Changes

Tomorrow almost everything that I know will come to an end. Many of the things that have defined me. Over. I'm no longer a homeschooling mom. Military wife? Over.

There's not a new assignment - there's not the excitement of a new base. New friends or leaving old friends. Around the corner really hasn't even been defined. Yet. Or, more correctly...that I can see.

I would have never imagined that I would be standing in this spot so scared. Have I walked with the Lord this long and am so immature in my faith? My head says one thing...my heart says another.

But here I am. What do others do in this spot who don't have a Savior? Where do they find hope? I feel sorry for them. I feel sorry, pity and prayer for that young man last night who thinks that he must literally pay for all of the sins of his crusading ancestors...and after doing all those things still believes his only destiny is hell.

For tho a righteous man falls down seven times, he rises again. falling. again. but I can't lay there. I must get up. There's a reason I still breathe. There is purpose, destiny and future...even tho I cannot see it...I must embrace it. Even if I do it afraid.

God's Chisel

it feels like

for some reason it feels like saturday to me. weird.

new stuff at the lilypad. had fun doing this. didn't realize til later that i've already scrapped this photo. i like this version much better.



in a couple of weeks i get to hang out with these two! let's see...Shed Aquarium (which totally reminds me that I need to scrap daughter's adventure at Shed's) and the zoo - pool time...a new Ice Age comes out that week...and Strongbow's. yeah!

I have a few pieces of paperwork to finish up and then I will be able to fully embrace summer.

later.

thursday

my dd and her debate partner..or ex debate partner...seeing as debate season is over...and someone graduated.


not much going on around here. summer seems to have settled in with warmer temperatures and the storms have quieted down.

the man comes home saturday. yeah! not that he cares much but i need to start the weekly cleaning blahblahblah stuff...and...get have stuff done so he can have a relaxing weekend..father's day and all.

ta.

pffft.

i miss my husband. i don't like it when the cats wake me up very early in the morning because someone has not left any food out for them.

i do like that every day this week we have had summer storms. keeps me from having to water. yeah!

collecting bits and bobs for the graduation photos. lots to scrap.

peace.

june?

already? oy.

do you ever have one of those weekends that just turn out to be really great? even without planning it all out? yeah...

saturday we went to wendy girl's (see last layout) birthday gig. well...it's not her official gig cuz her hubby has a birthday in a few weeks - they both are turning 40 this year - but how can you not at least have a little fun on your actual 40th birthday? we played this cook off game. pile of ingredients - teams - no recipes - go!

oh my. asian theme. the tofu was very surprising! it was good! lol. and..um...well...some of those concoctions...wow. had a roaring good time.

spent some qaulity time with the babe - then he left sunday for his last official Air Force trip to Cali.

great message at church - on the end times. we'll see where that goes.

and a last minute 18 year old birthday invite. which was sitting around the kitchen table eating home made pie and just chatting about most everything. fun times.

the lilypad released their new BYOC goodness...and here ya go!



i'm going to take it easy this week. yes, get things done but at a slower pace. the future of the next few months could be hectic and i'd like to just charge up abit.

peace.

the party is officially over

all the family has gone home. now onto the next thing. that would be the hubby's retirement. the party is on the 6th of July and he officially retires the last friday of July. it should be interesting!

(eek!)
