It's Monday

     I'm saying It's Monday in a nice way!  Not in a horror stricken way.  :)  The sun is brilliant.  The air is crisp.  The robins all came back last week and they're playing in the cold sprinkler water. They are what being joyful really looks like!  It makes my heart happy.
     Somewhere in the last month I got overwhelmed and swamped with life and now am so behind in my housework.  Today is my day.  Zerrick is having a field trip day/ school day on the job with his Dad.  And Keagan can afford a day off of school work.  So today is my day!  I am pulling out my bulldozer and watch out world!  Cheri is here today and tomorrow.  She's going to sleep in and just veg and clear her mind for her next set of study at Hesston.  
       My mind has been cobwebby too.  So I started thinking about why?  I don't know for sure but I have a small pile of friends right now who are crying.  And so I'm crying too.  With them and for them.  I know life can't always be sunshiny but I wish for them the sun would shine again.  So I'm curious?  What about those unanswered prayers?  What about those circumstances that seem too much right now?  What about when the sun is shining but it sure is dark in here?  There aren't any cut and dried answers are there?  Is there a method to conquer and come out stronger from those times?
      I woke up this morning and my verse for the day was," Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might." .  I guess God knows where it's at.  I don't really need to tough it out. I'm still digesting this one out.  But I think my first fragile beginning is to not toughen up and grin and bear it.  I think I'm going to see what God's strength feels like.  So I'm just watching today....whispering to God about those heavy things on my mind and seeing what He's gonna do.

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.
