My Blog is Trying to Find Itself

-
I know that you may come on here and every time it's different. Poor blog is having an identity crisis. I've had this blog for a few months and have learned what I like and what I don't. Not to mention, I found this cool header. So I hope to hold onto this design. No promises. I'm the same way with my house, I go through things quickly.

I hope to be content and just write. Not that I am going to write so eloquently, I'm simply going to write what needs to be written, according to my feelings, my thoughts, what I'm studying or what I'm going through.

I started another blog to just write like I would in my journal and I've noticed I haven't written on here as much...so I am wondering if another blog is really necessary. That's another reason I wanted to change the design to reflect what I like more. I think this blog now feels like it could cover both. Ah why must I separate myself out? I want to write about anything I feel like writing about...whether it's deep or shallow or practical or silly or mushy. All according to my ever-changing MOOD :) So welcome to the all-encompassing blog. Maybe :) Umm...did I mention one of the hardest decisions to make is what kind of candy bar to buy...I also am very indecisive. I'm sure you may have noticed. I also cannot visualize...it all has to be tried on. I still am not sure whether I will keep both. I might. This one feels like me now.

    Lol! My blog started out that way to and continues to morph. It's Bloggers fault. They make us come up with a blog name so quick, and we aren't even sure what are main writing will be about.
    If you have a selective range (like I homeschool and for sure wanted to focus on that with one blog) then do that. But if you want to write about everything do that. (which I did for my second blog). I have two because I really really like to write and it helps me get my thoughts figured out + accountability.

    So do what you want, and what God inspires you to do. It's your page! Whether it's a once a week update, or once a month...Go for it girl!

    Thanks Pam...love the advice and encouragement! For now I'll keep both :) This blog, I guess, is for me to talk about my relationship with God, mainly. I have a lot of growing to do with blogging and, for me, I'm learning as I go. Being new, it can be and has been hard trying to figure it out. Appreciate that I'm not the only one that has started this way :)

The Difference God Makes

-
So about a month and a half ago, I talked about the story in the Bible with the two demon-possessed guys that lived in the tombs, naked and cutting themselves, at prayer-meeting. Jesus cast the demons out and sent them to live in the herd of pigs. After he restored them, one begged Jesus to take him with him. He wanted to be with Jesus and be His disciple. But Jesus said, "No, go back home and tell them what I have done for you." And the man instantly obeyed - no questions asked. Forgive my loose paraphrase. I decided that since we were on the subject of the two demoniacs that night, I would share an experience that I had when I was a teenager, with them. When I was fourteen, I met a guy when we moved to a new town. I was completely into the heavy-metal scene. So when I showed up at school, he noticed me pretty quickly, wearing my black rock shirts and Levi jacket with the patches. Kids like us all gravitated toward each other because we had a common bond. Plus he thought I

Old Houses

I love old houses. I feel really sad to see them like this. To me this house is still beautiful, still majestic. I imagine all the rooms. All the detailed woodwork and moulding inside, the stairway, the high ceilings and old fixtures that are still intact. Like doorknobs, locks and hinges. Probably some of the original glass is still in the windows. At one point someone must have really loved this house.  This is a storybook house. It reminds me of the "The Secret Garden." It's tucked away and hidden. I can imagine myself wandering through the woods and stumbling upon it. Then bringing paint and other things to fix it up. I read a book once when I was a kid about a girl who found a house and did that, but I can't remember the name. When I see a house like this, it makes me think of the little farm family that once lived here. If I try hard enough I can still see kids running through the yard laughing and mama hanging clothes on the line. Simpler times, simpl

Down By the River

One of my favorite things to do on a Saturday afternoon - hanging out at the river. It was a perfect day. We went for a walk on the trail, enjoying the warm sunshine and cool breeze.  The kids chased butterflies and picked wildflowers. I spent some time down by the river just reflecting on God's beautiful nature and writing in my prayer-journal, while they played. So peaceful. My daughter, Sophie, myself and my youngest daughter, Amanda. Our friend, Martin, with Sophie and Amanda Mandie playing in the dirt. Martin can throw pretty far.  Ahh...JOY!!!!
