Scenes from a movie

Do you at times think of you life as a motion picture movie and you just wish you could sit back and watch and not participate? Today was one of those days for me. It didn't make sense, I couldn't fast forward and didn't like any of the twists and turns, I thought I signed up a fairy tale but found myself in a suspense/almost horror and then maybe more like a documentary. I am still reeling and can't even talk about what I saw. I will look for some movies to help later.

Let's just say that I need Jesus more than I ever have before and so does my husband. This is one of those times in the new testament where people are just waiting for Jesus to walk by, I know that if I could just touch the hem of His garment I would be healed or Mike for that matter. I wish that I knew where Jesus was and I would cut a whole in the roof and lower him down, do you remember that story?

Savannah ran the store today and loved it! Mom is ordering away for Fall and holidays! more to come

40 day fast

I have the honor and priviledge to participate tomorrow in the 40 day fast

My teammate for the day is Nancy

What an amazing process. Due to a crazy schedule tomorrow. I am fasting from a few things. Reality TV, (this is a big one for me) and dessert. I will be at the hospital tomorrow with my husband and am not able to skip breakfast or lunch.



I am going to be fasting for not just my husband but Kiva!

KIVA lets you lend to a specific entrepreneur in the developing world- empowering them to lift themselves out of poverty. Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world. It's loans that change lives!



I love this quote by Anne Frank : No one has ever become poor by giving.



My daughter had the chance to see Casting Crowns this weekend in Spokane and they showcased this song, which always touches my heart.

what do you know?

Often when talking with friends and family I begin the conversation with

"What do you know?"

At times thoughout my blogging I will do the Thursday truths, inspired by Wendy or what are you thankful for? Its hard for me to admit that right now this week, in this season of my life. I don't know. I can write down biblical concepts that somewhere in me, I know I believe. I can sing the words to songs that I know I believe, but how come the tears that I cry and the pain that I feel hurts so bad? Why do I feel so helpless and so powerless?

Some of you know my husband is in the hospital in another town. Many of you continue to pray for us and for him, for a his mind to be set free, and I don't know how we would have made it without you'all. I hate feeling so small in this world and desperately wish that we served a God that we could reach out and touch and be held.

Thats where I am today.

My friend Anige said this.... The Lord does not always work in ways we expect and sometimes, He works in ways that break our hearts. But He is still good and He is still worthy of our praise. No matter the heartache, the joy will always outweigh the sorrow in the end. The weeping may last for a night - or a year - but the joy is on its way. We may be wandering in the wilderness tonight, but we can rest assured that we are on our way to the Promised Land

I am going with this today. Sometimes you have to rely on the faith of your friends....

saying this out loud

I BELIEVE IN THE SUN EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT SHINING.

I BELIEVE IN LOVE EVEN WHEN I DON'T FEEL IT.

I BELIEVE IN GOD EVEN WHEN HE IS SILENT!
