My Partner in Crime...

My husband is my life partner. We are more than just married, we are friends. We love to be together. We have the most fun playing tricks on our kids… Poor little Children, had to be born to us… Our oldest son is … well gullible… and we take advantage of that fact. He happens to be afraid of spiders. Well I tell him not to worry, I’ll take him to the hospital if he gets bit. Somehow he doesn’t find the comfort in that. We got him twice yesterday, Anny had a plastic spider… and well you can guess. He thought it was real for a second or two. It was long enough to make him panic. The best one was when he was helping Daddy tear down the front porch ( it broke, so we had to tear it down and rebuild it), Que put the spider up on a board up above Matt’s head, and was able to make it fall down right on top of him… while Matt was looking up. The jig he danced was classic. Perfect timing and everything. Matt is a good sport about it.
Did you know that you can take the shower head off and put kool aid (just the powder) in the head, then screw it back on, and the water will come out what ever color the powder was… Yeah well Matt got a red shower the other day.
No, we don’t just pick on Matt, as a matter of fact, just today we had them all convinced that we were an hour late for church… and that we didn’t care. (A big thank you to daylight savings for helping us pull that one off.) My point is we enjoy life… We have fun, and we do it together. We spend time enjoying each other. Life is fun. I hope you have someone to enjoy it with.

Focusing on the Furthest Daisy.

Pastor Mark spoke yesterday on God’s will, how there are really three layers of God’s will; God’s sovereign will, God’s moral will, and God’s individual will. The three are basically layered. God’s sovereign will, is basically God wants everyone to be saved. God’s moral will is a little different; it is dealing with more specific areas, like should you have premarital sex, should you steal, should you go to church, things the bible teaches us. God’s individual will is more specific still; God has a specific plan for you, and me.
It made me think of a picture I took recently, a picture of a daisy. There were several fall daisies growing in a cluster. When I stopped to take a picture of them, I realized way back in the back was a small daisy. I specifically focused on the one that was furthest away. I wanted to look beyond the obvious to see the unnoticed. Sometimes that is what we have to do, look beyond our comfort into His plan. Don't settle for comfortable, when wonderful is just over the next horizon.

Then, as if to show me that He has a plan, and He knows where I am… Mark asked his Mom and Dad to come forward and be available to pray with people, they are retired Missionaries… Very much respected and loved, spiritual giants, (although Sara will laugh at me when she reads this, she is humble, as she should be). THEN… this is the amazing God part…Then, Mark asked me and Que to go up and stand beside Vernon and Sara… Wow! What an honor… I felt like a spiritual ant standing beside a spiritual giant. You Go God… Thank you God.

A beautiful sunrise peaking out from behind the clouds as an unknowing horse grazes in a lush meadow. The horse has no idea how blessed he is. After three long days of rain, finally the sun comes out again victoriously. Reminds me of God, when we are in the middle of storms in our lives that seam to last for days, finally God shows up, and breaks through our clouds and teaches us to trust Him more...

Funny, I haven't even seen the light yet in my current trial, but I am sure he is there, waiting for the proper time to step in and set things right. I know he will.

Ok I am not always that serious, the picture inspired it in me. I just got a Nikon D80. Awesome camera!! Takes some totally awesome pictures, so expect to see alot of them.

The other day, Friday 26th, I just had a feeling, so I grabbed my camera as I headed out the door. I am currently a student at the University of Montevallo, in Montevallo Al. Just up the hill from the college is this beautiful view. So tranquil. Horses grazing on a lovely horse farm... hills, trees, and on some days, clouds! I love clouds! I am certian they are merely a fluffy stepladder to heaven.

God and I, we are tight we hang togeather all the time. If you don't want to know Him, don't bother getting to know me, or I might get on your nerves. But if you are willing to chance it, so am I.
