GOOD THURSDAY AM TO YA!
Good am ya'll how are ya doing? Its back to being cold again today. Yesterday was absolutely beautiful. Didn't get as warm as it could have been but it afforded us the opportunity to get out in nature & enjoy a very nice & long walk. Nora just loves the park & our lunch date we both love. Gorgeous colors everywhere of Fall are still around. Trees with many leaves still upon them & lots & lots and golds & browns & yellows & oranges. The park was just beautiful. We played on the playground after our walk & had a lot of fun. Our lunch date did the pushing of the stroller bless his heart & I really got moving as we were chatting and talking. We took the "long" route which makes our walk a vigorous almost 3 miles of walking up and down hills that are pretty dang steep. Funny we didn't notice with all the beauty and laughter & sunshine & Nora gabbing about our surroundings. Wow she's really talking good now! After the park Nora conked out and Kayla got home & out the door she went. Homework then dinner then Ghost Hunters & bedtime. Rough night at points so still not much sleep here. Its a fresh day & I'm up & having some time to myself. Coffee is about to be had & then I'll work on waking the buggas up.
I wanted to share an amazing read from one of my devotionals. It speaks to me sooooo much.
Faith Weathers Every Storm
“Anyone who listens to my teaching and obeys me is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse, because it is built on rock. But anyone who hears my teaching and ignores it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will fall with a mighty crash.” (Matthew 7:24-27 NLT) A hurricane rages off the ocean onto land. Winds in excess of 150 mph and a powerful storm surge blast the village that sits on the beach, splintering bamboo huts and throwing the pieces in every direction. But in the midst of the destruction, one house weathers the storm intact. The difference? This house is solidly built with a foundation set down into the bedrock. The roof is gone, but not even a Category 5 storm is going to shake the foundation. All of us know firsthand about the storms in life. Relationship problems. Financial setbacks. Betrayals of trust. Health crises. The awful consequences of bad choices. Everywhere we turn, we see lives and families destroyed by a storm. God’s desire, however, is that our lives and relationships survive the storms because of a strength that fills us from within. That power is released when we step out in faith and let Jesus live his strong life in us. The switch that turns on the power is obedience. The wise soul is someone who not only listens to what Jesus teaches but also builds her life on the foundation of obedience, allowing Jesus’ powerful message to make a real difference. The foolish soul doesn’t apply Jesus’ wisdom to the way he lives. The difference is revealed when the storms of life rage. The person who lives by God’s Word can withstand any storm. PRAYER: Lord, it seems like the wind never lets up. Some days it blows so hard I don’t think I can stand it anymore. Please fill me with the strength of your Spirit. Help me find the peaceful spot in the eye of the storm – the confidence that comes from trusting you and walking in your ways. POINT TO PONDER: “Walking the walk” is what matters, not “talking the talk.”
Wooooo doggies doesn't that getcha right in your heart & soul??? The whole dangnabit thing just speaks sooo much to Life & our choices & the last statement....YES Lord actions & words MUST good hand in hand. You can 'say' things and type them and what have you but they are just words. Talking & walking...what a grand idea.
Today is challenging for me but I am working through it. I'm tired & really trying to accomplish some things so that I might have some "me" time. I'm a bit of everything this am but what I'm not is scared or fearful to face this day with determination & my fiesty ways will get me through with the Lord's help & blessings. I'm going to smile & let God guide me where I'm needed. How about you?
I hope ya'll have a GREAT Thursday! All best...

Good morning! Prayers are coming your way as always. Girl this has been a really tough week but I'm TRYING still so that is something. The Sleep Fairy is plucking my nerves as are some people who truly could stand to seek God & not the Devil. Love you & I'm going to email you here in a bit.
