A tale of wonder

Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Ensuring that the moment experienced is real.

The Present.
The Past. 

The beauty of creation is a constant reminder that life is moving forward. 
The present is fleeting and soon to become the past. 
With each season’s arrival and departure, an opportunity to grow, to change, too become... 

Change isn't always evident.
It is not always able to be measured with precise accuracy.
Rather, it often can be revealed when one is placed back into a situation or particular environment.
The response becomes the evidence. 

And you discover, the past is no longer.

Change can be both frightening and liberating.
But rest assured, you are no longer who you were. 
You are the present.

You are the evidence of the grace you have allowed to work in you.
The beautiful exchange of what was, for what could be.

What could be…
...if only you risked, if only you tried, if only you laid aside your fears and insecurities and allowed Him to show you that He is so much more than you understand. 

All the sacrifice, the pain, the uncertainties, loss and challenges endured.
All the joy, laughter, discoveries and moments of wonder, weave together and begin to create a beautiful picture. 


Breathe in, for you are a masterpiece, a tale of wonder.

Conditions

Conditions. Favorable or unfavorable. These factors become the difference between confidence and the feeling of being out of control. Well acquainted with its quirks and the way it drives, my car and I have driven many miles. Sunshine, warm days and open roads. Driving is both liberating and enjoyable and not merely just a means to an end. Snow, ice, wind and darkness. Driving is stressful, at moments terrifying. And the car that once felt very familiar now feels unfamiliar. Weightlessness upon a surface that was once clear, its boundaries no longer visible. Once familiar, now obscured.  Sunlight that once gave foresight, is replaced by headlights that give fragments of visibility as you move forward in the descending darkness. You know your destination. But the journey towards home is difficult, uncertain, long and slow. You cannot guarantee that you will arrive without incident. You only know, that you have to take deep controlled breath, after d...

Tea & Life

Tea. A delicious warm drink. Also known in England as a Cuppa.... How I enjoy drinking tea. Truth be told, the frequency of which I partake in this rather common and daily habit for some, is quite diminished as of late. I asked myself why this was, as I was soaking up the moonlit sky, on my rather brisk walk this evening. Tea.  Warm, comforting and even more delicious accompanied by scones, clotted cream & jam.... just saying. Of an evening with my Aunt, watching various British period programs,we have been known to consume at least 3 very, very, large pots of tea. My ability to drink tea is rather astonishing. Yet the kettle seldom used and the tea gone more untouched as of late. Why?                                                                               ...

Changing Leaves

"I keep turning over new leaves, and spoiling them, as I used to spoil my copybooks; and I make so many beginnings there never will be an end."   ~Jo March,  Louisa May Alcott, Little Women. A few years ago, I upgraded to a new-to-me, used iPhone.  The camera was better, the storage slightly larger for my obsessive hobby of taking photos of things that caught my eye during walks.  (Let me be honest, it happened far too often, but then again, it's who I am!) My friend's husband jokingly asked if it came with a photo album of leaves, or something along those lines. To his credit, it was a witty and hilarious joke that reflected a reality and truth, that all who were present knew very well... Sheena sure loved to post photos of leaves. I can't help it, my breath catches and I want to document the moment, the transition and to share it with others.  The difference between today and tomorrow is everything in this season.  So, I don't want to miss this moment, th...
