Wishy Washy??

After a day playing in the snow, we watched as the snow quickly melted away. Now we have only traces of snow left and tomorrow the weather is expected to be in the 70's!! Go figure! It's amazing to me how crazy the weather can be....so wishy washy, inconsistent, much like my life.

I have had to look at myself and re-evaluate who I am....what do I stand for.....what do I believe....does my life follow my convictions? I have joined a women's Bible study at church on a book "Faith and Doubt" and it has me thinking alot about myself and where do I fit into this world. I have really enjoyed the few sessions that I have attended, but I am struggling to find what God wants me to see. I think some days I know who I am, I am firm in my convictions and I stand strong....then something happens to knock the wind out of me and I can't stand up straight, I wobble, I turn and hide.....why am I like this? Why do we cower away from our true beliefs? Why must I always let the world in which I live in influence who I am or how I act? All I can say is that God is growing me. He has a purpose in my life, a purpose far bigger than I can see, a purpose He will reveal in His time and for now, I must wait, must persevere, I must continue on the path that I believe He has set before me and pray, Pray, PRAY that I am being obedient to His word.

To you this may sound like a random post.......but to me, it speaks of my struggle right now. for now, I will seek Him on my knees and praying that He answers me loud and clear. May we all meet Him on our knees and humble ourselves before our Lord and King.

Have a Blessed Weekend Y'all!

Snow Much Fun.....

We had snow much fun yesterday! We got snowed in with some GREAT friends that are more like family and we played in the snow all morning yesterday! We were like Popsicles when we finally came inside. We had snowball fights in the front yard, built a snow man, pulled sleds in the yard, then the REAL fun began.....we got out the John Deere Tractor, loaded up the trailer with all 8 kids and adults and off we went to the boat ramp up the road to sled down the BIG hill! It was so much fun! The littlest ones had fun for awhile and then the newness wore off and they wanted to go back inside. We had to take showers to warm up and of course Hot Chocolate too! Enjoy the slide show!! Hope you had a safe and Blessed time in the snow too!

What is this white stuff???? SNOW???

Yes, we got some white stuff....it's more of a dusting, but they say it is snow and they cancelled school! So we decided we would join them in the no school day. It's just a dusting, but enough for the kids to play a bit and mommy to get some pictures! Here's a slide show! Enjoy!

Pure Disappointment....

Have you ever felt so disappointed that you were just miserable? Depressed? Unmotivated to do anything? That is me today. When I went to bed last night I could feel the start of it. There were HIGH hopes here for some SNOW! We haven't had snow in years, just slush the past few years, we wanted some real fluffy white stuff to sled in, make snowmen, and throw snowballs! I went to bed knowing that people that lived north of me were getting snow and people south of me were also getting snow, I just KNEW ours was coming. Maybe the snow was like Santa, I had to be in bed asleep before it would fall, so I went to bed. I prayed, I hoped, anticipating it like a child and I couldn't sleep well at all. I finally got up at 5:30 hoping to see a beautiful winter white scene.........NOPE. Nothing! There was snow on the trampoline in the back yard, and a small dusting on the deck. That was it!? Really? I checked the news and everything was closed! WHAT? For what? WHY? Well, it seems that everywhere had snow, except for us. People north of us had enough to throw snowballs and those south of us, they are sledding, building snowmen and having a great time. I am sitting here bored, frustrated, jealous, disappointed and mad! I wanted some snow too. Why is it that such a silly thing as not getting snow has me so down? Oh well, I am off to watch a movie with my kids. We took the day off, cause everyone else has the day off...so why not us too! :)

Blessings to you and if you are playing in the snow, throw a snowball for me, not at me! Hee Hee Thanks!
