Busy Little Bee

I'm sure you've noticed that I have been away from this very special blog of mine.

Sorry for being so out of the loop. I have been extremely busy working and celebrating the holidays with loved ones. I'm back and ready to get back into gear.

Over the holidays, I made numerous POST IT Notebooks {that I hoped to post on this site} and in five days most of them were gone. I'm definitely not complaining.... I am grateful that people recognized the usefulness of these petite notebooks and thought of it when deciding on gifts.

The pictures below are a few POST IT Notebooks from my recent order:

Hump Day Quotes/ Inspiration {12/2/09}: Why Marriage?

WHY MARRIAGE?

Because to the depths of me, I long to love one person,

With all my heart, my soul, my mind, my body...

...Because I need a forever friend to trust with the intimacies of me,

Who won't hold them against me,

Who loves me when I'm unlikable,

Who sees the small child in me, and

Who looks for the divine potential of me...

...Because I need to cuddle in the warmth of the night

With someone who thanks God for me,

With someone I feel blessed to hold...

...Because marriage means opportunity

To grow in love in friendship...

...Because marriage is a discipline

To be added to a list of achievements...

...Because marriages do not fail, people fail

When they enter into marriage

Expecting another to make them whole...

...Because, knowing this,

I promise myself to take full responsibility

For my spiritual, mental and physical wholeness

I create me,I take half of the responsibility for my marriage

Together we create our marriage...

...Because with this understanding

The possibilities are limitless.

Hump Day Quotes/ Inspiration {11/18/09}: The Perfect Love

PERFECT LOVE

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone. To have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But God to the Christian says, "No, not until you're satisified and fulfilled and content with living, loved by Me alone and giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me, to have an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone.

"I love you, My child, and until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with Me -- exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desires or belongings.

"I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow Me to bring it to you. You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things. Keep learning and listening to the things I tell you. You must wait.

"Don't be anxious and don't worry. Don't look around at the things you think you want. Just keep looking off and away up to Me, or you'll miss what I have to show you.

"And then, when you're ready, I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you would ever dream. You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready, I am working this minute to have both of you ready at the same time, and until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I've prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, and this is perfect love.

"And dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty and perfection and love that I offer you with Myself. Know I love you. I am God Almighty, believe and be satisfied."

Hump Day Wedding Quotes/ Inspiration {11/11/09}: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up. Again, if two lie together, they are warm; but how can one be warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him.

-- Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
