Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo! Here’s a few Points on Finding a Soulmate for you!

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo! Wait for God’s prince for you! Can you tell I have the movie “Cinderella” on my mind? Yes, I do! I know that line sounds cheesy, but don’t be uptight with dreams. Dreams can come true. “A dream is a wish your heart makes.” So, it is possible to find your soulmate.

I am so glad I left the “husband desire of my heart” to God. When you pray and wait on God’s timing, any “cheesy” thing is possible. Don’t keep God’s dreams for you in an airtight box. Open the boring box and let the dreams fly!

I know my Cinderella dream came true when I married my husband. Yesterday morning, I was so in awe when my husband brought me breakfast in bed. He said, “Wait! Don’t get up.” He swooped around the corner and swept me off my feet. He had a decorative display of apples laced with caramel. Coffee sat to the side with a dollop of whip cream. He dolloped my heart with love and my life with adoration.

Here are a few points on finding your dream soulmate:

1. I can’t stress enough ladies, wait on God. Do not settle for the ordinary. Wait for the extraordinary. He has the best for you. Wait with patience and focus on the Lord. Everything else will be added to you.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. - Matthew 6:33

2. Girls, if you had a good dad, a dad you could depend on, look for those qualities. My husband has many attributes my dad had. I wanted a man I could talk deeply and spiritually with. I wanted someone to lead and love with a Christian love. A true Christian man will love you with a genuine adoration.

3. Finally, be happy by yourself. Work on your soul, heart, and mind as God gets you ready for your Prince Charming. Read the Bible and find joy in God. Only true joy will come from the Lord. You can bring that cheer into your marriage. And, as they say, “Happily ever after.”

Do you want breakfast in bed? Who doesn’t? Well, give your love life to God. When married, serve one another and strive to be romantic. Work like Cinderella to make your dream marriage come true.

"Memory Day" Memories

“Memory Day” Memories August 11 th , 2008 will always be etched in my mind. Why? Do you ask? That was the day the leading man in my life went home, my dad, Bob J. O’Banion. He was my encourager, support system, teacher, boulder, and most importantly, a godly leader. When you needed a hand, both of his calloused hands were there to hug, shake, and give you a pat on the back. When you needed Christian advice, his wisdom traveled from his can line to yours. With the can pressed against your ear, you’d hear, “God is the way, the truth, and the light.” He was a true definition of a man, a sovereign man. Integrity made him a humble guide through the Blueridge Mountains, the dry desert, and beyond. Love lined his face with deep canyon wrinkles. He sought and dug ditches to provide. The rooftop was his “day home”. Sun-tanned skin branded him a “sweat by the brow” toiler. Family sto...

Seasonal Change

The loss of my dad still hurts, especially when seasons change. . For those who have lost a loved one, the aching still seems to pulsate through the cracks left upon our hearts. . Seasonal change can breeze in bronzes of bereavement. It can fall with ambers of aches and molasses colored missing. . For me, this is true about Autumn. The leaves change once again, and my dad’s memory wafts o’er red-roofed wishing wells. The shallow water collects pennies of “wish you were here” under Birch trees. . Seasons and holidays blow in memories that patina the past. . Those who have lost a parent, we think upon childhood memoirs. Instances where we held our mom or dad’s hands, while strolling under amber stained glass etched with maple leaves. . I think upon harvest memories where the jack-o-lanterns flow, and the crockpot chili steams in bowls. . My dad walks behind my brother and I as we prance towards candy. In seasonal memory “trick-or-treats” bounce of...

Climb the Rope of Hope

I have to admit, I’m feeling a dew drop of sadness today. I was supposed to go to a RV show with friends, but decided to stay home. Why did I stay home? I miss my dad. It’s been almost 12 years and I still ache for him. I miss his love and his godly guidance (I’m crying as I write this post). I couldn’t go trudge in and out of memories. I couldn’t go up and down steps of the past. My heart couldn’t bear the weight of camper-sized flashbacks. When I was growing up, we were a band of gypsies, as my dad called us. We traveled the highway and byways of America in our RV. We’d laugh and play games. We’d have conversations about God’s beauty. We’d bond as a family, as a God braided clan. That bond has made me grieve a hard grief. That closeness clamors my heart with the dad category of love. I don’t grieve on a daily basis anymore. The wounds of loss have healed. The scar is not as prevalent. But, the missing still resides. The missing still dews rosy teardrops. ...
