Blog Therapy
Do you ever find writing soothing - as an outlet for your energy, frustrations and anxieties? If you are a left brained thinker, like my Darling Husband, you answer is - No, are you kidding me? Left brainers would rather take apart a diesel engine and put it back together again than write! For me, I can already feel my body relax as I type these words. Writing - about anything, really, unlesss I am particularly inspired, is a pure way for me to exercise an element of who I am. I love the new blog idea (well - at least it is new to me - LOL). Give me a break, I still handwrote my essay papers in Highschool, and I got my first email account from College during my Junior year. Back then, it was the days of notebooks and journals - OLD stuff!! No, in my life, journals still exsist, but with words that are not to share. A blog is a way to share a bit of me for those of you who care - lol. I believe the blogging world began as a way for those creative thinkers to share their thoughts and ideas. If you like to write, or ever feel compelled to do so - I encourage you! There is a reason that you are getting that "nudge" - it is because writing is one of those gifts that God had chosen to bestoy upon you at your conception. It is part of your genetic make up. It is an element of who you are.
You know, I learnd a very important lesson the other day. I am being challenged by a group of leaders in my company to read a book about our personal Dreams. Being the right brainer that I am, I thought it was a cool idea. However, I had a bit of apprehension on discovering what my real, life long dream was. The most fascinating element to my journey towards my life long dream, is that the secret lies in a poem that I wrote when I was in High School. Now, did I know at the time, that the poem that I was delicately serving up was an answer to an element of who I was to come? Nope, the words just came to me like water out of a faucet. I wrote and wrote and then laid my journal down. But, you know what, I was imprinting a life long dream, that would only be discovered at the age of 32, when I least expected it. The words of that poem had a purpose. Writing has a purpose, otherwise God would not have passioned some of us in that direction. And, the passion that poured out of me in my early teens, came flooding back as I was reading, studying, and discussing this book on Dreams. I knew my life long, big time dream instantly, as I read the words of that book. It came back to me in a flash, in the form of a poem -the words that I had written half of my life earlier.
Looking back on things now, I am so glad that I chose to grab a piece of paper, as those words of the poem came scrolling across my conscience. What was mearly a jot of creativity at that point, turned out to be answer to a HUGE questions later in life. And, because I used my gift of writing then, I now know my Dream. I can also see it taking shape and I can see that God has planted the tools in my life to start making it happen. I am not sure when it will come to fruition. But, the biggest blessing of all, is that as I have grown, He has given me the exact tools at the exact time to work towards achieving my dream -really it is HIS dream and my ultimate purpose for being.

Captivating Book
Another Great Read!!!
If you follow my blog at all, you know how I like to read. And, it is crazy, but I am NUTS over Non Fiction. I am a former Social Worker and Counselor. I get my passion and "buz" on life by learning about real life stories. It really is true that Life is Stranger that Fiction!!
So, my next book that I must give MAJOR kudos to is "The Midwife" by Jennifer Worth. This book is a 1950's account of the life as a Midwife in The East End Docks of London. Admist Immense Poverty and a Rough Culture, Worth gives detailed account of her days as a young midwife, delivering babies of the local Cockney's and saving the lives of mothers.
The story is both humorous and heartbreaking. From the life of the impoverished, the local prostitutes, and the select few "upper" class, it seems that pregnancy did not show regard to class in the East End in 1950! Each mother was left to litterally "bear" her own burden, in her home, minus modern day technologies and pain relievers, all with equal outcome of new life balanced with the possibility of death and devestation to both baby and mother.
The Midwife is captivating - one of those "can't put it down" types of books. I have spent enjoying the past week, with my last waking moments with eyes glued on the text as I slowly drift off to sleep. My days have been spent living life as it is today, with the fresh reminder of the East End of the 1950's not far from my conscious. The line of my real life and "The Midwife" has truely been blurred over the last week. Now THAT'S when you know you have a good book!
A must read! Pick up "The Midwife" and then lets talk about it!!

Glory, where Glory is due
I am a perfect treasure. I am loved and adored. I can do no wrong. I am perfect. Wow - that was hard for me to write. How much of that do I really believe about myself? The honest and sad truth is very little.
But, all this changes when I see myself through the looking glass of Christ. God refers to me in his great Book as his Perfect Treasure. I am loved and adored by God, regardless of how ugly I can be. I can do wrong, but by the blood of Christ, I am holy and perfect in HIS eyes.
Absorbing that makes my head spin. It is too good to be true - but it is ALL right there in black in white in the Book, the Bible. If I call myself a Christian, a Believer, a Follower of Christ - then I MUST believe my initial statements to be true.
Listening to my own voice brings me down, listening to the world's perspective of me could (and has) throw me into a down right depression. But by the Grace of God and the Truth of HIS word, I can live as I don't fully understand, but choose to believe.
Have a Blessed Day - :) Jodi
