a dream of being orange: November 2007
http://becomingorange.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
A dream of being orange. Out of the chrysalis and into the world. Imagine your soul growing wings. Wednesday, November 28, 2007. We went to a new church on Sunday. The Old Testament reading was from Jeremiah 23: 1-4. Doom to the shepherd-leaders who butcher and scatter my sheep! This verse has been a balm to my wounded soul so many times in the past year or so. How precious I feel knowing that God understands my aches and promises to provide a shepherd-leader who will take good care of me. There is no on...

a dream of being orange: August 2007

A dream of being orange. Out of the chrysalis and into the world. Imagine your soul growing wings. Thursday, August 30, 2007. Been There Done That. I've been so sad lately. Lots of reasons so I'm not really too worried about it but I just seem to be going deeper down instead finding my way back up to the top. And that part's unusual. What's also unusual (although not that. How was that verse accomplished by the cross? What did Jesus have to do with this? Yeah maybe that's it. Hebrews 4:14-16 (The Message).

a dream of being orange: Questions, Answers, and Obedience

A dream of being orange. Out of the chrysalis and into the world. Imagine your soul growing wings. Thursday, January 31, 2008. Questions, Answers, and Obedience. I've been pondering the passage in I Kings 19. This week where God passes by Elijah with the still, small voice and several things have caught my attention. First was the repetition of God's question to Elijah. Before He revealed Himself in the still, small voice, He asked Elijah a simple question: "What are you doing here? Because He didn't get...

a dream of being orange: Improved Purple Vision
http://becomingorange.blogspot.com/2011/10/improved-purple-vision.html
A dream of being orange. Out of the chrysalis and into the world. Imagine your soul growing wings. Sunday, October 02, 2011. Currently I'm studying Psalm 119 with several ladies from my church. We're going through the psalm verse by verse with an emphasis each day on one or two words. I'm sure it was a challenge for the writer of the study to pick out just one or two words for each day! But it seemed interesting to me to ponder this association of clouded vision with aging. You'd think that the older...

a dream of being orange: What's Your Soundtrack?

A dream of being orange. Out of the chrysalis and into the world. Imagine your soul growing wings. Thursday, March 06, 2008. I recently picked up a daily devotional by Henry T. Blackaby and Richard Blackaby based on the book Experiencing God. The NIV states it this way: " Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law". I know it best in the KJV: "Where there is no vision, the people perish, but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.". The next piece simpl...

a dream of being orange: Chicken or Eagle?
http://becomingorange.blogspot.com/2008/01/chicken-or-eagle.html
A dream of being orange. Out of the chrysalis and into the world. Imagine your soul growing wings. Friday, January 18, 2008. This morning I was reading a "devotional" by Francis de Sales. On "devotion" and after taking a brief inventory, I found a dearth of devotion. Dictionary.com. The author says that the world sees the devout as " having discontented, gloomy, sullen faces and claims that devotion brings on depression and unbearable moods. In his view, I'm a chicken! And I say, "That's not a chicken!

a dream of being orange: Drowning and God's Brilliance
http://becomingorange.blogspot.com/2008/08/drowning-and-gods-brilliance.html
A dream of being orange. Out of the chrysalis and into the world. Imagine your soul growing wings. Wednesday, August 06, 2008. Drowning and God's Brilliance. One of the things I love about our new church is that every Sunday, they publish in the bulletin, the scripture lessons for the next week. That way I can read them each day and guess what the pastor might preach on- usually I'm wrong! But that just goes to show you that the word is alive and speaks to each of us differently. I guess I found it encou...

A dream of being orange. Out of the chrysalis and into the world. Imagine your soul growing wings. Saturday, February 19, 2011. Yesterday, our eldest son turned 19. He's a freshman and already 1/2 moved out of the house. For the first time in 19 years, I wasn't responsible for furnishing his birthday cake. a friend of his took that honor. Today, Molly auditioned for residential high school in Greenville. Residential equals no longer living at home. What if "changes and chances" are actually synonymous?

a dream of being orange: June 2007

A dream of being orange. Out of the chrysalis and into the world. Imagine your soul growing wings. Tuesday, June 12, 2007. In the very first chapter, Tozer says, "We must. Simplify our approach to (God). We must strip down to the essentials (and they will be found to be blessedly few). We must put away all effort to impress, and come with the guileless candor of childhood. If we do this, without doubt, God will quickly respond." (Italics mine). Lies our great woe. If we omit the and. Ive for others, I.
