Praying for Healing

Sometimes it's hard for me to write when my heart is heavy. Some people find that is when they do their best writing. Not for me..that's when I do my best crying and praying. This weekend all though restful, is heavy. I bring a new request to the Lord that I have never had to do before. Cancer is in the world all around us and they say, everyone knows someone who is dealing with it. Well I too have known many, but not this close, not like this. My heart is breaking for the sweet person that now has this battle on their shoulders. But I serve a God who is bigger than statistics and tests and fear. I serve a God who loves His children and hates to see them suffer. I do not claim to know what The Lords plans are here in this situation, but I can tell you this...My heart is lead to pray for healing....our hope is in HIM first and our prayer is that of healing.
Bless you sweet friend....Lord Bless you no matter how this goes!

Me and the technicals...the technicals and I...technicaly

Ok, so I think I am on the home stretch now to getting all the techie stuff under my belt or under my shoe or under somethin...hopefully with a purpose. Part of me thinks it's all for nothing, part of me thinks I will be super grateful for the hours I have put in and reap some sort of benefit for it. I am going to go with door number two! It's a happier place in my head! As far as my life is concerned, I trust the ends will justify the means.
To be honest...I have to admit, I like it. I does appeal to the side of me that is structured and geometrical and finicky and meticulous. There is not allot in my life that I let operate in those terms. I decided long ago somewhere after baby 4 that those characteristics were not going to be easy to host in the life I have with the people I have in it. Well all that to say...I am a little more free than that and the (days) I have spent building all of "this" has been tedious, but deep down...fun! I think I knew it would be. That's probably why I held it off for so long. I didn't need something else in my life that would occupy me yet even more than all of the things on my happy table-o-ideas!
I caved... But I'm having fun...that counts right??

I think so!!!
Till tomorrow....Blessings all

What to do today..

Easter Monday, trying to figure out weather to rest on the couch, paint some walls, paint some art or play on my new found social media collection.... Like this. Well I guess for now at least while the coffee is brewing I have an answer, I am here!
I am going to paint some walls I think! Not mine though a friends. Oh I love doing that, painting other peoples house. It gives me the opportunity to paint and see a change without having my family see a different color living room AGAIN!..haha
Coffee is taking too long....ahhh
IT shall come, it shall come..just hold on, you can do it..you can do it! Yikes I think this need for coffee has grown into a bit of a monster...haha...A tasty monster!
I hear it!!! I hear it!!! It's calling me with those final peculating gurgles and bubbles telling me "I'm almost ready". I will get out the cream, the mug and the spoon..that should by me an extra 30 seconds...haha. Oh so close!..tingles of excitement...is this sad?....hahaha ...

READY!!!!!!

Be back after the first cup is in!....

HE has Risen...Risen INDEED

Loved this day. Celebrating the Lords Death & Resurrection! Oh I know, going out on a limb to talk about it on a public site but hey...that the truth about me. I am a Jesus lover! I am so thrilled that I know Him and He knows me. Thank God for that, cause as open book as I am, no-one knows me better than Jesus!
The Sun and the Son shone on all of us all day today. The kids played outside after church in the woods, building the tree restaurants and forest toll booths with pine cones as currency. Funny how even on those simple child activities I can see the Fathers love on Easter and of coarse always. I loved watching how the children played with joy. They used their imaginations and the joy in their hearts to build and create and interact with each other. I think by far it was the best day of the season yet!
Thank you Lord for all of it...all the stuff I saw and the stuff I didn't and the stuff I will never know about that you do that keeps this whole thing going!
Ohhh I feel so loved today!!!!

Starting the day with a walk with our neighbours blessing our land and honoring the Lord with a benediction ceremony was wonderful. It was sunny and fresh. It was warm enough to be tolorable and cool enough not to be hot as we walked our 1/2 mile driveway. We then all gathered for a pot luck breakfast, sang a few Easter songs and shared soem daily life stories. It was really beautifil. I think that was the most we have ever done on a Sunday morning before church. Then off to church for a great service with a wonderful pastor and a fellowship of friendly loving faces and hugs! So far this has been a wonderful Easter.
HE has RISEN! Risen INDEED!

Missed Me?

Oh boy...Here I am trying to get all the saddles up and riding on all the social media horses I can! Well Iam trusting that this will be what I should do. To be honest, I think I I have missed the time I used to spend with a cup of something tasty and an open mind to write on here. Maybe it won't be as hard to get back into it as I have made it seem in my head!
We shall see!
