prayer. As an author, writer, introverted-mess, I’ve found the best way for me to talk to God is to write my part out and wait. As I’m sitting here this morning, enjoying Christmas on the porch and blogging, I thought of King David. He didn’t always have an ideal place to pray, yet that didn’t stop him from jotting down some desperate prayers. I’ll go out on a limb here, and assume that like me, he had some introverted traits, too.  Maybe that’s why I can relate to David’s prayers. I love how his writings jump from distress to praise without missing a beat! Still, “ as a man after God’s own heart” (Acts 13:22), I wonder how mu...
