I recently went through and re-read some of my old entries
its so interesting to see the "time line" in my life
as i go from time to time - season to season..
things change - people change - time moves on
but God never changes... he's always constant.

in winter we wish for spring
and then in spring we always wish for summer
..... we are indeed fickle.

You satisfy me more than the richest feast.
I will praise you with songs of joy.
Psalm 63:5


Do not depend on the hope of results.
You may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and even achieve no result at all, if not perhaps results opposite to what you expect.
As you get used to this idea, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness, the truth of the work itself.
You gradually struggle less and less for an idea and more and more for specific people.
In the end, it is the reality of personal relationship that saves everything.
Thomas Merton


So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline.
Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense.
Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you.
And regardless of what else you put on, wear love.
It's your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.
Colossians 3:12

Love is our true destiny.
We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone-we find it with another.
Thomas Merton


change has come
a new season has come..
my spring came upon my winter without warning..
i could not be more thankful..

"For there is a time and a way for everything, although man’s trouble lies heavy on him. For he does not know what is to be, for who can tell him how it will be?"
Eccelesiastes 8:6-7

you never know... you just never know
what will be..
God's purposes and ways are not my own
i will trust in Him and His way...
