This is a fantastic link to a
web camera setup at a
African Water hole.
You also can hear all the
live sounds all around.
You can watch this 24 hours
and see the animals live come

Abba Blesses us
Sept 17th @ 11:58 pm
We welcomed Audrey Anna
our newest member of the family!
I am still lost for words. She's just
beautiful, I am unable to share
pictures, as the net is an odd place,
already pic of me, people have used
on adult dating websites... horror!
So I made the decison to never put
my children, family through that,
nor myself again.
In these last months I am so
disorganised. I could not remember
my password for here on grab, nor
any of my security questions to get
it back, then I found it again a few
days ago, in my journal praise Be!
I did not get up to the right weight
for my pregnancy, kept losing and
the doctor did glucose and bp tests
and all normal so I haven't had much
weight to lose, in fact just 11 lbs
and that's gone and I am just dealing
with leaky boobies syndrome.
ANY child cries, anywhere... BOOM!
I become a waterfall of milk.
My day is filled with Audrey, and
Jase, he loves his little sister. Is
two children enough ? Hum, I wish
to adopt also and Mike and I are
talking of this as I wish to make
the raising all as much "in one" as
I can; so we will soon start the
process and ask Abba to guide us
along.
Smells of baby powder, creams,
of Autumn, my favorite season,
yet this one is so rainy, damp
and chilly -- tonight thick fog,
and we also have a new puppy,
whom someone abandoned at the
side of the road to our farm.
Mike he's with Audrey and Jase,
in our bed, surrounded by pillows.
What a dad he is, lol, I think the
expression on his face when he
first held his daughter said it all
to me ~ This is one special man,
whom I never knew was growing
up, as I was, thousands of miles
apart, who I met on a warm sun
filled day, on a little sail boat
in the ocean, smells of banana
and coconut oils, smells of
the ocean, was to be my partner
and I am blown away each day!
We have our challenges, yes,
but in those too, we find the
time to grow and share, touch
within ~ and learn.
And you all here, Grab will
always be a special place,
where I can connect with my
friends of all ages, beliefs,
all as One, joined not by
an organisation, only accidentally,
but by friendship, respect and
love.
I can not post at a great pace,
nor get around fast, for my eyes
are many places, my ears tuned to
needs, but I am here again and will
gradually start to catch up.
I want to try out some new
games I see too, and hope to
see you all in chat again!
Love & Blessings

How Great Thou Art

How Great Thou Art
Click on the image above, to listen to
the midi, at Mamarocks.com
Oh Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder
consider all the worlds, Thy hands have made.
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
To take me home
what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And there proclaim my God, How Great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my savior God to Thee
How Great Thou art
How Great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my savior God, to Thee
How Great Thou art, how Great, Thou art!
This has always been one of
my favorites, and many times
gave me comfort, and released
joy in my heart. JolieG

The Spirit Within
Jun 26, 2006 | 11:53PM
|
I am the Spirit within you. I am balance and harmony. Seek me in the tumult of fear and anguish and I am the soothing balm that will heal. I am the light in the darkness of your pain and aloneness. You shall find me in the stillness of time for I am the peace that you seek if you will but hush the frustration and anger that tears you apart, for I am there to guide you through the many disillusionments and disappointments of your life.
I am the Spirit within you. I speak to you in honesty and with dignity and if you will listen you will know that I love you, indeed as you do not love yourself. I see the many facets of your make-up and indeed to me I love them all. I am the Spirit within you. Find me in the solitude and the silence of your mind and I shall bring forth from within my power of goodness and love.
I am the Spirit within and I watch the seasons of time. I am with you as your heart races forward into the spring. I am happy with you in the summer of your peace. As autumn comes and tucks away the dreams that will never become reality I am there to soothe the broken heart. In winter I bid you patience, peace, that you can create a perfection with me that will strengthen and support all your days.
Indeed. I am the Spirit within you and I know you in all your moods for I am you and you are me. I see, I feel, I know, only through you for we are one, you and I will grow together as the seasons come and go until we are still in the Silence of God.
Until we understand that only blended together are we truly fulfilled, I love that which you are and that which you shall become for in truth I am you and you are me until eternity.
We move together you and I as does the sun and the moon, moving to a rhythm that is as old as time itself. The moon may seem to disappear for a time and only stripes of light cut the inky darkness of the night but it is there as I am, the Spirit within giving you the power to believe in us and in life.
I am the Spirit within. I am one part of you that you may reject at times and yet you cannot exist without me for I am you and you and I are one. Together we are the Illumination of GOD.

I am back, gently
Jun 26, 2006 | 11:49PM

I don't know where to start, to thank
each and every one of you for your
incredible support - your love and
your friendship ... means the world to
me.
At Anna's death, I withdrew, exhausted,
into my quiet place, then couldn't seem
to find a way out. Sometimes God puts
us on "still" so He can work with us, and
mend our hearts.
I am feeling better, but will be going slow
some with internet and taking my time,
and not stressing out, I want my daughter
to have a calm in the womb process and
it has been anything but, until now.
I am back to work, on a very limited basis,
so while at work, I shall have DSL, and
can do the one class, and lurk about in the
teacher's lounge and catch up at Grab and
with you my dear friends, who are the
number ONE reason I am on Grab.
I'll be back everywhere asap.
I love you all so much.
Some friends, disappeared off my list, while
I was away, not by choice, I don't know
what happened, but I changed my password
and re-added and hope I've got everyone
back again.
My love to you, God Bless

Remembering Anna

Remembering Anna
Anna and I were both born in
Bulgaria, she lived a few miles
down the road, on another farm,
and we were soul mates, from
the first day we met.
We have flown so many kites,
rode our bikes on dusty summer
hills, collected and brought home,
every stray animal, we have
laughted, and loved and cried,
unconditionally like sisters,
but more, because love joins
us forever.
It is very hard to say goodbye
to Anna, this Thursday, June
8th, we'll bury her body in
the back hollow on our farm,
with the wild deer, open spaces,
rolling hills of Kentucky.
I had promised Anna, I'd take
her home, this month, to Bulgaria,
one last trip, and on our way back
to the US, we'd stop in Tuscany.
I couldn't keep that promise, Anna
I am so sorry, you and I were both
too unwell to make the long journey.
Abba ... Father, I know You have
already taken Anna home, she's
all around us now, and held within
Your heart forever; and we shall
meet again ~ Please take care of my
sister, my best friend~ thank you
for allowing us to love each other,
and for all those nights as children,
when we watched the fire flies, and
sang under a summer moon, and
thanks for the memories, with me
always.
In Jesus name, Amen.
Anna would have been 30 on
June 22.
But Anna the soul lives eternally.
Cancer is a terrible thief; but
nothing can steal us away from
God, and nothing can seperate
us in Eternity!
Love You Anna, always will
Jolie

And, here Anna dear is your special song:
From this moment, life has begun
From this moment, you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong,
from this moment on
From this moment, I have been blessed
I live only, for your happiness,
And for your love, I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart,
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart,
My dreams, came true, because, of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing, I wouldn't give
From this, moment, on
You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams, came true, because, of you.
(Modulation)
From, this, moment, as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing, I wouldn't give
From this, moment
I will love you, (I will love you) as long as I live
From this moment on

My Creed for Living

My Creed for Living
I choose gentleness...
Nothing is won by force.
I choose to be gentle.
If I raise my voice may
it be only in praise.
If I clench my fist,
may it be only in prayer.
If I make a demand,
may it be only of myself.

P e a c e, be still
Dec 30, 2005 | 5:47PM

 P e a c e, Be Still
May God richly bless you
May his face shine upon you ...
May he show you your worth
Not as is seen by man
But as is seen through his grace-filled eyes
May you always see others as God sees them
May his love abide in you
As he abides in you
May his peace fill you
And the holy spirit overflow in your heart
Let fountains of Joy fill your soul.
For you are ever loved by him.
In times of quietness
May you listen to his ever still voice
As he whispers peace be still
The storm must obey his voice
The birds of the air are in his hands
As is all that lives
But yet you are more precious than rubies
Of more value to Him than his own life
For He gave his all for his treasure
Holding back nothing from you
He said you are my beloved
You are of more worth than you will ever know
Touching the hearts of God's people
And drawing others to his loving presence
Do not be discouraged in times of quietness
Our God is communicating with your heart
He is calming your storms and
Removing the things that life has placed there
Rest in His arms and listen to his quiet call
Seek Him in this quiet hour
And know that he is still there

Things to say, to SUPPORT someone who is depressed.
Dec 29, 2005 | 9:34AM
|
Things to Say ~ to support
someone who is depressed
It is most tempting,
when you find out someone
is depressed, to attempt
to immediately fix the problem.
However, until the depressed person has given you permission to be their therapist (as a friend or professional), the following responses are more likely to help
So,
how about... 
"I Love You" "I Care" "You're not alone in this" "I'm not going to abandon you" "Do you want a hug?" "You are important to me." "If you need a friend... " "It will pass, we can ride it out together." "When all this is over, I'll still be here (if you mean it)
and so will you." "You don't say anything, just hold my hand ." "All I want to do now is give you a hug and a shoulder to cry on.." "May the strength of the past reflect in your future." "God does not play dice with the universe." - A. Einstein "A miracle is simply a do-it-yourself project." - S. Leek "We are not primarily on earth to see through one another, but to see one another through" "If the human brain were simple enough to understand, we'd be too simple to understand it." - a codeveloper of Prozac "You have so many extraordinary gifts--how can you expect to live an ordinary life?" - from the movie "Little Women" "I'm sorry you're in so much pain. I am not going to leave you. "I listen to you talk about it, and I can't imagine what it's like for you. I just can't imagine how hard it must be." "I can't really fully understand what you are feeling, but I can offer my compassion."
"Depression is like a very dark storm... you are in the middle of the storm now and can't see your way out... but it will get better. One day you will be able to turn around and see that the storm has passed... "
And...
Some people trivialize depression (often unintentionally) by dropping a platitude on a depressed person as if that is the one thing they needed to hear. 
Platitudes don't cure depression, So..
Please do not even think of saying...
"What's "your" problem?"
"Will you stop that constant whining?
"Have you gotten tired yet of all this me-me-me stuff?"
"I thought you were stronger than that."
"No one ever said life was fair."
"Pull yourself up by your bootstraps."
"Stop feeling sorry for yourself."
"There are a lot of people worse off than you?"
"You have it so good, why aren't you happy?"
"What do you have to be depressed about".
"Happiness is a choice."
"There is always somebody worse off than you are."
"You should get off all those pills."
"Cheer up!"
"You're always feeling sorry for yourself."
"You need to get out more."
"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
"Take a hot bath. That's what I always do when I'm upset."
"You never think of anyone but yourself."
"You should buy nicer clothes to wear."
"You can do anything you want if you just set your mind to it."
"Depression is a symptom of your sin against God."
"You brought it on yourself."
"You can make the choice for depression and its effects, or against depression, it's all in YOUR hands."
"What are you worried about? You should be fine."
"Go out and have some fun!"
"So, you're depressed. Aren't you always?"
"What you need is some real tragedy in your life to give you perspective."
"Try not being so depressed."
"Quit whining. Go out and help people and you won't have time to brood."
"Why don't you give up going to these quacks (ie doctors) and throw out those pills, then you'll feel better."
"You don't like feeling that way? So, change it."
