Lent...a season to slow and reflect

As I enter,
a season of reflection
in the 40 days of Lent
I am challenged
to SLOW,
to BREATH,
to be PRESENT
in every moment.
I am grateful for this time,
time
of reflection,
time
of slowing,
so that I do not live
passively...


I want to rest
in the presence of God
in every moment
in silence
in patience
in hope
that it is in
the simple places
the simple beauties
the quiet
and the stillness
that He is to be found.

Rest my child,
Rest
in the stillness
of the arms
of a loving God.
You don't need to perform
you don't need to act
you just need to trust
in the power
of His faithfulness.











BTW: E those pics are for you...finally posted some Florida pictures, ahh to be back on the beach...I am going there in my mind :)

The Perfect Night

Ok, so it is about time I return to my posting on littlejeter.blogspot. I have received multiple requests to return to the posting and I believe this is the best reason to return (not that I left for any reason I have just been slacking).

Tonight, in honor of the commercialized Hallmark holiday of Valentine's Day, I thought instead of wallowing in the S.A.D (Singlehood Awareness Day - as one of my friends coined it) I would surround myself with those I love most. So it was time for a dinner party.

As we sat with great conversation, wine and much laughter I could not help but reflect upon how truly blessed I am. Who could ask for more precious friends.

Behold the memories... See some of the candid shots of the night.
