~ Something to Think About ~
Night Sky Painting by Rebecca Fitchett "Thinking about the night as the beginning of the day reminds us that everything doesn't depend on us. We go to sleep, but God is working all through the night. So we don't have to be anxious or rushed. When we wake up, we will simply join him in his work."
Eugene H. Peterson

""We leave something incomplete everyday, whether it's an area of housework, school, work, friendship, ministry ~ because we are finite.""

~ In Other Words ~
"A family without a commitment to the God of the Bible has no hope of stemming the tide of cultural onslaught. If we mix a little biblical truth, a little secular physchology, a little romance novel idology, and a little eastern mysticism, we will get a deadly mixture of lies. Unfortunately, this is what many Christian families do . . . If we are to experience multigeneraltional faithfulness we must come to a place where we throw off the shackles of our culture and live in the fullness that is found only in Christ. We must be people who live the Word in our homes."
~By Voddie T. Baucham, Jr~

"Gentleness is part of being feminine - part of being a woman,
and God made us distinctly different from men on purpose!"
~ Melanie Chitwood ~
I'm so grateful that I am a woman.
Now to work on this lovely fruit of the spirit ~ Gentleness.

"Praying is no easy matter. It demands a relationship in which you allow someone other than yourself to enter into the very center of your person, to see there what you would rather leave in darkness, and to touch there what you would rather leave untouched. Why would you really want to do that?"

Choose your battles

where patience is due,
and continually ask God

Random Thoughts
Its been quiet around here. I've not had much to blog about though I could easily write about my books read, the projects completed, the fact that we finished our school term or various sun dried items. But I've not said anything. I am pondering simplicity for my life. I currently have about 6 active blogs and I'm beginning to not enjoy keeping so many. I know several will have to remain active so that I can leave comments for my friends. However, I'm beginning to feel the need to simplify to 2 main blogs and just be. I want to keep this one ~ which is near and dear to my heart. The only change would be to add our school entries here. Since I focus on learning for this blog its only fitting to add our school stuff here. Yes, I know that would mean giving up my beloved Excelsior Warriors url but for the sake of my sanity and less is more, it will have to go. Its been a wonderful almost 2 yrs blogging but the thrill has faded and I must move on. I'm planning to make my crafty blog my homestead/craft/daily life blog, but the more I think about it ~ I may size down to just 1 blog or website. Hmm, don't know for sure yet but I'll keep you posted.
Have an awesome weekend!

God's merciful propensity to perform divine tasks

"At the heart of the story
stands the cross of Christ
where evil did its worst
and met its match."
Aren't you grateful for all He's done? I know I am.
Lord, thank you for the cross, for the sacrifice you made for me when I knew you not. I humbly surrender all to you, my King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Thank Him for what He has done for you. Join us.

Blessings of Today
It is the first mild day of March.
Each minute sweeter than before . . .
There is a blessing in the air . . .
~ William Wordsworth ~
Today is a new day, with new possibilities for new hopes and dreams and a day of expectancy. In the midst of the wonder of its newness is the assurance of those things familiar and dear. Therefore, I am not only thankful for all the many blessings that are filling and flowing in and through my life but for the very day itself.
On this 1st of March 2007, I am thankful for:
~ friends that seek to share your life with love, encouragement, support and sarcasm when appropriate
~ spending a morning with a friend over tea/coffee at Panera’s
~ for the ability to use my hands to make lovely things
~ to worship with my whole heart, mind and soul
~ for fun online groups like knit alongs and all the new friends on them
~ remembrance of today’s importance *the day I met my dh*
~ for my Lord and Savior, you are the best part of my day
May each of you have an awesome day and remember to be thankful even for the little things in our life

"In Other Words"
"Those who read fast reap no more
advantage than a bee would by only
skimming over the surface of the flower,
instead of waiting to penetrate into it, and
extract its sweets."
~ Madame Jeanne Guyon ~
advantage than a bee would by only
skimming over the surface of the flower,
instead of waiting to penetrate into it, and
extract its sweets."
~ Madame Jeanne Guyon ~
Hmm, now that I think about it, lately I've been quite like this bee when it comes to the Word of God. Thats not good, I know but I've been so out of it that I can't seem to sit down long enough to truly "penetrate into it." I know I'm missing the meat of the Word along with the "sweetness" of what God has for me but I've been so worn down that I just haven't done it. This quote is good food for thought, makes you sit down, chew on it a bit, look at it again and chew some more, just like I need to do with the Word of God.
I need refreshment, I need to take a new look at my life and allow the Holy Spirit to blow a fresh wind over my soul and spirit. I need God more now than I've ever in my life but I've been so despondent. This quote gave me a further glimpse into how far I've move away. I've been doing what is necessary, more like just enough and I need more. I need to dive in, to take full ownership of the Word of God and allow Him to renew my mind, my heart and my soul. Life can send you such a curve ball that you get lost in the midst of the cares. I am holding on though, I've not let go and I know in whom my help comes but I need to take these words seriously and spend more time with Him. Only then will I have the peace I desire and the answers to my questions.
Father, I come before You asking for your help. Lord, I desire a closer intimacy with you. I desire to penetrate the Word, to know fully what You have stored in it for me. To be able to extract the goodness, sweetness of Your Word and apply it to my circumstances. I long to be free of this place of mere existing and want to be living again in the fulness of Your presence. Thank you for your Word, for your precious Holy Spirit, and for giving me the peace that passes all understanding. You are an awesome God, and I love you.

"We are urgent about the body; He is about
the soul. We call for present comforts; He
considers our everlasting rest. And therefore
when He sends not the very things we ask,
He hears us by sending greater than we can
ask or think."
~ Richard Cecil ~

Isn't He awesome! I am so glad He is this way.
