Joy Journey

In my intentional pursuit of putting myself in the office if personhood, I am compiling a list of what brings me joy. [Thank-you Arthur Burk for your work on this.]  During the perfect storm of life events of late, I have realized that baking brings me great joy, yet is dangerous to my SF controlled carb lifestyle.

Yes, I know about the recipes that align the baking with my lifestyle. And some of them work well for me.

Sadly, baking batches of SF low carb cookies does not bring me joy as the results are disappointing.

Do you feel me here?

For a couple of years now I have either disgruntledly avoided baking cookies OR have baked and consequently eaten cookies whilst feeling like a prisoner who has broken out of her cell, feeling the breath of the law hot on my neck. 

Not much joy in either one of those.

The new idea I plan to try is to give myself permission to bake for predefined special occasions and to enjoy my joy while doing so. And enjoying the results of the baking in moderation is part of that new idea, also.

Not surprisingly my pursuit of perfection is a huge stumbling block on my journey.  I am way past ready to embrace a messier, less groomed and coiffed path.

Yep, I have been writing specifically about baking today, but this shift is one for all areas of my life.

What new paradigm are you embracing?

Theme Song Thursday

"There won't be a day that You're not by side; there won't be a day that You let me fall.  For all of my life Your love will be true; for all of my life I will worship You!  Surely Your goodness and mercy will follow me!"

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. —PSALM 18:30

“For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” —ISAIAH 41:13

Just the bread I needed today: His way, His life-giving and transforming Word, His protection, His hand holding mine, His comfort and assurance, His help. What a relationship, what love, joy, peace, hope, inheritance, grace, mercy, power, advancement, blessings, favor - - so ‪#‎thankful‬! You can have it all, Lord, every part of my world; take this life and breath on this heart that is now yours!

Flipping Definitions

Cute title, huh?

Whilst on a walk and talk with my Counselor, He said "bewildered."  I was searching for a word to describe how I felt in a certain situation and that was exactly it!

Later I was processing via a Facebook Message with a friend (which I accidentally deleted - duh!), and He showed me "be wilder" inside the word.

After pondering and praying and listening, I have a new definition for "be-wilder," that is, I "flipped it," as Doug Addison says.  "Flipping means taking a negative situation and flipping it into a positive Kingdom perspective. It is the ability to recognize negative things, turn them around, and interject God’s positive will and destiny for your life."
 
My definition is:

be-wilder: be freer,  be more passionate, be even more free from restraints; be (in spirit), will (in soul) and do (with body).

The blogger in me hopes that this will be a series -- time and my Counselor will tell.

Freebie Friday

Good morning! 

I was reordering my private realm this morning and realized what a gem I had in my hands, practically speaking.

If you are like me, you love and value words. I have hard copies of life-giving words which I review and ponder and declare daily. In the past they have littered my quiet time spot and often prompted a "dig" in order to find in the stacks.

These plastic pockets are my solution and freebie tip for today. I keep my current collection in one and then can file them in a binder for future reference when they are not the "now" words. Bonus: these beauties have a pocket on each side!

You're welcome!

Trim Healthy Mama Blast and Good Intentions

The scoop is that I decided to join the members site at TrimHealthyMama.com; I chose the three month membership, because I want to see if I will visit there enough and utilize the resources there enough for me to feel like I have spent that money wisely.  As of this day, about 12 days in, I can say it has been well worth the money.

So far I have found answers to some of my recent questions, along with the Stubborn Losers Menus and some delicious recipes.  The Chocolate Milk, and the Eggs and Hash recipes are repeaters, and the FP Peanut Butter Cookie Muffin will be. I enjoyed the muffin this morning, completely surprised at how delicious it was and how much I enjoyed the texture as well.  I do so love it when I follow a recipe as written, taste it tentatively, and then blissfully inhale the end product.  Thanks so much, Pearl and Serene!

While out running this morning, I was reminded that I should start thinking about blog posts for the week.  I remember promising updates about some things, one of which I covered above.

I am still school planning, although I added in a major writing project to this month, which is requiring lots of my discretionary time.  Alongside of that I have had some wonderful, amazing ministry opportunities open up to which I have said yes and run after.  Nonetheless, albeit slowly, I have been working my way through a library book by Cathy Duffy and feeling inspired and motivated.  That in itself is worth the investment of time reading the book and doing the exercises.

On the employment front, I have not heard back a second time about an interview, at least not as of yet.  I am praying about following up somehow.  HE knows how much I would love that job, as well as all of the other details that would be affected by me working part-time.

And that's the scoop as of today.

Checking in on My Poor Neglected Blog

Dear Escapades,

I have missed you and longed to spend time with you.  Dashing off "Theme Song Thursday" posts as a way to stay connected, though somewhat lame, has ministered to my heart and given me hope that indeed I will once again be regularly posting here.  Thanks for your grace, patience and understanding.
