When all else fails....eat pizza!

Spent the weekend in Nashville, Tennessee with my grandson, Alex. What fun watching him discover his world! After a frustrating week, it was a welcomed treat to observe Alex playing outside, exploring his "cardboard house", and eating pizza! I was feeling stuck in my circumstances but I remembered some insights from Messy Spirituality by Michael Yaconelli:
"Getting stuck can be the best thing that could happen to us, because it forces us to stop....
We cannot grow without first giving up and letting go. Getting stuck forces us to see the futility of our situation and to put life in perspective so that we can move on."
It's time to move on, explore this life and let God have control....and eat pizza!

My Movie

Last week at the women's retreat, Dr Bob asked the question "If there was a movie made of your life--how would you feel about it?"

I've thought about that alot this week. Would my life be classified as a"romantic comedy"? Or a"drama"? At times I think "horror flick" would adequately describe it!! (just kidding!). I think it would keep the audience in suspense...never knowing what is going to happen next. You think you have the plot all figured out and then whammy a turn in events. This week has ended in a cliffhanger...but I'm confident in the happy ever after ending.

Matthew 11:28-30 (New Living Translation)

28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Prayer

No ocean can hold it back.

No river can overtake it.

No whirlwind can go faster.

No army can defeat it.

No law can stop it.

No distance can slow it.

No disease can cripple it.

No force on earth is more powerful or effective than the power of prayer.
