So Much

Life is filled with so much extreme.
  Just in my little bubble I have the extreme of tears one minute and hysterical laughing the next. 
 Or joy and pain right next to each other. 
   The extreme of surrendering and  worry.  
  In world news it's killing and hate but the world news that doesn't get put on is about kindness and love too.
  Today, I'm tired and  if I really admit to myself my issue it's fear again....  
 But I read in Psalm 139 that light and darkness are the same to God, and that HE knows everything and is everywhere.
  He knew me before I knew myself.
 So it's surrender and remembering that this moment isn't the whole story.  
But this moment is the part I'm in and God is here before me....He knows the story. 
 Rest.  
And memorize what I have now.  
Because now is pretty amazing.
Because God has provided so much .
Because this world is filled with so much pain that I can't reach.
But I CAN realize what I have and thank God for it .
And I CAN touch the lives here beside me.
And the what ifs in life can take a  hike for today,
Because today is what I've got.
Thank you God.

"remembering that this moment isn't the whole story." Thank God for that. I think this sort of sanity is what I cling to the most. thanks for saying it like that.

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.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

      Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school?  I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble.  But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.  And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about.       So for my story to write  let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer.  Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story.  But not this time.             Jeanie's been having focal seizures.  We don't know when they started.  All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
