About Me
I live in Highlands Ranch, CO. I have lived here for over twenty-four years with my family. My husband and I have been married for forty years. We have two grown sons, who cumulatively have five children, (our grandchildren). We live within an hour of both families. We have the advantage of living close to the mountains and most of our days are sunny and blue sky. Our winters are mild, averaging temps of 42 degrees. I love the outdoors - hiking, cycling, skiing, disc golfing, walking, relaxing and sometimes sunbathing. I like the balance of being active and being still. Taking care of myself is important to me. Eating healthy and exercising is important to me. My husband and I have a saying, "keep moving!" We love to travel. We love to travel to warm locations with a beach, but we also love discovering new spots with small towns and Europe.
I love communicating with others what God teaches me through Bible study. He speaks to me in my spirit as I listen. It's at this time He is giving me something to share on my blog.
The greatest hindrance I have is not carving out time to write and edit. I know It must be a priority.
In January, I heard a sermon by Andy Stanley on surrender. He shared what he does every day. I took a snap shot of this and then re-wrote these words out so that I could pray this every day.
Each day I pray:
Heavenly Father, I surrender myself to you.
my hands, my feet,
my eyes, my ears,
my thoughts and desires,
my hopes and dreams,
my talents and opportunities.
I surrender all.
Thy will be done through me today.
He has been DOING A LOT OF WORK in my life as a result. He has stilled the storms of my heart where there used to be anger, misery, depression, contempt, expectations, disappointment, wanting others to fulfill my needs, wanting others to make me happy, blah blah blah - the list goes on. He has freed me from all this. He even has led me to let go of some toxic and unhealthy relationships. I met with my counselor, Jana, and she confirmed, "you are weeding the garden". There have been some lies in regards to this that she spoke that I need to not listen to. Another counselor put it this way, "letting go of someone doesn't mean you wouldn't welcome them back, but for now, you are letting go and returning back to a full embrace of life." When she first shared this with me years ago, it had some significance, but now it has even more. My heart is free. I am choosing to delight myself in God and His Word. He still has work to do in me and will continue till I meet Him face to face in heaven. He has promised me in His Word, "being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." I am so thankful that He never gives up on me, never forsakes me, never turns His back on me. HE LOVES ME TOO MUCH. As long as I have breath, He has plans and purposes for me to carry out.
I hope the blog posts that I share on this blog will benefit you and your walk in this life. Jesus is my RESCUE and I hope He is yours too. I will keep looking to Him, not others, to recognize lies, seek Him for direction, praise and worship Him, and continue to align my heart with the Truth.
