Steele (Happily) Chaotic After All These Years: May 2014

Steele (Happily) Chaotic After All These Years. Tuesday, May 20, 2014. I shall yet praise Him in this storm, too. I wrote those words shortly after my car failed to start while we were on a trip back to Colorado two weeks ago. It had been week that had definitely not gone the way we’d planned, that’s for sure! I heard that song the other day, not too long after once again seeing the picture Shannon recently posted on my Facebook wall. 8220;I Will Praise You In this Storm.”. The song, performed by the gro...

Steele (Happily) Chaotic After All These Years. Thursday, September 27, 2012. Last time we were together, she introduced me at lunch to her friends as her cousin from Des Moines. I smiled, shook her friends’ hands, and said, “Hi. I’m Anita. It’s so nice to meet you.”. 8220;But she doesn't even know ANYONE from Des Moines,” my aunt said later. 8220;Well, I guess she does now. 8221; We both laughed. Tonight, my thoughts skip around the years. Get to see Niagara Falls and, to this day, I have not! Grandma w...

Steele (Happily) Chaotic After All These Years. Friday, November 22, 2013. Letting Go Of The Branch. There’s an old story about a hiker who accidentally goes off a cliff. He manages to grab a branch part way down, and is hanging on for dear life. He calls out for help: to G-d, to anyone who can hear him, whoever. Finally, he gets a reply. The voice IS the Creator and asks the hiker, “Do you trust me? Of course the frantic hiker says that he does, and will do pretty much anything to get out of this mess.

Steele (Happily) Chaotic After All These Years. Sunday, June 16, 2013. A Great Dad," Indeed. My grandfather died earlier this week, at age 103. Since that day, we descendants of his have been sharing memories, pictures, stories, and being reminded in a myriad of ways what a one-of-a-kind person Papa was. The legacy he left will continue on for generations, should Yeshua delay His return. I was quite amused, however, at the number of people (OK, like five) who misunderstood, and thought my father had died.

Steele (Happily) Chaotic After All These Years. Sunday, February 23, 2014. The House By The Side of the Road. 8220;Let me live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to man…”. The words of the embroidery my mom gave me were perfect. She had no idea how perfect. I promised her it would be the first thing I hung up in our new home. True to my word, I took a picture of the three kids who moved with us and the picture immediately upon arrival. And it hangs in our living room to this day.). So aft...

Steele (Happily) Chaotic After All These Years. Sunday, May 12, 2013. Mom, Me, Lists and Things. I know now that her job began long before the doctor drove up on the sidewalk on that Sunday morning (for some reason, she always tended to give birth on Sundays) in the 1960s. And it goes on still. Abraham Lincoln is credited with saying, “All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my mother.”. Who else would do these things? So their own mom could spend a “day off”… working? I eventually learned it was her on-go...

Steele (Happily) Chaotic After All These Years. Tuesday, April 22, 2014. We Are The Apples! There are so many things I just love about my friendship with Cindy. There is the fact that we have so much in common: we have large families, we are adoptive parents, we are transplants to the South, we homeschool, we came to the rooting of our respective faiths later in life, we are reluctant night owls at times… but one of the things I truly love about Cindy is:. The predictive text function on her phone. ANY a...

Steele (Happily) Chaotic After All These Years: Three Times a Lady
http://steelehappychaos.blogspot.com/2015/01/three-times-lady.html
Steele (Happily) Chaotic After All These Years. Thursday, January 1, 2015. Three Times a Lady. I was sitting at my brother’s house the other night, as we chatted and listened to songs that took us back to our high school days. Lionel Richie’s voice drifted out of the speakers, crooning words I’d not heard in quite some time, and the words on the screen advised us that Mr. Richie had penned this song for his mother on his parents’ 37. 8220;You are once, twice, three times a lady, and I love you.”. I glanc...

Steele (Happily) Chaotic After All These Years. Sunday, June 8, 2014. When There Are No Words. I was writing about the holy day of Shavuot, which took place this week. We celebrate when G-d gave us Torah, millennia ago. Traditionally, we stay up, study Torah, and, as my dear sister Gina likes to remind people, some like to consume copious quantities of dairy products. And, as New Covenant believers, we also celebrate the giving of the Ruach HaKodesh at Shavuot two millennia ago, on Shavuot as well. It fe...
