Fear...

Fear of the future, fear of sickness, of the swine flu, fear of where the government is going, fear of world events, fear of the UNKNOWN.

FEAR has robbed me of joy. It has sapped me of my strength. I keep fighting it, worrying....letting my thoughts run wild. STOP! It is enough. I am done.

God is my Father...I am his child, since when is that not enough? Has worrying ever helped me? Has it made things better?

And why do I worry, when I am so blessed. I have an incredible husband, 3 beautiful daughters who are healthy and have more energy than a herd of elephants on most days. I love the life God has given me. Love living in the city! Yet I'm allowing fear to rob me of my joy for life.

Forgive me Father for not trusting in you....TODAY I will embrace life! I will enjoy the moment. I will love this gift God has given me in TODAY!

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to an all-knowing God.
Corrie ten Boom

Don't worry about anything;instead pray about everything.Tell God what you need, and thank him for all He has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:5-7

Do these GIRLS have a MOTHER? And WHERE is SHE?

So its been raining and raining and raining some more...and finally the girls "dressed up warm", they said and played in the rain. They had a grand time....and their fashion....well, at least their fingers stayed warm!:)

September 2009

The first day at Classical Conversations.....the girls are loving it! It's only 1 day a week, but it's a fun day for all of us. Even though its a lot of work!:)

The girls had a great time making crafts at camp...

Church camping....phil had a great time playing with the church band!:)

Beth and her gang came for Labor Day and helped make salsa--who said making salsa is boring and takes long? Not with like 10 people making it!

Picnic at Reagon National Airport Labor Day weekend~ had a great time with friends and family, playing games and watching the planes!

Celebrating the Everyday!

I just love this new card kit that Close To My Heart is offering from now through the end of September, celebrating the joys of everyday life. That's what life is all about, isn't it?

I love the colors, and the stamp set is so cute. You can check it out at my site at savoringmemories.myctmy.com

It's been a while!

So much has happened since I've posted last, I about don't know where to start! This past month seems like its been extra busy, but then again its summer time and all the fun that goes with it. We went camping in July, the girls LUVED it! Fun times with family.... I staid in OH while Phil went onto Colorado on business. My little city girls:) had so much fun in Grandma's garden...picking vegetables and apples from the trees. We made applesauce too while we were there. Good times!

Making applesauce!

Having a bunny, is kinda like farming...

Yeah, a huh, that's what Sandra thought. I think it's time for a visit to the farm, whatta ya think??
But then, again, if farming is as easy as having bunnies....maybe we should all become farmers!

July 4th!

We had a great July 4th! I'm so thankful for the freedom we enjoy...for good times with good friends...
We had a cook out in our back yard and then went and watched the Manassas fireworks. They were good, but didn't last very long!:( We came back to our place and had our own little display of fireworks....thanks to Julie!
Ahh....what a fun night!









Good times with good friends...
