Effortless Help


In days past, whenever I have asked for God’s help and help has appeared, it has always been an ‘effortless’ help. 

Everything has just fallen so easily into place. Moving countries was effortless. Sure I had my part to play, had to pack everything up, and get organized, but the whole process was effortless. Work appeared, houses appeared, all the help we needed when we needed it, appeared. There was no struggle. There was no resistance. 

The same when I met my husband. I prayed and prayed to meet one person in the world that would love me. And when it happened, it was effortless. I didn’t have to fight and scream and go through turmoil, it was just easy and peaceful. And effortless.

For a few years I have been feeling unsettled inside. Not knowing where to go or what to do. I have failed miserably  at a few things I have attempted, had my self-esteem and confidence destroyed, and felt hopeless and even worthless.

But I realize, with God’s help the change that I need will happen, and it will happen effortlessly. I won’t need to jump through hoops, perform all manner of party tricks, or sell my soul for something to happen. It will just be. In God’s perfect time and way, and when it happens, it whatever way it manifests, I will be willing.

Help, Perfumes!

It’s my BFF’s birthday next week, and I’m considering buying her a perfume. Because a woman is not dressed until she has on perfume. Perfumes react differently on different skins, but needs must, I will have to go with a good, safe choice. Any suggestions? Do you have a favorite? Estée Lauder beautiful? D&G light blue? Chanel coco? Chanel no. 5? (And don’t worry she doesn’t read my blog!) 

Finding the Love

You cried for help
I turned away

You screamed to me
I covered my ears

You pleaded
I closed my eyes

Until the sun faded
And all was still

And then

I turned to you
I saw you scream
I heard your plea
I felt your pain

I found the love

Despair

I’m drowning

I try and reach for air

I’m sinking

I call but you are nowhere

I’m dying

I pray for you to be there –

There where my prayers

Fly to, and there where

My hope leads me to.

My sinking heart

Leads me to

Despair.

Saddle Up!

Saddle With Stirrups

Without you I would be a shadow
Of the help I could extend to you
Your love lifts me to that higher place
Of purpose and security
Join me on my journey
As we travel into the future
From here
