Something I've never done before . . . . .

is upload a video.  This video is a song I play on my keyboard when I'm seeking God's presence, usually before I start my day.

I never knew how to spend time with God.  What do I do?

I'm learning it's by doing anything that draws you closer to His presence, there is no formula.  God is such a personal God.  It can be reading, walking, singing even sleeping.  He's always with me so all I have to turn to Him and say, "Yes, Lord!"

"Shift your focus from your performance to My radiant Presence.

The Light of My Love shines on you continually, regardless of your feelings or behaviors.

Your responsibility is to be receptive to this unconditional Love.

Thankfulness and trust are your primary receptors.

Thank Me for everything; trust in Me at all times.

These simple disciplines will keep you open to My loving Presence."

You'll have to turn your music player all the way up to hear this song.

This song brings me closer to God and re-centers me when I get off base, which is all the time, lol!

First Time . . . . .

To really blog.  I'm a creative soul and spirit looking for my answers and some love along the way.  I know I was put on this earth for a reason and I know what pain and heartache are, but I'm moving past that now.  I seek to connect to others, to have meaningful relationships that add value to each other's lives and to grow in my faith in mankind and all the magical moments life has to hold.

This week I'm off, so I'm planning a big celebration for Thanksgiving with family and loved ones.  I guess I could blog what I'm thankful for . . . . . .
          people in my life who I love
          people in my life who love me
          my two dogs and my cat
          my humble home
          my noble job
          my health
          and my God who is always with me, through it all, giving me the strength, peace and hope I crave and desperately seek.
