Prayer

i have spent the last day and a half with some of my favorite people.  My sweet Andrew and beautiful Hailey.   Andrew amazes me with his kindness and love. I marvel at this kid's imagination, intelligence and wit. The best memories are made with barrel of monkeys and explaining about the Cross and Jesus. 

My dear Hailey, to see you yesterday is to love you. That sweet face is to the Hand of God!  That brown curly hair and those dark blue eyes gave my heart such joy at first glance. 

My prayer for both of you is to one day know how much I love you and more importantly God's love for you.  

Would you pray with me for the new family of four. 

I love you all!

God Bless you,

Regine

Tuesday thoughts

On my heart today:

Independence:  is something I've longed for.  And as I attempt to do some things on my own, I am realizing how hard it can be, and yet how rewarding as well.  I want to jump for joy.

Reading the Bible has enriched my life immensely.

Hard work can lead to pure joy.

I can get frustrated and despondent, but I have to choose not to let it get me down.  Staying there is not something I can afford.

In Matthew 20, I was reading this verse that has stuck with me.  Many are called, few are chosen.  I want to be worthy of the latter.

God Bless,
Regine

Confession session

I haven't read a book lately that's held my attention.   I have read the Bible so this one counts.  It's held my heart.

I see the Labor Day sale posts and yet I'm still not buying.

I've contemplated joining Instagram, but i don't take pictures, so I don't see the point.

Forty minutes on the treadmill and exhaustion is upon me.

Grace and Humility- what I need

God Bless,
Regine

On my heart

On my heart today:
The song I Could Sing of Your Love Forever
Seeing pictures of my friend's hike along the Carpathian mountain range.


These two things reinforce God's goodness, and how much I am indebted to Him for His grace.
God Bless you all.

Sunday musings

I went to church today, and it did my heart good.  For one hour, I put my thoughts away.  I wasn't of the world.  I worshipped, and I let the pastor's message sink in.  I'm realizing that I'm only at peace in God's Word.  Being of the world has left me angry, and sad beyond tears.  It felt good to be wanted and loved.  It felt good to see the Christian flag and the cross that adorns it.
I'm learning that:
Christ asks to be loved.
The pastor said "He doesn't move, we do"


From Dubrovnik to Paris
the mountaintops to the sea
May Your love reign

Happy Sunday,
Regine
