While I was having some quiet time this morning; checking email, praying, seeking, a phrase just popped in my head. "Beyond Existence". I want to move past the mundane, everyday routine and truly make the most of every moment. Every day I seem to hear and see so many hopeless people merely existing. As I ponder this phrase, I am reminded that simply existing is a choice. Yes, we can get caught up in the everyday routine. but it is my choice with what I do with the everyday routine.
Beyond Existence is Hope Restored...Passion Renewed!
So, as i set here writing instead of cleaning house - it's ok.
Yes I want to manage my time and order my days where I can be more productive. But it's times like this where I feel alive, full of passion.
Choosing to live beyond existence, reveals those hidden treasures within us that God has planted. Water them with His Word and they will bloom to beautiful potential.
I picture a small clay pot with a large budding plant. It has to be transplanted in a larger pot to continue to grow into it's full potential. That's how we are. Sometimes we get comfortable in our routine and after time, feel crowded, cluttered and withered. Today, jump into the newness and freshness of His Word and His direction. Live BEYOND EXISTENCE!
Write down those hidden dreams - speaking them out is like transplanting to a bigger pot.
They now have room to grow and bloom.
Here are a couple of my dreams; Writing....teaching....who knows just making our dreams known can open wide doors of possibility and living life to the fullest.
Join me in the quest - Live Beyond Existence~

Marli
It's been almost one month since I became a grandmother.
It was the most wonderful blessing being there for Marli's birth.
Overwhelming joy is the closest I can begin to describe it.
Watching my beautiful daughter, Betsy over the last few months has been amazing.
I knew she would be a great Mom.
We were all there-buzzing with expectation. It was the most beautiful, natural progression.
Aaron and Betsy chose beautiful calming worship music to help her focus. It worked. Thank you, Rita Springer and others.
As soon as sweet Marli made her grand entrance - I called Poppa Donald and they all heard her first cry. I began snapping pictures to capture her first moments. It wasn't long until the room was full and family and friends were excessively celebrating Miss Marli's arrival. Marli has a host of family and friends and 2 especially loving Uncles, Uncle Ben and Uncle Drew.
I am still trying to find the words to describe the whole experience and just can't seem to come up with them. Though the words aren't there, the memories will last forever. And I look forward to seeing her grow. To know Christ and make Him known is my prayer for sweet Marli.
Enjoy the pictures! You can see loads of pics on at http://reynoldsthree@blogspot.com
I am overflowing with joy and awe.
God is GOOD and my cup runneth over!!!!
