The girl in me...

Recently came across this really old song..its has such cool words..heard it when number names,english grammar and tables were doing the groundwork to build the person I see in the mirror today.I never knew the words then...I do now...these are words that I've always wanted to say,feel and thought of as a little girl..But these things I dreamed of were too "big" for my little heart..so I would just push it all off logically saying to myself,"NAH!This happens only in dreams n stories"..but,I'm surprised,rather joyful seeing the smallest of them come true..I do find snowflakes on my eyelashes on snowy December days which I then saw only on Christmas greeting cards..I use the woolen mittens and throw away the brown paper bags today which I then saw only in cartoons..What I had dreamed of then weren't so "hard n big" to happen after all..

Those innocently painted pictures on our mind-screen slowly start taking shape whether we expect them to or not.The innocence rooting these sweet dreams bud from so deep within each child..Today as I stand content about my then "big" dreams being fulfilled today,on a darker side so many innocent little ones don't get to dream for more than a meal a day..Their eyes sparkle with the same curiosity mine did when I was their age..Can I make their "big" dreams come true..?atleast for a few..?

Today, I Thank You God for dreams.Thank You for small surprise gifts of life..to make me smile..for the snowflake,for the mittens,for the candies,the winters n springs and the streudels...Let me dream bigger now..For much higher things..for much deeper things..for much lasting things..to help another person have their own dream..thats my dream today...To give hope...cuz YOU have given me HOPE.Help me freely give..freely give hope to the ones who have lost theirs..to make them smile..and then see You smile..:)

My Favorite Things
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Have you ever really thought about what is worship?and Why worship? what is it really that draws you to worship Him? many years into the Christian "religious"faith can lead you to think this way and maybe not everyday but at times we all end up thinking this way.What is worship?Is it always like we sing.."its all about you,Jesus!!"..or is it about songs n lyrics?good music?the peace?or is it on your "christian" checklist?If you ask people why they go to church on Sundays,most "christian"people say-"oh Im here to worship God".. worship is understood by many people in many different ways.To some its duty.To others it is sacrifice.To some others it is commandment.What is it to children of God?How can worship be a part of the Father-son relationship God has established?Worship has to got to be more than the just the "worship service".. its a wide topic to comment on,but I just wanna share something real simple,that helps me...

Being Mommy

One of the first advice we received on becoming new parents to our beautiful child, as we reveled in the exuberant joy this boy brought was : 'Yes he is a huge blessing, but never take this for granted'. I sit here today 15 months after the birth of my first born, who we named Zachary because 'God has remembered' us in His goodness and enriched our lives for the best. As a new mother, I found myself in this new world that revolved around another human being(and still does) .I confess to have taken the words of other parents too lightly about my life taking a 180 degree turn. I didn't think my peaceful nights, quiet lunches, the 'me-time' including showers, dolling up, night outs, travels, dates would practically be non existent and that I would have to deliberately make time and put in extra efforts to make it happen. The good news is, you eventually learn tricks and what works best for you and it all functions in a completely new way. I am much blesse...

Love Remains lyrics

By Andy Chrisman With all the changes in my world You're still the same When all my hope has gone away I still see You Everywhere around me In every way I've found You still remain All the words that I could say They're not enough To tell You just how much I love How I see You In everything around me In every way I've found Your love remains You have been my Abba Father When You've held me in Your arms The touch of Your hand The smile on Your face Always lets me know Everything's okay So I will never let one moment go by That I forget Your gift of grace Or share the love You've given in abundance And pour it out Till nothing else remains The day will come when I will take a final breath And leave behind all that I've known When all that's left Are memories of a lifetime And pictures of a love That will remain You have been my Abba Father When You've held me in Your arms The touch of Your hand The smile on Your face Always lets me know Everything...
