its been a long time

I know I keep saying that I will do better at this whole blog thing......sorry that I have not been doing that.
A new beginning!

I love to spend time with the Lord in His word every morning!  Just Him and me!
How about you are you doing that?  What is He showing you.

I am so glad that I do spend time with Him in the morning, because I never know what my day will hold.  So glad that it is the day that He has made and I am glad and rejoice in it.   So feeding on His Word in the morning is so important for me.

I have had a full summer so far.....working alot at our business, (which I am usually just in the background) helping out where needed and then helping my nephew to raise 7 children on his own...long story, and sick in-laws.  Doing a Nehemiah study with Beth Moore and her blog world.
I am learning this summer about His steadfast love!  He is faithful!  I truly can follow Him and His leading.  I just need to ask Him for everything and I mean everything.  He cares about it all, the big and the small.

When life seems out of control, remember He is not!  He is steadfast!
Hopefully, I will be on here more sharing what God is doing in my life.
So how about you?  Would love to hear what God is doing in your life.

A New Year!

I guess I am not a good blogger!  Well, I am going to try to do better. 
So what do you like to do?  Scrapbooking, knitting, crocheting, etc.......
Knitters and crocheters, have you tried Ravelry?  Great place for patterns and getting to know others. 
Just got back from a scrapbooking weekend with my girlfriends.  We call ourselves the HIStory Keepers.  We love scrapping and interweaving our love of Jesus throughout our pages. 
Will try to share more often.

Musings!

I am so excited about what I am learning about the blog world.  I have just added an mp3 player and a widget.  I did not even know what a widget was.  Hoping to learn more....anyone have anything to share in this area?

Vacation is such a good time to do things that you would not normally be doing or get done things that normally don't get done and also time for visiting with family and friends. 
A time of refreshment!

Of course my favorite place to go vacationing is the beach!  Yeah!  Even in the rain!
So where do you like to vacation? 

Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend I am spending it with my family. It seems as the boys get older there are less and less times that we have together as a family, so I like to seize the oppurtunity when I can.
We have a lilac festival where we live and this is one of our highlights this weekend and the firemen's parade. It is neat to see all the surrounding towns bring their firetrucks and hear all the sirens blaring! When my guys were little they once got to ride on one of those fire trucks in the parade. Much to their delight!
So how about you this weekend? What are you doing?

Oh yes, check out my friend Lynne's blog. She is a scrapbooker and does a great job! Way to go Lynne! http://lynneforsythe.blogspot.com/

Life is just tough sometimes!

I believe that we go through tough times so that we can get to know God better. It is during those times that we lean on Him and draw our strength from Him. Are you going through a tough time? I encourage you to get into His word and memorize it and meditate on it. Give Him praise and glory and sing to Him. He delights in you!

Geetings!

April came in with such warmth and sunshine! I almost wanted to get out and get my garden planted. But, I know better than that, Today it is raining which is good because we really need the rain. I look out my kitchen window and see the pussy willows in bloom and the buds growing on my lilac bush.
I just love this time of year. Every new and fresh.
So how is your walk with the Lord? New and Fresh? His mercies are new every morning and great is His faithfulnes! Are you faithful in spending time with Him each day? How about memorizing scripture? I know that you may think that is hard to do, but last year I memorized 24 scriptures. Never thought I could do that. Here is how I did it. I memorized 2 scriptures a month. It is a great way to do it because you can meditate on it as you memorize it. I would like to say that I thought of this myself but in reality it was Beth Moore who challenged us to do it. I have to say that it is life changing for me. I continue to memorize scripture.
So, I challenge you today to get started, get yourself an index spiral, ( good to use because you can carry it around with you everywhere and when you have a few minutes you can do it).
Fill yourself up with Jesus and His Words.
