3 in 30: Encouraging Words in February


"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God..." 1 John 3:1

I've been thinking about this month's goals...last month's goals...and next month's goals.  It can all be overwhelming if I let it, because along with the 3 goals of each month, I have so many other goals for each day I want to do, too.
One day this week, I read 1 John 3 and just simply rested in it.  I wrapped myself in the unconditional love God has for me as His daughter.  It is something I cannot work towards.  He is love and He loves me.  I feel refreshed in this fact.
As for my goals...water intake is still going well.  an impromtu visit to IN (where my family lives) this week helped me get my "visit with a friend" goal met.  And, by later today my loose photos will all be in albums.
Thanks to all who stop by and leave encouraging words on my blog!  Hope you have a great end-of-the-month week next week.

    I hear you, "...along with the 3 goals of each month, I have so many other goals for each day..." <-- ME TOO!!

    Sometimes its just a blessing to be able to wrap yourself up in God's goodness, unconditional love, and grace. He wants nothing more for us than to experience Him. YOU are experiencing Him. priceless.

    You're doing so well this month. Way to go. =)

    Keeping it Personal,

    "Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us, behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us. That we should be called the sons of God. That we should be called the sons of God..."

    Sing it with me! Thanks for that, I had forgotten that cute little round.

    Good for you for luxuriating in God's love!!

    And good job on your other goals, too.

    Great job on your goals. I have not been doing as well as I would like this month. Thank you for the reminder that I do not have to work for His love. Blessings!

home of the Braves

As a metro Atlanta resident, it seems almost a requirement to go to a Braves game to continue living here.  I grew up watching baseball and loving the game...and have been to a few games in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit...and of course, Atlanta.  The problem for me going to a Braves game is purely mental...having been a Mets and Cardinals fan for years, I just haven't the love necessary for the Braves to call me a fan. However, as with many things in life that I haven't particularly enjoyed over the years, my boys make it so worth my time and heart.  I go watch the Braves because I love my boys...and my boys and I love baseball.  Well, they love what they know of the game...still in training, but getting the hang of the lingo and SOP's of a baseball fan rather well. There are a few things that remain the same from stadium to stadium..."the wave" (Braves' attendees do not always get into this, which is very di...

Wednesday's Walk...Janis Lynn

In searching for a photo from my senior year in college, I was bombarded with sweet, sweet memories of one of my closest college friends....Janis Lynn MacLeish.  I met Janis in the fall of 1993 when she came to Taylor University Fort Wayne.  She was in my wing of Lexington Hall.  Although, I was her RA, Janis taught me so much about life and living in a very short time that I often felt she did a better job leading than I ever could.  Life was never the same for me after she and I became friends.  It was oh, so much better!  The room brightened when Janis finally awoke and entered through the door of one.  She befriended the likes of anyone and made no enemies...except for the girls who were jealous of her for one reason or another.  Her laughter echoed throughout the halls everyday.  One knew when Janis was away for the weekend for it was creepily quiet on campus. Janis ...
