 ***New Microphone ~ Wind Noise~ My apologies but I'm Not Re-recording** This "original" message was meant to share "just" how it was recorded Thank you for being here! Not a Landing place instead Campsites of Rest This past week so many things to walk through, as a Woman of Faith, I been considering this season. Faith is not just a word along my journey, in fact my Faith references Faith as "Fight the good fight of the faith...(1 Timothy 6:12), for me, it is taking the next step Trusting God without seeing around the corner, over the mountain, or the steps ahead. Trusting God, the fight of "especially" when you don't know the many Whys along the journey behind you or present day, Why "so many" things are allowed along the journey. The Why to so many questions that may not have answers along this road...Faith Not a Landing place instead Campsites of Rest Faith, a trust, even in that declaration, winds continue to blow and you continue to walk, to move forward "Trusting" and even in sharing that here, I still have A Choice, but when you know and you reflect on all the many places that are behind you, you then recognize it is not one thing you could have personally done that allows you to walk with Peace within" in the middle of high winds. Nothing, except the Love and Grace of the God that I love, that I seek daily a relationship with because the Journey is now and there is a walk from now until the journey ends. Please know, to say, to share, doesn't mean "mastered, "No One Said Easy" Faith.. it is drawing from the "experiences of His Love" that are miles traveled behind you that carry you through "right now" present moments. Having faith doesn't mean you sit on a special council, hold a special VIP card, have a hotline number, "for me" it is a Grace that you are introduced to without any efforts that you have put forth. For me, it has been, it is and continues to be a Pursuit of His Ways, His Love, a "relationship" that is beautiful. The best part it is offered as a "Custom Suit" that is fitted by the designer, the creator, it is for You, for Me, for anyone who is seeking there own truth. Not a Landing, Campsites of Rest  My share is not to sign up anyone to My Faith but I would be remiss to know what brought me out of dark rooms, what has been and continues to be Unconditional Love and Grace beyond the words to express and not share my story. My intent is to share the Love, the Grace that carried me this far, through very dark places, hurtful places and God didn't asked for me to clean myself up, to be presentable, to come dressed a certain way, to talk a certain way, to be a scholar of anything, in fact simply invited me to a place that is filled with Love, "unconditionally". ***It doesn't mean you become immune or excluded from challenges, pain or sadness, it means you are not defined by those moments. The God I've come to know, walks in the mud with me, still does, He listens, He shares, He is Love, no prerequisties, no certain works, no numbers to gather to be in His camp, no rituals, allow me to say again "Respectfully" my intent is not to disrepect anyone's faith, including if you don't believe in a God. Here "love" resides and surely if we have a Creator, He Knows your walk, your hurt, your belief and unbelief and He knows you, so He doesn't need me creating a mess with directives about you, someone I may never meet, including the "many" things I don't know about you. The many things, the story behind the "smile" and or behind the "anger". My share is to seek your truth, we should all do our diligence, recognizing the truth that we are willing to die on. Allow me to Pause to say, this is a Buffet Table community, that is built with walls of Love of everything that is shared and if we can meet at that point, great lets just hang out with that. Take what can be an asset and leave the rest behind but know "YOU" are always welcome from the center of "Love" it is the one word that speaks many languages. The God I know Loves and He knows "exactly" how to Connect, to Meet with His Creation. Not a Landing, Campsites of Rest As one with an artist's heart, I have come to learn, that I have to share what is lodged within, it is my release, my fulfillment and God decides "if" and "where" it travels. He will decide and for me that is His Business. Not a Landing, Campsites of Rest In Closing, Life's journey "for me" is becoming "Campsites" of rest, I'm starting to consider there may not be a "landing place" it may be a journey with "campsites of rest". Sooo, I'm continuing to travel forward, living inside out, living with intent, seeking fulfillment in what moves my heart, continuing to plant seeds of Gratitude, "expecting" flowers to grow out ashes along my journey... After all , does anything remain the same?! Is there a "Landing Place" or is it doing our "heart part", small or large, it is doing the things that whispers to the heart, in the moments along our travel, every "single" day. Not a Landing, Campsites of Rest  Thank you for traveling this "unfamiliar" journey with me. "Love Always Wins" #MakingGratitudeContagious is always the Intent
