Bloggy Break!!

As much as I hate to, I need to take a bloggy break.  Life is super crazy around here!  (imagine that-w/ moving, Dave going overseas for two weeks & a major road trip-all in the next 5 weeks of my life!)

Feel free to browse around my blog-I recommend our adoption story if you've never read it (links on sidebar).

Next time I blog consistantly, I'll be in our new home!  (but, I am putting major miles on our van the middle of July-the begining of August.  Who knows?!  I might get really bored & decide to blog from my mobile.  Aww, who am I trying to kid?  I probably will.  So, check back every once in a while-or better yet, subscribe to my blog!)

I'm Taking TIME.....

For things like picnics.....reading books.....taking pictures & cuddling w/ my kids.

Any other good ideas for me? What would you take time for while you have so much on your plate?

Fun w/ the Babysitter!

The kids have been dying to play in the boxes....so last night, we had the babysitter do this w/ them!  What fun!

Something to ponder...

O Christ, in Thee my soul hath found,
And found in Thee alone,
The peace, the joy I sought so long,
The bliss till now unknown.

Refrain

Now none but Christ can satisfy,
None other Name for me!
There’s love, and life, and lasting joy,
Lord Jesus, found in Thee.

I sighed for rest and happiness,
I yearned for them, not Thee;
But, while I passed my Savior by,
His love laid hold on me.

Refrain

I tried the broken cisterns, Lord,
But, ah, the waters failed;
Even as I stooped to drink they fled,
And mocked me as I wailed.

Refrain

The pleasures lost I sadly mourned,
But never wept for Thee,
Till grace the sightless eyes received,
Thy loveliness to see.

Refrain

Picture Proof......

A friend of mine reminded me that I still haven't posted pics of our new house on my blog!

Bountifully Blessed.....

An hour of un-inturrupted packing time today-while the kids entertained themselves w/ cornstarch & water.....that is a true blessing-straight from my Father!!!

P.S.  Don't forget-I wanna hear how God has blessed YOU lately!

Bountifully Blessed....

Answered Prayer.....
For years I had been praying for energy.  I had been needing a nap every afternoon-no matter how much sleep I got.

But, the other day, as I was looking/praying over my prayer list-I realised-Hallelujah-energy is something I no longer struggle w/ on a daily basis! 

I am so thankful to my Father that He revealed that it might be celiac dragging me down-& I'm so thankful to be off gluten!

Any blessing from our Father you care to share today?

Bountifully Blessed....

Thank-You, Father, for summer.  I am sooo thankful for warm weather!  & thank-You for thinking of yummy things like corn-on-the-cob that grow in summer!



Bountifully Blessed....

Blessing for today?  A checked off "to do" list.....& the strength to do it.  In spite of very little sleep last night.  Thank-You, Father!

How have you been blessed?

Bountifully Blessed....

Today, I am thankful that the inspection on our house is officially DONE!!  Thank-You, Father, for helping me get everything ready yesterday.

What are YOU thankful for today?

Bountifully Blessed....
