And that feeling you describe, that can arise within us, he calls "God," but also thinks whatever we want to call it, is fine. I am very humbled, that you choose to just be here, with me, in unity. So thankful for the gift of YOU~ Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595982706357639001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-5982638756276686192015-01-27T11:21:15.162-06:002015-01-27T11:21:15.162-06:00So sweet, Peggy Sue- much love to you!So sweet, Peggy Sue- much love to you!Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595982706357639001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-80712214125959548182015-01-27T11:20:50.339-06:002015-01-27T11:20:50.339-06:00God's masterpiece… a rare treat in Minnesota i...God's masterpiece… a rare treat in Minnesota in January. xxooVickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595982706357639001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-34348439304250304402015-01-27T11:20:05.455-06:002015-01-27T11:20:05.455-06:00I breathe a little easier every time I see THIS… s...I breathe a little easier every time I see THIS… so thankful Katie!

You know I have struggled with the religion I was born into. That fact, and your enormous spirit has drawn me back again and again to your blog. In other times when I have wanted to feel safe and protected, I have sought out a counselor who was wonderful to me when I went through my divorce. He is religious, but not overbearing. He has been in the hospital on and off for many years. He had a rare blood condition that no one could identify. There were many complications that required surgery and during 2 of the surgeries, he died and came back. Why am I telling you this?....Sometimes I go and just sit with him because he is so calm about the many dimensions of reality. His perception is clearer than mine. He’s not quite sure why he is still here (doctors say his recovery is unexplainable). He would be fine with anything that unfolds for him. I guess I am telling you this because of the miraculous nature of his recovery, but also because while I don’t have the assurance he has, I have great confidence in him. One of the scriptures I remember from my upbringing goes something like this:<br />…to some it is given by the spirit to know that Jesus is the Son of God…to others it is given to believe on their words...There are many Bible scriptures that refer to believing the words of those who have a witness of truth. What I hold onto is the human experience; the feeling I get when sitting with him or reading about the faith of others. I believe in you and your ability to live within God’s truth, whatever that might be. I pray for you in my own fashion. I hold onto the feeling I have when I sit with those who have a blessed assurance. God bless you. <br /><br />Kasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05233330248952156754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-6640237986022873432015-01-24T09:02:24.344-06:002015-01-24T09:02:24.344-06:00I just realized my comment would be alot like Juli...I just realized my comment would be alot like Julie's above... :) Love you. enjoy this weekend and feel all or hugs and prayers comming your way...I like this community that was created because of 'who you are'!

Your pictures, breath-taking. And His light shines through you, through your words and hurt and openness, touching me, touching us...radiating and teaching and sharing...that light. I know Him better because of how He works through you. What a gift.<br /><br />So go have a blast at Hockey! Love every moment. Praying for stamina, and fun and being surrounded by love...for all four of you. Living each minute and day and week, ordinary moments, of your extraordinary life!<br /><br />Love you to the moon and back, dear Vicky!
