Belated birthday notes

It’s certainly not a bad thing when I forget to post my Facebook entry about my birthday in a timely fashion here as well. It’s a sign of progress that it’s no big deal to be catching up three days later!!

Thank you to everyone who reached out to wish me a happy birthday. It’s been a beautiful, blessed, refreshing & delightful day. Gene went above & beyond to find beautiful yellow roses, then he traipsed through Bricktown & Scissortail Park with me, on an afternoon that started close to 80 degrees & windy & was much, much cooler (& still windy) by time we went to an early dinner at Cheever’s. We didn’t make it to a lake for fishing; instead, we stopped at Bass Pro to stock up on crank baits, frogs, jerkbaits, jig heads & other fine tackle! I’m more than happy to let Gene use as much of it as he wants!! 🤣🎣❤️

Fresh scoops from Braum’s were a sweet ending to our day. I thank God for Gene & my family & friends. I am richly blessed. I pray my life can spread God’s light & love to others as so many have shared with me. #birthdayblessings #birthdayroses #yellowroses

Keep marching

The doom & gloom of March 1 faded as all of those commitments worked out fine. 

Now it’s Sunday, March 5. I read the previous post as I checked to see if I had posted anything this month, thinking I hadn’t. Interestingly, tonight I’m again having doubts about choices of today & yesterday. It’s good to be reminded that despite my second-guessing & faltering faith earlier this week, everything worked out fine. I think God wants me to have faith I can continue to trust Him to work for good, just not necessarily on my timetable. I pray to be willing & able. 

March

Help me, Lord!!

I thought I had turned a corner toward a brighter future. 

Now I’m back in the too-familiar old dilemma, surrounded by chaos & unfinished tasks after offering gifts of presence & encouragement to others.

What happened? I quit weighing my choices & priorities against my values & goals. I took on too much & didn’t think things through as I decided what to let go. I lost focus & started surfing — wasting time on less important things. 

What now? Continue to pray. Confess my mistake & the mess it caused. Accept God’s grace & forgiveness & extend the same to myself. Acknowledge a step back. A slip doesn’t have to become a relapse. With God’s help, I can pause, pray, trust, obey, breathe, rest & give thanks as my life marches on.
