Take UP Your Cross

Blog Prompt: Reflect on a prayer that was answered in an unexpected way. How did this deepen your trust in God?

I am drawing a blank right now on any specific story. God always answers my prayers. He speaks in so many ways. One way is in our circumstances. I think for me; it is important to keep a prayer journal. It makes me so much more aware of how and when my prayers are answered. I have kind of slipped away from prayer journalling the way I need to over the last few months and need to get back into it. Life just happened is all.

Prayer prompt: Ask God to heal relationships that have been broken.

Dear God,
Please heal any broken relationships that need healing in my life. You know who they are.
In Christ's name,
Amen

I had heard some good reports about the port of Beholden on his planet. I went to check it out for myself and came across this item.

Read, review and write about this in your blog today. Is there peace anywhere?

I can sympathize with the main character. Even Jesus tried to find solitude from the crowds from time to time, and people still sought him out. He had compassion on them though. We all need a little solitude from time to time.

February 20th is National Muffin day, National Comfy Day, National Cherry Day and National Love Your Pet Day.

What's your favorite muffin? What do you do to be comfy? What's your favorite cherry dessert? And finally share a favorite pet story if you have one.

I will have to say chocolate is my favorite brand of muffin. I like to stretch out and put my feet up to be comfy. Cherry cobbler with vanilla ice cream or cherry pie has to be my favorite cherry desserts. I have a ton of pet stories. It's hard to choose just one. I have taught my dogs to shake their heads yes and no, and they will answer you. Sometimes it can be quite funny. It is also interesting if you have ever had a dog learn some words. I also taught a dog in the past to sing for her dinner which was quite entertaining. LOL Dogs will speak to you in their own way, you just have to know how to listen. Their faces are expressive, they have wagging tails, they bark, they cry, they will let you know when they want or need something, and they can be quite affectionate.

Prompt: The only journey is the journey within. Write about this quote in your Blog entry today.

I guess in a sense every journey, even physical ones are connected to the one within. I wouldn't call it my only journey though, maybe a journey of journeys. There can be many smaller journeys within one large journey. I guess it's all in how you look at it.
