Life is a Jigsaw Puzzle

As long as I can remember my Mom has had a saying hanging in her kitchen: “Life is a Jigsaw Puzzle…with most of the pieces missing” I have never really liked that saying much. For the last three weeks I have sat in the Cancer Treatment Center working on a puzzle…..literally and I am so convinced that there are many pieces missing. Interesting. There is a lesson here somewhere. Wonder what it is.

Apartment Living

How do they do it? It’s late and so many people moving around. Slamming doors, water running, bang, bang, bang. How do people live in apartments? I guess you get used to the noise. Very little sleep was to be had last night. Hope I will get used to it.

My New Year’s Resolution

For at least twenty years I have had the same New Year’s Resolution. I can finally say I have kept it!!! I’m super excited about finally getting it done all in one year. My longstanding resolution has been to read through the Bible in one year! Well, I did not read through it, but last year (Christmas 2008) the kids gave me an i-pod. I found The Daily Audio Bible and listened to it almost every day. I got a little sidetracked in the fall, but finished it on January 23, 2010!! …..twenty years…finally I get it done!! Persistence finally pays off 

Sometimes We Just Go Through Stuff

No matter who we are, no matter where we’ve been, we just go through stuff. I’ve been thinking about that for a while. It’s been a very trying winter, it’s not over yet, and it’s not been easy. It started in the fall and wow it just keeps on coming. Finally, the fog is starting to lift. I will be glad to be on the other side! I am so happy to be coming through!!

Here It Comes!

Here comes Valentines! It has always been my absolute favorite holiday. I love the colors, the hearts, the glitter, flowers, and of course the candy! Since the tree is still up, maybe I will just take the balls off and put hearts on it!

An angel sent this to me the other day!

The Strength of God's Love

God shows his great love for us in this way: Christ Died for us while we were still sinners. Romans 5:28

"Can anything make me stop loving you?" God asks. "Watch me speak your language, sleep on your earth, and feel your hurts. Behold the maker of sight and sound as he sneezes, coughs, and blows his nose. You wonder if I understand how you feel? Look into the dancing eyes of the kid in Nazareth; that's God walking to school. Ponder the toddler at Mary's table, that's God spilling his milk.

"You wonder how long my love will last? Find your answer on a splintered cross, on a craggy hill. That's me you see up there, your maker, your God, nail-stabbed and bleeding. Covered in spit and sin-soaked.

That's your sin I'm feeling. That's your death I'm dying. That's your resurrection I'm living. That's how much I love you."

Rhonda, God loves you and he always will. Everything will work out in his way. He will make his will be done in your life. I continue praying for you and I love you. Always remember that God is with you and will never leave your side.
