Monday 6/28/10 - "GOODBYE FOR NOW"

"GOODBYE FOR NOW"

This is just a temporary "Goodbye". I made a personal executive decision to leave my computer at home. I want to devote 100% of my time, mind and spirit to events as they unfold during our trip to the International Alcoholics Anonymous Convention in San Antonio, Texas. I'll return to blogging when I get back.

We'll be leaving at the crack of dawn tomorrow and will be in Houston tomorrow night. We hope to meet a couple of bloggers there.

Wednesday we'll drive to San Antonio where we will participate with the maybe 50,000+ other recovering people at the convention. This will be a first for me and I am excited.

Our return flight is Monday, July 5th which just happens to be my 25th AA Anniversary. Hurray! Hurray! I'll be "flying high" that day. :)

God bless,
Prayer Girl

Friday 6/25/10 - "PRESCRIPTION"

FLASH FRIDAY 55


"PRESCRIPTION"

Life on a deserted island sounds good, but I need others.

My prescription for living life with people:

Memorize, meditate on the "Serenity Prayer".
Mind my own business.
Keep the focus on myself; my shortcomings, my spiritual growth.
Forgive often.
Create straight, strong boundaries with smooth, soft edges.
Do the next right thing.
Pray ceaselessly.

Tuesday 6/15/10 - "ETERNAL SENSES"

"ETERNAL SENSES"

I see you here in fractured points of light
That plays across these blossoms bright
There in complexity of shades and hues
Is captured the exquisite perfection of you
Highlighting the flawless beauties trapped within
Unmarred by storms or whirling winds

And now I am transported back
Into an eternal sea of love I lack
Yet resonates within my soul so well
It fills my heart to overflowing swell
I cast myself with deep abandon here
Into the reassuring arms of God, I shed a tear

Now in the delicate traces soft of morning dew
I smell the sweetest essences of you
I cannot grasp what stirs within my spirit
With each breath as in this silence I now sit
Being touched into eternity by this love
Whose strength defies reality - from above

I reach to gently touch the softest grasses round
In this hushed and quiet solitude I've found
Through my hands now rings the pulse of life
Transforming into peace all sense of strife
I close my eyes, allow this love full rein
To fill my every space, erase all worldly pain

My ears mute out the sounds that surround me here
Tune inward, outward to farthest stretch, I hear
Music mysterious like magic notes of angel harps
Piercing deep my innermost substance sharp
Freezing me in timeless beauty still
From where I never would return by will

Here to this eternal place of endless rest
I will repair, allowing God to bring the best
That can be shared with all who are beloved
Renewing those who feel unloved
These moments like a prayer to me
May they touch your heart and set you free

Friday 6/11/10 - "THE SEA?"

FLASH FICTION FRIDAY 55

"THE SEA?"

Through eyes of soul and mind came creeping, peeping, pulsing, vibrant, shifting shades of kaleidoscopic hues.

Beauty, mystery, infinity captured there in the swirling subtle patterns of light and dark.

Where was she? Floating on an endless warm and gentle sea?

Then within she felt and knew her mother's swaying, singing, breathing filling all around.

Monday 6/7/10 - "FREE HUGS"

"FREE HUGS"

It took a full minute of watching this video for me to begin smiling. As I continued to watch my smile grew and grew until finally tears filled my eyes. By the end, my heart was overflowing with love for God and you.

I am so grateful that I am capable of focusing enough to appreciate the beauty of what happens and able to feel the emotions it stirs in me.

Please take the time to give yourself this gift. Watch and listen here.

If you have seen it before, enjoy it again.

SUNDAY 160


"HOPE FOR THE HOPELESS"

Age 39, 95 pounds
Drunk, sobering up, drunk again
Sick of spinning, but unable to stop
God's hands reached down
Lifted me up 24+ years ago
Hope for the hopeless

Friday 6/4/10 - "SHEPHERD ME"

FLASH FICTION FRIDAY 55

"SHEPHERD ME"

Shepherd Me, O God, beyond my wants and fears.
I long for a Northern summer home away from the tropical heat waves.
Wouldn't it be fabulous to roam Paris, Luxembourg and Rome?
Between my passions and reality lie rising costs,
dwindling resources and anxious concerns for loved ones.
This sometimes lost lamb needs a shepherd.
