2006: A Year for the Fulfillment of Dreams?
I got a new guitar yesterday!! I'm so happy. It sounds nice and warm and full.
I had to replace the black Rickenbacker; it belongs to someone who has been graciously letting me use it for the last three years or so. I’ve never loved the sound of the Ric but the look, I love – it is so hot rod.
The funniest thing about getting my new guitar is that I got what I no longer wanted. I used to want an orange Gretsch so badly when I first started playing, then, after awhile, my taste changed and I looked at other guitars. Now, years later, I own that orange Gretsch.
It's weird when you have a dream and let go of that dream, only to have it fulfilled years later. It makes me feel like it must have been 'meant to be', like God put it into my being to want that guitar just so He could give it to me.
At the risk of sounding prophetic here: I think that this is a year for fulfillment of dreams - old dreams, dreams that have died or that are dying/fading.
I've already seen it happening - for myself and for others.
It will be interesting to look back on this year and see how many dreams have been fulfilled.

Sacred Space
I've been curious about meditation for about the last year. Lately this curiousity has led me to an attempt at meditation and a realization that I could really get into this. I've been longing for Deep Silence. I believe this is one of the keys that will lead me down that path to the inner peace that I've longed for. The Deep Silence is a place in which I listen and God speaks... or doesn't (that would be up to Him).
If you are interested in meditation, also known as listening or contempletive prayer, there is a web site that helped get me started - Sacred Space. I hope that it will help you obtain the peace and Deep Silence that you are looking for.

Whew! It's been a long time... I've been working four days a week now and my one day a week I tend to be off being a social butterfly or getting chores and errands done. Today is my day off and I'm suffering (not too greatly) from a cold. I thought that I'd just lay low and get some much-needed rest, catch up on my computer stuff and have some good old Alone Time. Aaaah it's so great. As an extrovert, I never used to think that I needed alone time, now I get it so rarely and the house is almost never empty, that it just feels so great to be at home alone. SO peaceful. Ahhhhh... that's me sighing in contentment. I honestly don't want to go and pick up my daughter from school. I don't want to go for a walk in the windy chilly air. It's so grey out. I wish that it was sunny. I love blue sky and yellow sunshine.
A couple of Sundays ago SSE decided through prayer and discussion that we will be going on a small tour this May. We were invited to go and tape an episode on The Miracle Channel in Lethbridge, Alta. It's a big step of faith for our band, but we are very firm in our conviction that Jesus has asked us to go. If you feel led, pray for us, that we will make the connections that we need to make and for the finances to come in that we will need to do this. Thank you, Dearest Friends!!!
