Swept Away By Her Beauty
She waltzed into the room with her beautiful blonde hair swept to one side. He saw her from across the room, and his face lit up with delight as he soaked in all of the beauty before him. Standing so tall, wrapped in deep purple satin and tulle, her train flowing behind her … a confident smile forming on her lips. He rushed to take his place at her side … these two perfect little people dressed so eloquently for the prom.
He took her hand and escorted her outside where they were surrounded by what surely felt like a crowd of awaiting paparazzi with cameras in hand, with the sound of clicking and snapping all around them. They smiled, they laughed, they enjoyed this moment together.
A classic car awaited in all of its flame redness … ultimately pleasing to the eye. They posed, they basked in the moment together.
And off they went … to my daughter’s very first prom …
Writer – Five Minute Friday
It’s that time again where we write for five whole minutes without worrying about anything but getting those words out.
Today’s prompt word is: Writer
Ready?
Set!
Go!
I don’t consider myself a writer, really. I knew from a very early age that I enjoyed putting my thoughts down on paper, but never really considered that one day I would be sitting before my computer composing my very own blog posts … OR that anyone would even care to read my rambling words on the screen. But, they do! You do! That’s why you’re here. And I can’t thank you enough.
Writing was a passion of mine back in high school. My English teacher encouraged me greatly when we were to keep a journal, and it has blossomed into this.
This week I was in an accident. I have a fractured hand and fractured hip to go with it. I was worried all week about keeping this blog going as I did not want to disappoint a reader. If someone came to my page seeking a new blog post, I wanted there to be one although I knew full well that I was incapable at that point of writing anything. My desire was to keep this blog going and rush back as quickly as I could to pour my words out for anyone that may have been waiting to soak them all up.
A writer … Although I never considered myself to be, I guess I am …
STOP!
God’s Perfect Plan
You know how you plan and prepare, yet things seem to fall apart at the most critical moment? We stress about it, worry over it, and thoughts consume us. At times, you may even lose sleep over it and feel physically sick when things do not work out as you had hoped and dreamed.
As things fall apart at the seams and may not have been what you wanted, God had a hand in this. He hasn’t left you. He will never desert you. He’s been right there this entire time, even when you failed to acknowledge Him. While this may have been a surprise to you, it wasn’t to Him. He knew this day would come. He knew what would take place. He was there watching as it all unfolded, ready to sweep you into His loving arms to offer comfort that only He can provide.
Dear sweet child of God, please know that when things don’t go as planned, God has a perfect plan that is much greater than anything you could ever imagine. He has it all under control, and He promised in His word that ALL things work together for the good of those that love Him.
So, you see, He has crafted His Perfect Plan for your life.
God tells us numerous times in His word:
Do not fear.
All of that worrying you’ve been doing, it’s time to stop. Have faith and trust in HIM!
All of the stress that has you up at night, it’s time to let it go. Give it to God. Let Him handle it for you.
All of the thoughts that consume you, ask God to help you turn to more positive thoughts. He will!
Do not fear, dear child of God. He has crafted a perfect plan for your life.
Let His love surround you as His will unfolds and God’s Perfect Plan is revealed.
