Prayer

 Any prayer requests?

Tell me what your heart feels?

Tell me your wins?

Activate

 In Your Prescient and Providential nature, I start a new journey. I will look for the opportunity to learn and to trust. My soul rests in the knowledge of who You are, not in who I am. As I rest my heart and exhale. I let go. Hold me. Surprise my sensibilities. Change is not to be feared, embrace it. Riding the waves of fear that release the freedom to believe. Activate the faith of the forefathers. My spirit rises to meet the moment. 

2 Timothy 1:7

Waving hi

 Take me back

Nantucket

Roll out

Martha

Greet me

Hyannis 

And let

My soul

Ride

Waves

Home

Island time

 What did vacation teach me?

I’m being taught that waiting is a worthwhile pursuit. I’m learning that people want to connect. They want to help you. They will see your heart. They want to love you. Let them. I’m learning that I’m more than capable. My heart loved Nantucket, my soul was Martha, my mind a Hyannis. What troubled my heart at the time becomes the memory I most treasure. I miss riding the ferry everyday. It gave my mind and body two hours of forced rest just watching the ocean. I’m still pinching myself. God is good even when I am not. Nature is the only salve that always reminds me of where I stand. 

Waves

 The waves 

Lull me 

Into a slumber

Until waves

Lash the

Jetty rocks

Woods Hole

The ferry 

Trying to hold

It’s own

As this human

Begged for 

Ginger ale

Memory

 My vacation was one I will never forget. It amazes me that last week I was on Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. The location was pure fairy tale even when life isn’t. I kept telling myself to be pinched. I couldn’t believe this was my reality. I’ve come back with plenty of seashells and sand in my purse that I don’t want to clean out. I’ve eaten more lobster in every form.  Every bite left me to imagine if my fantasy matched the reality. As I took in God’s creation, my breath got caught, my eyes amazed. The teal and turquoise waters crashing against golden sand will be etched forevermore. With each step, I fell in love with the Creator who exceeds my expectation, and says look. My soul rejoiced when my mind could not. I will say that on vacation, anxiety, still visited me. I needed to feel that ocean air, soft sand, massage those seashells to realign. Different locations teach different lessons, but they all come back with the same message. God is everywhere and in everything. 

Cape

 Back from Cape Cod

Ate more lobster

Than one should

Rode more ferries

Walked beaches

And saw

God’s creation

Putting on a show

Back

 Thank you for all the concern shown. I took a week off for vacation. I’m back. I’m tired, but very happy. I’m full of contentment. How are you all?  I missed you. Fill me in. Regine

Control

 Let it go

Three words

I don’t like 

Because it signifies 

The thing 

I want most

Is the one

Thing

I can’t have

Bible verses

 Would you give me a list of your favorite Bible verses?  Thank you so much. 

Reclaim the Faith

 The power

Is within me

To worry

Or praise

God is faithful

My faith

Needs actions

Not words

Challenging myself

To find the beauty

Where it is

All around me

Faith

 I’m learning 

I must have 

Faith in 

My ability 

To thrive

Not merely survive

Magic

 Write what you know

That’s the saying 

Could’ve fooled me

Or not

What I know

Not much

But this

Is true

Life’s trials

Can be painful

And full of magic

In the same breath

Thank you

 God

Thank you 

For self introspection 

And for the willingness 

To stop

And just marvel

At your goodness

Wins

 Tell me your wins for the day

Picked vegetable

Well water tastes so good

So many pen pals.  

Your turn

Blessings

 Brought to tears

To know

I’ve never 

Met you

But you

Love me

In a way

That moves me

That you desire 

For my dreams

To be realized

And for hope

To spring eternal

You humble me

Leave me wondering

If how you love me

Is how God

Wants us to 

Love each other

Prayer

 I’m having to trust

Trust His Goodness

Trust when the anxiety 

Sets in

Trust His Will 

Is better than mine

Enjoy the day

Not wish it away

Knowing when

To stop fighting

And surrender

Any prayer requests?

Dreams

 It’s early morn

The music plays

As I string

Along a thought

Hoping it resonates

Dreams

Keep me ticking

Keep me going

When I want 

To quit

The desires

Of my heart

Defy gravity 

And a constellation’s

Shine

Happy Monday my friends. 

The Lord’s Day

 On my mind

This morning

I need to practice 

Positive thinking

And being content

In every circumstance

God 

Renew

My mind

Purify my heart

Cleanse me

And let

Your Will prevail

It’s the Lord’s Day

You are to be revered

Glorified and Praise

Friday

 Tell me your wins for the week

What made you smile

Made you think

Hit the ground

Praise God 

And say 

Amen

I am recovering slowly. In addition to hurting myself, I had to increase the amount of medication I was receiving. It’s an adjustment.  I’m glad to have a choice. It’s an honor to get older. I never want to forget that. It is a privilege to learn. It’s a pain to wait, but if that’s the price, I will pay it. God Bless you all. 

Regine

Accepting love

 Acceptance is love

Love is acceptance

And once

It builds roots

It frees the soul

To move

The heart 

To breathe

Love

 Let me love

Deeper than divide

Wider than depths

And find 

The desire

To continue

Doing right

Even if

If doesn’t suit

My motives

Share

 Share with me what’s on your heart?

Resting

 Yesterday

At my pump refill

I got instructions

Slow down

I hurt myself recently

Trying to run

To get the door

And if I heard

Many times

They can wait

You’re straining your body

And not bouncing back

Accept the limitations

I’m not superhuman

I’m Regine

And that will

Have to do

If I don’t visit you all

I’m sorry

Sitting for too long

Is painful right now

I’m not admitting losses

I’m just acknowledging

The truth I’ve always known

But chose to subvert

Thank you

 Thank you 

So much 

For the

Birthday wishes 

For my mom

They made

Her day

Happy birthday

 It’s my 

Mom’s birthday 

Today 

Could you all

Say Happy birthday 

She said 

She wanted nothing 

Being alive

Is more than adequate 

Garden

 It’s Friday

Soaking up

The sunshine

And smells

Of yumminess

From my garden

Love

 Sending lots of love

To a world 

In desperate need

Of it

Tennis

 Bouncing fuzzy 

Yellow ball

About to 

Be smashed overhead

 What is your favorite sport?
