To blogging that is! So much time has gone by-I am using my old computer which does what it wants when it wants.
It was fun to redesign the blog and look at all that is out there to make your blog look pretty.
Lots to catch up on but it is way to hot right now-over 100 degrees everyday this week. Today my hands and feet finally decided to swell. I was doing so good and then poof!! It's painful too so that doesn't help my fingers.
Anyway, I can't wait to start writing again!!
Ciao for now!

A Plead For Patience
Alas, my sweet and loyal friends, I have come to make a brief mark on the ever neglected blog. Bear with me as we continue to work on my old computer and get things moved around, take some stuff off, put new stuff in, I just don't get it all.
Hopefully in the next week or two I will be back to my desktop and able to write away. I miss writing, I really do. I miss putting up some photos after I have fooled around with Photoshop longer than I should :)
Anyway, keep us in prayer, pray that we don't despise the day of small things, that we keep our eyes on Jesus. We know we are in the preparation stage right now and Spring is around the corner. It's like you gathered all the ingredients necessary to make the cake, read the instructions carefully, put it in the oven and then you have to wait and wait for it to be ready. I feel at times the Lord is putting the little cake tester in my middle to see if I am ready yet :) Ha ha, I love how He gives us pictures to understand. The timer is on, and we are prepared-----
equipped for all He desire to do this new season.
God's blessings upon your day !

Wow
Has it really been so long? I keep waiting for my computer to be fixed so that I can change up my site and unChristmasy it. I suppose I am just keeping up with those who say we should carry the theme of Christmas in our hearts every day!
It's kind of a drag not having my normal computer. I am very thankful for the laptop-it just doesn' t have all my programs and pictures and all my doo dads in it. Hopefully in the next week things will be back to normal.
I have been listening to a great study in 1Samuel the past week. (you can click on Calvary Modesto to the right if you want to listen). Wow, so many different things going on in my heart. Rejoicing, excitement, conviction, searching. Isn't that just what the Word of God is intended to do? Hannah's beautiful example of prayer and trusting God, how not to parent by Eli, the children of Israel wanting to be like everyone else and rejecting what they had, Samuel, and his heart to serve the Lord, Saul, Jonathon. It's just amazing. Yesterday I was literally almost jumping inside listening about Jonathon's faith. I liked the quote Damien used-
The children of Israel looked at God in light of their circumstances, yet Jonathon looked at the circumstances in light of who His God is. It is something we have heard before but sometimes it just needs repeating and the Lord knows when! It is so so true. Things around us can seem hopeless, bleak, mundane at times. Beauacracy, difficult situations, but who is our God? Has He not allowed these things to pass our way. Has He not promised "Lo, I am with you always". Do not fear, put your hope in Me...all these promises He gives us and yet when faced with difficulty how do we respond? Sometimes I just want to give up-throw my hands up in the air and say 'what now'. Throwing my hands up is good if I am releasing it all into His hands! I need to do that more often. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In ALL your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight.
What a promise that is!
I want faith like Jonathon-faith that says, you know what, the enemy doesn't scare me, I am not going to chicken out and go run and hide-I know my God, I know his record, I know what He has accomplished in the past, and I know He will do it again. Noone gets away with messing around with the children of God. We need not run into caves because of fear!!
How I wish I could put a little picture on the post today-or a little cute doodad. Once again it has to wait.
Throw your hands up today-give Him whatever you have been holding onto. Let it go and keep your hands up in praise!!! He loves you unconditionally!!!

Happy 2010~!
Jim worked on my computer today and did a parallel. Hmm, don't I sound like I know what I am talking about! Well, I don't have a clue! I do know that I am going to be able to retrieve my files which makes me one happy camper!
I will be able to have my graphics programs back and make little do dads,etc.!! I can even update the blog so it doesn't look like Christmas anymore.
I am thankful, very thankful that I didn't lose my pictures and scrapbook stuff!! YEAH!!!
ok=-short post, but I am too tired to write tonight. Updates and pictures will abound once I am able to use my computer again :)
Praise the Lord for a new year, new blessings, new everything with Him!!!
