this sorta cuts to the chase on matters......... perhaps i'll learn to stop running.

Seems life is re-inventing it’s Self again. I’ve stumbled upon a book whilst cleaning ...(thank you Caroline!) called, “Composing a Life”. - Mary Catherine Bateson.
Love the thoughts on life as a improvisation. It’s challenging the preconceived perceptions that seems to prevail; that you are a screw up if you are faced with having to re-define and re- focus due life’s curve balls.
I’ve been known to say that all constants can become variables with one small emotional hurricane.
OK, ok... perhaps small, emotional and hurricane is minimizing a wee bit. It has been a sea of emotions with some potential rocks to be dashed against.
I love the SEA... and i’m way overdue for sand in my toes, but part of the reason i love it is because it’s constant but changing. It has its rhythms with the tides, but external forces effect & affect it almost hourly. The vast waterscape with it’s recessions and expanses on shores forever calls me to dance.
So the sea of my heart has to give up it’s dead daily as well as embrace the currents that bring forth life on new shores.
Jesus calmed the sea and walked on water. He never rejects, never betrays and never abandons... His love Never Fails.
I think this next season of my life, i want to walk on water. amen.

Re-Creating.
seems i've been in a bit of a whirlwind of sorts. Guess i'll be blogging again soon... at least on a more intentional level. This might be the shortest post; yet longer than a 140 character mini chirp on the matter. The one thing i feel Abba speak during these days; that are often plagued by the mundane, is His spoken question to my heart; "do you trust me in this". Guess that's the question always...
The voice that counters that, is the same garden snake version, of ... "did God really say" in that hissing questioning, that seems to fill the shadows of that light.
I know enough about His heart FOR me, that though some of this Isn't comfortable, i know He's got sum skill in that surgical tool He's wielding.
I'm watching Him in the process of Re-Creating ..... which i think is a by-product of Reconciliation. I'm thinking that before any Recon-ciliation can take place, that we reconcile to His heart first. Setting things in order has to come from the Head down... from the authorizing standpoint as well with understanding of heart &&&&&&& mind.
That's where the Heart & Head are dwelling these days. certainly, not boring.......
