As we do in every year, we make changes. This is nothing new. Change is a part of daily life. There is no “normal.” We live in the present and deal with what is happening today. I received an offer from the Lord to change my journey.
Continue reading “Lenten Adventures”There is no denying the facts. For most of us, the journey is hard. The losses have been great and have touched everyone I know. We all have had to make adjustments in our travels. I’ve been thinking about my route in 2020. Maybe you’ve had a similar experience.

The turmoil racing through my soul this week caused me to remember a favorite Aunt. I have been in the mountains on our annual January trek before the vacation rental house is closed until spring. Some of this precious time I found myself asking the same question she asked so many years ago.

What do you think? Do I leave the year behind, rush headlong into an uncertain future, or ponder the past and see how it applies. Like so many of us, year 2020 has switched up my perspective. It is the year when it fell apart. When things didn’t work out as planned.

Yes, the mountain girl went to the beach yesterday, Christmas Eve, and that is Florida ‘snow’ that you see on the water. A cold front moved through SoFlo* this morning.

I guess today the phrase is, let’s grab a cup of coffee. I remember coffee or tea as an established part of catching up, not the main event. Catching up was all about friends, family and life.

The world seems dark right now. This is not the first time our world has walked the path of darkness. I watch my Christian brothers and sisters falter, and it breaks my heart. Then I ask myself, where is my faith? My soul whispers, “remain faithful.”

Lately I feel like I am out running a major storm of Cat 5 proportions. Everywhere I look, I see panic. Warnings of shutdowns and threats of more violence abound on the news that filters to me. The “run run hurry hurry” panic builds in my chest. Slow down, Milly. Let’s see through the darkening atmosphere.

Have you ever switched your thinking? I know for me my thinking does switch. It is about gaining knowledge and wisdom as we grow. New information (knowledge) is meant to change us. The question is, does it change me for the better?
