Picture Dees #14 Another Hill


Having the pleasure of walking around in the mountains there are plenty of hills to climb. Thinking there is wide-open country on the other side we climb the hills only to find other hills that need climbing. Feeling weak and worn out from the last hill we just climbed doesn’t seem to stop us. We regain our strength only to move forward with renewal of strength and a continual sense of adventure. Life in general is no different. We can stop at the bottom of the hills that we run into, the difficult times, the decision making we need to do or keep on going using the strength that God supplies us and the wisdom it takes to scale any hill. Being worn out from the last hill we had to ascend should never stop us as we move forward with renewal of strength and a continual sense of adventure to complete our journey with God.

Amen, Karen! Love your "words to live by" in the margin.

Thanks so much for stopping by my place. I look forward to hearing from you again!

Many blessings as you climb the mountains and enjoy the view from the top!

About Me

My photo
I reside in Oregon, with my husband of 32 years. I'm a mother of one and grandmother of six, counting my two newly adopted grandsons. I teach a women’s Bible Study. In June of 2007 God asked me to take with me the things I had learned in my own Christian walk to help those traveling down similar roads. A journey that started with a head injury in Jr. High School and the epilepsy it was to create later for 7 long years. One day I was given the key to my cure. In order to have the surgery to cure the 10% of my seizures that were truly epileptic I was told I had to get rid of first the 90% that were stress caused. For the next five years I took my stress issues to the Lord, leaning and relying on Him and His word as well as catchy sayings of others to see me through. As peace, obedience to God and giving up bad habits replaced worry, stubbornness and disobedience my stress seizures began to disappear. Finally I qualified for the surgery. The end result after 20 years has been being seizure free and pill free all those years. Praise the Lord. God is the cure. I can be contacted at karijo_fluffy@yahoo.com.
