Espresso for a Woman's spirit

Thankful Tuesdays I haven't touched the blog for a week. Have been busy even though haven't been at work. Just spending time meeting with people, chatting with no urgency of having to rush off or having to go to work the next day. Am indeed thankful for this break. Helping me to get back to reality of living and what we are living for. Thankful for time spent with family. Often, I worry about being alone and try to plan about how I should live if I am alone but then I forget about enjoying what I have now. How foolish! Thankful to God for opening my eyes.  Thankful for friends who listen, not comment and are there when you need them.  Thankful for the love of God that though not always manifested accurately or in the way that the Lord might have wanted us to do, we can get glimpses of it on earth and through prayer and petition be able to also show some of this love to the people around us.  Thankful for DG members who are growing in faith,...

Title is borrowed from Justina Tey's blog ..makingmum.blogspot.com Have always felt blessed after reading Justina's blog.. she always tries to find something to be thankful for despite the difficult circumstances.

Nonetheless, we are people who walk by sight and so it is important to mantain our sight as we grow our faith and learn to walk more by faith than by sight. This CNY there was much to be thankful for.... For the rest that I am moving into... For the company of friends and family.... For the gift of cooking..... And for the simple pleasures of life - flowers, creativity, beauty of nature (man made or otherwise)

Feel blessed to have had a chance to take this break.. started well with a healthy 11km walk at MacRitchie Reservoir experiencin g God's creations and nature. Blessings to have good friends who are with you t hrough the doubting times and love you for who you are and not what you are not. And send you good reminders... Good sermons and reminders from God that He Loves You!

Taken off a friend's FB post... something I need to learn over and over again. . Jeremiah 29:11-13 " For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." Some things are beyond planning. And life doesn't always turn out as planned. You don't plan for a broken heart. You don't plan for a failed business venture. You don't plan for an adulterous husband or a wife who wants you out of her life. You don't plan for an autistic child. You don't plan for spinsterhood. You don't plan for a lump in your breast. You plan to be young forever. You plan to climb the corporate ladder. You plan to be rich and powerful. You plan to be acclaimed and successful. You plan to conquer the universe. You plan to fall in love - and be loved forever. You don...

Finally found my old blog! I think I might just revive it! Now that I have more to think about and more to say!
