Today I am very, very thankful for my church family.

Shallow?

Hi there, Saturday. Oh, and hello to anyone who might be reading this. Today is Saturday. Yesterday was Friday. I am brilliant. For months now (since this past Spring) I have been eagerly waiting for my ATT upgrade to roll around so that I can order a new cell phone. You see, in the Spring I went to Cumberland Gap. I hiked. It rained. And rained. And rained. And my phone didn't come out alive. Thankfully our family has saved all the working phones we've used since we signed up for cell service in Kentucky, and I was able to fall back on a couple old (I mean OLD) phones while waiting for the upgrade. I was really REALLY tempted to bite the bullet and just order a new phone at the best price I could find, but I got to thinking and decided that since I had a working phone (albeit from the dinosaur age) and the upgrade/renewal would give me a big discount, I could have the patience to wait 6 months for a new phone. It's been rough. I know that sounds pathetic, but in the age we live in, technology makes a big difference. I'm not saying we can't live without certain things - I'm saying that some things become a lot more easy and convenient with a little help from technology. This Thursday is the day. I have been counting down. And it's gettin' close. Happy Saturday. *********************************************************************************************************Image courtesy of markmun4 at Photobucket.com

Thankful

Today I am thankful for Fall. Especially for Fall evenings, when it just makes everything so cozy.

Giving Thanks Challenge!

I have decided to join the Giving Thanks Challenge, hosted by Leah over at the South Breeze Farm blog. No reason not to be thankful :-). Today I am thankful for a job I enjoy. I get to practice housekeeping and mommy skills while getting paid. The couple I work for is very good to me, and the little boy and I get along well.

I Cannot: God Can

My world is enclosed in a reality that God is not limited by. You see, He controls reality... He is God. He is in the business of doing the impossible. He created the world, after all! He sent His Son into the world born of a virgin. Jesus Christ rose from the dead. He heals miraculously. And yet I limit Him based on the "reality" encased in this temporal world... I have been reading Absolute Surrender by Andrew Murray. Murray talks about how we get frustrated, beating our heads against the wall because we consistently fail in our attempts to be wholly devoted and surrendered to Christ's will. Very shortly put, he points out that "...the things which are impossible with men are possible with God." (Luke 18:37) Is it in coming to the end of myself that I will find the solution?
