I want to be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the Light
~ In the Light by DC Talk
Hi There!
I’ve taken on some outside work, which I am happy about, but unfortunately it’s going to take up more of my time. So, there might be days when I won’t be able to respond to comments. I’m not sure how often that would happen, but I wanted you to know ahead of time.
I will always read everything you write, I love to hear what you have to say! I’ll always keep visiting you and commenting too.
Thank you so much for being such faithful blog-friends. You make my day!
Blessings,
Ceil
Visit when you can, my friend…
I will continue to read as long as you write. : )
I’m off to bed, so have a cozy night!
Hi Billie Jo! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your comment.
I love to write back to you, it feels more like pen-pals than anything else. But I think I’m going to have less hours now, so I thought I’d let you know. I’m so glad that we can remain in touch.
I did have a cozy night, and it’s a good thing too. It’s 0F right now. When will it end??
Happy Wednesday,
Ceil
Wishing you well in the work you’ve taken on. I know you’ll be His witness in whatever you do.
Hi Linda! Thank you my friend. I hope I do a good job too. It’s funny how life goes, isn’t it? I think I can handle everything, but it was my husband who pointed out that I was getting frazzled.
So that’s not so good. It’s hard to be a witness when you’re stressed! We’ll see how this all works out, but I am so grateful for your continued support.
Have a blessed day
Ceil
Ceil, I’ve been a little absent this week in Blog Land, too. But, I will know that you are out there, and I will be praying for you. I’d appreciate your prayers, too, as I am battling a crummy case of the *blahs*. Thanks, buddy.
GOD BLESS!
Hi Sharon! I have missed you, my friend. But I know it’s been a tough few weeks for you. You are still in my prayers. I lost my Mom three years ago, so I understand how hard it is.
May God grace you with his peace, and bring back joy to your days.
You are a light to so many Sharon. I know that God will give you some of his.
Blessings,
Ceil
Lovely graphic to go with the lyrics. May your outside work go well. Hugs. xx
Hi Joyful! Thank you! I really loved the image because the little boy could see his breath, so you knew it was a cold night. Just like the nights around here.
It’s currently 0F, and it’s going to be cold the rest of the week. I wish we had your weather instead!
Thank you for your good wishes on the new work. I think it will be a fun new way to use my gifts. So that’s good!
Thank you for visiting Joyful, it’s always good to see you
Ceil
Best wishes in the new venture you have undertaken. I hope and pray that it is what you desire and that you are happy in your new work.
It is understandable when we don’t often have time to write our Blogs or reply to comments or visit our visitors. This in no way diminishes freindships made on the Internet.
Praying for you and your family. Looking forward to your continued Blog posts, even if not as frequent, since they have been a source of enjoyment and hope for many.
God bless.
Hi Victor! I smiled when I read your comment. You really spoke to my heart and concerns. As I get busier at home and with new challenges, it is hard to keep up with blogging sometimes.
I feel like you understand that very well. And I really appreciate your saying we’ll remain connected. I hope to continue writing as often as I have been. God knows his plan for me, so I’ll just hang on and see where we go.
Thank you for your prayers. They are always appreciated! Not to mention needed.
God bless you too my friend,
Ceil
And you make our days, Ceil! Praying God’s blessing on your new venture!
Hi Pam! Thank you so much Pam. And I really appreciate your prayers, that will be so lovely.
I don’t know how much I will be affected by the new call for my time. Maybe after I get started, things will settle down. But it’s exciting, and I hope to balance it all well. Much like you must do in your busy life!
Blessings on this Wednesday
Ceil
I hope you have great weather while working outside
Hi Lauren! Aren’t you funny! Thanks be to God that I don’t have to work outside, it’s so darn cold again today. I woke to 0F, and now it’s a warm 6F. I’m telling you, this winter has been a doozy.
Thanks for your comment, it made me smile! (And made me thankful I’m not a pot-hole filler! God bless them :))
Happy Wednesday,
Ceil
Don’t worry about the comments/blogging..we will be here when you get around & have time. Loved your topic today..actually, I love all your topics. Blessings
Hi Linda! Oh thank you for your note today Linda. That is just what I needed to hear. I don’t think my writing will slack off too much, it’s just that I feel bad that there will be times I can’t respond to all the wonderful things you say.
You are a great blessing to me. Thank you
Ceil
Beautiful words. Now I’m going to go look up the song. Have a great day, Ceil.
Hi Kathleen! I’m so glad you liked the image and song lyrics today. I hope you like DC Talk. They have been around for a long time, and I really liked this song. I think everyone can relate to wanting to live in the light of God.
Have a blessed day
Ceil
LOVE that song up top. And I’m grateful for any opportunities that come your way! What kind of work will you be doing?
Enjoy, my friend …
;-}
Hi Linda! Me too! It just popped into my head when I saw this image. I thought it was perfect.
I am going to do some more writing, longer stuff. I hope to submit to get published and that takes research and time (as you well know) not to mention the writing itself. I don’t know if the time it takes will take me away from the blog too much, but I wanted you to know in case it does.
I don’t know how you do it…a full time job, writing a blog, and having an active personal life. It’s a balancing act, isn’t it?
Thanks for asking! Have a wonderful day my friend,
Ceil
Hi Ceil, Stopping by to say hi and wishing you health and happiness. Love reading your encouragement here. Kim
Hi Kim! Thanks for stopping by! I’m so glad you see some encouragement, that means a lot, thank you for saying that.
Have a wonderful Wednesday
Ceil
Hello friend! Whatever it is you are taking on, I’m sure you will put everything into it and the Lord will get the glory! As Rachel Ray would say, “I’ll see ya when I see ya!”
Blessings!
Debby
Hi Debby! What a lovely comment. I hope that I do put everything into it. I sure do want God to get the glory, so I think you have really helped me put into words my goals. Thank you!
Oh, you’ll see me. No worries there!
Have a wonderful day
Ceil
Congratulations on your new adventure. I am glad for you.
Hi Cecelia! Thank you so much . I hope that I will peacefully go forward into my new plans. With your prayers, I know I’ll be fine.
Best of blessings on your PT and rehab my friend. I know it will take a while, but you’ll do fine.
Hugs,
Ceil
I never “expect” a reply to every comment. That is hard to do sometimes. I always enjoy yours posts. They make MY day!
Hi Monica! Thank you for your understanding. And you are so kind too! Thank you for giving me some encouragement today. I really appreciate it.
Have a peaceful evening my friend,
Ceil
Dear Ceil, Do not worry about commenting back on your blog to me, as I really never get back to read it. One less thing to do for you! But I do love to come and read your next post! I hope you enjoy your next new adventure. But please just email me if you want to chat or need prayer as I am here for YOU!
I am going to visit my daughter myself, Thanks for being a faithful friend and blogger!
I hope you enjoy the tea cup exchange with Enchanting Rose, Stephanie is so sweet!
I was not able to do it this time with my trip coming up.
I am looking forward to some sunshine on my face…
Blessings Always to YOU! Roxy
Hi Roxy! Thank you for your honesty. It is one less thing to do!
Thank you for your offer to chat too. And your good wishes for the exchange. I hope I do a good job
Blessings,
Ceil
Stay warm while you’re out and about. Sounds like your winter is hanging on, my friend.
Hi Dayle! My husband and I are going out for dinner tonight (gift cards we got as Christmas presents, Yay!!). It is so cold outside, it hurts my forehead. But…we’ll challenge that weather and have a good time together.
Enjoy your fire and hot chocolate. That sounds heavenly…
Ceil
May the works of your hands be blessed Ceil. I certainly understand that blogging often has to take a backseat when we take on new ventures.
Hi Wanda! I teared up reading your comment. That prayer is one of my all-time favorites. Thank you so much!
I guess you know the same story right? Your new adventure will take you into new places too. All the best, and every blessing on your new path. I pray it will be fun too!
Ceil
You are so sweet! I read whatever thought provoking words you put up, whenever you can
Hi Patty! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your comment today. As you well know, time demands make it hard sometimes, you can’t be two places at once! I don’t know what the effect will be on blogging, but I do want you to know that I treasure our blog-friendship.
Have a peaceful evening!
Ceil
Visit when you can, always enjoy your visits my friend.
Hi Denise! Thank you so much for your understanding. I am pretty sure that visiting will not be much of a problem. It’s the response to comments that I might have to skip from time to time.
I appreciate your generous understanding, and I hope we can stay connected!
Blessings,
Ceil
Hello there Friend!
I wish you all the luck in the world for your new little adventure! May your light shine upon all that you come in contact with( and I know it will). You are my special treasure and I will continue to pray for you. I look forward to what you will be teaching us next. You ARE Always an inspiration Ceil!
Glory to God in all that you do……
Hugs,
Amy
Hi Amy! So good to see you! Thank you for your good wishes on the new path for me. Especially the prayers, I will treasure them.
And I really agree with your last thought my friend. Always to God be the glory. Thank you for your uplifting comments. I really appreciate them. I am so thankful that we know each other through our blogs.
God bless you always,
Ceil
Hi Ceil,
Amen to wanting to be in the light, and ‘Join the club’ to not being able to do all that we want to do sometimes eh?. It is lovely to come over and read your posts, even if I am a little late sometimes. Enjoy whatever you do Ceil, there is purpose to everything.
God bless
Hi Brenda! Yes, I have joined the club! I know that there are so many people who understand how it goes, yourself included. I’m happy for new opportunities, that’s for sure. But sometimes those changes cause a ripple effect, right?
Than you for your comment about there being purpose. I really agree with that. May God continue to lead us both in our chosen paths.
Blessings,
Ceil
I have an idea of your outside work and your experience and gifts for doing what you do are treasured commodities that need to be passed on. May God bless your work, Ceil. Keep a notepad handy! I’ve a feeling there are stories to be shared to encourage and inspire!
Hi Floyd! I have the feeling we both have our notepads handy, don’t we?
Thank you for your prayers for blessing. I treasure them. I know that God is leading me down a new path, and it’s exciting…and scary too. But I’m so happy that I have blog-friends like you to share it with.
Thank you so much for your encouragement
Ceil
Wonderful lyrics. I pray that as you are in your busy season, you will continuously feel God’s light guiding you.
Hi TC! It’s a great song. If you’ve never heard it, I hope you will pop on by youtube (what did we do before youtube??) and check it out.
And thank you for your prayers, I treasure them. It is a ‘busy season’ that’s for sure, thank you for the reminder.
I pray that we will continue to be connected through our blogs, and that we can encourage each other!
Blessings,
Ceil
Stop by when you can…my blog door is always open. ♥
Hi Dee! I love the way you phrased that. Thank you my friend. I think I’ll be ok with visiting….it’s the comment responses I may not have time to get done. I appreciate your understanding.
I’ll be happy to come to your door
Ceil
Wishing you many blessings on the work.
Hope it all goes well.
Ceil, at my Dr’s appt today a polyp was found and removed and I am praying it’s benign and I was also diagnosed with diverticulosis.
Many thanks for the prayers.
They meant to much to me.
Hi Margie! It sounds great so far! I will be praying for you still, in hopes that the polyp is benign. And I hope that your pain and discomfort was from the polyp, and you can feel better soon.
Hugs,
Ceil
Love DC Talk! Best wishes in your new endeavor. I’ve been absent around blogland this week too, not feeling well.
Hi Anne! Oh, I’m so sorry that you aren’t feeling well, that stinks! I hope you will be able to rest and baby yourself a little this weekend.
I’ll add you to my prayers my friend. Thank you for visiting the FB page too
Ceil
Those are beautiful words. Best of luck with your outside work, I hope your enjoying it. Thank you for stopping over. I agree with you on the movies, they come and go so quickly these days. However they do come out on DVD within six months or less so you should be able to see some of them if your rent DVD’s. I am buying several of this years movies to take with me to Florida when I visit my dad who is going to be 91 in June. He loves to watch them and I enjoy watching them with him. Have a wonderful Sunday and enjoy the Oscar’s!!!!
Hi Debby! Thank you for your good wishes. I am going to visit my Dad in a week or so too, he’ll be 89 this month!
We’ll enjoy the show tonight, and see what happens
Blessings,
Ceil
I love that song!
Best wishes and prayers to you as you embark on this journey.
xoxo
Hi Jennifer! Me too! It’s an oldie but a goodie as they say
Thank you for your generous prayers for me. I hope to serve the Lord in new ways. May God lead me in the right direction!
Blessings to you my good friend,
Ceil
