dancing

dancing in the rain with Jesus

Rain approached like footsteps.  And it fell like jewels; splashing, spraying, watering, refreshing the earth.  I ran in the midst of this, my feet slapping the wet pavement, my legs hopping puddles, wisps of hair flying, my heart free.  This source of water, this God-given gift, this that enables us to live life -- this rain.  I thanked God and praised Him.  I let go.  And I let Jesus take charge of my life.

           I realize that letting go and letting God transform me is what I always need to do.  I need to always be able to let go during those stormy times in life, and let God take charge over them.

Let's dance in the rain with Jesus.

Let's embark on a life time journey -- letting God be the number one person in our life.  Letting God be the one who can help us dance in the rain -- dance in the storms of our life.  

Will you embark on this journey, too?

when the warm wind whispers

When the warm wind whispers softly, and American flags whip and crackle in the air so fierce, when the stream gurgles, when children laugh and play all day, when sprinklers whir never-ending, and when it's light outside till ten o'clock at night, one knows it's summer.  One can feel it's summer.

       I have that feeling.  That June-y feeling.  I know and feel it's summer.

Oh, joy... oh, summer, I love you so.

'Raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens these are a few of my favorite things...'

--Petals sprinkling the ground

--self portraits out of car windows

-- Sprinklers whirring, making rainbows, making light.

--getting out clothes that are loose and free -- they're especially made for summer, in my opinion. (yep, that's me up there). ;0)

--Hoses watering dry grass ::  Jesus watering my heart, feeding and nourishing me.

--Writing with ink pens -- finishing up school work

-- celebrating the first of June with scrumptious apple coffee cake 

--glorious greens and magnificent blues 

--Cute cards on my desk: for me to look at when I study.  (Thank you for being there, cards!)

--Raindrops glistening on leaves

--Fresh dirt

--Sunlight, 'God's ray from heaven'.

-- freezing and capturing the beauty of delicate purple-colored flowers.

--and going to Stone Henge.

all these things  me smile -- because they're gifts from Jesus.

  

warm wind whispering... yes, that's a gift from Jesus.  

being alive, healthy, being able to dance and laugh and cry:  that's a gift... from Jesus.
