cialis india“Discipline in the spiritual life is the concentrated effort to create the space and time where God can become our master and where we can respond freely to God’s guidance.” - Henri Nouwen
I like this. It goes along with what I’ve been learning. It’s not about ‘mustering’ myself up to ‘BE’ a better person. It’s all about listening to God and being faithful to what he’s telling me to do.

I found this as I was cleaning out my desk today. If any of you have ever worked in the hospitality industry, especially with meetings or conferences, have a good laugh. For those of you who haven’t, this may seem a little extreme, but believe me… it is not that far from the truth!
Dear Meeting Planner:
I am a convention services manager. I have unlimited resources at my disposal. I always keep at least ten meeting rooms under my desk and it is a policy here to automatically make reservations and tee times for your Board of Directors when you sign a contract.
I can make any of my meeting rooms larger or smaller, depending on your needs. I will naturally remove any supporting pillars from your meeting space and will install windows in every room as needed. The “ocean view” is not scheduled to arrive until the second day of your program and for this I sincerely apologize. We will, however, move the Hotel two feet to the left to accommodate your request by the end of your general session today. I can only throw myself at your mercy and grovel at your feet.
I completely agree that it is inconceivable that we should have any other groups booked into this Hotel during the program. The additional breakout rooms that you added this morning should be built no later than Wednesday.
Naturally, it will be no problem to turn your session for 800 persons into a hollow square for 150 with rear view projection, simultaneous Japanese translation, and satellite hook-up during your fifteen minute coffee break.
Unfortunately, due to space constraints and the fact that your final program bears no resemblance whatsoever to your contracted space, we will have to suspend your lunch buffet from the ceiling above your session and suck the gravity out of the Ballroom.
We have located the boxes that you sent last month, under your mother’s maiden name, at the Hotel down the street, and again our apologies for not having found them sooner.
In answer to all your questions, it is, of course, understood that I am aware of all your speaker’s requirements and will set up an overhead, LCD projector, dual slide projectors, two screens, a laser printer, podium and mic, two table mics, six aisle mics, a head table, and red and blue M & M’s in each room at no charge, just in case you need them. We will automatically adjust the temperature in every room every fifteen minutes.
It goes without saying that an AV tech., engineer, babysitter, and myself will be underneath your head table during the duration of your event just in case you need anything else. It has been great working with you and I can’t wait to see you again… really!
Forever yours,

Human relationships easily become possessive. Our hearts so much desire to be loved that we are inclined to cling to the person who offers us love, affection, friendship, care, or support. Once we have seen or felt a hint of love, we want more of it. That explains why lovers so often bicker with each other. Lovers’ quarrels are quarrels between people who want more of each other than they are able or willing to give.
It is very hard for love not to become possessive because our hearts look for perfect love and no human being is capable of that. Only God can offer perfect love. Therefore, the art of loving includes the art of giving one another space. When we invade one another’s space and do not allow the other to be his or her own free person, we cause great suffering in our relationships. But when we give another space to move and share our gifts, true intimacy becomes possible.
- Henri Nouwen -

Last night I met with other bloggers in Saskatoon and vicinity. It was so much fun! I love being able to meet new people. It definitely adds a different dimension to meet people that you are already somewhat familiar with through reading their blogs. You can catch pictures here and here. For anyone who blogs in and around Saskatoon, I would highly recommend it. I’m looking forward to the next time we have the opportunity to meet.

Something’s different. I can ‘feel’ it, sense it more than anything else. It’s difficult to articulate. There’s an anticipation of ‘newness’. Even in my interactions with people, there’s a freshness. It’s like the faint scent of wildflowers on the breeze - you can’t see the flowers, but you know they must be near.
I’m still recovering from the year 2004, and slowly, bit by bit, I’m beginning to experience the changes that God worked within me as I struggled through the past year. I feel like I’m taking charge of my life to a depth that I have never experienced before. The things that used to paralyze me don’t hold that power anymore. I feel more ‘free’.
It’s so hard to explain. I’m only catching brief glimpses of what’s down there, but I believe as I continue to walk this out, I will settle more and more into who I really am. It’s exciting.

I thought I would list some of my favorite ‘chic flicks’:
“A Walk in the Clouds” - a post-war romance with Keanu Reeves (I always enjoy watching him)
“Sabrina” - not the original but the one with Harrison Ford (what can I say, it’s Harrison Ford) and Julia Ormond; I love the stories of people who ‘think’ they love someone but end up falling for someone else
“While You Were Sleeping” - Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman; another story of falling in love with someone else; I generally don’t go for Pullman’s type, but I love his voice (it’s got that ‘huskiness’ to it)
“How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” - just a fun movie
I had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. I dined in my home to candlelight, sparkling Saskatoon Berry Cider, and classical music, with my 2 wonderful boys. It was a lot of fun.

“My grace is sufficient for you.” 2 Corinthians 12:9
God has been speaking this over and over again to me this past week.
It’s very easy for me to start comparing myself to other people. The Enemy whispers in my ear, “Look at them; look at what they’re doing. They’re better parents than you; they’re more talented than you; they’re smarter than you.” When I hear this, there are a few ways I can respond. I can become paralysed, thinking there is no hope for me, that I will never be good enough, so why bother trying. Or I can become embittered, determined to succeed (even though in my heart I believe I will fail) and so I try to accomplish everything in my own strength.
Or I can come to my Father’s feet and listen to what He has to say. It is in His presence that I can resist the whispers of the Enemy and focus on Him. It is in this place that I realize that God does not want me to be comparing myself to everyone else. I am not everyone else.
This week He has been saying to me that His grace is sufficient. I can find acceptance of myself in this verse. I don’t have to do things perfectly and it’s ok if I’m not doing things like other people. God’s grace covers everything and He is able to lead me like the Good Shepherd that He is. I just need to listen and follow.

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9, 10
Weak: lacking strength, not able to resist external force or withstand attack, not able to withstand temptation
Strong: not weak, not easily subdued or taken, well established, having or marked by great power
I’ve been thinking about weakness and strength lately. Is what I consider strength actually considered weakness by God? And vice versa. Is what I consider weakness actually strength in God’s eyes?
What do I consider strength? There are people who ‘look’ as if they have it all together. Nothing seems to phase them. They appear confident, able to handle any situation - strong. But are they really strong? There are people who will not admit they have any weaknesses at all. But nobody is perfect. Is this a strength or a weakness? Is it actually a strength to be able to admit that you have weaknesses and to be able to face them honestly? Do I want anyone to know I have weaknesses? Not really. Why? Because of my insecurities? Is it a strength to be able to admit my weaknesses to others and to ask for help when I need it? Is it a weakness to try to do everything on your own and never admit when you need others?
I think the world’s perception of strength and God’s definition of strength are two very different things. Paul delighted in his weakness. Why would he do that? No one in this society would think that is a strength. But our Source of strength is not ourselves; it’s Christ. It’s very easy to do things in our own human strength in the areas that we are strong. It’s very hard to do things in our own strength in the areas that we are weak. I think that’s why Paul boasted in his weakness - because he didn’t want to be functioning under his own strength, but under Christ’s power, which is by far the better and more effective way of living.
Incidentally, I have a thought about Paul’s boasting in “insults, hardships, persecutions, difficulties”. I always thought he was boasting about having to suffer. But I don’t think that’s it. When we face insults, hardships, persecutions, difficulties (when things are not running smoothly), all the weaknesses that we try to hide and cover up are very quickly exposed. It’s in those situations that we find our strength in Christ and not in ourselves.

Currently, my youngest son is completely covered in spots. He broke out with the chicken pox this past Sunday afternoon and I’ve been home with him all week. He’s got it pretty bad; there’s at least 20 pox on his face alone. But he hasn’t complained at all. Even today, when I know it must have been itching (it was hard for him to find a comfortable spot on the couch) he didn’t once complain. He’s just glad he can stay home with mom. What a little trooper.
