lost~

Are you there God? It’s me Candy~

lost…
I am surrounded in a crowd of people and I am lost.

I know you know that already

in wikipedia it says:
Losing the way, a hazard of outdoor activities

WHAT!

thats it, thats all they could come up with.

There are over 25 movies named LOST.

In the bible there are over 50 verses with the word LOST in it.

 lost?
Why didn’t you put a GPS in our DNA like you for the

geeese
turtles
salmon
butterflys
moose
whales

­­­My favorite UNLOST creature is the Whooping Crane.

The whooping crane migrate and do not get lost, but habitat destruction virtually wiped out the entire species. At one point, fewer than 20 birds remained in the wild . The entire eastern population of whooping cranes vanished.

A pair of cranes live on our lake in Minnisota!

maybe that is why its the only place on earth that I “feel” found

There is a certain peace I have when I am there…maybe a glipse of light off the water.
The errie sounds of the loons on the lake.
The warm childhood memories of fishing with my grandparents.

Safe

Why do we feel so lost sometimes?

Thank you GOD for finding us in the darkness~

a blue hue~

Are you there God? It’s me Candy~

Why do you allow us to see in color?

Why not Black and White?

I love looking at old pictures…
a lot are a brownish color, not black and white, like they are considered.

Did you give us color for “pleasure“?

color is so…

stimulating
emotional

overwhelming
warming

appealing

 

Picture I took of a flower  in Peru~

and still I am pulled toward  black and white.

Our Boat on the Amazon River, Peru

Thank you GOD for giving us your beautiful colors~

Chris Rice wrote a song that is so true…
Lazy summer afternoon
Screened-in porch and nothin’ to do
I just kicked off my tennis shoes

Slouchin’ in a plastic chair
Rakin’ my fingers through my hair
I close my eyes and I leave ‘em there
And I yawn, and sigh, and slowly fade away

Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors I have never seen
Deep enough to join a billion people for a wedding feast
Deep enough to reach out and touch the face of the One who made me
And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace
Do I ever have to wake up

Awakened by a familiar sound
A clumsy fly is buzzin’ around
He bumps the screen and he tumbles down
He gathers about his wits and pride
And tries again for the hundredth time
‘Cause freedom calls from the other side
And I smile and nod, and slowly drift away

Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors I have never seen
Deep enough to join a billion people for a wedding feast
Deep enough to reach out and touch the face of the One who made me
And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace
Do I ever have to wake up

‘Cause peace is pouring over my soul
See the lambs and the lions playin’
I join in and I drink the music
Holiness is the air I’m breathin’
My faithful heroes break the bread and answer all of my questions
Not to mention what the streets are made of
My heart’s held hostage by this love

And these brilliant colors I have never seen
I join a billion people for a wedding feast
I reach out and touch the face of the One who made me
I’m deep enough to dream in brilliant colors I have never seen
Deep enough to join a billion people for a wedding feast
Deep enough to reach out and touch the face of the One who made me
And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace
Do I ever have to wake up
Do I ever have to wake up
Do I really have to wake up now

in INK~

Are you there God? It’s me Candy~

I have this saying…

in INK~

I purposefully make the” ink” part all caps.

ink is permanent.
we use it for:
letters
love note
checks
legal notes
drawings
homework
marking
tattoos

and in my bizarre thinking “prayer“

I have struggled for years thinking about “IF” you really listen to my prayers or even care…

but I have learned that you “ABSOLUTELY” listen to my prayers!

I just have to remember that sometimes “unanswered prayers” are also a blessing and heard.

 Thank you ”GOD” for those prayers that I think get lost in Spam~

Who?

Are you there God? Its me Candy~

I have a lot of questions that I know I’m never going to get answered.

Do you listen to everything we ask for?
Do you count the days that I am at Church?
Does it make me a better person or get bonus points in Heaven when we do “Christian type” stuff?

I know that when I am surrounded by negative people I feel negative and when I’m around people who inspire me I feel like a million dollars.

But some days I wonder who I am… what do people see in me?
am I
Debbie Downer
or
Positive Polly?

What does it matter what people think about us, but I am always wondering what they think about me.

What does God see in me?
Does he do stuff for us when we do things to help others?

I had a major burden put on my heart a couple years ago.
I wanted to have Darrell’s Grandmother, Marie, live with us after her stroke.
She was in a nursing home and wouldn’t speak.
I wanted her to have coffee and cake whenever she wanted.

I wanted her to be around people who loved her 24/7.
I had the” great” plan.

I prayed about it…

but I also heard ALL the reasons not to do it.

Did I make the choice GOD wanted?
Or what I wanted?

No regrets… She was a light in my life and I will never look back with anything but love for her. People would say that God will give me extra stars for the sacrifice… No need for stars, she was my star! There were many sacrifices, angry family members and tons of turmoil, but I will never forget her laughter and her love of me who wasn’t even her blood.
She is the role model I want to be.
A true Christian, what Christ wants us to be like.

I Miss Her A LOT~

I know when she went to heaven God said “Well done good and faithful servant…”

Thank you God for Olena Marie,
