THE CURRENT EQUATION

+ = March 2-6, 2009!!!

I am very aware that i have neglected xanga in the last 6 months...so please try not to rub it in.  BUT I'm here for the present and am presenting my 6 months in review...

Cor's wedding in CANADA...so special to be involved and had a WONDERFUL time reconnecting with 2 lovely ladies...both who I only see once a year MAX but the heart connection is still there. Always will be.

CAMP COUNSELOR IN INDIANA....5 special, lovely ladies. Only a week. 

JEWEL...I miss you...But significant other I know you are smack dab in center of God's will.  Such a great example of how to experience peace and contentment in life.

FAMILY REUNION...Where would I be without my family? I love you all!

SOUL FRIENDS FROM IOWA...GOD'S GIFT TO ME...MY CRUISING PARTNERS.. You've have helped me through/in the past 6 months. Good, bad, up, down, near, far---we can still get back together...

FLOODING...8 miles from home...out the back door of my former place of employment. 

FREEDOM RALLYS...my heartbeated a little bit faster....My SARA DARLIN....yay for early morning breakfast...I love being in your presence!

CAMPING IN MY BACKYARD WIT AJ...I can depend on you to just BE. I love you

Only several pictures to represent the months. It doesnt do justice because I never have my camera at the right times. 

Good times in past 6 months.  Tough times in past 6 months.  Searching times in past 6 months...but the above things/people have been there in the midst of it.  Thank you friends. Thank you GOD...my ONLY HOPE.

PAIN the gift nobody longs for still it comes, and somehow leaves us stronger when it's gone away.
I pray for YOUR will to be done and I confess it's never fast enough for me.
It seems the hardest part is waiting on You Lord, when what I really want is just to see YOUR hand move.
I want a peace beyond all understanding, I want to feel it fall like rain in the middle of my hurting.
I want to feel YOUR arms as they surround me, and let me know that IT"S OK to be here in this place.
RESTING in the place that only comes, in the waiting!  Time to just let go and JUST BELIEVE, trusting in what no one else but You can see.  Freedom from the fears that close me in, when I can't get beyond where I have been.  But then again the silence doesn't mean that I'm alone, as long as I can hear that I am STILL YOUR OWN.

I confess, the above are songs lyrics, not original with Sharon....I STAND AMAZED, and BOW IN ADORATION, I DANCE, then STAND IN AWE of what God has done, I SING HALLELUJAH one moment and CAN BARELY SPEAK AT ALL the next....to try and explain it would mean a way longer post and so ladies and gentlemen let me just let you in on a little secret I've found...keeping your eyes on yourself brings nothing but unfullfilled, heaviness and unsettled incompleteness but lifting your eyes to the maker of the moutains you can't climb, to the calmer of the raging storms OH MY WORD talk about indescribable good stuff pulsing through the veins! Good stuff defined as "hard things and easy things", but seeing a bigger picture of my Creator in it all.  Because it doesn't make sense but all I know is I'm living FREER then I have in awhile...That doesn't remove pain but moves us to THE PERSON who allows me to feel pain the first place.

So chin up. Yes, both of them.

Oh what to say...

Being stuck inside on a snowy sunday afternoon with 6 amazing girlfriends is pure delight! I have been blessed with the most wonderful friends!

God is sooo good!! :):):) 

(Thanks Nene for that wonderful insight.)

IT'S TIME, IT'S TIME, DID YOU JUST SAY ITS TIME?

No, it's not quite time to update yet...xanga's not quite on the top of my priority list right now . For more reasons then ONE!

There's a time and a place for everything saith Ecclesiastes...and right now is not the time.
