Saturday State of Mind!
Some call it SaturYay …… love it!
❤️❤️

Stillness …… so under-rated.
The tall summit of wisdom. Oh yeah, up here it’s  magical, it’s serene, it’s quiet and it’s still.
I hope that I never lose the excitement and joy that touched my heart when I ushered in this new decade.
And you know what, I know that I won’t. My rededication to my faith and myself …… oh it started!
Engaging in quiet time does not make me any less effective; nope, it actually clears my head, brings in new perspective and allows me to get more done. Yep, more done, surrounded by gratefulness.
Just listen to the sounds of stillness …… oh it’s magical, most definitely!
And no, I am not saying that I am sitting on my ‘rocker’ (well if I had one), all day without a care in the world.
I live in the ‘real’ world, like you …… and things happen; some good and some not good.
I understand that I(we) all have free-will.
We are free to speak the truth in love. We are free from manipulating behavior. We are free to be ourselves. And conversely we are free to let others take responsibility for themselves. Because then we are free to be our true selves as they are. And best of all, we are free to grow to maturity and experience all the fullness of a life surrendered to God in brokenness and humility.
➕
It’s my faith and not my feelings. That bears repeating; it’s my faith and not my feelings. Because I do believe that when choices are made based on feelings, it’s really the circumstances that are leading me and not the Spirit. And then, guess what happens …… the circumstances become responsible, and not me. That is way too easy to ‘escape’ responsibility and I end up blaming God for my life’s mistakes and the path I take.
➕
That is not for me.
I want to live by faith in the present and base my choices on what God says and not my feelings about circumstances.
I believe we all have that choice.
Of course I want the best for my family and love ones. And I also know that I will always continue to love and build relationships, but the choice to participate, to be committed, to say yes and no to God is theirs. What I say and do; matters and what they say and do; matters.
I believe we are free to be our true selves.
It’s Saturday State of Mind!

Blessings from our home to yours. Peace be with you.
