Relaxing, letting down and breathing deep...
do you know those feelings?
Listening for the sounds of all...
the bullfrogs croak
and the crickets chirp
Our awareness awakened
(making) taking the time to escape
Remembering TIME is in HIS hands
from the rising to the setting
the lungs are filled
no shallow or fast breaths
no hurried feelings
Amazed by HIS gifts
God's color wheel is so much more vivid
color coordinated :)
relaxing and resting
in HIS beauty
brings refreshment
to the soul and body
"need to get away"
this phrase is used by all
living in this world of fastness
our bodies know
We were made for a "getaway" with
Our Creator.
We are freshened in HIS goodness.
We become fixed on God.
We leave focused on HIM.
These shots were taken one evening back in March,
my husband and I slipped away to chase a sunset
and we stayed way to late...
but, it was so worth it.
Today, as I began putting this post together
the LORD used these captures again to remind
HE is desiring a "getaway" with me.

Just a personal update. It has been quite some time
since I posted. My family was "sweet" to me and
were able to "make do" without me for almost a
week, as I visited with my mother and mother-in-law.
Time slipped by as I prepared for the visit
and when I returned life was busy.
~from decorating for a bridal shower to sitting in a dentist chair
and a few other things in between~ :)
My mother has remodeled her home and I helped
put things back in place. A dear friend of
mine came over one day and we had a fun time
decorating. I know I'm bad, (I did not take any pics),
but when I return, I promise I will!
She is enjoying all the work and it looks really great.
Prayer request to all my blogging friends.
Please pray for my mother, she is having
health problems. She has lost alot of weight and is
continuing to lose, the doctors have found a bacteria
in her stomach along with a lung condition. She
will be having a biopsy on her lungs next week.
I am overloading you with updates,
but one last thing, that I am so excited about!
My sweet mother-in-law and I are planning
to attend a weekend retreat at the Potter's House.
Nancy and Pat have created
a weekend "getaway" for ladies to spend
time with the Lord in the mountains of North Carolina.
Click on Potter's House and read more about
this great place. I can't wait to meet them
and see what God has in store, while we are there.
I will share when we return~
