A few things to be Thankful for


  • A cozy wood stove.
  • The funny foggy weather.
  • The boys that get to go out and help cut wood.
  • The one boy who "plashes" water all over the kitchen as he helped me do dishes.
  • A warm cozy dry basement to dry things in because my dryer isn't working.
  • Grandparent near by to come play checkers with the boys when our spirits are dragging.
  • The chance to talk about gluten free options and other important things with a few good souls.
  • Hearing that someone is giving us a chance to try a new grinder for rice and the like for learning to bake gluten free. Humbled.  And very thankful. 
  • A good mop to mop up ALL THIS MUD!!!
  • Friends and Family.  
  • The clean smell of laundry and wood smoke and coffee.
  • And the good latte I made for myself this evening.  
  •   Thanks all of you for caring and praying.  I know you're out there.....  Thank you!

In My Worship Place

Last time I posted I mentioned being in a quiet spot.      It's curious to me how one can be in a quiet spot internally but super busy externally and then be in a quiet season externally but Internally be in a season of seeking and crying and lonely.      Zerrick and Susanna's reception in our yard is over and my many siblings showing up for us was a cherry on top.   It felt like a relaxed good reception and I spent most of it watching people and listening in on little groups of chatter.      And then the twelve hours with my siblings on Saturday.  God worked it out so I could have tiny little snitches of chat that I could be assured that I got the most of the gift of them even being here.        We all stood around and prayed and cried and sobbed together for a short time before Bruce's left.  Healing.  I still feel emotional about it.  And now it's qu...

A few things...

Okay, I have a whole pile of pictures I'm going to post one of these days. In the mean time....a few more questions to add to my last post.... 1. What do people mean when they say things like, " He/she spoke peace/ blessing/ love/truth or whatever into my heart? How does one get truth spoke into ones heart by another person?

I was asking about what does it mean to have deeper relationship w/ God. So everyone said ya that's a good thing to desire. Here's my thought. You either have a relationship w/ God or you don't. So then who decides if it's a deeper relationship than....see how can you know? Can you compare? That won't work because God doesn't work like that....putting us on brackets of who is most spiritual. The only way you can use the term in having a deeper relationship w/ Go...

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.
