Do you have a False Positive in your life?

On with what I am learning from Beth Moore's book

So Long Insecurity.

I had to search my heart to answer this question:

What is my "false positive" that I have

chosen to believe in my life?

We all have them at one time or another in our lives

and they can trip us up and keep us from being

all we were created to be.

For me, I think because I started out in life with

very little material wealth and security in 

my home growing up, I would have to admit that

my prominent "false positive" is 

probably the "successful, nicer big home, lots of

money (to give away of course)

kind of thing. Oh and under all of this is the 

need for Approval. OUCH!

I hate to admit that out loud!!

Why for some crazy reason do I think that would

complete me and bring me happiness?

"Security in any
earthly thing simply cannot be sustained."

Beth Moore

The truth is, I have a small home
that is over 100 years old

but it is warm and cozy and God has helped me

over the years to make it cute and welcoming.
We have raised our family here and have
wonderful memories from 

our simple life.

God knows what we all need, and that includes

YOU my friend.

In order to say So Long Insecurity, you, just like 

me, will have to search your 

heart for any false ideals that you think

would make you more secure in all things and then

let them fly away!  Quit believing that lie.

"When we allow God's truth to eclipse every

false positive and let our eyes spring open

to the treasure we have,  there in His 

glorious reflection will also see the treasure we are."

Beth Moore

"And the beauty 

of the Lord our God will be upon us."

Psalm 90:17 (NKJV)

Then you and I can SOAR like these birds!

Let's FLY my friend,

Letting Go!

I had a wonderful time 
while away visiting my daughter and family.

I was helping them pack up to move to their new home

and didn't realize how tired I was physically

until I got back home.

But I'm all rested now and 

ready to get back to my normal routine. 

I'll post some pics soon of my visit.

Today I began reading Beth Moore's book called

"So Long Insecurity"

I think we all probably have some insecurities 
that we deal with from time to time,

but I must be honest with you

when I say that I have a few that have plagued me

for most of my lifetime. I've learned to cover them

well but know that God never intended for us

to live with even one insecurity in our lives.

As I read this book,
I'm going to try and be honest with

you about what God is asking me to change and 

how he shows me to do it.

Since it's late tonight, I am going to let you see my

thoughts through an art journal page that I made

this evening. It's a simple and not too fancy of
a created page but (away with those insecure words!)
it helped me to get my thoughts

out in another way  tonight.

As the old children's song goes: 

"I'm just a kid under construction,
God is not finished with me yet"

How is your construction coming along?

Whistling While I Work

I am busy whistling while I work around

the house today.  I'm whistling because I get to leave

 on a trip tomorrow where I will be visiting with my

Pennsylvania family, who I am missing so much!

(daughter, son-I-L, and grandchildren!)

I cannot wait to hear new stories

from this sweet one....

and hear jabbers and giggles from

this handsome little guy..

.....and of course

lots of hugs and kisses in between!

Why is it that all of the picture taking

seems to be of

these sweet little two and I have very few

of their mommy and daddy??

Hmmm....I'm going to have

to remedy that and make

mommy and daddy

pose for my camera on this visit, 

whether they like it or not!!!

Only sad part is that my "hubby" doesn't

get to go on the trip with me this time. 

Along with working he

he cannot get away because of the 

college classes he must attend.

(he graduates in December 2010--YAY!!)

I'm working around the house to get everything 

ready for him since I will be gone almost 9 days.

I know I haven't posted more than a few times

in the past 2 weeks due to life

being crazy busy. Now I will be gone again

from blogging for another couple of weeks,

but....please know 

I will miss you

and that I will be back to blogging

and catching up with your blogs

again very soon!  

Oh and before I go I wanted to show you

my new summer doo...

Oops, wrong picture!

 I should have probably baked a pie
for my hubby though
oh well...

here you go!

Oh and have a wonderful 4th of July!

Now back to whistling while I try to work.

Hugs and keep whistling ya all!
