I Am Not Always Right

Well, it has been nearly one year since I posted to this blog. I have given thought to giving it up, but I enjoyed posting these blog posts in the past and whether anyone reads them or not, I find the process of putting my life experiences to written word is somewhat therapeutic.

Currently, summer is in full swing.  Rebecca has completed her freshman year of college.  She did beautifully and we are very proud of her. She moved out if the dorm in the below post and moved into a different dorm room with a sorority sister in January.  I was so hesitant for her to join the sorority but I believe it has been one of the best things she has been a part of.  She is making great friends and learning much about relationships. 

Aaron enlisted in the USAF a couple of months ago and will leave for Basic Training in November.  When he first talked of doing this more than two years ago, I wasn't convinced.  But, again, I think I have been wrong and most likely, it will be one of the best things he has done. 

Adam and his wife purchased their first home several months ago and guess what?  I was not one hundred percent on board at first but they are very happy there and I absolutely love their home!  It has been a real joy to see them newly-wed and enjoying all the new things they are experiencing together.

If you really read any of the above narrative, you may have noticed a theme.  I have noticed it too and have had to work at coming to terms with that I am not always right!  Go figure! This is a lesson God has has to teach me over and over again.  I don't find this is an easy lesson but what I do whole-heartedly believe is that God is smarter than me and much more capable of taking care of my "kids" then I am. Same goes for myself, my husband, and everyone else for that matter. 

So, things are going well and I am letting God take care of things.  He has done a good job so far and I think I will keep trusting Him.  After all, I am not always right, but He is!

I Got A Feeling....

that this is gonna be a good, good year!!!!!! I have great expectations! And I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I do like goals. And prayers. I know God will answer prayers, and there are a few that I look forward to seeing the answer to, hopefully in 2010. It would be great if love and peace and forgiveness would win out in a few broken relationships. I am still praying. And I am look forward to how my marriage will become more wonderful, as it does every year! My health should improve since I am training for a triathlon. I lost 23 pounds in 2009. I look forward to losing about 15 to 20 more. Completing the Caveman triathlon with a couple of my very good friends is a goal that I am excited to achieve! It is going to be fun to see what God is going to do because I said "yes" to Him and stepped up into Home Group leadership with my church. And my church.... I have to say I am amazed and thrilled to love my church! What a blessing after so many years of being a s...

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...
