on hold or holding on?

ever felt like that? are you on hold or holding on to what seems like the end of your rope? been there myself. know that i am doing this for someone else, maybe even the person reading this. got to keep on though. still reading my book and praying. still got a glimpse of hope, just don't want the flame to die down... keep blowing on the coals, keep fanning into flames. watch for the smoke to rise. know it is coming and you guys will be able to find me on this island. know i am not alone out here.... just maybe i am the only one talking.... talking to myself.

ready and willing

ready and willing to do what it takes, she bends her back and picks up the rake. knowing it all will be worth it someday, but for now she is willing to do what it takes. waiting on a call or a voice from above. it all takes a sacrifice that some are not willing to make. sacrifice. that doesn't mean that it is given to you on a plate. sacrifice, to suffer a loss, to give up, to sell as a loss, to deny something precious will i do what it takes?

never done

just reminded that i should not criticize for some thing that i have never done or haven't been willing to do myself. i can't lead where i won't go. i can't love unless i am willing to show (love).

chance

no happenstanace. no such thing as chance... just in need of an opportunity, an open door.

little brother

outstretched on the floor, he snores. one ear rises and falls again. guess he heard what he needed and wasn't interested this go around. seems a little sad, because big brother left on a trip without him. trying now to give him some one on one. scared him when i spoke to him... up he jumped barking like a tough man.... now wagging his nub. give me that rope boy. yeah. I know you want to play.

give up

we are supposed to give up. we really are. we can't fight by ourselves. we must give up. give (it) up to God. Even financially. Give up to God.

thinking about a movie i saw with some friends recently. wouldn't recommend it, but it did have a neat thought. it was called sliding doors. basically was all about how our lives would be different if we would have gone through another door instead of the one we went through... or if we would have waited 5 seconds later on doing something. the outcome would possibly be slightly different or major different.

i believe that God is interested in the right time, the right attitude and the right place. Lord, help me to choose to walk through the right door at the right time with the right attitude.
