Standing Tall-ish

Today is a hard day for me as so much is going on at one time that I've become overwhelmed with my inability to do more, to be more, to think more accurately, to punctuate, to be everything that everybody wants/needs me to be.

Crying out to the Lord, He led me to this song.  I guess today I can see that it applies to me.  If it is what you need, then I include it with a hug for better days to come. 

Piano duets

Now, I'm sure that you all know that I LOVE to play the piano.  Further, I LOVEEEEE to play piano duets with Cora!!!   However, I have NEVER seen piano duets like this.  Plainly, I have never seen ANY piano playing like THIS!!  ENJOY!!!

Let's press on!!!!!!!!

At the end of a day I often grow weary.  At the end of a week I usually grow very weary.  At the end of a month I can become so overwhelmed with pushing through all that remains doing that I just wish that it was over already.  Can you imagine what the end of a year represents for me?

All of the unfinished projects; the unwritten letters; the unsaid kindnesses; the weariness of life can just wipe me ooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.

That's why this inspired me soo much!  I hope you'll watch too and together let's press on towards the mark of the high calling we have in Christ Jesus!

I think I can......................

Holiday music delight!

I'm sure that everyone is enjoying all of the awesome music this time of year as much as I am!  I just heard this AWESOME creation and am just floored with their talent!



Today is a special day as the CCRC is having it's debut.  Yes, I have been a part of this secret society aimed at teaching people the contents of the US Constitution, but we're coming out of the closet.

Come check out our booth at the Hazelton Holiday Happening and hey, as long as you're there, you may just want to buy something.  We're raising funds to host Constitution classes so, as they always say, it's for a good cause.

Happy Sabbath everyone!

SOOOOOOOOOO disappointed

I went to Eureka yesterday for my dad's birthday and was soooooooooooo disappointed.  When I was there with Elizabeth last month, dad was much more open and loving, so that I was not prepared for his cold heart yesterday. 

I know that he knew what he was doing as I kept asking him if he knew who I was and he nodded or said, "Dawn".  I know that he hates me because I represent his failures to protect me.  I know that he, nor anyone else, is worth the pain that it causes me to hate back.  What option does that leave me?

On the way home, I decided that I'd never see him again and I'm pretty determined to keep that promise to myself.  HOWEVER, this morning Cora showed me this video of a song written during the time of great sorrow for the author.

Needless to say, I cried through it all and ended up hugging my wonderful daughter who knew how badly I was hurting last night.  You know how I know this?

Cora asked me, when I walked in the house last night, "So how was your day?"

I said, "Rotten," and went on to explain the details of my father's rejection even though I sang and played the clavinova in a hymn sing just for him which he used to love.

Anyway, last night Cora said as I headed for bed, "I know that it was a rough day when you head for bed at 7:30!" 

This morning she shared this song with me and I felt God's love rushing in once again!!!  I hope that it will bless someone out there who is hurting like me.  I certainly hope that it blesses YOU!

Clinging to Jesus,

Dawn
