My desire..

I want to live like there's no tomorrow. I want to dance like noone's around. I want to sing like nobody's listening.

Grace!

a life without grace.. isn't a life at all. a christian without grace.. isn't a christian at all.

Beware...

These are my thots the day I write them.. doesn't mean that I may feel that way the next day or the day after.. it is how I feel and think at the moment that I share it.

thanks david

Was reading on my pastor's blog, if you haven't visited it yet you should. http://davidhayward.ca/

There was a prayer that he posted as part of his blog entry and I echo it so strongly I wanted to repost it.

A prayer of Thomas Merton:
“Dear God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself and the fact that I think that I am following you will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe this... I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
I hope I have that desire in everything I do.
I hope I never persist in anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this, You will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it at the time.
Therefore I will trust You always, for thought I may be lost and in the shadow of death I will not be afraid, because I know You will never leave me to face my troubles all alone.”

Ya'll miss my thots eh?

LOL well I find out that more friends read once I closed then I knew when it was open. LOL I have found that I like not having my stuff all out there. There is safety in not sharing.

I am soooo looking forward to this weekend!!! The ladies in my church and I are heading to Grand Manan for a three day retreat!!! YAHOO!!!! We are having a big lobster feast on Saturday night, can't wait!! What a great group of ladies. I have an absolute blast everytime we hang out. I feel so loved and safe with them.

Today is Joy's 33rd birthday.. Happy Birthday Joy!! Stinker is a week and one day older than I am. LOL

Hope ya'll are well and look forward to hearing from you! :)

About Me

Name: Joni
Home: New Brunswick, Canada
About Me: ..I do not claim to know a thing. In fact, I know very little. I do know that I only want to live life by the heart with love and compassion and away from the crowd and be real. I am who I am. What you see is what you get. I have spent so many years trying to be who others wanted me to be... it is empty. I am me.. who God created me to be. And I can't be anything less or more. And He cannot love me any less or more than He already does!
