Scott and Me....

ok Wow I know I look very different! LOL it is the hair right>????

there are some funny things here... Scott had his beard and all but the week before our wedding he shaved it off! I was like whatttttttttt?? Anyway his reasoning was he might not have it when we had kids and how confused they would be... LOL He has not been without it since!

And my dress it was a wedding dress rental ...it was all vail and dress

$ 65.00 and we ended up getting top keep it because the gal had sold the shop and they didn't want the inventory... I remeber I wore a size 13 and the dress tho was an 18 I was a bit mad about that! but when she zipped the 16 I thought the zipper was gonna blow!! $65.00 ..WOW considering my niece spent $900.00 on a dress...well her dad did....LOL

ok well 23 years.. I wish I had the same body but am glad I am not the same person. peoples... LOL

Amazingly exceptional....

God is amazingly exceptional
My mouth can not speak the Love I have for Him
My eyes can not take in the Glory of Him
My heart explodes with Love for Him
My hands ache to be at work for Him
My ears long to hear these words from Him
Well done good and faithful servant.

This day I am full of wonder at all He does for us ...

God is never average but always exceptional...
As Christians shouldn't we follow His example of excellence
and STOP being average???

BE STILL AND KNOW....

How many times do you have to break

before you are fully broken?

How many faces does repentance take

before it becomes a mere token ?

How many times do you have to hear the words

before you realize it is God who has spoken?

BE STILL AND KNOW I AM GOD...say's He....

how cute is this??

the boys and the girlfriends went to Kings Island yesterday got this picture taken...I just love that they the boys dressed alike........

letting go of the control

So what Do we control anyway??
not much I am thinking So why do we try and hold on to it (control) so tightly? Our fingers wrapped securely white knuckled at times around something that is an illusion CONTROL - like smoke and mirrors it looked one way until the smoke clears and you find you are seeing something else.
This illusion of control is in so many areas of our lives and reality we can control very little - this last couple of weeks here in Indy there has been storms & tornado's we can not control the wind there are people who do not live in flood plane areas yet are in 5 foot of water how do you control the wind or the rain?? We do not - only God does... and children we raise them up we teach them whats right and whats not - yet they walk out the door pretty as you please and do what it is they want to do with little regard to your "control" over them SOOO why do we even think we have control ? How do you just let go release those fingers one by one and laying back in the knowledge that God is in control .

fire sky & Jesus

pretty purple and orange sky.............

thought Jesus was coming - seriously went out listened for the trumpets ....

no trumpets no Jesus on the clouds just orange fire sky....

back to work Christians ...

thoughts

well after swimming 53 miles I got a swim lesson today I told the life guard I won't probably ever learn Spanish and I grew up as a swim rat and I have never been able to do the water breathing/not breathing thing as a swimmer always had to hold my nose to go under once under I am good to go it is just getting there ... and the swimming across I keep my head up outta the water not so efficient ...
well today I started it I still can't quite do both as in swim and keep the breathing in and not not breathing in 1/2 the pool! ...but hey I did do it a few times and I didn't die whooo hooo!

the sky is dark and cloudy and my brain is too
my heart is full of cloudy gloomy rumblings

I feel moody and dark and want to live in an old Victorian house above the crashing sea..with 10 cats (keeping in mind that I don't particularly even LIKE cats!) and a wood burning fireplace and books to read and chocolate cake to eat . nobody comes except the grocer boy to bring mail and supplies...of course I would get no mail coz I would be that crazy lady up on the cliffs in the old Victorian mansion

been typing some lessons some teachings and such and not getting some of the principles . like life doesn't revolve around me well duh and why not?? LOL I do love Jesus life revolves around Jesus and I don't get in that ever so practical way HOW I am not supposed to get involved emotionally in life when life involves my emotions...where do you draw the line at it isn't your fault? And admit when it is?

unaltered life can be so confusing... good but confusing...are you confused yet?

June 2, 08 ~ lovin Jesus

Can I just say here that I love Jesus??
Seriously ...He is awesome and the grace and the love that He shows us His compassion and mercy is tremendous...
typing up some notes and well all I can say is wow thank you Jesus.

I see the world and it's craziness
I sometimes join in I must confess
my heart grieves for the things I do & see
My soul yearns for the day it will be free
away from this world full of darkness and sin
the day my soul joins with Jesus is the day true life begins!
