Life's Simple Pleasures
# 4.) Going To My Secret Place
I have a place where I love to go. I go every chase that I can. That place is the Upper Room. It's a prayer and worship chapel at Word Of Life Church. It's a wonderful place.
I can describe how going to the Upper Room pleasures makes me feel. It's a place where I've love to go over the years. I enjoy being there.
I can pray and enter into the presence of the LORD. I know that I can enter into the LORD's presence any where. The Upper Room is a special place for me to be at.
I can revel in the great pleasure. I get from going to the Upper Room. But despite having others with me in there I can see the simplicity in just being there. There is a calm quietness there. I can meditate on thing. There are times when I journal or write poems.
I have notice the abundance in my life during the times when I'm entering into the presence of God. Those times when I have burdens on my heart. The Upper Room is a wonderful place where I can open up.
In all... the Upper Room is like a second home to me. I go there more than going to church. I do gather in the house of the LORD weekly. The Upper Room has something apart that I find pleasurable to do.
May we have a secret place to go to. May we learn that getting away from time to time is good. May we enjoy the place where we love to go. May peace and quietness surround our stay in our secret place. Amen!
Thanking for reading.

Fast Forward: Do For Fun
Question # 7.)
What do you do for fun?
Do you have a hobby?
Do you take time for yourself?
Do For Fun: What I do for fun? It's not a hobby. It's apart of my life. I love searching for my family history. It brings meaning to me. As I'm searching, I seeking more of what my family members do and what ancestors did.
Some of what my ancestor did, has been pasted down to generation. It's nice to see the traits of what my ancestors did. Besides I can see the touch of how they believed.
Take Time For Myself: I have been learning to take more time to myself. I can be all tie up in doing for others. I forget to take some time for myself.
Over the years, I have to realize that I have a life as well. I have a purpose in being. I tend not to think of that that way. But I do need that time for myself.
I need that time to be who I am. I need what it is there for me. I can realize things when I'm by myself. I can see things as I take time for myself.
In all, it's good for me to have some things that I truly enjoy doing. It brings things out of me that I may have not even known about. The taking of time to myself can bring me what I need. There is great pleasure in taking time to myself.
May we learn that we need things to do that we truly enjoy doing. May we learn to take the time for ourselves. May we enjoy what we like to do for fun. Amen.

Desire To Compile A Book On My Family History
I have done a lot of writing over the years. I've been journaling about my family history for some time. I've thought about making a book out of what I have discovered. I'm adding more and more to the family history every year.
I have about 1530 people listed on my ancestry.com site. There are about 650 photos listed. The family tree is still growing.
I have a desire to compile what I have found over the years into a book. I see that my family history is very interesting. I don't want to loose what I have discovered.
I can't imagine how to begin this book. I don't know what the book cover could look like. I heard that the publishers choose the cover etc...
As For Dedication:I would dedicate this book to family members seeking to know more
and to those who want to continue adding information to the family tree.
As For Acknowledgement:I would mention some of the people who helped me out on my quest.
I know without help, I couldn't have found what I have found.
I thank God for the leads.
As For The Introduction:
I would share what I know in the beginning of my search.
I have some blogs on this subject.
Table Of Content:
I don't know for sure...
Maybe something like this...
1 Where It All Begin.... How I got interested in searching my family history?
What inspired me to keep searching?
What were some of my question that I had?
Some of the question that I still have.
2 My Blakley Family Quest:

The branches....
3 My Father's Side:
Blakley Blakey/ White
Why Blakey / White?
Share some insights

What Are My Desires?
I've been resting up. My voice is coming back. Still coughing... What are my desires? Still thinking about the assignment.
One thing I desire that I may ask to see the LORD in His sanctuary. Sunday worship was beautiful. God fills me with surprises. God is so God.
Some one ask why do I like to wear hats? He was just wondering. I like to wear hats. He was doing a study out the New Testament. Women covering their has have angles protecting them. I need to google that one on hats and angels.
I plan to finish up this assignment on Monday. It's a detailed assignment. I don't how detailed I can be. I'll see.
May we enjoy the day that we are in. May the LORD surprises as we go about our days. May we see the good in ours as we are on our way. Amen!
Conclude this assignment on Monday
What Are My Desires?
Peace be with you!

Desires Of The Heart
Merry Christmas!
It's been some what of a good day. I have a desire for my voice will return. It's a sinus drainage of some sort. I believe that my voice is getting better.
In life, we want things to go our way. When things come at us we are not as comfortable with that issue of life. The situation makes us do other things. It's a challenge.
Hope all had a great day! Each Christmas is different. Enjoying the time that is by making the most of what I can. Hope that you had good day!
May we enjoy the time that we have right now. May we see that we can work with what we have. May we journey into what coming ahead of us in Jesus' name Amen!

What Are My Desires For This Season?
What are my desires for this season?
That my voice will come be to normal. That this Winter will not be so bad. About this time last year we had a blizzard on Christmas Eve Night. That wasn't a good thing.
I'm hoping that I can regroup from this allergy thing or sinus drainage thing. The weather changing and whatever is in the air. I was doing good. Than this thing attacks me.
I can see myself back into my normal routine. That's when I'm able to talk normal. That's when I'm not like sounding like I have a cold. I don't have a fever or aches and pains. I have cough and a runny nose at times.
My throat is.... well I don't know how to describe it. It doesn't hurt when I swallow. I believe that I will be alright.
It's Christmastime. I don't think I've ever been like this at Christmastime. I'm not going to let this get to me. I'm going to make the best of things.
May we have a good attitude when we are going through things. May we see the good of things while going through. May we enjoy this Christmas Season. Amen!
Desire For This Season...

Desire: Assignment
I haven't worked much on my journaling assignment about desires. I'm in the Christmas mode. I'm just about done wrapping. I have some more Christmas card to mail out.
It's been a productive day. I think I wore myself out earlier this week. I'm doing too much. I need to slow down. I'm getting better at it.
I have been thinking about some of my desires. I will write about one of them. I don't know how I will approach this assignment. I have to describe what my desire is in detail. I'll see...
May we learn to have balance in our days. May we prepare for the season that we are in. May we see our hearts desires come to pass in the set timing. Amen!
Peace and mercy to you.

Journaling Assignment on Desires
I've been thinking about my next journaling assignment. It's about desires. What are my desires? What things do I really want to have? What things do I really want to do and so forth?
This assignment is where I'm writing my desires in descriptions. I have to describe things in detail. I should take the time to really imagine my desire clearly and play it out in my mind's eyes.
This sound like a hard assignment. I'm suppose to play my desires out in my imagination. I know I can't live in a fairly land type world. The things I desire and want should have some with in reason.
I don't know how to start this assignment. I've been thinking about some things. I have jotted down some things the I would to see come to past.
What are my desires?
This entry is just my introduction. I have to think on this one. Giving in detail of my desires?
May we think of our hearts desires. May we be realistic. May we have to wisdom to know what is for us as we imagine what things may be like. May we see our heart's desires come to past.

My desire for today:I wanted to get some present wrapped and write some Christmas cards out. My desires changed when I feel the need for a nap. I felt a whole lot better after taking that nap.
