In Four Days I Will See You

Somehow husbands are stronger than some of the wives and they do not cry when they leave for a short trip.
This morning I cried. It is a tender morning to say goodbye for the trip for the first time.
And as you leave, I trust that our good God is with you.

My Extra-Abilities

I can eat six bananas and two Sneakers bars at one setting.

I can bathe in five minutes. If I want.

I can wash dishes without complaining.

My mom, when she birthed me, did not know that I would be able to know what a dog on a street might think, or what a fly that fell in a hot boiling tea might think, or what a man on a bike might think after his tyre goes flat.

Lately my husband is discovering this extra ability of mine.

My Favorite Sounds

Sms melody when I receive a message from my husband.
Plopping waves at the shores of a high mountain lake.
Soft snow flakes fall at midnight.
Last drops of rain rolling down the roof and hitting the ground.
Love's heart beat.
Babies' yawning.

Suprises

I don't like suprises. Especially the kind when lizard falls in my bed.

Cramped

It is hard to speak one's heart in two-given minutes.

So if one's heart means to you - never give two minutes.

Corner House

A friend of mine said I was unfaithful: I ate fig honey ice-cream instead of usual black currant.

He will be dissapointed to know that I plan to have chocolate mint, coffee and fudge ice-creams next times I am treated to Corner House.

I guess sometimes we dissapoint our friends.

Fight In The Morning

I hate fights, and especially in the early mornings. But this morning just as soon as my husband left out of the door ...

I had a fight!

With a huge cockroach.

A hard battle. But I won! leaving the bad guy dead behind the music system.

Don't mess with a "left -alone -wife". All defense is up!

P.S. and the defense weapon was a pink tooth brush. The one that they give on Turkish Air.

P.P.S. It was a defense, ok? The bad guy really planned to attack me! At least "he" succeeded in startling me as "he" was crawling on the speaker and slipped from the top. Then "his" wicked plan was exposed.

December

It is confusing - December without snow!

Bike Rides, Helmet and My Glasses

I think I should better acquire a helmet of my own, lest my Polaroid glasses break and my forehead gets bruised as I keep bumping on the helmet infront of me while I sit behind the driver on our everyday rides.

Vocabulary

I thought my vocabulary was improving,

when one day he says, "and it is not "muffin" on the bike, the steel exhaust system, but "muffler" and we wear "helmets" and not "hamlets" when we drive our bikes."

So I guess I better not brag and better keep learning...

Of Self

These days I am too much of myself: self seeking desires, self defending justifications, self satisfying conclusions and self centered needs.

It became too crowded and no space for the other.

Movies And Food

Eating spicy food is like watching loud movies. Both can be frastrating.

My Father

No no, don't try to fool me; I know who is my father and I know that when I ask some bread from him, he will not give me a piece of rock.
My Father!

Dreams

Not all of our dreams come true. And thats ok.

Sometimes we even have to grow out of our dreams and some dreams we should let go of.

But the coolest one is, when God plants His dreams in our hearts and He expands the horisons of our vision. It is a special thing when God counts us trustworthy and it is a privilege to be a part of His restoring, life-giving and purpose-driven dreaming. I want to let God dream more through me, through my hands, through my feet, through my thoughts and through my words.

I want to hold on to these dreams and see them come to pass.

Going Out

I was not angry with fried chicken, I rather was furious with chili powder.
But I had a wonderful afternoon. No chili powder could spoil it.

Shoulders

And yet sometimes our shoulders and our back seem to be stronger when we carry other's burdens.

And other times, when we face our own challenges, it becomes too heavy, almost like giving up.

But thanks to those who do not mind to offer shoulders and who are not afraid that their back might hurt.

"Two are better then a one, cause we all fall when we try to run." ~ Out of Grey

Hearts

Some hearts are so immense that it is hard to embrace them all.
But it is these hearts that make the difference.

It's Not a Chocolate That Makes My Day

To Desire More ...

Because there is more to life then just self-centered interests.

Passionate Love

Two Wells

We can choose to be a bottomless well of deep joy, comfort, love, virtue, forgiveness, and kindness or

we can choose the bottom of well with rusting anger, stinky pride, screeming pain, dissatisfied complaint and killing hate.

But we can choose.

Undivided Love Is ...

leaving behind all the lovers of the past and everything that used to tickle one's heart;

diving into each other and discovering something new and lovely each new day;

Ultimately, giving self fully with no secrets, no doubts, no accusations.

Here She Comes ...

And now, after all this time she finally comes ... unveiled at last ... and the speculations, good intensions, curiosity, wishes, fears, deliberations and suggestions of the crowd clear out... it all dissolves.

He made his choice and she is the one right for him. She is with the character that will sharpen his edge, together they can walk long miles, she has tranquility about her that comforts brokeness and weathers the calamity of the outside. Wisdom and long waiting are at her posessions.

But the beauty of the summer flower withers with the autumn cold.

The steadfast heart set for the purpose will stand the strong winds and harsh seasons.

Talking Of Boundaries

I guess, after all, I am liquidy, that's is why it is not easy to unearth my boundaries.

But it does not mean I am boundless.

The boundary lines lay on one side as far as the gift of forgiveness was extended through the cross to me. Another line falls there where acceptance fell about 2000 years ago. Yet another line stretches to the hights of reconciliation walls and to the depth of the love that was poured on me.

There is work on the other lines - I want to extend them towards the frontiers of selflessness, charity, hopefulness and exra-walking mile.

In all of this - I am free, I am not limited, I am stretched but I am not tamed.

Faith

Faith is like radar which sees through the fog—the reality of things at a distance that the human eye cannot see.
