Blessed We Are

We had a huge fabulous rain on Sunday and the color outside aftewards was just beautiful!  So I stood at my doorstep and took a good ole Nebraska picture!  what else does Nebraska  have besides sky and cornfields?! :) 


after the storm....

He woke up and got dressed and put on all this "stuff".  And then went to let the kitties out.  He wants to be all of the heros in his life.  The tool pouch is to be like dad.  The boots and gloves is to be a farmer. And the hat is farmer too I think.  

What is the big deal mom?  This is normal.  Not cute, not anything.  And that is how he thinks. 

After the rain. 

Ahhh!  Isn't she just somethin'?   She has been really facing her first real character building struggles.  She's cutting those first four teeth and the happy go lucky chubbers is now an emotionally tired  pathetic bellerer. Oh but I just love her so much!!! 

He found a hat.  never mind it's a ladies hat. 





I found a new toy this week.  A coffee maker that makes iced coffee too.  And it's really good.  really good.  
And that's the things we're blessed with right now.  Among lots and lots of other things too.   I'm learning again to chose to trust that God is good and God is in control and learning to lean on HIM better and more.  I'm choosing to believe that and practicing to make the choice to turn my thoughts on that.  Because while our world is falling apart or blowing up.....ultimately heaven is next. The safety of being under HIS wings and trusting my God in heaven is the ONLY thing worth anything.  And that's the peace that passes all understanding.

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? Okay, now I expect to hear someone defend themselves for saying this or else clarify to me why it sounds so off the wall......no reading this w/out some input! 2. What else? 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.
