Welcome to my eclectic journey of blogging where my life comes forth through my relationship with Christ, books, family, crafts, music, laughter and moments of insanity.

Another Trip to Cambodia


One year later and our oldest son returns to another city in Cambodia to build Dreamers Park Playground.  You see him here in his trademark glasses and cap...that have been his trademark since high school.   Behind him in the background is the man (in orange) who organizes the trip and takes the team...he has known Kenny since Kenny was eight months old.  He also was the Pastor who married Kenny and his wife.

One year later...........last year he left behind his wife to finish her year of teaching.  Last year they were still praying the Lord would bless her womb.  Last year they were praying for a family.

One year later he leaves behind a son who is two and a pregnant wife.  WOW!!! what a year!  This year she finishes up teaching, while he builds... halfway around the world.
My First Born with the drill.   God is so faithful.

Both are ministering in the way God has called them.  My son is using the gifts God has given him to bless children who haven't had an easy life.  My daughter-in-law is ministering to their adopted son.  She and my grandson are bonding as Daddy is halfway around the world.................both are fulfilling God's calling in their lives at this time.  She chases a two-year-old, while nourishing a baby in her womb, fulfilling her calling.



We are each called to different mission fields.  Sometimes that mission field calls us to another country, but for most of us that mission field is in our own back yard.  Both are callings of God.

Tonight I pray for my son and the team in Cambodia, while also praying for my courageous daughter-in-law who is back here being faithful to her calling.  She faithfully serves her son, her students, her unborn child and keeps the house running while her husband serves for over two weeks in Cambodia.

Also praying here in the United States, for the victims of the recent tornadoes here in Texas and the even more deadly ones in Oklahoma.

Oh What A Beautiful Morning!!!

This morning I woke to sore muscles from a very long and tiring week.  My brain has been running over time as I move from one job to the next.  I have exercised every part of who I am...wife, mother, business owner, and teacher.  As I collapsed in my chair  wanting to start a "self-pity" party this song bounced in my head. I couldn't help but start to sing it to myself.

It truly is a beautiful morning!  I have taken on the thought process that I am to learn to fake it until I make it mentality.  Don't tell hubby that...he won't believe it.

Oh what a beautiful morning! Oh what a beautiful day!  I have a beautiful feeling, everything's going my way!

So if you are a little worn from wear this week I hope you listen to this song.  Besides we are breathing and for that alone it is a Beautiful Morning!!!!!!!

He Speaks through Nature - Note Card Party

I am running to the party. I just didn't want to miss this month. 
 Is there anything more refreshing, when life is busy, than time with friends and a party?  
This Note Card is to remind me that even as life transitions there still needs to be time to smell the flowers.
This little one will not stay little long....I need to find the balance.
God meets us in nature.  As Benjamin said, "where you go and there isn't anything made by man, that's nature!"
The cross that is noticed in this picture wasn't made by man...it is by nature, for those who can
see it and God met me there.
Again...He speaks through nature.  Even in the storms of life He brings beauty.  We just have to look up and see things through His eyes.
There are times to record what the Lord has made. Drawing or writing allows us to 
document His goodness and beauty.  
May I stop and take the time to do just that.

May you all enjoy what He speaks to you through nature and this spring season.
My word for the year is "transition"...I had no idea how many transitions there would be.
So my Note Cards today remind me of the past lessons, as I continue to walk this new journey of transitions.
