lost in the jungle of summer

Between school school and church, life has been tumbled about.
I would not change a thing, I have enjoyed even the hard points.
I do wish I had taken a minute or two to rest, but I will do it when I am older and can not walk any longer ( teehee).
I was reminded of an awesome song that talks about this today by Laura Story

"Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near?"

I think sometimes it is easiest to go to God in the tough points of the day and pour out our complaints only- but we need to remember to be thankful in those moments TOO because we are learning and growing from them just as well as the happy times.
When ever a hard point arrives I try to remember to hug it and say, " If God brings us to it, He will bring us through it!"

I have really taken this to heart recently because I had been struggling with accepting an offer I had recieved for a job when I knew it may close doors for my husband. Praise the Lord two days after my official offer from the BIG BOSS, I found a posting that would allow my husband and I to stay in San Antonio and both have our dream jobs. Last night his door opened and we are getting prepared to walk though it together : ) Sunday we will visit the church he will serve as youth minister.

Our journey is just beginging and I am happy that I have great people around us to enjoy it with.

till the next blessing,
A

LIFE: Camp

I have had an awful lot of un published blogs lately. These blogs come from deep routed feelings that have surfaced this year due to one thing or another. Maybe some day these blogs will be unearthed but for today, this blog needed to be written while it was still raw.  I have very vague memories of third or forth grade summer camp at Alto Frio, where I met Nana Pudding ( a christian puppet) and went pogging for the first time in a river. Summer after sixth grade,  I got in church vans and headed to Louisiana for the first time to attend Student Life Camp, then proceeded to go to Angelo State University and Glorieta New Mexico a few times. I spent time serving during spring breaks at Riverbend Retreat Center which lead to an internship over the summer. The week that "Curtis" and I first really got to know each other, we were at Glorieta for Centrifuge camp.  Camp is a special place for me. Camp is a happy place for me.  In 2018, I was able to experience camp through ...

REVIEW: Gratitude: A Prayer and Praise Coloring Journal

{necessary information} I received this book as a try-me from Tyndale Publishers and the opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone and not those of the author or publisher {transparency of blogger} I have worked for preschools and coaching facilities and as a babysitter for most of my life. Sometimes you have an extra coloring sheet laying around while the kids are babysitting ( and sometimes it was on purpose) so you have to sit down with the kids and use the best crayons or color pencils available to color the extra page. Okay, okay, I love to color. There is something therapeutic to coloring.  { review Gratitude} I love all things girly, so the fact that this book came with a flowery firm cover- I was giddy. Then you open up to devotion surrounded with black and white images crying to be colored- I was over the moon. After I read the devotional there is room to journal through my thoughts, taking coloring breaks. I highly reccomend this book for all ages and would b...

love is patient and kind

There is a point in your life when you have to accept that your plan for your family( brothers, sisters, moms and dads) and friends is not your own. I grew up in a family where if I had not accepted their changes, I would not have family and would have grown up sad and alone. I grew up in a family where they did not attend church, so they knew that I was not happy about their changes but I still loved them and prayed for them endlessly. I do not have to agree with people or be uplifted by someone to show them Gods love though loving them. God loves us even when we endlessly try to walk away by sinning. These people may not be doing what God wanted for them but it is not our place to throw it in their faces, once we tell them- we pray for them and keep loving them.
