Urgh’s
My heart has been hungry for more of God and feeling less satisfied with where I am spiritually. What will it take to satisfy me? Well, since I have been praying that and saying that…chaos has occurred.
No, not in the form of turbulent storms…but in the “Urghs” aggravating things of life; You know, little things that cause stress, and as they mount up, the overwhelming feeling of an avalanche of emotions overtake you …. and then before you know it, you have a full blown “ Urghs”.
When he spots a bit of progress, baby look out—he is about to send some of his slimy forces to attack.
Huh? The next one? Yes. Girlfriend, there will be battles until the day He calls us home. If you don’t resist the devil…I’m afraid the suffering will go on and on and on….and on….and on…..
I’m learning not to be so proud when I have trouble or anxiety about a situation…
I e-mail Spirit filled women in my life.
(The Lord has crossed our paths and we have clicked. For a reason maybe known only to God, He planted us together. Not in the same state… or even same continent Ha!!! )
but with the same heart and GOD
Sometimes I visualize my prayers. Sometimes I “see myself” bringing my “box of trouble” to the Lord. Sometimes I see myself “running” to the cross dragging a heavy mangled up sack. Sometimes the need is so great, I am crawling on my hands and knees and it is tied to my ankle as I drag it before the throne.
However you have to get it there…do so. Get it there and leave it. Let Him untie the bindings from your life. Whatever may have your heart all bound up, let Him cut the cords and remove the hindrances.
FREEDOM is Awaiting

It took me a long time but I think I have finally learned to dump all that stuff at his feet and leave it there.
By the way how is Isaac?
Heidi? You have the coolest pictures. And thoughts to go with them.
my intention today is to bring my box of trouble to the Lord. i’ve been carrying it on my own for too long.
I remember when I was younger thinking all my problems will be solved by Wednesday. I would think of things in my life that I was dealing with and figure out when they would be over. It is interesting that when we make it through to the other side of them other things pop up. Sometimes I work so hard to overcome things in my life. Many times those are the time when I am reminded to be still. The Lord reminds of Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God. (KJ) In the NASB, it says to Cease striving. So many times I think my walk is work, when God never meant it to be like that. Of course, this is much easier said then done!
“FREEDOM is Awaiting”
And what a precious gift it is from Him. No matter how long until the next battle.
I had a small spiritual breakthrough last night and it was so Freeing. It felt so much better then the reaction that I usually have in that situation. It gave me a sense of peace that I will carry with me when the same situation arises again. And I know it will.
I felt FREEDOM last night. I continually Seek my PEACE and last night I had it. I REALLY REALLY HAD IT!!!

sometimes you make me want to scream…YES!!!! YES, THAT’S IT!!! ok. well most of the time i do that anyway!
this post lifted a weight off me. it truly did.
and a sidenote. does the chick in the pic have hairy armpits? totally looks like it to me.
THAT’S why she’s so frustrated!
Oh!! what an image on my blog…

what armpit hair? i don’t see any armpit hair. just a gorgeous woman having a bad day…
so… i have to ask AGAIN — do you take all the pictures you post on your posts?
it is hillarious cause if you look very closely on the left side. i take about 50% of my pictures but this one i didn’t.
oh wow. well, your sister will have a laugh about us spotting pit-hair in her picture!
well, hopefully she’ll laugh.
she’ll never see it….my sister is the el natural queen and pit hair is normal haha
oh really?!
well all right!!!!
truthfully,
she’s so eccentric and beautiful. no cosmetics except cocoa butter, no blow dryers, no razors (ha) I think she does shave though, but this picture was taken in Argentina.
No meat or by products……. el natural….
oh soo not me…. bring me some cow now!!!
They say we’re only as sick as the secrets we keep. I spent long enough being sick. It’s so important to have people you can trust in your life – it doesn’t matter where they are as long as you can connect – that is … if their SERVER is working.
Somewhere, somehow I am going to try and fit into this conversation – ? want my picture ?? Sleeveless ?? How is Isaac doing? Mama mentioned him in prayer last night and we were just wondering how he is.
how now brown cow.
