My Scripture Journaling

I have never been good at scripture study.

I seem to forget what I read almost as soon as I get finished reading, 

Having always been a journaling kinda girl, I realized recently

that journaling and scritpture study could be the answer to my successful

retention of what I read and therefore, LEARN. 

I have included in this post a few of my scripture journaling pages

I have been most diligent at posting them on my instagram 

page if you would like to go visit there as well.

Beaware:

There is a montage of my many musings on my IG page. 

You will truly get to see what a scatterbrain 

I am.

Gone to the Birds

 The weather here in the PNW is really beginning to  look like spring,  flowers blooming,  trees starting to blossom. 

Today was a pretty  day,  the sun even peeked out of the clouds  for a little while. 

 The birds are starting to sing their happy songs and the lawn mowers are whirring most every day.  

I'm  working  2 jobs and working  on moments of clearing time . 

Momma wanted a bird to give to a friend, so I'm  preparing  a few for her to pick from

Heres the first

 

Here is the second .....

Are you ready for Spring ?  Are you bored of cold weather  yet?

Let me know how you have been dealing with 

the yucky winter lockdowns and

A nights sleep

 Do you ever have trouble falling asleep?

Since last March (2020) 

for me sleep  has become a

"sometimes friend "

I tried so many different  techniques.   get up early,  no naps, more exercise,  

breathing, yoga, mindfulness  training, nyquil and the list goes on. 

I even tried a video on YouTube 

that has some special  sound  waves that is supposed  to coordinate  both sides of your brain and that some how brings on tranquility. 

if you want to try it

HERE

(Let me know if  it works for you.)

Last night I saw on TikTok ( ya, I  know tiktok is for kids) 🤣

some acupressure points that are totally  the answer to my dreams.  

(Did you see what I  did there.  🤪)

the girl says

PUSH ON THOSE SPOTS

they should be tender.

You wanna give it a try?

I will let you know  how it works .

Stay well

Blessings to  you and those you love.

Bye 

Winter Days

 with Green Grass

This entire last year has been soo strange for mother nature. 

Much of the trees, flowers and bushes have died back; however

the grass is still growing and green as can be. 

Temperatures are cold here in the Pacific Northwest, yet the blades 

keep acting like they have not gotten the time to hibernate memo.

I just took this picture today,  Feb. 10, 2021

Its so strange to see grass this green here this time of year. 

Do you have green grass where you are ?
