Here's a little Easter Egg happiness from Milliande!

 

 Makes me want to doodle!

And here's a FREE album I stumbled upon at Amazon. (Who knew!) It's folk music, so beware!

Walking & Listening

I’m still preparing to walk a 1/2 marathon this month. I’ve been following a training plan that puts in more miles than the last time I did this. Which is good. Which is hard. Especially now that I’ve lost my walking buddy because she’s hurt her feet. (Big, big frowny face here.) It’s hard to walk alone. So I’ve been listening….

Listening to God – He’s showing me some new things in this season of my life.

Like being is better than doing.
Like He loves me despite of myself.
Like He’s capable of working in and through me if I get out of the way.
Like He is right here beside me every day.  

You know, those kinds of things.  

And I’ve been listening to music. My young friend L gave me a few CDs to try by Trinity Vineyard. Check them out. Really. I’ve been listening to Hymns and Prayers of the Saints. Awesome.

Saturday I listened to St. Patrick’s Breastplate about 10 times while walking. I’ve read the prayer before, probably in this book, but put to music and with this take on the lyrics, God really used it to speak to my heart.

Christ be with me,
Christ within me
Christ behind me
And Christ before me
Christ beneath me
And Christ above me
And Christ a comfort
And restore me

Christ in the hearts of all who think of me
Christ on the lips of all who speak of me
Christ in every eye that looks upon me
And Christ in every ear that hears me

Let it be
Let it be
Let it be so with me
Have Your way
Have Your way
Have Your way, I bend my knees


So, maybe right now it’s good to walk alone? Because I’m not really alone? I’m learning to be still and be quiet. Not so easy.

Blessings on the beginning of your week, bloggy friends!

Tonight

Tonight...

...I'm praising God for answer to prayer for my friend who has cancer. News from her doctor last night says that she's responding to treatment. Thank You, Lord.

...I'm loving, loving, loving this video tonight! It's Her Morning Elegance by Oren Lavie. And his song, A Dance 'Round the Memory Tree is on the Prince Caspian soundtrack.

...I'm cooking two of my mother's recipes: Porcupine Balls and Pear Salad. The first is probably all three of my kids' favorite meal and the second I haven't had in years and years but found myself craving it this morning driving to work. Weird.

...I'm hoping I don't eat one of the two French Silk Pies I made for our book club meeting tomorrow night. (Did you know French Silk Pie has raw eggs in it?!) I think I could seriously eat the whole thing!

...I'm wishing I could draw like this.

'Night, all. Long day tomorrow...
