Rhythm

Rhythm is something that occurs naturally yet we usually ignore the process. Everyday life has a rhythm. Most of us feel a sense of uneasiness when our rhythm is disturbed. Yet life constantly throws a few bumps in our path to interrupt the rhythm of our life. To everything there is a season and a time... so adjust your rhythm. Have you ever tried to dance with someone who was slighty out of beat. It is awkward at best, but with a few adjustments you can find the flow to move through life gracefully again.
There is a popular country song that says "I Hope You Dance".
At times situations in life can have you waltzing and then a Tango. Whatever the beat....remember.... you can dance and the Lord is singing over you with joy.

Zephaniah 3:17
The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.


I hope YOU dance,
Debbie

You are welcome! I can just imagine you with a flower in your hair and a colorful scarf about your shoulders dancing the Tango.
Wishing you a safe trip and a wonder filled visit.

XOXO

This is serendipidous. I woke up this morning, remembering to "adjust thyself" to whatever comes my way. I prefer to be in a cozy rhythm with life, and need to learn to adapt when the little path before me veers here, and there... I had been reading Joyce last night (Meyers, not James!) and enjoying her message about adapting. Thanks for this post. I love it!

(Now to work on getting my Mom's plane ticket. Shhh. Don't tell her but that path (possibility) veered a bit and we'll need to "tango" a bit to the right of the obstacle! She'll get here, I trust!

Thanks, Kristin. Praying for obstacles to be removed from your path. Ground and air! It is such a blessing to be able to still enjoy a dance with ones Mom. Enjoy, your time together. God bless you both:)

Singing Encouragement-Overcoming Fear

Never forget God loves you, we all have opportunity to start again, to call upon His name. Sometimes, obedience involves vulnerability. Mine. Overcoming fear. I am singing 🎶 with Jeremy Camp’s song “Getting Started” ~Debbie Prayer: Father God, thank you for the wooing of your Holy Spirit. Thank you that you never forget us, thank you that you want us. Open our eyes to see ourselves the way that you see us in Your Son, Jesus Christ. In Jesus name. Amen Lyrics for this song Getting Started Are you running 'round in circles with no place to go? Is there a person in the mirror you don't even know? Someone still sees who you are, yeah Were you the kid that was a dreamer, now you don't believe? Are you the lock that got so broken, now you lost the key? Someone still loves who you are, yeah To anyone who ever lost your way To everyone who ever felt ashamed Here's a song for all the broken hearted I believe you're only getting started To anyone who trusts in Jesus' nam...

When?

If not now. Then when? What are you waiting for? The time is now. If you are similar to me, there is something you have dreamed of doing ....but put off for another time. The root is FEAR. Cast it aside. What are you afraid of? Success? For years I was fearful of sharing my art. What if no one liked it. What if no one bought it. Well, I have faced my fear and saw my own criticism. I heard someone say one time ,"That the strongest voice you hear in your mind is YOURS." So look in the mirror and repeat after me. No one may like it, no one may buy it....BUT....I refuse to allow my God given talent to lay fallow any longer. You have many gifts that are uniquely yours. How do you know....in the garden of life....you might be a mustard seed! I might be a mustard seed! A mustard seed is quite tiny, yet it grows into a large tree that others may take shelter in. Jesus said... Matthew 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mus...

I Heard Your Voice

Psalm 23-Beside Still Waters © 2008 Debbie Turner Chavers At times when spending time in God's presence I write poetry, paint art parables, read the bible, or sit and soak in His Peace.  At times I rejoice, making melody in my heart, singing out loud and at times play my tambourine.  There are so many ways to spend time with the LORD.  Make time today, you will be glad you did. I wrote this poem during my study for the art parable "Psalm 23-Beside Still Waters" I Heard Your Voice Beside still waters I heard your voice As a whispered song of love that flowed along. As I traveled a weary road I heard your voice as a crescendo A bubbling brook that refreshed my soul. As I lay to sleep I heard your voice As a wooing song That lapped gently along the edges of my dreams Rowing me home. When my earthly journey is over At the end of my days I want to hear you say "Well done, good and faithful servant." © Debbie Turner Chavers Matthew 25...
