HAPPENINGS

Well, hello there!! I have been out of pocket for a bit. Life is happening and I am enjoying it very much. My husband, Jerry, started a new job this past week. I am plugging along at my job and planning a coffee shop. Yep, a coffee shop!! The kiddos are awesome and living life to the fullest.

A coffee shop is in my future!! I heard from God that unspoken dreams need to be spoken again. It took me a few days to realize that I needed to be speaking, planning and building a coffee shop. A safe place for people to be loved, shown Jesus and given hope. Something simple right? Well, in theory it is but in practice it is very complex. 

I am learning about different corp filings, 501(3)c, espresso machines, barista schools and leasing property. So much information is coming in and I am having to process it very quickly. And that is not happening too quickly. I have started a journal to keep track of everything. From a shop name to possible locations. It is overwhelming but taken one step at a time I know this dream will come to reality.


So this time next year I will be opening up a drive thru coffee place to love on people and serve some awesome coffee.

Here I Am

 Here I am. Messed up, hurting, struggling, questioning wanting to love God person saying the most important words I have ever prayed. They are also the most frightful, ugly, hurtful words I have ever spoken. You see, I am a Christ follower who is just now realizing who Christ is, who He really is. I have known about God for over 20 years. I have tricked  other people into thinking I was close to God. In reality I was not reading my Bible, praying or really living like I knew Christ. I bet you are wondering why I would put this out there. Well, I am wondering the same thing. LOL I am telling you my story because I know in my heart that there is someone out there who is walking that same path or just coming to know who Christ really is in their life. I am talking about living with the loving, kind, all powerful, wise Christ. Not the cruel, heartless,  judging God we hear about so often. I am telling this for them and those wondering how to truly worship God...

Alignment

Alignment is a position of agreement or an alliance. You can be in alignment with so many different issues, choices, relationships, beliefs. You get to chose what you align yourself with. Be it a hobby, a religion, a relationship or an issue. It is always your choice.  I chose to be aligned with my creator, My God. He is the one who has breathed life into me. He has shaped my heart, mind, past and future. My alignment with Christ is personal. It is fulfilling. It is habit forming. It is life giving.  I chose to believe and act on that. Aligning myself with God does not mean I can sit back and vote only once. It does not mean I wait and see what happens. Aligning with Christ means you chose daily to renew your mind, heart. I am seeking your will, desire for my life. I am reading God’s word, creating a spiritual family, making choices that line up with God’s word not my will, not my desire or even what I see here in the natural.  When I chose to align with...

PERSPECTIVE

I wear purple safety glasses.The one thing I have noticed with my eye protection is how it allows me to see things in a clear, crisp, unfiltered way; yet my eyes are still protected from liquids, nails, screws and metal shavings. I can see the object I am working on without worry something will fly into my eyes and hurt me. As I look at my glasses  and understand what they do I am beginning to see a connection between the glasses and my heart in Jesus's hands. I am able to see what is happening around and even to me at times with strong protection surrounding me. I am not getting hurt, scared, cut or sprayed with anything.  My heart in Jesus’ hands is protective while allowing us to see what is happening around us. It is our choice whether we let Jesus stop the crap from getting through. It doesn’t stop the hurts but lessens them, it makes things more doable with less wounding. 1 Corn 10:13  No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is fait...
