Project 365 Week 25

Week 25!

Monday, November 2
It was my friend, Tricia's, birthday.
We went to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants!
Sadly, it will be our last time to eat here because it is closing! The beach theme seems to be seasonal in Texas. They have an outdoor eating space that was really popular in warm weather, but they could not maintain solid business in the winter months!
What a bummer!

Tuesday, November 3
My favorite spot at the local mall.

Wednesday, November 4
After a solid month of rain, it is so nice to see the sun shine through these trees in my front yard!

And wonderful to see the sun shine across my front porch!

Thursday, November 5
Surprise visitors for dinner!
My son, Aaron - who would not give a real smile for the photo (being silly, not mean) and his friend, Larry. Larry has spent the night in my house several times, but I have never had the opportunity to speak to him. (I was asleep when he came and he was asleep when I left)
We had dinner together on Thursday before my pottery class.
What a pleasant surprise!

Friday, November 6
Senior Night at FMHS
Our best friends, Dan & Lori, and their senior son, Steven.
Wow!
Our last football game together...it was sort of sad and happy at the same time!

Saturday, November 7
Months ago, I began a collage that was to represent my life.
I didn't finish it at the time, but I took time this afternoon to complete it!
I love it.
I hung it in my bathroom (I know, seems odd...but I like it)
to remind myself of blessings and goals.

Sunday, November 8
This is what it looks like every week when my husband and I attend worship services at
The Village Church.
We, The Village Church, are about ready to move into our new building.
I wanted to capture one of the last weekends that we will worship here.
This building has a lot of special meaning in my life.

Hope your week was as blessed as mine!

The Unexpected

Sometimes, things just don't happen like we expect. Occasionally, the unexpected is a nice surprise, but sometimes the unexpected can turn an event, circumstance, or even a life, upside down. Last week, my daughter and I went to spend Spring Break with family. Our flight was lovely, the weather perfect, and we were looking forward to a stress free week. The first thing we did was eat lunch at one of our favorite Thai restaurants. As usual, we looked forward to our fortune cookies. We took turns reading and laughing...and then my daughter opened hers - "Be prepared for a change in plans." Uh-oh. We didn't like this one but we decided our week would be stress free and fun in spite of what a cookie said. Continuing on through out the day, all was well until that night. I sat outside on the porch of a friend I have known for 35 years and received news that changed something I have believed for 30 years. The words were horrible and made me so ill that I got sick within min...

ABC's of the Word - Y

It's Thursday! I love Thursdays because I take special time to ponder and pray about the verses in God's word that have meant a lot to me as I walk with Him. I was excited to get to "Y" because of of my very favorite scriptures begins with "Y", using the word "Your" as we talk to God about how wonderful His love is. This particular scripture is one that I go to whenever I feel that I have wondered away from Him and it is a song (by Third Day) that I sing when I want to praise Him for how deep, how wide, how big His love really is! More than I can imagine! Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast. How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 36:5-7 (NIV) For more ABC's of the Word visit Grey Like Snuffie

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...
