Thinking....

You know sometimes when you over think things, or when you think about something so much to the point where you begin to feel anxious and worry about something that is so insignificant in the scheme of things? I am I the only one who does that. My mom always told me I make mountains out of mole hills and she is right (yes I just said my mother was right) But I do, I make little things big things and then the worry compounds and I forget what I am so upset about. If that makes any sense.

God has an awesome way of making us realize that despite taking our problems into our own hands, He is still ready and willing to take them when we are ready. There is a passge of scripture that speaks to my heart. Every last word makes me want to shout with joy, that GOD IS GOOD, and he is faithful in our times of need.

Psalm 27 (King James Version)
Psalm 27
1The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came
upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall
not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek
after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days
of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire
in his temple.
5For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in
the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me
up upon a rock.
6And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies
round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle
sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy
also upon me, and answer me.
8When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee,
Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in
anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
10When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD
will take me up.
11Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path,
because of mine enemies.
12Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false
witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness
of the LORD in the land of the living.
14Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen
thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Snow Day

Usually I am glued to the weather when the word snow is mentioned...I love snow so much and on the rarity that we get it I am always prepared. This time I have to say that I was out smarted, I was not expecting to even see a flake much less to my shock when I woke up this morning to see 2 and a half inchs of snow. I didnt even know it was supposed to snow! What an awesome suprise to wake up to, God suprised me with a snow day!

The Circus

We took addie to the circus for the first time, it was a blast! The first picture explains how much fun because she is knocked out, she slept through the whole second half of the circus! My child the one who wont sleep anywhere but at home conked out with all the lights and noise going on!

She was so excited to see all the animals and lights she thought that it was so neat! She kept pointing things out to me and when something suprising would happen she would turn to me with this look of shock and say OH NO!

Our favorite part was the elephants! It was so cute how they held on to eachothers tails with their trunks, it was precious, there is a reason my favorite animal is an elephant. It kind of reminds me of the way we are with God, how he leads us and we hold on to him. Like the baby elephant does when he uses his trunk to hold on to his mama's tail.

Long time no post

So I know it has been awhile since my last post what with Christmas and all I have a hard time keeping up with myself much less my blog! I have resoluted this year to blog more, or atleast try....

New order

Sunrise....The pictures say it all....

My journey....

Traveling....

traveling has not always been so easy for me, 9 hours in the car 3-5 times a year since I was nine, leaves alot to be desired. I have come to know those roads well, know where things are, and where to stop...

something about this trip though i have to say was very very different, it was the first time I made a plan trip down since jeremy and I went christmas of 2006.... my last journey was a year ago and that in such a hurry was by plane...

I didnt really know how I would feel traveling down these roads again knowing that I would not be seeing my dad when I reached my destination, how I would feel when I realized truely for the first time that he is gone and this place that i am headed too does not hold as much hope and love as I had always remembered....

The last few days have been spent going through my dads things, which I have handled suprisingly well, but I'm tired...

I think one of the highlights of the trip so far was the huge sale that they were having at the scrapbooking store....they are closing, which I found oddly symbolic in a way , it really made me feel like a chapter in my life is closing...

We will see what the rest of the weekend has in store....

Stay tuned...

The First Day of Fall

What is it about Fall? Is it the way the air smells, the colors that God paints across the trees, its almost as if the Blue of the sky is different in the fall....Is it how children seem more playful and happy than any other time? Or is it the joy of the cooler air....

There is something about Fall, something that make it my most favorite time of year, a time of year when you can almost smell that change is on its way, it is as if the labor of the summer melts away and transformation begins. Fall reminds me of happy times, things that warm my heart like hot apple cider, hay rides, pumpkin patches, apple picking, and that changing leaves.

Happy First Day of Fall!
