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.

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....
