March 26 - Heading South (and Streams in the Desert giveaway contest)

The reading today talks about claiming the land that was promised us. The land being 'everything you can comprehend through faith's vision belongs to you'. It goes on to say that 'He who puts the natural instinct in the heart of a bird to...search of a warmer climate is too good to deceive.' This one truly is a difficult one for me...probably one of the big areas I struggle with. I have a vision for my life, but have yet to step out in faith to 'go there'. Maybe it's time for me to 'head south'.

Today's post goes out to my friend Barb, who will soon be heading south from way up north in the Yukon. Her son is coming home from Afghanistan and she is going to meet him. She is one to follow her instincts and not look back.

Kim - you can do all four or just one. For each entry your name gets in the drawing. Looks like your chances are pretty good. :)

As far as the book - I am willing to consider it. For now I'd like to get some cards in my etsy store, but haven't had time.

Hi!
Just left a post all about your blog and giveaway on my poetry blog. Seemed more appropriate than on a recipe blog! :)
