Beautiful Summer (Last weeks before school)

Snickers and I have been taking early morning walks all summer.  I started doing this because I've been watching my man take care of his knee with physical therapy and exercise and wanted to do something good for myself as well.  It seems like we are better together when we do this.  And then I ended up enjoying the space to organize my head.  I've become much more productive and calm in my soul.  Maybe one day it will help me be strong physically....at this point it hasn't helped that!  :)  Yesterday was extremely foggy  and the sunrise was rather amazing and beautiful.   When a girl begins her day with this in front of her it helps ground the whole day.  After all, only a big God could do this and I get to know him and be called one of His!  People can try to  change me up but God already's got it so there's the happy thing for you today!  He's got you too!  

We made a s'more bar for our guests last weekend.  It was very good.  Especially the salted caramel one.

Kids are so funny and fun to watch.  I love their hope and happiness.  

And they love the same things we love.  If they see us enjoying something they take it for granted that they're going to like it.  

This has been my summer spot to read and write and pray and cry.   Please summer don't go away!  This is where I pray for you,  Sharon and Norvan .    I'm praying all day long everyday for you guys though...not just here. 


 

She's my morning sunshine too. 

We're sending all three boys to school this year instead of homeschooling.  I thank God for my Jeanie to keep me company for the next couple years.  I've home schooled for so many years I'm not sure how this will all feel but It feels funny right now.  People keep saying how I must be giddy with excitement not having to teach this year.   I'm not giddy.  And I'm not terribly excited.  You know how when you've done something for so many years and then you have to figure out a new purpose and schedule?  That's me.    So I have a few things I plan to learn and a few  projects I plan to knock out.  But after that?  Who knows.  God knows.  Thankfully.

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.
