Five Minute Friday - Worship

It's time for the "Five Minute Friday" blogging post. The inspiration comes from Lisa Jo Baker. 

What you do is set your timer for five minutes and write whatever you want according to the prompt Lisa places on her blog every Friday. Then you go back, link your blog and give support to those who posted before you. And, we connect on Twitter with #FiveMinuteFriday.

Ready.

Set.

Go.

Worship.

I never was one to worry that if I wasn't in church God didn't hear me or love me. I know that God hears my prayers and my cries wherever I am, may it be in the stillness of my room or on a crowded highway.

Growing up, church was something that happened every Sunday. We went to church and Sunday School. I sang in the church choir. I went to church camp. Church was our life. I was baptized at the age of 13 and at the age of 16 I became one with my Lord and Savior through a very moving song we were practicing for choir. 

God loves me. He cares for me. He knows me. Where ever I am. 

Today, I still go to church on Sundays. I still go to Sunday School. And every week I join a women's Bible study group. 

But, those are the most important places I worship. My worship moments are more intimate. 

The first thing in the morning when I awaken and thank God for another beautiful day. The last thing I do as I rest my head on my pillow to fall asleep, I ask God to watch over my friends, family and loved ones. 

Worship. Moment by Moment.

Stop.

Five Minute Friday - Imagine

Go.

Imagine.

Imagine a world with no hate, bigotry, violence, crime. I do. I think about going to that world some day. Not now. I have too much living to do. But, some day. God's promise is a world of everlasting joy. I look forward to everlasting joy and peace. 

But not now.

I'm not finished yet with this world. I'm not finished yet trying to teach it things about me and Bipolar and Anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and I'm not finished learning about my children and my grandchildren.

No, not now.

I have so much living left to do. But, I can imagine what life will be like when I get to heaven. Such a wondrous place. Full of love and peace and harmony. The riches of the kingdom all for me. Just for believing in Christ and taking Him into my heart and becoming a child of Christ.

I'm still waiting.

Still living with my husband and our pets. Still enjoying the gifts God has given to me here.

Stop.

View.

You're the first thing I see every morning when I let you out of your crate and the last thing I see and say good night to when I put you in your crate with a peanut butter flavored piece of popcorn. 

My best friend. My soul mate. My protector. 

My love for you knows no bounds and your love for me is so unconditional it makes me want to cry sometimes. You are going to be 10 this year. Time can't seem to have gone by so fast. I still remember the first day I held you, just a little ball of white fluff.  And I knew I would never let you go. I stayed with you for hours waiting for my hubby to get off work to come see you too. I didn't want anyone else picking you up and falling in love with you. 

We were meant to be together. We were meant to find each other that day. I was lost and looking for help and you wanted a good home and someone to love. It was fate. God's plan. Who knew? Only that we found each other and became the best of friends. You protect me. You guard me. You love me. And I return your love 10-fold. 

I know we don't have many years left but ill hold each one close to my heart and know how precious they are. You are to me. I know someday my view in the morning and evening will change but i'll wait and know that you will be waiting at the rainbow bridge for another view and another hug.
