Journal Expressions by Ellie Claire ... 30.11.18

Absolute delight, I have had 3 journals to explore this past month from Ellie Claire

*

~ * ~

 I have been excited to choose features
to photograph and introduce
 these journals to you,

unfortunately,
I am beyond belief
with my laptop failing me on this venture!

My instagram intro worked
HERE

and 0 is doing its job since . . . 

I have photo examples for each book,
yet somehow, they won't transfer over for me to post them.

I am posting this apology publicly as my instagram post
assured followers there'd be a following blog post

with details and photos of each of the 3 journals.
Which  was fully intended and extensive effort engaged in doing so.

Please accept my apology - I will continue to work on this
and get a post up as soon as the kinks get worked out

of whatever is stopping the production!

Thank you for your interest and patience . . .

I leave you with a beautiful quote from the
Illuminate Your Story
Journal Just as one candle lights another and can light
thousands of other candles, so one heart
illuminates another heart and can illuminate
thousands of other hearts.

Dream Big ! It's Monday 5/27 What Am I Reading?

Joining with the rest of the  readers at Sheila's Book Journey
sharing this week's reads ~

continuing my reading along with Sheila

in prep for The Secret Garden Party on Thursday!

I'll be posting my review of the book & then partying with the others !!

also learning about prayer unlike what i've known before ~

much more relational than 'Help' i need a lifesaver !!

Graham Cooke of Brilliant Book House

does an amazing job of relating what we currently do as 'prayer'

vs what God is actually wanting in the life situations we're struggling with~

and 

the intended results of Growth and Change as we mature in our Faith...  

"We can thank God first, in every situation, because every problem 

we encounter comes with His provision attached to it.  

God has a plan and a purpose for us; 

He says that everything works together for those who love Him.  

That promise is a deep well of provision for us.  

Whatever calamity life throws at us, God can use it for our blessing and our benefit....

By entering His presence in the midst of our problem, 

He can act on our behalf.  

Our heart may be all over the place, 

but there is a central place of truth where we gather - 

in the goodness of God." ... 

{"Gratitude is the bedrock of our life and worship"}

"We need to plan to enter God's presence with our thanksgiving, 

not our prayer...

Psalm 95.2

...once we've come into His presence, 

we need to be still and listen to the heart of God."

~ Graham Cooke
