Five Minute Fridays: Yes

I wonder if I say yes enough. 

I was once the person who said yes too much… Now, I wonder if my no is too regular… I don’t want to be a default no… Always preparing a no before a question or request is made...

How beautiful yes can be!
Will you go out with me? ‘Yes’
Will you date me? ‘Yes’
Will you marry me? ‘Yes’
Will you always love me? ‘a thousand times, yes!’

Can we sleepover at our cousins? Yes
Will you throw with me? Yes
Can we play with the water house on the trampoline? Yes

Is Papaw in Heaven? Yes
Can I go to Heaven? Yes
Have you asked Jesus in your heart? Yes

Will He always be with me? Yes
Did He truly die for me? Yes
Can all my sins be forgiven? Yes

Are all my prayers really heard by the Creator of the Universe? Yes!

Oh, how beautiful a yes can be! I’m so thankful for those moments that taught me… ‘yes’ isn’t as bad as we tend to make it out to be.

Five Minute Fridays were originally intended to encourage writing freely without the edits, revisions, and overthinking which can weigh us down. Today's prompt was 'Yes'. You can join the link up here. Others are taking more times with the prompts now. Look for my longer, thought out yes soon!

Five Minute Fridays

Five Minute Fridays is where Gypsy Mama ( click here to visit her blog ) encourages everyone to write for five minutes. No edits. No over analyzing (which is the direct opposite of how I work and that's why I participate so I can get out of my comfort zone, learn, and grow). You can join too! Just write (or think) for five minutes. Today's topic is 'unexpected'. Unexpected Unexpected can be so good…. Like when that kind person at the grocery store with a full cart lets you in front since you only have a handful of items… Or when your friend calls you out of the blue just to say hey…. When you receive a gift just because…. Those kind words from the person you had no idea you meant anything to or even had an affect on… People can do things so unexpected. Then, there’s God. I know He is the Creator of everything. He loves unconditionally. He provides all things. God will never leave us or forsake us. God is always with us. God always has a plan. Still, when Go...

Steadfast Love

         In the last few weeks, I have been struggling… I can see all the ways God blesses me. All the ways He provides. I know in almost all my posts since I started writing on this blog about two months ago have been about how God takes care of us. I’m telling you it is like an annoying habit! You focus for just a few days on what God’s provided for you, and then it becomes a constant way your mind works. (It’s kind of like how people are doing 30 days of thanks on Facebook. I know it seems redundant and maybe even a little annoying to you, but you see for those people posting daily status updates on thanks has become a habit. A way of life for them.)           So, what’s my struggle? It is about love. Do you ever wonder about love? Why does your friend love you when you know your singing gets on her last nerve? Why does your significant other love you when you would rather recount your entire d...

Tired - Competition

That was it. I was tired. Not the tired where I will sleep well because my rest was well earned. Not the tired where you’re groggy and just need extra sleep. The restless tired. The dangerous tired. The ‘I am done with this!’ tired. Why? I was tired of competing with multiple screens: a TV, an ipad, 2 phones. Tired of competing with every professional and college sport broadcast – with the exception of women’s sports because we don’t get those on our TV. Tired of competing with presidential news and daily “to do” list that have more weight than US (as a couple). Tired of there always being one more chore before that project I want to get to can be started. Tired of the same ol' same. In the end I was just tired. Tired of a world where we have to compete for a loved one’s attention. Tired of competing with society’s mandates. Tired of being a slave to fashion and trends. Tired of competing with society’s warp version of pretty. Tired of competi...
