Eyes Open



Winter is upon us and with that comes the harsh cold weather....
The gloominess of bare tress.....
Darkness that settles in the early hours.....
The dying off season........
Purging the old and preparing for the new. 

Looking past the dreariness of winter, we embrace the family time the holidays bring.....
Turning the corner into a new year.....
Thankful for the blessings of the year past, lessons learned and expecting better for the year to come.......
Seasons of loss, growth, and renewal.


Each season  has a purpose but if we walk through them with our eyes and hearts closed, sadly we will miss the joy and beauty found in them.
The same goes for our own personal seasons in life.

Season's of life can come in many fashions.
A season of correction brings maturity.....
A season of isolation teaches us to lean of our daddy God and His ways......
A season of healing brings the removal of old emotional hurts, physical aliments or both.....
A season of restoration allows us to receive all which was lost.

Just as the winter season  brings forth new life come spring....
Our personal life season's do as well however it is up to us to see them and receive them. 

As I am moving into another season in my own life,I pray for my eyes to  be open.....
For my heart to always be receiving......
To recognize the beauty emerging from the ashes.....
To feel His joy even through the growing pains....
To continuously be thankful for each season no matter the struggle, for each struggle brings growth.
No matter the "winter" season we may face in our own lives, there is always a spring.

Do you see yours? 
Or is your eyes closed?

Eyes Open.....



Psalm 119:18
Open my eyes that I may see the wonderful things in your law

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago  (4/8/12) on  "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts.  **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes.....  As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh...

Holding On To Hope

Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. Hope is a feeling of expectancy with the belief of grand things to come. It is a corner stone in order to stay grounded in times of struggle, knowing that this too shall pass. It is a map with directions to reach breakthroughs. This is my definition of hope. I literally cling to hope  just as a small child clings to his mothers leg. To give you a visual close your eyes and picture a child with their arms and legs wrapped around their mothers leg as she attempts to walk across the floor. Can you see her dragging her leg with her child basically sitting on her foot?  That is me and hope. I cling to her and sit on her foot with all my limbs clutching around her. However there have been  times I did not do such a good job of holding on to hope.  Times when I haven fallen and have had to crawl my way back to her digging in with all that...

Discourage by Brenda Yoder

{Dis} courage Does it feel like sometimes there's a big, thick wall surrounding you,   isolating you from all that is good on the other side? I call this wall   discouragement.    I don't like it. Are you discouraged?  What are the bricks in the wall surrounding you today? In discouraging moments, it seems like God is far, far away. Far away on the other side of the wall. No matter how you cry, scream or wail, it's though He doesn't hear. There's silence. That's where the discouragement lies - in the silence. I've been surrounded by a silence lately in the midst of noise .  Can you relate?  The world is SO noisy yet what I long to hear most from is my heavenly Father. I need encouragement.  Do you need encouragement? I was blessed by a blogging friend as I read her post of discouragement ( read it here)   today.   I've been blessed by the faith of friends who are fighting for the life of their child.  P...
