vulnerable wisdom

2010-04-24T04:50:00.000-07:00

okay, it needs to said I've put this site into retirement. Maybe not permenant retirement, but for now retirement. I've found that I am allowing this 'voice' to shine in my gingerfetish blog and in my speech and conduct all of elsewhere as well!~so, I feel that to gently let go of the need to express it here, as if in the background of my everything else, is to allow it to live in the full-on space of my here and now. Continuing.....in love. trish.

forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See I am doing a new thing!

change

2010-02-04T08:20:00.000-08:00

sometimes in your life you go to bed knowing, like the taste of lightening on your teeth, that tomorrow you will be changed.

Lord make me content with who I am, what I have, and where I find myself. Becuase it is here, at this point, that you will meet me and, if necessary, change me.

grappling with God

2010-01-13T08:22:00.000-08:00

do not let it be imagined that one must remain silent about one's feelings of rebellion in order to enter into dialogue with God. Quite the opposite is the truth: it is precisely when one expresses them that a dialogue of truth begins.

grace more

2010-01-09T08:24:00.000-08:00

forgiveness of self

2010-01-05T08:20:00.000-08:00

give up the notion of needing to forgive oneself. If you feel you need to forgive yourself, you are standing as judge over yourself and therefore acting as a God over yourself. Give up self. Give up 'I should have's. Live in humility and grace. in love. trish.

once you become real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always. in love. trish.

determination

2009-12-10T05:37:00.000-08:00

If you are determined to gather life's honey, to stick your hand into the hive again and again and again-to be stung so many times that you become numb to the pain, it persevere and persist till those who know you become unable to think of you as normal, you will not be called mad: you will be called authentic. in love. trish.

2009-12-07T05:35:00.000-08:00

grace some more

2009-10-28T17:20:00.000-07:00

Grace comes to us in two dimensions, vertical and horizontal. Vertical grace centers on our relationship with God. It is amazing. It frees us from the demands and condemnation of the Mosaic Law. It announces hope to the sinner-the gift of eternal life, along with all its benefits. Horizontal grace centers on our human relationships. It is cahrming. It frees us from the tyranny of pleasing people and adjusting our lives to the demands and expectiations of human opinion. It gives relief-the enjoyment of freedom along with all its benefits. It silences needless guilt and rmoves self-imposed shame. Charles Swindoll Grace Awakening in love. trish.

2009-10-25T11:52:00.000-07:00

for I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you. plans to give you hope and a future......then you will call upon me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13
in love. trish.

2009-10-20T08:11:00.000-07:00

It seems to me that we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger for them.

The very act of hoping produces a kind of strength of its own.
norman vincent peale
in love. trish.

hope

2009-10-12T11:43:00.000-07:00

Hope is like a path in the courtryside: orignally there was no path-yet, as people are walking continuously over the same spot, a way appears.

grace

2009-09-27T13:29:00.000-07:00

Oh, the comfort -- the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person -- having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away. in love. trish.

you

2009-09-25T06:58:00.000-07:00

my beard

2009-09-14T04:51:00.000-07:00

pride is like growing a beard. it needs to be clipped daily. every day you and I need to get up and look at our degrees, our careers, our money, and then say, "if it weren't for the grace of God...."

in love. trish.

in Him all things hold together

2009-09-12T05:36:00.000-07:00

The self sufficient power God exhibited in creation and salvation is the same power by which He will keep us secure until He comes for us.
