The What If Question?

You know life can be so uncertain at times. Eric & I have been married for 25 years this past August and life has certainly not been easy at all for us. Marriage is not always easy and decisions made within that marriage is certainly not easy at times. But we have to realize our decisions decide our destiny. About 14 years ago we were at a tough place in the road and what if I had decided to bail out. I could have very easily - we didn't have children then but somewhere deep inside me I knew GOD had put us together and no devil was gonna tear us apart. Now years later we have two beautiful children and God is so good and faithful to our family. The road has not been easy or a piece of cake by any means but over and over God has been so faithful to us. Remember as we go through life to be careful with the "WHAT IF" question.

DAWG DAYS

"DAWG DAYS" - I heard about this from Karen Yancey - a lady I heard speak a couple of years ago at a WM Pastor's Wife Dinner. She said she would take a "DAWG DAY" every now and then. "DAWG DAYS" stands for DAY ALONE WITH GOD. You know we all need that time when we shut out everything around us that is going on and go somewhere or get alone somewhere and spend time with him. We cannot exist in this world without spending time in his presence listening to him and what he is saying to us in our spirits. I truly believe we can see and hear God everyday in our lives if we just stop and listen. We get so busy sometimes that we just don't take the time to listen. God seems to speak to me in the simplest ways in everyday life. But DAY ALONE WITH GOD DAYS are times when we just get away from it all and focus on hearing from him on a matter or just to enjoy being with him. I love to take pictures as most that know me know. I have made up my mind that hopefull soon in the future I am going to take a day and go and take pics of things are beautiful in our surrounding area. God shows up in those things and can speak through them to us. So somewhere on your journey - take time - enjoy a "DAWG DAY". It changes things.

Fall is in the air!!!!

Fall is in the air!!! I am getting in the fall mood. I have already got some fall stuff out - got some mums and gonna get some pumpkins here soon. There is a cool breeze when you go out now in the air. I baked and I don't like to bake hardly except in the fall - but I baked a pumpkin/spice cake last night. It turned out perfect (unusual for me) and I was so proud of it I took a pic of it. Easy Easy Recipe. One box of spice cake and a can of pumpkin. Real moist. Enjoy the change of the seasons and the leaves turning. God put it all here for us to marvel at and he is so majestic. We live in the mountains of NC and the beauty here is so wonderful to behold at times. God Bless!!!

JEWELS

I HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT LIFE IS A JOURNEY AND THERE ARE THOSE PRICELESS THINGS YOU LEARN OR GLEAN FROM WHERE YOU ARE AT THE MOMENT. THEY ADD TO YOUR LIFE AS YOU GO ON WITH YOUR JOURNEY. LIFE I BELIEVE IS ABOUT SEASONS ALSO. AS SEASONS CHANGE EVERY YEAR SO SEASONS CHANGE IN OUR LIFE. THOSE THINGS WE COME TO KNOW OR LEARN OR HELP US CHANGE INTO HIS IMAGE ARE JEWELS I WOULD THINK.

JEWELS ARE THOSE THINGS WE TREASURE AND HOLD DEAR TO US - SO WITH THAT IN MIND THAT IS WHAT THIS BLOG IS FOR - HOPE YOU LIKE - PROBABLY WILL BE DIFFERENT ALL THE TIME - WHO KNOWS?
