..on an open fire...

Dear you,

I bought another tree. It's really pretty..but then again....I'm biased.

Lately: Inside my mind there is a large quantity of thoughts that somewhat resemble mashed potatos and a crazy colored casserole you only see at church functions. BUT along side that lovely image is a portion of peace and confidence that God is God alone and He brings peace. I feel like that's an important message that the world needs to hear. Or maybe just my own ears/heart/soul/mind. The more I call the more He comes to bear me in His arms. He's like that.


Working in ministry has the potential to be a full time guilt fest. I'll leave it at that because I totally don't want to make a blog about my feeeelings, so please do not think that's what I'm doing. I'm simple talking....and trying to write the "rhema", I guess, that the Lord has been trying to get through to me. Which is that it (whatever "it" is) doesn't depend on my desire or effort but on God's grace.


I forget that when the rain comes and it starts pouring on my life.

My name is not Noah. This is not a flood. I do have a promise.

Love,

It's much more than a rainbow.

moon river & me...

I have already started my New Years Resolution List for 2011. So exciting.

91. Took my husband to a place from my past.
92. Shared a Louisiana traditional food with my new family.
93. Decked out my house with candy canes and more lights than Santa's sleigh.
94. Woke up at 5am to go Black Friday shopping at Best Buy. Epic failure. Target turned out to be a hit, tho. Hot buys.
95. Packed and wrapped Christmas presents for babies around the world.
96. Attempted to play the trumpet.
97. Played Xbox Kinnect. Embarassing and wonderful all at the same time.
98. Decorated 5 trees in one night. Loved every minute.
99. Went to an Oberlin football game and drank hot chocolate. This is a big deal. I do not like hot chocolate.
100. Penciled in some me time on my holiday and watched NetFlix movies on my iPad. 3 to be exact.
101. Decorated my first full family Thanksgiving gathering.

Pictures to come next time!
My baby dogs turn 6 weeks old tomorrow.

I hit 100! Milestones are for winners.

I have decided it's time for a random photo blog.

I haven't made anything cool or done anything profound in a little while...besides Christmas shopping.......and every day life.

Here are some rejected 7 Days of Something New list items.

A. Froze my fingers off at a Highschool football game.
B. Saw Super Hero children.
C. Watched a midnight movie.
D. DVD bargain shopping.
E. Cooked lasagna. From a box.
F. Browsed the Barbie aisle.
G. Bought Christmas Popcorn.


Those are too lame...well the Christmas popcorn isn't, but everything else is pretty "every day-ish".

I do understand it has been two weeks since I have blogged and so, yes, I am behind on the REAL list, BUT! I'm working on it.
And now to distract you.....





Thanks to the faithful.

Love,

BC
