Touch the Heart of God

Good Morning everyone! I hope you had a great holiday.

I listened to this song on my way to work this morning titled "Deeper Righteousness." I poured out tears the whole time. Why? Because while I was listening to it, I just felt myself desiring to touch the heart of God. During our quiet times of meditation and prayer, there can be a level of intimacy with God like none other that we have felt. Our righteousness is as dung compared to the righteousness of God. YET, this great, big God wants to commune with us. That makes me feel good all over.

I don't have the right strategic plan to make everything broken in my life whole again...I don't have all the answers to the puzzling questions in my mind...but I know that I can steal away and journey to the heart of God and touch it with my worship, my praise, my love. This brings a smile to my face.

As we approach the turn of a calendar page-a New year-let's seek to touch the heart of God.

Blessings today on your day,
Aurellia

Christmas Eve

Today was a good day. It was a day I sought to make the people in my life happy. I waited until Christmas Eve to shop for my Christmas gifts this year. Was it intentional? Umm...maybe not but it felt intentional. I guess my lateness in shopping had something to do with not really feeling the commercial feel to Christmas; I lagged. But then, I was the one at Toys "R" Us at 6:30am and was at the town mall at 8am purchasing gifts for the ones I love. And while I was in these stores purchasing these gifts, I had this bliss feeling all over me. I talked to a few of my girlfriends and just had a good morning.

Then, I had a business brunch regarding the company, Hidden Gem, and left full of food and inspired with thought. Still was a good day even though my brunch-business partner called me a "prude." But that is ok. I will be a prude. Still a good day though.

while I slept the afternoon away, it was still a good day...and so did not feel like Christmas Eve. The kids were playing and having fun but it just didn't feel like a Christmas Eve. It felt just like any ordinary day. But as this Christmas Eve is coming to a close, I still can say it was a good day. Mostly because my heart is full. My heart is full of the knowledge that I am loved by God. The Creator of the Heavens and Earth absolutely adores me and desires to continue this dance we started when I was 5-years-old. And you know what? I accept.

Ladies, have a great Christmas. Remember that Love is nigh and wanting to ask you to join in the dance.

Blessings...Merry Christmas,
Aurellia
