New way to meditate
At my mom's group "Breathe" last week, a woman shared her journey and a new way God had showed her to get his Word in her heart. I would like to share it here:
- take two lines or so of Scripture
- sing it
- say it in your own words as a prayer
- write out God's response eg: "I worship You" is responded to with "I love your worship"
- post the Scripture where you can see it all day...
It's amazing what singing the Scriptures does...it sticks in your head and heart and comes to life. And writing out God's response, his side of the story, is really powerful as well. We used Psalm 63 (first couple verses) and I recently used Psalm 25:4-5. If you read this, I encourage you to experiment with this. Then let me know what Scripture became more real to you and what your experience was.

Spring is here!
We had our first picnic today. Pizza. A little chilly in the shade, but the pizza tasted the best ever! It was fun to pull out our jean blanket, still sandy from the beach last summer. We've had two barbecues in the last week, too. One was kabobs. Rod made these awesome bacon-wrapped steak cubes and mushrooms and I made some potato ones and even put fruit on a stick for fun! I raked up all the dead leaves and grass in our front yard. I love being outside!
Alas, I still have income tax, PST and GST to do this month. But on the positive side, I've been doing some of the work in my sunroom. What a treat! I think I've been blowing these tasks out of proportion. You really can eat an elephant one bite at a time.
Rachel just turned six months old. She is so sweet. Pictures coming soon!
