Hidden Treasures: A Welcome Home Opens Doors
http://montanajulie.blogspot.com/2012/02/welcome-home-opens-doors.html
Saturday, February 11, 2012. A Welcome Home Opens Doors. In the past 5 or 6 weeks I was so encouraged and delighted by the same compliment. From two different people. Would like and it's almost a recipe for disaster. I've begun to learn those are my quirks and most people don't hold me to such high standards, particularly not when gauging how comfortable they feel in my home, or anyone else's. The most frequently asked question when people visit for the first time or two is, "do you. To take my shoes off?

Hidden Treasures: November 2011
http://montanajulie.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 26, 2011. Let's Return to The Simplicity of Christmas. Have we completely lost all grip on reality? This year people were pepper sprayed, bloodied, robbed and looted all in the name of getting the best bargain for Christmas. Has everyone forgotten what Christmas is really all about? Is there no goodwill to be found? About, just without all the modern day fanfare. We didn't even buy presents that year. And we survived. Dare I say thrived? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Hidden Treasures: June 2011
http://montanajulie.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 30, 2011. Facing The Giant Called Fear. I now face another aspect of those fears and I am running straight into them, hitting as hard and fast as I can. I am terrified yet I go forward. The last week of July I am traveling internationally again, albeit a small step, to Toronto, Canada. Steve and I will be part of the small front runner mission team with a goal of setting the stage for future teams working with missionaries already on the ground. So, fight I will. I plan to get on that ...

Hidden Treasures: The Slightest Encouragement
http://montanajulie.blogspot.com/2011/12/slightest-encouragement.html
Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Last week I was battling one of my infamous lip episodes. Even though I caught this one earlier than the others, it still took a toll on my face. The other two were humdingers with my lip hanging down to my chin so in comparison, this one was nothing. But to me it was definitely something. I'm generally self-conscious so any anomaly. And then the most encouraging thing happened. From about 30 feet away I saw a young woman I admire greatly. It's my new curling iron! Such grea...

Hidden Treasures: Perfection....
http://montanajulie.blogspot.com/2012/02/perfection.html
Thursday, February 9, 2012. In the past couple of weeks I've had the oddest "ah-ha" moments over truths that are not really that profound but they struck me with such awareness I was forced to stop and contemplate the strangeness of such things. First, somebody posted something like this on Facebook. Yet it's comforting and encouraging at the same time. J: It's not like God expects her, or anyone else, to be perfect anyway. J: Please, go on. S: God does expect us to be perfect. If that weren't true, ...

Hidden Treasures: August 2011
http://montanajulie.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 27, 2011. Uniquely Qualified, For Such A Time As This. I have tried in vain over the past 18 months to find answers to all the "why" questions surrounding my double diagnosis in April 2010. At times those eluding answers nearly drove me crazy. Buried deep in my soul is the knowledge that everything that happens to me is for a purpose, nothing is wasted and nothing happens without going by the throne of God first. You'd think that deeply hidden knowledge would be enough. I have been uniqu...

Hidden Treasures: Grace and Mercy...A Life Lesson
http://montanajulie.blogspot.com/2011/12/grace-is-everywhere.html
Tuesday, December 6, 2011. Grace and Mercy.A Life Lesson. What doesn't make sense for me is to change my route because it will add a lot more time and waste gas as I virtually have a straight road between my home and the office. That being said, I found myself fairly unaware of my surroundings as I drove home today. While still in the church parking lot I checked my voicemail. Since I don't have a bluetooth. P: Where you headed? P: Do you have your driver's license on you? J: Yes. (I handed it to him).
