Part one, two, three, and four.
Stop. Right where you are. That was what I had to finally tell my self last week. Don’t just pause while glancing both ways and then proceed. Come to a complete stop. It seemed that my soul had been caught up in a spiritual roundabout. One that I couldn’t quite get out of. Circling around the circumference of the real issue. Until I stopped fully. At that stop sign. The one for my soul that is in the form of a cross. I hadn’t been taking enough time to be with Jesus like my soul was wailing for. I hadn’t taken time to just stop for a good long while and be still before him like I needed. Instead I was just pausing and rolling right through. When the cares of this life are coming at me from all different directions why don’t I stop like I need to? Before I find myself in a wreck of sinful selfishness? The Word is right there for me when I stop long enough to read…”Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matt. 11:28) And in the stopping I have found rest. Beautiful, captivating Love that sets me free from the rushing traffic of everyday life. I see the rich red love of his blood on that cross. That red sign saying stop. “Be with me” I hear Jesus whisper softly. I shouldn’t move on until I have fully stopped and been with him. Only then is it safe to venture out where I am called to travel. I don’t want to go a day without stopping.
P.S. This is my take/try on/at color blocking…similar to when I tried this.
P.P.S. If I raised the “goal” for fundraising again would you be willing to help me get there? Not really for me but for the little children that need our help?
I think raising the goal is a great idea! I am telling so many of my friends about you and when they hear that the 100 days are over, they always ask, “Is she still raising money?” It would be great if you had a new goal I could tell them about. Praying for you!
God bless,

O.K. Thanks for that input! And YES people can still donate! Thanks for spreading the word about these children in need.
Really appreciate your prayers. 😀
Well, I do think that you succeeded with your colour blocking, I love this outfit. The green and blue look lovely and paired with the black belt, stockings, and pretty heels, it looks fab!

Thanks! It was fun and cheery in this somewhat dismal weather we have been having… 🙂
Yes!! I think it’s a great idea to raise the fundraising goal! 🙂 And what you wrote about needing to stop and take time to be with Jesus is so true, I realized that I needed to do that a few days ago. I’ve been enjoying reading your series of posts about signs. Oh, and your outfit is so pretty! 🙂
