Just Breathe

My fingers are typing words while taking in a Deep Breath. Go ahead and breath too. Deep breaths are good for the soul.  I understand. Life can take us all for some twists and turns. Our family has been on this ride for the last seven months.

Some days it’s hard to wonder which way to go. It is a long path, you know. The road gets dusty. We fall down. We stand back up on our two feet. And walk.

We don’t always have it together. But God does. Let me say that again. God holds all things together. He says so in His word. {Colossians 1:17}

You like us may have faced some challenges over the last few months. Maybe a seed of doubt has crept up in your heart. At first feelings of peace washed over you. It brought great joy. Or maybe you still have peace over whatever situation you are facing. We have felt peace, joy and doubt all in different ways.

Let’s look up. Take a breath. Fix our eyes on the one who holds all things together.

Breath by Breath. Moment by moment. Walking and Praying.

During our times of transition is is essential during all the noise we step into the solitude for the quiet and the whisper of His voice. Lets be daughters who do this on purpose.

I needed to hear these words today. Maybe you needed to hear them too.

Hugs n Prayers,

31 Days of transition {Day 2 -4}

These past few days I wish I could say my fingers have been typing away on the keyboard with some amazing posts on transition. Not so much.  As soon as I would turn on the computer the internet would not stay on. Oh how it was stepping on my fancy. Isn't that the way it goes. You set out to do a post for 31 days and because of computer issues it trickles down to combining three days into one post.

Here it is close to 11 p.m and I can barley keep my eyes open. This transition thing here at our home has literally wiped me out. Not gonna lie. I am tired and so is everyone else under the Temple Team roof. We are learning transition makes one sleepy. *yawn*

With that said, I am going to say Goodnight. I feel like we should all be gathering in our jammies and reading the story Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. It is a wonderful children's book.

Goodnight moon.

Goodnight cow jumping over the moon.

Goodnight clock.

Goodnight socks.

Goodnight to all of you who gathered to read here today.

And thank you for showing grace on days 2, 3, and 4.

31 Days of transition {day 1}

The calendar has been turned and the first day of October is upon us.                         This means transition into another season.

For the Temple Team{our family} this transition is more than the season of pumpkin pie, bonfires and all things Fall. It is a season of growing and trusting God with the adventure He has for our  family.

This past Friday the airline my husband worked for took it’s last flight. It was a sad day in the airline industry. My husband worked for them for close to fifteen years. Life as we know it will change. We are stepping into the unknown. Transition is hard.

Over the next 31 days I hope you will join me as we walk thru this transition together.  I can assure you there will be some g-r-o-w-i-n-g and s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g  going on. So put your seatbelt on, put your seat back and tray table up because we are about to take off and soar into the sky of transition.

I am not sure what each day will bring here. I just know I will be sharing my heart and praying that it will encourage others in the midst of transition. Want to join the community of 31 Dayers? Then be sure to click here.
