Have you ever seen a curveball thrown in baseball??? Well, what happens is that it seems to be coming straight at the batter when all of a sudden - whoosh! The ball curves to the left or right unexpectedly!!! It truly throws the batter off and they miss the ball completely........ugh!
Have you ever missed something? Thought life was going to turn our one way and bam! It turned out completely opposite??? Well, the good news is that curveballs even happened back in the ancient Bible days!!! Take Zechariah for example: His wife, Elizabeth was pregnant with a child at a very old age and Zechariah's response to the angel was skepticism, NOT joy!!! And, this child turned out to be John the Baptist. The messenger of Christ the Lord. A JOYOUS curveball!!!
Melanie Rigney wrote this devotion in Living Faith:
"Change - even wonderful, exciting, almost-beyond-belief change - challenges us! Living in that old familiar rut is so much easier. Is it any surprise that Zechariah's first response to the angel who told him of his child's coming and all that would mean was not total joy, but skepticism??
The joy part comes when we summon the courage and faith to embrace God's plan. Sometimes, as with Zechariah, doing that takes some quiet time and prayer. Sometimes, it takes talking things out with a spiritual adviser, priest or trusted friend. Sometimes, it's just a matter of pushing ahead and embracing whatever comes, knowing that God, as always, has the situation - and us and our fears and trepidations - under control."
Lord, thank you for the grace-filled curveballs you toss to shake up my complacency and deepen my faith.
*******************************************************************************
Curveballs are part of the equation as a human being. Yep! That's right. We miss things.......small things and big things! We are offered an incredible gift at this time of year and everyday and many people miss it!!!
Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem and came to bring us joy, peace and unconditional love. My prayer this Christmas each of you will recognize the gift of this JOYOUS season - Christ the Lord!!!
Isaiah 9:6 says:
"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given who is Christ the Lord!!!"
Merry, Merry Christmas!!!

Holiday Triggers....
Melody Beattie is one of my favorite authors from the standpoint of learning how to deal with life!
She has written several books which have truly helped me along this path called life:
Co-Dependent No More, The Language of Letting Go, Lesson of Love, and my favorite is Journey to the Heart!
And, while I did not grow up in an alcoholic family, we had our own variety of dysfunction. I believe all families have some dysfunction within themselves because we humans are just that: Humans! We have much to learn about how to deal with others who have issues which affect our lives and how our lives affect and effect other people as well.
Here is Melody's devotion for December 23 from The Language of Letting Go book. I pray that it will help some of you who go through a difficult time during the Holidays. We all need to have compassion for those whose experience may not always be as happy or healthy as ours....look around and see if there is someone who may need to hear these words:
Holiday Triggers December 23
One year, when I was a child, my father got drunk and violent at Christmas. I had just unwrapped a present, a bottle of hand lotion, when he exploded in an alcoholic rage. Our Christmas was disrupted. It was terrible. It was frightening for the whole family. Now, thirty-five years later, whenever I smell hand lotion, I immediately feel all the those feelings I did that Christmas: the fear, the disappointment, the heartache, the helplessness, and an instinctive desire to control. (Anonymous)
There are many positive triggers that remind us of Christmas: snow, decorations, "Silent Night," "Jingle Bells," wrapped packages, a nativity scene, stockings hung on a fireplace. The "triggers" can evoke in us the warm, nostalgic feelings of the Christmas celebration.
There are other kinds of triggers, though, that may be less apparent and evoke different feelings and memories.
Our mind is like a powerful computer. It links sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste with feelings, thoughts, and memories. It links our senses - and we remember.
Sometimes the smallest, most innocuous incident can trigger memories. Not all our memories are pleasant, especially if we grew up in an alcoholic, dysfunctional setting.
We may not understand why we suddenly feel afraid, depressed, anxious. We may not understand what has triggered our codependent coping behaviors - the low self worth, the need to control, the need to neglect ourselves. When that happens, we need to understand that some innocuous event may be triggering memories recorded deep within us.
If something, even something we don't understand, triggers painful memories, we can pull ourselves back into the present by self-care: acknowledging our feelings, detaching, working the Steps, and affirming ourselves. We can take action to feel good. We can help ourselves feel better each Christmas. No matter what the past held, we can put it in perspective, and create a more pleasant holiday today.
Today, I will gently work through my memories of this holiday season. I will accept my feelings, even if I consider them different than what others are feeling this holiday. God, help me let go, heal from, and release the painful memories surrounding the holidays. Help me finish my business from the past, so I can create the holiday of my choice.
May God bless each of you this joyous Christmas season!!!

Thanksgiving 2014
Thanksgiving to God – I wrote this devotion last year in 2013 and it still
holds true….Please read these reflections on why we all have so many reasons to
be thankful and sing your own song of Praise to the God of Creation for all He
has given us!!!
Praise God from Whom ALL Blessings Flow! Praise Him all creatures here below!! Praise
Him above ye Heavenly Hosts! Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost!!! AMEN!!!
Find your favorite song of Praise and Thanksgiving and SING it!!! Sing it in the shower, sing it as you are cooking, sing it as you are cleaning for all the guests, sing it as you prepare your heart for ALL God has to offer you this holiday!!!
Remember these Songs?
Give Thanks
Come Ye Thankful People Come
We Gather Together
The Lyrics to the first of these songs are as follows:
"Give thanks with a grateful heart, Give thanks unto the Holy One, Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son. (Repeat the refrain)
And now, let the weak say I am strong, let the poor say I am rich because of what The Lord has done for us. Give thanks....give thanks....give thanks!!!"
Thanksgiving....an act of giving thanks or expressing gratitude especially to God - wow!
The United States of America celebrates and gives thanks to God for this special day this week on Thursday – it is a U.S. national holiday set apart to give God thanks!!! YES, let's do that!!!
As I opened my Bible this morning that my beloved grandfather, "Gramps" gave me in 1962, I was blessed to find this verse and thoughts:
Psalm 138:1
"I will give thanks to you, O Lord with all my heart..." The latin word for gratitude is gratis or grace.
What are you grateful for this Thanksgiving holiday??? What grace has been extended to you this day, this month, this year? Have you stopped to take note of the many blessings that are in your life? If not, why not do that today or this weekend!!!
We have so much to be grateful for in the United States.....it is truly incredible!!! I know my gratitude list swells each day as I stop, breath and think about all that God has blessed me with - a family in Ohio, Virginia, Minneapolis, Tennessee and Texas, a son that brings me more joy than I thought imaginable almost 19 years ago, a job that allows me to serve our military with honor and praise, a church that feeds my heart and soul each week, prayer warriors that support and encourage me by praying for those people and situations that God places in my life, friends that fill my life with laughter and fun, and finally, God has brought into my life this past year a very special man, named Tim, that I could not be more grateful for this year...........ahhhh..........our God is SO good!!!
I read years ago: "When we express gratitude something wondrous fills us!!! Gratitude nourishes our souls immediately and the wonder of the moment swells in our hearts." Simple gratitude brings simple happiness...simple gratitude shows us what is utterly amazing in our lives. We have been so blessed, so fortunate, so favored, so richly given abundance....and it is all by the Grace of God alone.
So, let's celebrate! Let's appreciate and acknowledge what we have been given even on the tiniest level......offer a sacrifice of praise to our Heavenly Father this Thanksgiving and KNOW how much you are loved!!!
Finally here is a fun way to say: "Many thanks" in many languages:
English: Many thanks!
French: Merci!
German: Danke Schoen!
Italian: Gramercy!
Spanish: Muchas Gracias!
Archaic: Much obliged!
And, one of the many things I am grateful for are all of you who read this blog….Thank YOU for reading these ramblings and encouraging me to continue to write this blog!!!
Blessings Abound!!!!!!!!
Look up….look around……and look for JOY!!!
Praise God from Whom ALL Blessings Flow! Praise Him all creatures here below!! Praise
Him above ye Heavenly Hosts! Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost!!! AMEN!!!

ASK....
Have you ever wondered why it is so hard to ask for help for the humans? It is so interesting as I go farther along this journey called life that I come across person after person who just is not willing to ask for help. In any area! Big or small, long-term or short-term, good or bad, right or wrong - any type of asking for help seems to be an implied message that we as humans are less than, weak, not good enough, not smart enough, not whatever enough!!! That really puzzles me...........
To "ask" is to put a question out there, to inquire, to request (of or for), to require or call for, to expect or demand, or to invite. What in the world are we as humans thinking that this is so wrong to do? Why is it so humbling to actually do? What is it that makes us feel like we are imposing if we ask for help? Hmmmm.....something to contemplate!!!
Someone recently gave me a new acronym. (I know..........one more acronym from me, and you might croak, right? Well, it is a good one, so bear with me!)
A = Ask and you shall find
S = Seek and you shall find
K = Knock and the door shall be opened
Unbelieveable!!! So simple, so easy and yet so very hard..........
So,why NOT ask??????????? When we ask we are looking for something: an answer, a solution, a direction, a new method, a new way of thinking, or, possibly, another avenue to pursue. What is so wrong with that? All of those things bring creativity! All of those things bring something new to the table!! All of those things bring an idea to the surface that might, just might, bring the answer or solution we are looking for!!!
And, what is really interesting for me is that this acronym is from God's Word:
Matthew 7:7 says that exact same thing: "Ask, and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened. For everyone who asks receives, he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks the door will be opened."
God wants us to ask for help, ask for assistance, ask for direction, ask for guidance. Why not try it? You may find a wonderful answer waiting just for you!!!

Captivating....
I met with a young lady this morning who is just starting college and feels like she is a "loser." In my mind, she is kind, sweet, lovely and very adorable! However, because of the community college where she is attending, the type of student is mostly working adults who go to school for one or more classes and then go off to work! So, the social aspect of "college life" is lost at this campus. Also, most of her friends went off to a 4 year college, out of state or out of the city. So, Miss Meghan is feeling a little lost. Her best friend is 2 hours away and they do talk each week, but the closeness that she and her friend used to have on a daily basis is gone. This young lady does so many things: she goes to college full-time, works at a wonderful daycare for infants that she loves, and teaches kindergartners at her church every Wednesday and Sunday. Some would say she has a full life!
So, what is missing for her???
A sense of belonging, a feeling of closeness, feeling like she fits in, being plugged in and feeling worthy of her new stage in life. What if she realized that she was "captivating?" What is that you may ask. Well, the dictionary definition is: To fascinate by special charm or beauty. To be enchanting. Hmmmm....has any of you read the book Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge? It is a wonderful book for young women! The authors explore the idea of unveiling the mystery of a woman's soul....sounds pretty fascinating, doesn't it?
Here is the recap that Amazon has on their website:
Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into a romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to be the beauty of the story. Those desires are far more than child's play. They are the secret to the feminine heart.
I would recommend it for anyone who has a young lady or daughter in their lives!!! And, giving it to Meghan to read at her leisure made me think about some questions to ask her next time we visit together:
What if felt that she was fascinating? If she knew that she had beauty and charm that was sent from Heaven above? That she was enchanting just the way she is? I know this doesn't really cover the feeling Meghan described as being a "loser," but it made me think of how many young women who don't realize God has a great plan for their lives. I hope you will share this book with someone this week! Or, perhaps, read it yourself!

She longs to be swept up into a romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to be the beauty of the story. Those desires are far more than child's play. They are the secret to the feminine heart.
And yet―how many women do you know who ever find that life? As the years pass by, the heart of a woman gets pushed aside, wounded, buried. She finds no romance except in novels, no adventure except on television, and she doubts very much that she will ever be the Beauty in any tale.
Most women think they have to settle for a life of efficiency and duty, chores, and errands, striving to be the women they "ought" to be but often feeling they have failed. Sadly, too many messages for Christian women add to the pressure. "Do these ten things, and you will be a godly woman." The effect has not been good on the feminine soul.
But her heart is still there. Sometimes when she watches a movie, sometimes in the wee hours of the night, her heart begins to speak again. A thirst rises within her to find the life she was meant to live―the life she dreamed of as a little girl.
The message of Captivating is this: Your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel as a woman are telling you of the life God created you to live. He offers to come now as the Hero of your story, to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman. A woman who is truly captivating.
What if felt that she was fascinating? If she knew that she had beauty and charm that was sent from Heaven above? That she was enchanting just the way she is? I know this doesn't really cover the feeling Meghan described as being a "loser," but it made me think of how many young women who don't realize God has a great plan for their lives. I hope you will share this book with someone this week! Or, perhaps, read it yourself!

ReDiscovery..........
I am happy to report our first ReDiscovery Retreat for women over the age of 50 was a huge success!!! We had some of the most lovely ladies I have had the pleasure of connecting with in a long time, as well as, had so much fun!!! It is fabulous to get to know one another - especially when you have never met, or when you think you know someone a little bit, and then, find out you don't know them at all!!!
We explored things like:
What do I want to be? What do I want to do? And, what do I want to experience? In sharing our ideas, we learned about these each others' passions, dreams and/or goals in life. We explored ideas such as owning our own business, starting a Home Party business that is unique, creative and fun ways to decorate our homes, ideas about textile artists and other concepts we would like to explore at this stage in life. And, we explored our ideas with NO boundaries!!! We asked the question: if there were NO obstacles in your way - no issues of confidence, no issues of motivation, no issues of money holding us back, no issues with our health, no issues of feeling scared or insecure - what would we do and be??? The answers were amazing!!! We shared our hopes and dreams and explored new ideas of where to go from here at this point in our lives. Wow! What a way to explore new and/or future adventures in our lives!!!
Also, we did a lot of reflection and introspection on our own thoughts, where/what our lives have been so far, and how we got to where we are today. We reflected on experiences and turning points in our lives. We discussed important words and phrases that carry us through rough and good times, and how these experiences have supported and nurtured us. We looked at patterns and threads that interlace and construct who we have become....it was quite an enlightening day!
There are stories to be told and wonders to unfold........it will be such a pleasure to keep this "ReDiscovery" theme going!!!
My partner in crime, Julie is designing and starting a Power of 50 Website for Women over the age of 50. Also, we are planning FREE networking events for anyone who is interested in connecting with this genre of women. The first one is Monday, October 20, 2014 from 6:30-8 p.m. at Scooter's Coffee on College Boulevard and Antioch Road. Anyone is welcome and we urge you to invite whomever you think may benefit from connecting with this wonderful group of women!!! Please spread the word!!! We will be sending out more information soon!
Stay tuned.......dear women of value!!! Who said being 50 meant we have no life???
