60 SECOND LAINE-I NEED...

Meandering through a store this past weekend I saw it and had to buy it.
You know that feeling?
Mine was a silly purchase.
A kitchen towel with the words "All I need is a little bit of coffee and whole lotta of Jesus."

A rather loud message to display in my kitchen.

I need a lotta of Jesus He is my source of
perfect love and forgiveness. He gets me, He accepts me just as I am, I am enough.

Open the good book and discover one of the Christmas names "Immanuel" -God with us.
Say "Surely God is with me. Show me your presence."
I delight in waiting for this answer.

SURELY GOD IS WITH US. We need a lotta of Jesus.

60 SECOND LAINE-DISTRACTED

Red Wine could actually help you lose weight.
This is what the msn.com headline news reported today. Are you wondering like I am, how could that statement be true?

I have every good intention to spend time with my friend Jesus but I got
DISTRACTED...DETOURED...DERAILED...

Have you been there? Enough with the headline
I have only sixty seconds of your time. I read an article and it suggested to repeat regularly:

"Our hope is in you alone"

It comes from Psalm 30:22
The article continues on explaining the names of God and gives me references for further reading. That helps me to define really who my hope is in...healer, provider, lover, protector, soul keeper...
Something to think about this new day.

Repeat with me:

My Hope is in you alone. (I plan on repeating this through out the day).

This will help me to be free from distractions...gotta go...feeling full...feeling like I had a cup of joe with a friend!

60 SECOND LAINE-TIME

I woke up with the I gotta syndrome...
the list was racing in my mind...the reasoning...it figures...it has to be NOW!  I gotta do this and that now...

then I finally focused on the Pandora song playing, it is well.

Is it well?

Then I sat and read...what does Jesus have to say about time management...

Jesus is never harried.  He is steady. He is connected; strong; disciplined.
Jesus was getting His much needed sleep and was interrupted by the disciplines with their worry of the storm. He stopped and found time to help.
When Jairus was grieving with his daughters fatal illness. Jesus went. On the way Jesus stopped and helped the women with the issue of blood. He makes time.
He manages time with excellence. No worries.

As I follow my laine i will pray and remember Jesus makes time for me; He teaches me to make time. I will take time to use my time wisely.
Let's go laine...gotta go...

60 SECONDS LAINE-Declaration of Dependence

A flash in my mind.
The laine's (path) I have taken.
My younger years laine was following my parents.
My teen years laine was following my impluse of teen pleasures.
My twenties something laine following my heart to marriage with my high school sweatheart.
Laine struggled in my mid-twenties. The lack of peace and feeling connected. My misconception of religion verses relationship.
The laine was lonely and feeling empty.

The laine to find peace began with a prayer. God if your there help me.
That's when the laine directed me to Jesus.
I had been trying to figure out so much about life on my own. I was gonna make things better.
Jesus taught me my declaration of independence was not working.
Laine signed her declaration of dependence, October 2, 1992.
Laine went on merrily singing, I Have Decided to Follow Jesus.
Each day Laine will write 60 seconds heart 2 heart just being Laine.
formerly Elaine the pain now just Laine. Laine is okay. (I mean that in a good way.)
