Picking-In

I just happened to find someone who has a laptop and wanted to let everyone know that "crazy" is how it has been. We are out of our house and, if you can believe this, I'm actually at this point "relaxing". The Scripture that God continues to bring to my heart and mind is Psalm 91:1-2, he who dwells in the secret place of the most High God, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to my God, you are my Refuge you are my God, I will trust in you (my version). And one in Isaiah that says "you will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed in thee (I will put the whole Scripture and reference once I am home).

Thank God for His incredible Word...all-sufficient, filled with comfort...Thank you Jesus!

More to come once I have time...

Hungry Critters


It has been exciting around here. I had to take these pictures to show just how nasty these critters (termites) can be. We had to pack all our edibles on Tuesday and out of our house on Wednesday. I wanted to take a picture of our tented house, but forgot my camera. The workers showed me a piece of wood that they took of. There wasn't much wood left, all that was left was the paint - an incredible sight! Anyhow we were able to come home on Friday and tried to get the house together before leaving to a Leadership Retreat.

Update

For those of you who at times read my blog - just wanted to let you know that I have not fallen off from the face of the earth, I've fallen a few times, but not off the face of the earth.

It has been really odd-crazy around here. Let's see, doctor appointments, lab work, x-rays, plumber, termite inspection, doctor appointments...did I mention doctor appointments, me under the weather (yeah, what's new), back went out, neck did not want to turn, a cough that just doesn't want to go away, some medical issues that are still being checked out...

And in case you are wondering..."the circus is coming to town!" Yes, my friends, we have to tent our house for termite fumigation. We are now in the process of working out all the logistics - this is so complicated! Who would have thought these tiny little creatures could create so much havoc and do so much damage.

So anyhow, keeping up with blogging, even though there have been things I want to write(good things), has been close to impossible. I just wanted to stop by and say hello, I'm still here...keep praying for us.

Beautiful Table







Tea Time!



On Sunday we were invited by Theresa to a Tea she put together for her Mom, Gloria. The Hall family has become just an incredible part of our lives - we love them all! Anyhow, the table was gorgeous and the food was "DELICIOUS". Theresa and her aunts really out did themselves. They really should have their own business. Everything was yummy and gorgeous. The company was incredible. We felt like such ladies...we had a wonderful time. Thank you Theresa for all your work and for having us be part of this wonderful time:)

Busy, Busy, Busy

Wow, has it been busy around here. Lots of Doctor's appointments, both for myself and my daughter. Now we have follow up appointments...got to love these bodies! Amidst of it all I have to thank the LORD that we have health insurance - hasn't always been this way...thank you LORD!

I have also been blessed by the LORD to be able to spend wonderful time together with women that I love. I've been able to simply sit and spend quality time with each one of them.

I had a chance to spend quality time with two dear friend. We sat and enjoyed a quiet evening together over dinner. We treasure these times together.

On Saturday, my friend Laura and I got the opportunity to spend the day together. We not only had the opportunity to sit together and enjoy each others company, but we also got to enjoy getting fed both spiritually and physically by wonderful women of God. We got to attend a wonderful Conference at Grace Community Church. The theme was COMMUNION with God and COMMITMENT to others. I wish I could give you ALL that I received from the LORD through these wonderful teachers, but I would not do it justice. Suffice it to say that what we were taught was not watered down and was like a scalpel in the hand of a surgeon. Surgery of the heart took place and, although it hurt, I know that the healing and the "health" of my soul is what God is looking for in me.

God has truly blessed me with wonderful women around me.
