Catch your Breathe... (Five Minute Friday)

Catch your breathe...
Catch a moment...
Catch laughter; that may have been thrown away...
Catch your blessings- even when you don't quite see them coming.
Catch each other- when we are falling...
Let God catch us when we cannot catch ourselves; let alone each other.
In these moments let us feel the peacefulness in catching Gods love.

5 Minute Friday: Ordinary

You are not ordinary- you are Gods creation.
There is nothing ordinary about that!
This major detail in life takes years to grasp.
He has formed you and I with our very own gifts to offer others.
These unique gifts are designed to speak into others lives,
those with their very own- not at all ordinary personalities!
There is nothing ordinary about Gods creation-
YES- that means you and me-
When we feel ordinary; remember -YOU- are- HIS - NOTHING ORDINARY ABOUT IT CREATION!

Five Minute Friday - "Friends"

It's Saturday- I know. I'm trying to get back into this five minute Friday writing again- because I find it to be so relaxing. Anyway- I'm back- just in time; because I really need to get showered and ready for the day.
Fridays word was "FRIENDS"

Here goes:

We hear it said time and time again that in order to have friends; one must be a good friend. In fact I just saw it on a school classroom door; just yesterday.
It made me think, not just think but take a moment to say a short prayer.

You see I have been so let down by friends that I have become super shy; and worried that I may not ever be someones best friend. Where does this come from?; I ask God. It stems from a horrible word called jealousy- Not jealous of people and their things- but a different kind. Jealous of other woman's friendships. They seem so unattainable to me; that I've found myself in a place of flat out giving up. With a focus on that I cannot realistically be a good friend.

But back to the poster on the door- It isn't about having friends- it really is about being a friend.

- this I do know...

I have a best friend- His name is Jesus- and he is showing me through His example of being my best friend- just how I can do the same for someone else.

And for this...I am grateful.



AND .... STOP.

5 minutes is up. Have a Great Weekend! I thank God for giving me a lot to reflect on.
