“One hundred years from now, who is to say our attitudes in the present day won’t be taken to task?”
Michele Bogart
You See
You see,
saying, “I see clearly.”
You see,
passing judgement in time.
You see,
so you say, the sins of others
from long ago days-
You see,
and in so saying,
are blind.

Hello Dear Faithful Friends and Followers,
It’s been awhile since I have written for this blog consistently. I remember the days of writing every single morning and sharing…it seems like a memory now. Part of this is my schedule is a little less roomy. Another part is I think I am like Peter looking at the water, instead of the Lord, and I don’t always see clearly. I see all the obstacles- the site that needs updating, the time to write, edit, revise a post, the sharing to Social Media, the critical voices within my own head and without, all the steps and none of the joy I used to have when I was so excited to simply share what God had shown me as I went about my days and weeks.
All that to say…here I am.
A simple share on a blog that is woefully in need of updating from a girl in the smallest state sharing as she goes, this morning’s meanderings, slightly edited, moderately revised, but absolutely imperfect, because – after all…that ‘s how I roll most days.
Without further ado, from my journal and heart this morning…may it be a blessing to you.

Today I want to walk you through a morning of journaling from the heart, to the heart of God. Are you ready?
You will need your journal, and a pen. You will need your Bible, and whatever reading plan you follow, or Scripture you are meditating on for today.
You may have a beverage, but usually my coffee grows cold as I set my pen to writing my heart to God.

As Christians we are encouraged to count our blessings. Most of secular society agrees that focusing on what we have instead of what we don’t is a safe bet toward a better mind set. Medical Research supports thankfulness and an attitude of gratitude has physical and mental health benefits.
But what do you do when you find yourself slowly sinking into a murky swamp of apathy because of the circumstances of your life, regardless of how hard you try to keep your head above water-spiritually, or otherwise?
