peace

I am peaceful. As someone would be who is looking at this picture, only as if they were in the inside of it.

I know is has been a little bit since I have posted, but I have been a busy girl :o)

Recently I have been cleansing my life, what it is I partake it, what I do, how I act, what I say, what I watch on tv...and I am telling you what a difference it has made. I am sleeping better, I am happier, I am closer and more at peace with God than I have been in along time.

This change in my life has been preceeded by being intentional with people and being honest with my crap and having people hold me accountable. It is hard as anything. But that is why God created us for relationships and community. I love it.

Secrets suck! They keep us isolated from people and our creator, which is exactly what Satan wants. He wants us to keep those secrets and put that shame on us so we think no one would/could understand what I have done. They will think I am awful person. But guess what you are a crappy person( i mean that in the kindest way i can :o)), but that's ok cause everyone is. No one is perfect. So let someone in on your crap, I bet you will be surprised how they react. If they are good people and don't act stupid and judge you, they will rather receive you with grace as God does.

On my foot I have a tatoo of the word "grace" in hebrew, one of the original languages of the bible. It is sweet and it hurt like heck getting it on the bone in my foot, but it is a good reminder to me that God is grace, all the time. He doesn't care if it is 4 am and I need to talk, where as if someone woke me up at 4 am to talk I most likely would roll over and say see ya in the morning :o) I like sleep what can i say.

Be grace to people, loving them when they surely do not deserve it and when our human nature says no way!

But I think it is time for us as humans to really be raw and get to the bottom of our crap and move on. Live a better life. Be joyful. Be peaceful. For me that means being in God's hand, because He truly has my best and has to sift me before I get those blessings.
