Busy and . . .

Today was a very busy day, and I didn't get enough studying done today. God has really been dealing with my heart over priorities and time management. For quite a while He has been talking to me about desiring His best for my life, and sometimes His best and mine have differed, but His best is much better always. I'm defininetly learning that in my life.

Today was very raining and stormy here. We have gotten so much rain lately that our back yard is a mess. I've got some new baby trees out there that are probably drowning right now, the poor things.




This is looking out our back door. Wow that is going to need to dry out before we can start our garden:0)

The Lord's Day & Roses

Sunday's are a relaxing day around our house. After church we generally go home and eat, rest and relax. This is the one day of the week that we use to really recharge ourselves, but this has not always been the case. We used to actually work on Sundays and I mean like at our jobs; especially my husband. But a couple of years ago our lives changed when we both lost our jobs, so we decided that I would stay home again and he went to work for a company that said that he would not have to work Sunday's. But he was there only a short time when they started wanting him to work on Sundays as well, but my sweet man of God said no way. He has been at this company for 2 1/2 years and I can only remember one Sunday that he has worked. I'm so proud of him. He told me that God could do more with six days of his week, than he can do with seven. So with that thought in mind, we decided to trust God, and we have never been sorry. Any time we have chosen God's way over our own, even if at the time it was hard, we have never regretted it. God is ALWAYS faithful!!

So as I write on this Sabbath Sunday and think about the rules our God has set for us, it is with a very joyful heart that we rest and relax today. God knows so much more what we need than we do, and He has put those things in His Word. If I truly want to know God's will in my life I need to talk to Him, read His Word and listen for His voice in my life.

P.S. This picture is of some roses we grow in our front bed in the spring. I just can't wait for spring to really get here, so we can plant and work in our flowers and garden. Bring it on!!!!!

Welcome!!!!!

Welcome to all!!! Thank you for visiting my blogspot, I hope you will visit often. I am always excited to share what God is doing in my life and I would love to know what He is doing in yours.

This was our Christmas card pic 2007. Since this is my first entry, I thought you might like a closer look at us. These are the kinds of pics we take, and this one is calm; you should see some of the others we took. It is never boring around here :0) and we'd have it no other way.

I am back in college via the internet. My major is Biblical Studies; I am so challenged and excited by the Word of God, I love to learn and He is teaching me so much. Currently I am in a study on the Life of Chirst. Recently I have been studying the parables, and one of my homework assignments was to write a parable. I found this very challenging and very thought provoking. Have any of you ever tried to write a parable? If you did what would it be? It is a very interesting assingment.

It was very stormy here last night and we live in the middle of tornado ally, so it is always a little tense around here when storms come our way, but isn't that true of other kinds of storms we face in our lives as well. They make us nervous and tense, but God is in control. When Christ calmed the storm, He wasn't worried about the storm. Have you ever thought about that? When the storm was raging, what was He doing? He was sleeping, (Matt 8:23-27). The storm was not bothering Him, because He knew that God was in control. I am so thankful that God sees and knows all, and is right with us in the midst of our storms. We can rest in the love God has for us.

In Christ Alone,
Dawn
