Sometimes (actually often times) I find myself being still. I find appreciation and beauty when I am still. Sometimes God speaks the loudest to my heart when it is quiet and I am willing to listen. I always pray that I am open to what God wants me to do. I pray that He will use me to the glory of Him.
"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies."
Mother Theresa
I can pray and be thankful and just listen not only with my ears, but with my heart and soul.
Lately, I have been praying about something big. Something that I am not ready to talk about. For those of you that pray, would you mind saying a prayer for me? Please pray that
God will clear the paths and that He will use me in the way that I am asking.
I could not thank you enough dear friends for doing this for me.
I just wanted to share with you these beautiful blue hygrangeas. I know many of you have them in your gardens. They do not grow where I live, so when I saw them at the grocery store, I had to pick them up and bring them home. Each lovely flower is so breath-takingly beautiful. Even my kitty Surprise loves them. She loves chewing on all my house plants. I guess I'll have to get her some new kitty cat grass to chew on instead of my plants.
I hope that you find beauty in something today that makes your heart smile and your soul sing.
xo,
Danielle

Praying for you Danielle.
What a beautiful post my Friend! Hydrangeas are my fave. You will like this one. I planted a hydrangea last year that I got on clearance at Lowes. Our weed wacker broke so with that came some weeds. Wouldn't you know after I spoke to my Hubby and reminded him to be careful. Yup, it's amazing that they are still alive. Give a man a machine..LOL!! He'll go to town!!! So, when I saw this post, it reminded me of him. Cute cat.
PS. Two leaves are gone. LOL!!
Have a great weekend,

Hi Danielle ~ I will pray for you Danielle ~ I feel I can relate to you about being 'still' and waiting to hear from God in your heart, or even that sweet tender voice.
It is such a beautiful moment when we know and feel a prayer has been answered. Prayers going to you.
