Freedom Friday – On Friendship With God

October 10, 2014 by Patti 5 Comments

04-My backyard 033

She’s baaaacccck . . . Oh nooo . . . poor Mr. OTN!

Last night when Mr. OTN came home from working another 12-hour day of kicking disease’s hiney and taking names, we sat down to dinner and I launched right into a review of my exciting day:

*I talked to the grass man and we need to put flags on all of the sprinkler heads before they come out to treat and re-seed the grass.

*I talked to the floor man and he will be coming on Tuesday morning to bring sample colors for us to pick from for refinishing the hardwood floors.  By the way, we will need to make sure all of our furniture is moved off the hardwoods (never mind that we just moved everything in) before he arrives!

*I talked to a nice man at Home Depot who helped me find the perfect sized sheet metal screws that I needed to finish putting together the new living room end tables.

*And oh yes, my chandelier crystals came in the mail – WOOT! – to dress up my thrifted kitchen chandy.

 I ended this one way discourse by telling him that it had been a very good day.

Mr. OTN listened to the best of his ability (too exhausted to comment) and then retired to the den to watch a few minutes of Thursday night football and the news (simultaneously) before retiring to bed.

As I picked up the dinner dishes I mulled over the significance of what had just happened.  Laying my work aside I went into the den and asked him, “Can you tell I’m feeling happier?  Did you notice that I’m more talkative then I’ve been in weeks (it’s a fact that words tend to bubble out of my mouth when I’m feeling happy)?  I think the old Patti is back!  Is that a good thing or a bad thing?”

He says it’s a good thing.

16-My backyard 015FREEDOM FRIDAY – The name of a new devotional, emotional, spiritual and sometimes hysterical series that I will be sharing on occasional Fridays, in addition to my regular Old Things New home decor posts.

In my last Freedom Friday post I spoke about times of Feeling Lonely now that we are far away from the place we once called home.  Afterwards, I was so touched by your encouraging comments on this blog, Facebook and via email.  Thank you SO much!  I was also saddened for those of you who experience feelings of loneliness yourselves (I’ll have more for you at the end of this post).

 In that post I also spoke about spending time drawing nearer to God and depending more upon Him to meet my need for friendship.  I shared that in my quiet time with Him I felt as if He was saying to me that He wanted me to “know and be known” by Him in a deeper way.

20-My backyard 006It is getting better indeed as I become more settled into my new home and get to know my way around the community.  We’ve made a decision to settle in for a little (or maybe long) stay at a local cathedral church.  Sorry, I couldn’t help that strike-through . . . the churches here are just so BIG!  I’m NOT yet feeling led to join any small groups within the church or to get busy volunteering right away (I’m too busy talking to grass men and floor men).  I know that could be construed as isolating (a big no-no in Freedom Session) but right now I am enjoying cocooning (something I also spoke about in my last post), drawing nearer to God and spending some very deliberate time seeking His presence.

I’m reading a great book by Dutch Sheets called Pleasure of His Company: A Journey to Intimate Friendship With God.  In Chapter 11, The Spoiler, he makes reference to a man by the name of Obed-Edom who (back in Old Testament days) had the privilege of hosting the ark of the covenant (where God’s presence dwelt) in his home (probably on the screened porch), at King David’s request.  During that time of living in the midst of God’s presence he and his household were blessed in every way and when, at the end of three months, David decided to move the ark to Jerusalem, Obed-Edom packed up and moved his whole household right along with it!  He had become spoiled, or “ruined” for God’s presence.

13-My backyard 021Thankfully we no longer need a holy-of-holies to experience God’s presence as He dwells within each Christ follower in the person of the Holy Spirit.

Tell me, how often do you really stop and think about the fact that His presence is right there with you?  Right there . . . wherever you are.  That’s awesome!

05-My backyard 032

It is also awesome to know that God desires friendship with us.  In fact, that is what He created us for! 

So does He want to be a casual acquaintance type of friend?  No.

Does He want to be a best friend type of friend?  Yes.

For the most part I try to live an authentic life before others but that doesn’t mean baring everything to everybody!  I’ve been fortunate enough to have a few very close friends whom I’ve allowed to see deeper into the real me.  My girls and I have often become quite vulnerable as we’ve opened our hearts to each other.  We’ve entrusted ourselves to one another and in doing so our friendships have grown stronger.  This is the kind of relationship that God desires with us . . . but even more so!

14-My backyard 019In studying about more intimate friendship with God I decided to do a little Obed-Edom challenge to myself.  A couple of weeks ago I dedicated myself to daily seeking God for the next three months.  This doesn’t mean picking up my Bible, doing a daily Bible reading, journaling out a quick response and going my way.  What this means to me is really seeking Him, inviting Him into my space and asking Him to reveal Himself to me.  Then I wait . . . and I listen, inclining my ear toward God, leaning in close to hear what He wants to say to me.  I’m enjoying God’s presence in a new way right HERE . . . on my own screened porch.

The Porch is my Happy Place 001

In this special place I close my eyes and wait for Him.

And He is delighted to reveal Himself to me.

01-My backyard 039Having been very active (translate – BUSY) in Freedom Session for the past four years I realize what a luxury it is to have this time of “cocooning”, with no obligations other than home and family, until the time that we know what God has next for us.

17-My backyard 009I wonder, will this time change me?  Will I, like Obed-Edom, be ruined for God’s presence?  I hope so.  I hope that when we are ready to emerge from our cocoon, nourished, refreshed, and strengthened, we will be different . . .  transformed . . .  and more ready than ever to give back to others from the depths of what God has given us.

02-My backyard 037Now, back to those of you who are still feeling alone and lonely. I hurt for you, I really do, because I still have times of feeling lonely too.  But you know what?  One of the lessons Freedom Session teaches is that there is no excuse for loneliness and that there is actually a cure!  Do you want to know what it is?  It is doing something for someone else.  Even during this cocoon time, our time off from a very demanding ministry, I’m asking God to make me a light to the community around me.  I’m asking Him for words to say to touch the heart of each person I come in contact with . . . including the grass man and the floor man and the hardware store man.  I’m asking Him to make my life a blessing to those around me, especially my husband, who works so hard to provide for his family and gives so much of himself to others.

10-My backyard 026So, I want to encourage you, first of all, to begin actively seeking God’s presence and building a best friend relationship with Him.  Maybe you’ll even want to join me in the Obed-Edom challenge and see if it will change the way you feel.  Take some time to go deeper with Him.  Lean into Him, draw strength from Him and bless Him back with praise and worship.  Next if you are lonely stop looking for someone to be YOUR friend and BE a friend to someone else!  Start small.  Write notes of encouragement to others.  Leave comments on people’s Facebook posts or on the blogs you follow (I have received SO much encouragement myself that way).  Become a secret giver of little gifts to others.  Make eye contact and smile at every person who comes your way (unless you live in NYC – just kidding).  You can even ask God if He will give you a word directly from His heart to share with someone who needs encouragement.  I promise you that YOU will be the one who benefits most from encouraging others. 

As a bonus, from the mouth of Mr. OTN, here is a medical fact for you to ponder:  Did you know that smiling releases endorphins that cause you to feel better?  So smile . . . smile a LOT!  If you are alone smile at yourself in the mirror!  You’ll not only begin to feel better but you’ll look a whole lot nicer too!

18-My backyard 008 The Bible says that Abraham entrusted himself to God and that living a faithful life earned him the title of “God’s friend.” James 2:23 The Voice

The Bible says that the reason we love God is because He first loved us.  1 John 4:19 The Voice

The Bible says, “You direct me on the path that leads to a beautiful life.
    As I walk with You, the pleasures are never-ending,
    and I know true joy and contentment.  Psalm 16:11 The Voice

The Porch is my Happy Place 004

PRAYER: 

 Father God, thank you that because of Jesus (and certainly not my own righteousness) you have made me worthy of being called your friend.  Thank you that you actually desire my friendship and that I can talk to you about anything . . . because you already know everything . . and yet love me anyway.  May it not always be about me talking . . . bubbling forth with words of my own . . . but may our friendship be mutually beneficial.  Teach me the art of listening to you.  May our friendship be a blessing to YOU!  Thank you that You are always with me, that you never leave me or forsake me.  Thank you that the life you offer is a beautiful life filled with true joy and contentment.  Amen.

Blessings,

Happy Mother’s Day – Sweet and Bittersweet

May 11, 2014 by Patti 2 Comments

Mother's Day 201 002

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the beautiful, wonderful, and loving moms I’ve known throughout my life.

Mother's Day 201 007

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s who’ve been less than perfect, who’ve made mistakes, who may even have regrets, but have never ceased to love their children ferociously.

Mother's Day 201 008

Happy Mother’s Day to the sweet moms, the loud moms, the kind moms, the funny moms, the helpful moms, the irritable moms and the nurturing moms.

Mother's Day 201 010  Happy Mother’s Day to the moms who sometimes become overwhelmed with all that life lays upon them . . .

Mother's Day 201 009

  . . . but still find the time to focus on the ones who need them most.

Mother's Day 201 014

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms who are no longer with us . . .

Mother's Day 201 006 . . . but have left their mark on our lives forever.

Mother's Day 201 011Her children rise up and call her blessed;
    her husband also, and he praises her:
 “Many women have done excellently,
    but you surpass them all.”
 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Proverbs 31:-28-30

Mother’s Day Blessings,

Valentine’s Day Celebration With My Gal Pals!

February 12, 2014 by Patti 13 Comments

BLOGGING BREAK UPDATE:  Yes, I am still on a little break from blogging while I  finish up some home projects, catch up on past due doctor appointments, delight in a fun new painting course I’m taking (I’ll be sharing more about that in the near future), enjoy a couple of mini vacations and wait while my blog is undergoing a transformation!  However . . . I simply couldn’t let Valentine’s Day pass with slipping in a “little” post. Last night I had an early Valentine’s Day Celebration with some of my “gal pals”.  I belong to a small women’s group (through the Freedom Session class that Mr. OTN and I direct locally) that meets weekly.  Every once in awhile we have what we call “Going Deeper Nights” where we meet in one of our homes and share dinner and our lives.  My current small group began in September and we have gotten to know each other pretty well by now.  Since it was my turn to host, and since Valentine’s Day is this week, I decided to decorate for the occasion just to let these women, who have been so brave and authentic in sharing their lives, know how much they mean to me.

Christmas at The Secret Garden Tea Room

December 21, 2013 by Patti 14 Comments

I was so excited when the day arrived for lunch with my two friends at The Secret Garden Tea Room.  All three of us really needed a break from our overly busy lives and we wanted to do something special where we could dress up and feel pretty!

On the day of our planned lunch the weather here in the Pacific Northwest was bitterly cold and not expected to reach even into the 20’s.  Here is a sample of the group texting:

Rose: So Patti, what did you have in mind as far as dressing up?

Me: I’m not sure.  Something warm!

Rose: LOL! Okay, something warm sounds good.

A little later . . .

Me:  Okay, so I’m dressy on top, in holiday attire, and warm on the bottom, black jeans and UGGS . . .

Rose:  Great! I guess I will trade my 6 inch stiletto heels for warm and comfy.  I was really looking forward to wearing those heels 🙂

My friend Rose.  She always makes me laugh.  And quite awhile later . . .

Debbie: I’m totally missing out on the whole conversation but I’m good with whatever you ladies decide and I’m so looking forward to our time together. It’s been way too long.

It had been way too long since the three of had been together.  Life can be so full that it can be hard to take time out to have fun.  It was just about one year ago that the three of us were having lunch  (a time when one of us going through a bumpy spot in life) that we decided to get together on a more regular basis and have our own little “support group” of sorts.  We share our highs and lows, we laugh, we shop, we laugh, we eat, we laugh, and . . . suffice it to say that being with these two dear friends is, for me,  like taking a mini vacation!

02-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 019

The Secret Garden Teahouse, Sumner, Washington

This is the beautiful Victorian mansion that houses the tea room.  It was so cold that day that I could barely stand to stay outside long enough to get this picture!  Brrrr . . . Let’s go inside for a walk-through.

05-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 023 The halls were gaily decked, including several Christmas trees, all with different themes.

14-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 039

The Secret Garden Tea Room menu is amazing and the food delicious but I have a confession to make.  When it came time to eat I was so hungry that I dug in before taking any pictures!  Since our lunch was a late one we were the last to be served so I couldn’t even beg to take pictures at someone else’s table (not that I would actually DO that)!  So, sadly, the pictures above were stolen off the tea room’s website.

17-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 042

 I think our waitress felt bad for me because she brought out her own lunch plate for me take pictures of.

 

18-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 043 I am so bummed that I didn’t get pictures of our own lunches.  We each ordered something different and the presentation was amazing!

07-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 027After eating my entire lunch I had enough control over my appetite that I was able to get a picture of this dessert plate that we shared.

06-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 026So delicious with a final cup of hot tea!

08-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 029Here are my dear friends Debbie (on the left) and Rose (in the middle). They are beautiful, inside and out.

10-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 034And here are two new friends we met in the tea room.

37-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 079After lunch we spent some time in the gift shop.

34-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 076

39-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 082When we came to the hats Rose told me that she looks terrible in them.  I coaxed her into posing for some pictures so I could prove her wrong.

49-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 096

48-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 093I think she is just darling!

51-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 103Rose insisted on taking a picture of me in the gift shop too because she said it made me look pretty!  Haha! The day before a much needed cut and color I wasn’t feeling too pretty at all!   I think all of the beautiful things in the shop were just making my eyes sparkle!

We’re finished with our shopping and ready to go . . . but wait a minute . . . where has Debbie disappeared to? 

52-Velvet Pumpkins & The Secret Garden Tea Room 069 (2)Oh Deb . . . have you found two new friends to replace us with?  Well, yes maybe they won’t talk as much as we do . . .  but they’re kind of stiff doncha’ think?  That Debbie . . . no one is a stranger to her!

 It was a wonderful day spent with my friends.


Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12
New International Version

I feel so fortunate to be part of this special threesome and for the other great friends God has brought into my life.  Do you have special friends in your life?  Having good friends includes a willingness to open your heart to others.  It means taking a risk, as some people will hurt you.  If you are lonely do something nice for someone else.  Giving of ourselves, being transparent about who we really are, pouring love and encouragement into the lives of others, this is the way to a good friendship.    

 

Blessings to you,
