Forty Plus Miles

          To begin again, in change again, of weather and life that goes again. To try again, to live again, past busy and constant where it's tough again. To thrive again, regardless of hardships again, focusing not on circumstances but Jesus again; where I begin again, to live again.  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also.

             This is down, buried somewhere in the dark underneath unpleasant work disguised as crawling underneath a building. This is down, seen in front of me as I lay on my back, looking upward in hopes of gaining energy again from exhaustion that is giving me a one-two punch.                "This is down", surprising me at first, written on the bottom half of floorboards that have worn down the original wording, rearranging to the surprising message that strikes me; three words now changing and speaking powerful truths. Creativity sees it, acknowledges the reality of a difficult time, while counting it blessed to have a way to help a tired soul express themselves in a constructive and creative way.                "This side down", seeing both messages, through creativity and reality, what it started out as, building something large and massive only to become something ...

           Flying, flying, and I am watching, somewhere in the heat of an endless summer that keeps trying to hold us. Gliding, gliding, riding fire's winds, those of an August summer heat overstaying it's welcome in this September month. Watching still as wonder enters the scene of daily living, as Heaven offers serenity in a brief moment.             Here I pause, take joy in the blessing of dragonflies colorful and bold, flying on a hot summer's work day; a summer still there, in September.

              I'll write about faces, times and places, three come to mind, where margin I still find. I'll write about family, write happily, even here in the busy. I'll write about faces, in busy times and places.  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also.

      Through windows I see, see beauty and wonder, God's glory in creation; I see the reflection, pointing back to Him.        Through windows of the created I look, to consider what I see, this beautiful thing that points to the most beautiful one, Jesus.        Through laundromat windows I look at it's reflection staring back at me, grateful to Jesus for beauty in the heat.

           Do I have faith, faith that grows, even in uncertain times? Do I still hope even when things aren't easy or right, certain that good will still be? Seeing the miles crossed I remember, remember the goodness of God all the way. Seeing those milemarkers of life's roads I remember as I take time to reflect, considering His faithfulness even in my faithlessness. I still consider these things and my faith builds. Yes, I still have faith. Yes, I still hope. Refusing to go without.
