Living in Harmony…

Florida is HOT in August! But you run from house to car to store(maybe beach) and back again, just like we do in January. I felt pretty well there, and watching my GRANDboys live their little lives is amazing! We did nothing especially special, just shared space for 2 weeks. Grampa came in the midst of the time and shared four lovely days with me (and a convertible) touring around Central Florida. The beach was changed from when I went last year, much of the expanse returned to the surf. But it was real beach, and open, and the smell just inhabits you. Is there any wonder why I KNOW this is where I want to be?

 We still feel the pull to take up our tent stakes. Maybe a little walk n the desert is at hand for us. We’ll follow that cloud by day and the pillar by night, knowing our path is carved by hand by The Master. So no matter how it looks to the eye, the reality is it’s the right way:forward, back, left then right it’s all in the walk anyway. So keep watching, and listening…

There is so much moving around us, so much in transition…

Bruce and I feel changes coming, we look at things through eyes that are becoming transient. “Do we need this thing? Can we live without it?” My trip was one of confirmations. Closer, we need to be closer to this little family far away in Palm Tree land. Yet we are still letting Father find the jobs, move our hearts. Now that we know that we know His sacrifice is unconditional it seems the giving spurs us too. We met a like heart at a plant sale in New Smyrna. How appealing that Father leads us to our new family even out of our immediate comfort zone. Goes to show me that we are following The Path He directs, even while in consternation. My daughter and her family have come to unconditional sacrifice on their own. We are so blessed to know our GRANDboys are being brought up in the truth! As for our moving, for this week we are Pennsylvanians, and will be for at least a few weeks more. We cannot look beyond the month to month knowing, and I plan to see most of you soon. Wanna come to Baden? Let me know. We’d love to see ya…

Dragonflies are symbols of rebirth and renewal in many cultures. Our last name being Draganjac we have adopted the dragonfly as our signature. How befitting to have a universal symbol of rebirth for a family who understands how exacting Jesus sacrificial gift really is? Our Lord, Brother, Saviour, Friend gave back the life Father gave us in Eden. All we have to do is be us, God’s Kids. So we walk with God, all the time.

Walking with God: the phrase has always been special for me.The very first hymn I ever learned, at the knee of my own Nana, was the following:

“I come to the Garden alone, while the dew is  still on the roses. And the Voice I hear, falling on my ear, The Son of God discloses,  And He walks with me and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His Own. And the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever know”

Funny how this is exactly where I wanted to be as a child…walking with God. I think it sounds like the most normal thing”walking with God in the dew of the morning. And now as I know what I know and how My Father walks with me, looks at me, listens to, and yes, even laughs with me, I think life is Pretty good!

I wanted to update you on the saga of my health for an afterthought…One month reprieve from treatments and I fired the rheumatologist. I don’t think they knew any more than I do…Selah
