Rainbows and Butterflies ...

Life doesn't always happen the way we planned it. Though as we become caught in the storm and it's flurry of  changes it is so easy to cry out how big it (storm) is ... when we really should  remind ourselves how big HE is. Each storm and change is meant to teach, empower, awaken and bring us closer to our purpose of being.

Sometimes the storm is horrific, down right catastrophic and the changes may leave us unrecognizable on the outside and the inside, to the naked eye. But with every downpour there is always a minute break before it pours again. It is during this miniscule break that we need to act quickly, draw on the inner strength and faith that lay dormant waiting to be released.

Remember HE is bigger than any storm or change, and He believes we are capable of greater things than we give ourselves the chance to do/be. It is through these storms and changes that we will learn, grow and discover there is a reason for everything. Even when the down power is so thick that visibility is impossible, the change(s) that takes place enables us to see clearer than we thought possible, we need only to use our heart and faith to guide us through it all.

            "Rainbows are a result of powerful storms ... 

                                                     and Butterflies a result of painful change!"

I have had to remind myself many times these past weeks ... and thought you may need a gentle reminder that no matter the size of the storm it will pass and rainbows and butterflies will be the result! ...

And he said to me: “My grace is sufficient for you. For virtue is perfected in weakness.”

 And so, willingly shall I glory in my weaknesses, so that the virtue of Christ may live within me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

Because of this, I am pleased in my infirmity: in reproaches, in difficulties, in persecutions, 

in distresses, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am powerful.2 Corinthians 12:10   

I'm Still Breathing ...

When you find yourself between the person YOU knew and the one YOU are getting know, 

breathing is one of the most painful things to do! 

This my friends is where I have found myself these past few months. 

As I venture down the road of accepting I'm no longer the person I was and not quite the person I WILL BE!

One must EXHALE the past in order to be able to  INHALE the FUTURE!

I cannot begin to tell you how many times I find myself saying the Serenity prayer...

So, I am starting to change what I can and leaving everything else in HIS hands.

You may have noticed some changes going on here at my BlogLand Home, "Falling Off a" is no longer part of the title ~ No, I'm not back in heels ..lol... falling implies a negative ... and to move forward, I must think positive. Since, we decided to start spending time at our city home, when I have medical appointments in the city and we live at our country home, High Heeled Life & the Country, seemed to be a perfect fit!

The images surrounding the actual header, represent parts of the new ME and Life, I am creating.  This will also give me a little reminder to focus my writing and posts on country living, simplifying life, things that add so much to my life like ~ taking time for tea; handwriting; reading; living in the moment; and things that I thought I knew about - but are re-learning~  and surviving & thriving through a Life in Transition.

Don't worry, I'm not going to forget the detour and the journey that brought me to where I am today. Once Upon A Time series will return, though it is difficult to write at times, I know that it helps, not only those who are facing similar challenges, but most important it helps their loved ones ~ understand the challenges they are facing [especially if they are unable to tell the loved ones themselves].

BlogLand Pen Pals ~ Is also changing name ... It is now BlogLand Pen Friends, there will me more about BlogLand Pen Friends and it's new button to come later this month.

ALWAYS REMEMBER.....

 "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." ... Hebrews 13:5

I challenge You to create Yourself and the Life, you are meant to have! 
Never Give up... Keep the Faith and never stop Believing!!
