The magic of finding myself looking for another job!
Finding myself looking for another job... It's a bit funny as I had envisioned myself retiring as a ticket agent, heck it all just fit so well into our lives. For some reason a long term situation just isn't where things seem to be going for me at the station.  And yet I simply get a sense that all things happen for a reason and so I'll let the universal energies spin their magic and see where I'm leading myself to next! Remembering it's not the destination but the journey itself that is the rich fabric of life! At first I felt remorse and a bit slighted with the way the change was presented. No matter, "it's not bad, it's not good, it's just what it is"; I remind myself and from that point of power I move forward, confident spirit always leads where I need to be.

Other exciting things are taking place that seem to hint at potential in new directions and activities.  I've been nonchalantly looking into doing video logs or vlogs from the garden. I could even broadcast a show or two on blogtalk radio right from the garden, the ideas are getting me experimenting with new, fun tools. Skype looks like another interesting tool and I hope more people in North America start to take advantage of it. I've got to pick up a headset as I don't currently have a mic on this laptop, with that a lot of possibilities present themselves!

And then there's my mom who's health is starting to get shaky, perhaps it's time to consider working at home on a more steady basis. Between her, the house and the dogs there is a full time job right here. I'd be able to keep up the website and other work without a lot of competition for my time. I know those are things I'd prefer to spend my time doing. If the time is right the right opportunity will present itself!

The side bar to those ideas is the desire to maintain some even, calm through these new transitions as they present themselves. Depression can often divert my best intentions and ideals. I work to maintain a hopeful expectation without unbalancing a sense of calm ease within... I find that quite a challenge at the moment. My mum has taken ill with shingles and it has started to kick her butt. She's wobbly and weak and the nerve endings are very painful! Poor thing, she's so apologetic and I keep telling her, "don't worry it's just my turn to take care of you for a change!" How magical is that?

Today's only really had two notable events.
I've spent today with Shelly - I seem to be spending Tuesdays and Wednesdays with her a lot recently. Ash still has her Saturdays - and I haven't seen Adam for a while now. :(

Event one:

I asked Shelly to attempt the band career with me on GH: Greatest Hits.
I wanted to see if we could improve on the four star scores that Ash and I had gotten before - only to load it up and find that a lot of them had already been improved - by Adam and I one of the last times he was round. I'd totally forgotten this.

There was one song that seemed reasonable though - Psychobilly Freakout.
And after a few attempts - we got the 5 stars, and Shelly cried because I told her that both Adam and Ash hadn't been able to get the 5 stars with me, and she had done. Was funny in its own way.

Event two:

We were both sat on my bed, on the PC, I think we were doing our farms on FarmVille - when the door, which was already slightly ajar, opened a bit further.
Shelly turns to me and says: "Why has a black and white cat just walked past on your landing?"
I was really shocked, and after she described the way the cat had walked - I showed her the photo on my wall under my CD rack of deceased Cleo - and we instantly realised that Shelly had seen Cleo's ghost.

Shelly told me that she often sees ghosts, even of people and animals she'd never met before. This got really creepy - even more so when we looked in mam's room. Cleo had walked across the landing, past my room and into my mam's - at the end of the bed, the sheets were ruffled and rumpled, and there was a cat-shaped indent there, as if a cat had been laid there. So fucking creepy.

So I guess this has sort of solved the mystery of why my bedroom door has been opening by itself a lot recently...

The Word for 2009: "STILL"

Greetings!

Yearly predictions can be a very touchy subject. Yet the Lord has given me a "word" for you to consider. I personally believe it's a pretty accurate word.

The word of the Lord for 2009 is "STILL." That's all - just the word "STILL." However, as you will read, it's a very, very powerful word. It is a "now" word that will empower you throughout 2009 and beyond!

I personally guarantee each and every one of these "predictions" for 2009! I predict that:

1. The Bible will STILL be the eternal Word of God - forever settled in Heaven!

2. Prayer will STILL always work!

3. The Father will STILL be sitting confidently on His indomitable throne!

4. Jesus will STILL be the Way, the Truth, and the Life - the only means by which you may access the Father!

5. The Holy Spirit will STILL be our Comforter - comforting you from the inside, out!

6. The Church will STILL be "the pillar and ground of the truth" manifesting the wisdom of God!

7. Healing (for spirit, soul, and body) will STILL be in His wings!

8. The Gospel will STILL be the answer - whatever the question!

9. His grace will STILL be all-sufficient and our strength, whatever the task!

10. The gifts of the Spirit will STILL change lives - instantly, radically, and permanently!

11. You will STILL be God's most prized possession - His cherished son or daughter!

12. Heaven will STILL be wonderful, hell will STILL be horrible!

13. "By faith" will STILL be the only way for you to live.

14. You will STILL be "more than a conqueror in Christ" - victory is imminent!

15. Sowing will STILL result in reaping! So keep sowing!

16. God will STILL "always cause you to triumph in Christ!"

17. The love of God will STILL be in your heart - and nothing can separate you from it!

18. "All things will STILL work together for your good" - as you do His will!

19. You will STILL "be the head and not the tail" - blessed when you go out, blessed when you come in!

20. The devil will still, still, STILL, be a big-time loser!

Amen!

Happy New Year!

been thinking...

I want to write my lifes story. I want to ask people I know if they have been thru the things I have. I want to know if the people I associate with can associate with me. I want to know what the guy in the car beside me thinks when he looks at me when we are stopped at a red light. I want to know how many there are who have the same questions burning in there head...

Who would buy the book of my life? What would they say when my deepest secrets are laid plain and bare by my own pen and hand? Would they make bumper stickers with my face r name? Would they promote me to the top of the ladder or stomp me to the ground?

 

"What am I gonna be when I grow up? How am I gonna  make my mark on history? What are they gonna write about me when I die? These are the questions that shape the way I think about what matters.

I have no guarantee of my next heartbeat. My worlds to big to make a name for myself. What if no one wants to read about me when I'm gone.

Seems to me that right now's the only moment that matters.

In a Kingdom where the least is greatest the weak are given strength and fools confound the wise, and forever brushes up against a moments time, leaving impressions and drawing me into what really matters.

I get so distracted by my bigger schemes... Show me the importance of the simple things... like a word... a seed... a thorn... a nail... and a cup of cold water.

You know the number of my days. So come paint your pictures on the canvass in my head, and come write your wisdom on my heart... Teach me the power of a moment."

 

(wish i could claim that part in quotes for myself, but i borrowed lyrics from Chris Rice. somethings just catch your attention.)
