Bear with me...this will be a quick and probably disjointed post since I'm hurrying tonight.
Lately I feel like this!
But... I opened my Jesus Calling devotional this morning and got the perfect message. Just what I needed to read.
Do you have a Jesus Calling devotional book? If you don't, do yourself a BIG favor and get one. Unbelievable!
I keep mine right beside my computer. It's amazing how my daily devotional message seems like it was written just for ME! Almost every day I feel Jesus really is calling me with a message I need to read.
Today's message:
The world is too much with you, My child. Your mind leaps from problem to problem to problem, tangling your thoughts in anxious knots. When you think like that, you leave Me out of your world-view and your mind becomes darkened. Though I yearn to help, I will not violate your freedom. I stand silently in the background of your mind, waiting for you to remember that I am with you.
When you turn from your problems to My Presence, your load is immediately lighter. Circumstances may not have changed, but we carry your burdens together. Your complusion to "fix" everything gives way to deep, satisfying connection with Me. Together we can handle whatever this day brings.

Do you have an iPad and/or an iPhone? If so, did you know that you can change a setting to make it easier to read when you are in direct sunlight? Nobody told me until yesterday. (thanks Robin!)
Anyway, here's how to do it. Go to settings - general - accessibility - white on black. Voila! The background becomes black with white writing so you can read easily in the sunlight! Once you're back inside, you can easily switch back.
Why didn't somebody tell me this before?!

I'm leaving in the morning for a long weekend trip. I'll tell more next week.
My Mom, aunt and sister are coming back with me and will be here all next week!!!!! Fun times ahead, for sure.
Hugs from the beach,
Kat
"Father, please let me be a blessing to someone today."
My Mom, Aunt Sherry and sister Kim came home with me this afternoon and are spending this week... so you know what that means, right?
See why I call it PARADISE!
I wasn't the only one on the beach today. Quite a crowd!
Wish I had the guts to do this. It looks like so much fun. George wants to do it, but I'm not sure I could.
Maybe I could if I had a whole bunch of these. wink wink A mango daiquiri! Yum! (I only had one and I enjoyed every last drop.)
This is an old photo (2005), but a favorite. It was taken when Bree was in college, before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and she was still my "little" girl. Now she is married to Jay, working and expecting a baby. 
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BREE AND JAY!
(our three youngest granddaughters were flower girls)
It was a magically happy day!
