Talking to God

I had a cute email forwarded to me a while back that had all of these notes on it from children who were leaving God notes.  I thought it was so cute, so I kept it. 

This evening Joshua and I were talking about "talking to God" and waiting for His response and how that response time isn't always what we want it to be.  (We always want it to be immediate!)  More than anything, I think what we both took away from our discussion was that THE most important thing is to keep talking.  Don't stop or become discouraged.  It's so nice to have my son home and to have him to talk to too!

1 Chronicles 16:9 "Sing to Him, Sing songs to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!"

Happy Memorial Day

May God bless those who have served to enable freedom.

It's been a long time......

My dear sisters and friends,

It's been a long time since I have posted anything.  If you will look at the last date I was on here it was January 10, 2011.  I found out later that day that the Judge had signed my divorce decree and although Jason and I had been apart for a year, and you think you are ready for it, nothing can ever really prepare you for the final tearing of the marriage covenant.

I feel blank inside.  I don't really have anything to offer at this point in time so I haven't.  I want you all to know that I have been on Facebook as a means to keep somewhat current with family and friends and not run away from life completely. 

I hope to one day come back here and be able to put down what God has taught me through this time of my life.  Right now, I'm still trying to understand it myself.  I understand if you don't "follow" me anymore but I want you to know that I hold you all dear to my heart.

Numbers 6:24-26 "The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace."

Lead Me to the Cross.....

What a beautiful song to be running through our heads today.............God bless you!!

Blue Monday

Happy Blue Monday.  I'm linking up with Smiling Sally and showing you some blue today!

I love this picture.  This is my father (they call him  Jody blue eyes)(he is standing to the left) and my Uncle Frank and their two sisters, Aunt Doris sitting in the rocker to the far left and my Aunt Liz in the brown shirt.  Aunt Jessie is Uncle Frank's wife and Aunt Essie is her sister.  This was at an Apple Cider shop that was oh so good! 

This is my Daddy and my Aunt Liz sitting on the porch at my Aunt Doris's house.  We enjoyed sitting outside and when the cars would go by we would just wave because it seemed like everyone knew everyone! lol

This is me and my Daddy standing outside of my Aunt Jessie and Uncle Frank's front yard.  I had on boots but we were "going up the mountain" so Daddy made me put on tennis shoes.  He kept complaining that I was overdressed!  lol  He is a handsome man, in my most humble opinion.

Aunt Jessie snapped this shot of me. I just loved being in Tennessee.  I found it so beautiful :)

Aunt Doris, myself, Aunt Liz and Aunt Jessie.  We had gone to a cookout to celebrate Aunt Doris's granddaughter's birthday.  We had a great time while the sun was out....as soon as it went down though.....oooohhhhh myyyyy!  It was cold and we went home! The natives stayed and enjoyed an outside fire pit. 

I had such a great time visiting with my family from Tennessee.  My Aunt Liz gave me a swatch of patchwork cloth from my Grandmother to make a quilt with.  And I heard tons of stories about their childhood that I had missed when growing up.  I hope to go back with my parents or my Aunts and Uncles again in a few months.  I cherished this time with them.

God bless you!  Have a wonderful day!

Blue Monday

Happy Blue Monday everyone!! I'm linking up with Smiling Sally and posting something blue today.  If you'd like to join us, click here.

This picture just tickled me!  My nephew, Jason, was under the tree looking for presents with his name on them and his father, Brian, called his name and he looked up just in time for the shot.  His pajamas had a blue cartoon character on them that you can barely see but his underoos had they been visible in this shot were very very blue! lol  It seemed like everytime we looked under that tree those underoos were high up in the air for us to see and we giggled until we almost cried.

He was one determined young man to find his name on his presents!  And he was so expressive when he opened them up.  He would say "what"?  Like "are you kidding me"?  Precious!  I pray you had a joy filled Christmas with all the wonders that children can bring.  My children are both grown so I am blessed that my sister has these little ones that still fill the home with giggles. 

Happy Blue Monday everyone!  May the Lord bless you abundantly today til your cup runs over!
