A dear friend of mine that I helped pour spiritual blessings into (as she also poured into me) has gotten engaged.
It makes me reminisce of that season of my life.
I love Fall, it really is my favorite season. The beauty that comes with the death of life (leaves, flowers). I recently started a new devotion, and surprisingly enough, it discussed how we should enjoy the season of life we are currently in. And remember to savor the thoughts of the seasons of life we have moved on from.
I just had a baby (6 months ago is still new for me). I remember when she was a newborn and thinking, "I can't wait until you don't sleep all the time and I can play with you more". Looking back at that time, it's a season of life I will never get back with her. And I almost feel guilty for wishing the season to have changed so abruptly. Especially since now, it feels like she will soon be on her way to the teenage years at the rate she's growing and maturing; and I wish for that season back.
So, my advice, to myself and to anyone else who takes the time to read this: Enjoy your current season. Good and bad. For their will never be another <i>quite</i> like your current one...life's treasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09159536708005262179noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839353616514594173.post-53339324819602393672012-09-04T18:46:00.001-07:002012-09-04T18:46:31.212-07:00Over in that blue 'yonder...Been a while...
At church, we do these things called "SOAP". You read a chapter a day from different parts of the Bible and journal about it.
The other day was Deut. 3. The infamous, "Moses, you blew it" spill.
Moses basically pleads with the Lord to let him be in the Promised Land. The Lord shuts him down quickly, making him look at the land that he will never get to step foot in. To me, at first, it seems pretty harsh. I know Moses disobeyed with the water from the rock, however; it seems unfair to have someone lead a bunch of complainers around for 40 years and not be rewarded for his hard work.
But then, you think about it. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to enforce the rules within my classroom. The students have to obey, or there is a consequence. It's not to be harsh, it's just because that's the way life is. Since God is obviously a God who DESERVES and loves our decision to obey Him, He had to give Moses a consequence. A really harsh consequence. And thus, Moses gets to see what he can never experience for himself.

I'm 2 weeks late, just not normal. But I feel fine"<br />.........................................................................<br />And thus I wait. <br />And be peaceful and patient. <br />Two things that Jesus is probably laughing about because He knows these are NOT my strong qualities. <br />I am a compassionate person who VERY much likes to have control. I have no control of this, no knowledge of an outcome...not knowing what could possibly happen if "aunt ...

But if I find it again, I'll let you know!* <br />Start with an old frame, I purchased this one at a thrift store. <br /><br />Then, take out the picture. All you need is the frame. Then spray paint the frame with any color you want. <br />I bought some wire from Wal-Mart and staple gunned it to the back. (With the help of my hubby..) <br /><br />In the original post, that I cannot find, she spray painted clothespins and attached magnets to the back. I cut out pictures from magazines and attached to magnets. <br /><br />Here are the finished products. :) One for Clara Mae, and one for Rach. :) <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTZUDIm0lx993T_s3_7X_bwW-wSvWRDR7rWa8J0sCTK5h2bZv6u8It_ss1LGk78JSY2SenX9cCmvnhT0GZ-520KfqT_fEDcVGDGnrT0RU2_zlxsfXC-odeEkECwhe442LdnLk5AnMX1iFx/s1600/120.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTZUDIm0lx993T_s3_7X_bwW-wSvWRDR7rWa8J0sCTK5h2bZv6u8It_ss1LGk78JSY2SenX9cCmvnhT0GZ-520KfqT_fEDcVGDGnrT0RU2_zlxsfXC-odeEkECwhe442LdnLk5AnMX1iFx/s320/120.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620794365005448786" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy-FZXNnjR_K7QEyRpOZa3OfpVIjBQNt126XyICYna1_bswaGAGHiBWQYwnP1lWz7rPcq8ODFB1Idp3DRhCvHakowI6K20NAICzyxQEqqPFXHJmsPcj1AOVouYBRnRBO1vXBPiT75VpSop/s1600/119.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy-FZXNnjR_K7QEyRpOZa3OfpVIjBQNt126XyICYna1_bswaGAGHiBWQYwnP1lWz7rPcq8ODFB1Idp3DRhCvHakowI6K20NAICzyxQEqqPFXHJmsPcj1AOVouYBRnRBO1vXBPiT75VpSop/s320/119.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620794360724652498" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2UFDwyxkynM7ekjF-0eVXs-zHdDD4hDfbl-bEfkEZddwarL16k7WJ5MTyKNtnVpDPjrFlC1uTi9nzYhDVoVA1nEGeJPPDgyeN8ZrM1VZf8OOcEtW1fV0rE21E0alJW2MJIOI7WyTL4PQ3/s1600/117.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2UFDwyxkynM7ekjF-0eVXs-zHdDD4hDfbl-bEfkEZddwarL16k7WJ5MTyKNtnVpDPjrFlC1uTi9nzYhDVoVA1nEGeJPPDgyeN8ZrM1VZf8OOcEtW1fV0rE21E0alJW2MJIOI7WyTL4PQ3/s320/117.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620794355747377138" /></a>life's treasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09159536708005262179noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839353616514594173.post-574081968674993832011-06-18T09:51:00.000-07:002011-06-18T10:00:00.567-07:00JamsI love great music. <br />This song "If I die Young"- by The Band Perry= amazing. <br />There are really different interpretations to this song, but one phrase I LOVE is this one:<br />..."A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell them for a dollar<br />They're worth so much more after I'm a goner<br />And maybe when you'll hear the words I been singin<br />Funny when you're dead, how people start listenin.."<br /><br />How true is this? We always seem to remember the words and actions by loved ones more after they are gone than when we had the opportunity on Earth. <br />That's it. Go look up the song and tell me what you think it talks about.. :) Either way, it's lyrically great, and pleasing to the ears.life's treasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09159536708005262179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839353616514594173.post-11131797948997677382011-06-15T22:18:00.000-07:002011-06-15T22:21:51.964-07:00Come what may...Lately I have been a sewing/crafting machine. <br />No lie. <br />I LOVE crafty things.

It's by Perry Stone, Purging your House, Pruning your Family Tree. <br /><br />Basically talks about how you need to cleanse your house and your body of things that bring spiritual warfare into your home. It's SO good. I can't just pick out one part to discuss. However; it had me thinking and had me convicted of some things. <br /><br />I will be holding a bonfire here very soon. A bonfire? Yes, a bonfire. Not the good feel kind with s'mores; but a breaking free kind of bonfire. In the book, Stone discusses breaking free of things that have had or currently have a hold on your life. These things can include memories that bring up the past that you have asked forgiveness for already. It is like there is a spiritual hold linking these items to your mind. After seriously thinking this through, I completely agree with him. When I am struggling with things from the past, the main things that I think about are how easily accessible some items are if I wanted to refer to them again. Some things I could just sell, or throw out. But I feel a serious conviction on not allowing that to hinder someone else; so I will watch them burn. And as I watch these items burn, I will relinquish all of my bad memories to them, and remember that God said I am forgiven...<br /><br />Does this mean that the memories will be long lost and forgotten? Probably not; but at least I will find security in the fact that a spiritual hold will no longer connect me with those items that allowed me to find comfort in the enemy.life's treasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09159536708005262179noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839353616514594173.post-73351032047146172312011-05-30T12:08:00.000-07:002011-05-30T12:18:02.988-07:00Walk it out..#28 feelings that don't go away: The anxiousness to exercise after certain meals.<br />...I have recently gotten into the habit of exercising at least 6 times a week. There are a few people I enjoy walking with. However; during walks sometimes, I feel myself becoming very selfish. "We're not walking fast enough, we're not walking long enough..". This being said: I voiced this to a good friend, (Sweetwater Creek) and she had some very wise words spoken into me about my self-centered thoughts. We cannot choose our needs above spending time with others. Others are here for us, and they will be involved in our lives if we choose to focus on them, as they focus on us. I should not go into exercise with a down cast heart if I am with someone who is "not up to my speed". I should go into it with the attitude of joyfulness because I have someone to share my life with for a little bit that day. Love my walking time with each person I have (and will) experience it with.life's treasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09159536708005262179noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839353616514594173.post-37578625562382242892011-05-28T20:20:00.000-07:002011-05-28T20:27:22.588-07:00Seeing the bestGraduation happened for our seniors at school this past Friday. AWESOME speaker. Seriously amazing. She was so full of wisdom and promise for the future. She even stated that she wasn't sure exactly what her speaker said at her graduation, so she was going to try and make this more memorable for the Seniors. Main thing that stuck out to me from her were two things: <br />1.) The gravesides are full of unfulfilled dreams. Do not let your hoping and dreaming deter you from your ultimate goal in life. Do not wait for another, better day. For that day may not come. <br />2.) Failure is inevitable. As hard as you try in life for things to be the way you want them, failure will always come. It's a way of allowing yourself to grow stronger in the daily tasks set before you. People in your life may say they have not failed, they are being dishonest to themselves and you. <br />I literally walked away being inspired by this woman. Her words had so much life and enthusiasm in them; they had power.life's treasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09159536708005262179noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839353616514594173.post-2604966154197441792011-05-25T18:29:00.000-07:002011-05-25T18:39:52.889-07:00blue ribbonPeople are rocks in my life. Seriously. <br />I LOVE how people can make me want to be a better person. People amaze me with their zeal for living. Their excitement to live how God wants them to. This = how I need to be a better me. I thrive on others' passion. Makes me want passion like that for something in my life. So..my passion is....? God. Hubby. Simplicity. True friends. Hard to balance sometimes, but I love how God knows this. And He puts people in my life to come along and remind me.life's treasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09159536708005262179noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839353616514594173.post-79036457564571469102011-05-20T21:08:00.000-07:002011-05-20T21:16:46.150-07:00Driver's seat...Uplifting and encouraging words are great. <br />Except when you see those same uplifting and encouraging words elsewhere. <br />I have such a hard time accepting and especially believing those words that are supposed to make me feel better. I then have an even harder time when I hear those same words spoken to another. In my mind, it devalues what was said to me. I'm sure that's not true, it's just my brain over analyzing AGAIN. <br />So irritating not to be able to completely control your thoughts. I feel powerless. I know that only God is to be in control, but the fleshly part of me says that I can do it better. Sad thought, but true. If I can control my life, then only I will be responsible for when I get disappointed. That way, if something goes "wrong", I won't be a tiny bit upset at God. That's my thinking... and it needs to change.

If you want to know more, it is Philip Yancey..amazing!!<br />"I realize my image of God..determines my honesty in prayer. Foolishly, I hide myself in fear that God will be displeased, thought in fact the hiding may be what displeases God most. From my side, the wall seems like self-protection; from God's side it looks like lack of trust"<br />I'm sorry, but that's an amazing thought! How many of us do that in our lives, honestly? I am ashamed everytime I go to Him in prayer, but I mistake my shame for what God sees as a humbling act. I believe that is what has been my stumbling block for prayer in the past. Why do we find a sense to hide when God already knows? I hope for whoever may read this, to go and find your spot of humbling yourself...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Love in a Box</span><br />Within the past 2 weeks, I have discovered not very encouraging news.<br />A couple that has been married for 3-4 years are filing for divorce. The wife left him...they are both very fervent Christian believers.<br />A couple that has been married for 4 years are getting a divorce also. They choose not to do counseling.<br />Problem: I already have a hard time of the concept "forever". So...when I hear of the *4 year* range of not being able to possibly make it until forever, it is very discouraging. Chad and I celebrated our 1 year yesterday, and it went by so fast. I really want this to be a completely God centered relationship, in the hopes that we will be forever on this Earth. But what about couple 1 that also had the same hopes? In the back of my mind I know Chad will have to eventually get tired of me...when that happens, does love just disipate?<br />Come on people! How do you just stop loving? Not just with spouses: friends too. Harden my heart to love, if loving in the end, will only hurt. God loves us ETERNALLY, but when love is failing around you, it is so hard to grasp the concept.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Letting Go</span><br />I’ve realized something:<br />I will always be alone in life if I choose to be.<br />I will battle with loving myself DAILY, even hourly.<br />Maybe I got married too soon for not loving myself.<br />I am better than being the failure I tell myself I am.<br /> *This being said. There are things in my life I wish were different, wish never happend. I will be hurtful to myself if I continue my thoughts. As I struggle with doing things I never thought I would do again, I can only stay strong in the fact that I am a creation of God, and I will stand firm in my faith. I cannot stand the fact of living with thoughts that CONSUME me, and pull me into self-loathing. I WILL be better than that, I have to be. If not, what was I created for in this world? To succumb to the world’s standard of things? No, I want to be unique, and show that I have meaning...I am a light, firstly for myself. Secondly, to make my Father proud of what I have become.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Light Load</span><br />"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ". *Galatians 6:2<br />Why do we always have the "I can take on the world" attitude? It's not up to us to independantly carry our load, yet we tend to make that part of the daily routine. Our human nature tends to embody our spirituality, which in a way makes us chauvinistic the majority of the time. The world is filled with our tears, and yet we can't fully humble ourselves to one another. I want to be humble before God and man. So start talking to each other people! It's the merciful insights directed by Jesus.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Faithful Deaths</span><br />I went the other day to visit my Grannie's grave. Why is it that when someone dies, we somehow feel closer to them by visiting their gravesite? Because technically, it's just a scenic view with a stone on it. Because they aren't there anymore. It's just a body eroding. It almost just makes this sense of comfort fall over us...almost like we're in there prescence again..but then not really. And it's weird that we feel that way, because in all truth, there spirit is with us no matter where we go. But it's like people, and sometimes Christians, it's our human nature to want to reach out for something that is physical..that we can see...so we can really believe. And that's where our faith comes in, we know we're not alone. With past loved ones and with our Savior. People visiting gravesites is just proof of how we need to see the physical in order to make us feel closer to their spirit...when we shouldn't need the gravesite at all.life's treasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09159536708005262179noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839353616514594173.post-76775544844257908022011-05-05T20:03:00.000-07:002011-05-05T20:15:40.184-07:00Awesomeness...Mom came with my baby and ate with me at school today. <br />There is a student who has mild autism.

Another student switches cookies with her. <br /><br />My mom cries. <br /><br />I think about it, and it really is a special moment to see the kindness of a child's heart. To see maturity in a 6th grader is incredible. I love it. Transformation- makes up for the hard days...<br /><br />Also- awesome coffee date with Ethel and CC. Again: Transformation.

Of course! <br />Go through this whole frenzy of getting as many items together as I can so that I can take it before the truck delivers to the victims. I make hubby stop what he is doing to completely be in chaos with me. Emptying out grocery cupboards and closets. All for the feeling of enjoyment that comes with giving back...<br /><br />Reality. <br />This excitement and new experience I feel for just cleaning out my closets and doing something good for others. <br />That's the way my life needs to be. I need to "clean out my closet" of life. Spiritually, emotionally, whole heartily. What is in my life that is weighing me down, and keeping me from being completely free of my extra items of life? I need to be ecstatic for sanctifying things in my life; but instead, I waver and just try and cling to it. This does me no good. I need to be full of Christ, and less of the negative and materialistic things I allow to take up space. <br /><br />I will earnestly try to keep my "closet" holy.life's treasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09159536708005262179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839353616514594173.post-88118534205156918532011-04-16T18:44:00.000-07:002011-04-16T18:53:27.326-07:00Sweet Heaven..Had a date night with hubby tonight.

Or make you feel full. <br />Why does life always feel like a roller coaster? Is it the way God intended, truly? Trials are supposed to bring patience, forgiveness, strength. It also brings pain, loneliness, disappointment. Not fair life, not fair. <br /><br />As a Christian, it is very hard to always be on the "up" side of the roller coaster on the outside. Inside battles are disheartening to others, no one wants to hear them. They truly don't. I'm not a complainer. So until things get figured out, this roller coaster will stay fun, and pretend fun...life's treasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09159536708005262179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839353616514594173.post-42306651013632941252010-05-02T19:49:00.001-07:002010-05-02T20:12:10.649-07:00Leaving a life of sin..Went to eat with friends over a week ago, and learned some disturbing news. Jennifer Knapp (whom I loved and adored her music growing up)has officially come out of the closet. <br />When I first hear this... of course it is shocking. More than that, I have a curiosity to go and watch the interview (which is on Larry King). <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnOJnHjgkI0&annotation_id=annotation_258488&feature=iv<br /><br />As I watch this: It continually breaks my heart. Honest to goodness breaks my heart. <br /><br />I want her to continue to succeed as an artist; yet I also don't want her to continue justifying her sin. (Which is what she continues to do). Yes, we all sin. We are human. The only thing is, I do not justify certain things that are clearly stated in the Bible. I think it is very brave of her to go and admit her sexuality to the world; especially knowing that ridicule would follow. I applaud her courageousness. Leads me to: <br />-- Can you really hear from God while living in the sin that you blatantly choose to ignore in the Bible? How can God (honestly) look down and be proud of you for not choosing to enjoy the union that He has set apart for you? <br /><br />She states in the interview she has spiritual advisers. Pray for those spiritual advisers. Do they really hear from God? <br /><br />I consider myself to be a liberal Christian. I am for the gay marriages of homosexual couples. It is considered wrong, I get that. Who am I to judge what people do with their lives? I cannot. But I do have a problem with claiming Christianity when you are in fact not living the way that Jesus portrays Christianity in the Bible. <br /><br />On another note, who in the world is Ted Haggard? Do not get some fool to interview concerning these things. No offense to the guy, but when asked a direct question, you must answer it directly. "Do you think it is a sin to be homosexual?" If it takes more than a one-word answer, you have just decided to justify your beliefs also. <br /><br />As a Christian, and an appreciation for the artist, I am not one to condemn Jennifer Knapp. I do not agree with her choices, and I definitely do not agree with her decision to be a gay Christ follower. However; I will not be a Christian that seeks out negative comments to say to her. I will pray for her; and I will pray for the people who disagree. We need to love her, not bash her decisions. Our culture today is setting the standards lower and lower of what is to be accepted within the church walls. That also, breaks my heart....life's treasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09159536708005262179noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839353616514594173.post-77591858343017145482010-03-03T20:05:00.000-08:002010-03-03T20:13:31.816-08:00In hiding..So~why is it that secrets really could eat at your life? At your soul.... and outlook on the world? In chapel today, the speaker talked about secrets. It's interesting when you really think about it...and think about the way you used to view life...as opposed to being an adult and the way it's viewed. As far as past failures/lies/misconceptions about myself; the future has been pretty positive thus far. <br />................And then thinking really starts to sink in. <br />Thinking about the past just really is depressing. I understand (and have heard), "The past has prepared you for where you are now in life"... I get it. But really, sometimes things seem to come around again full circle...whether in thought or action. And that sucks..<br /><br />This blog is dedicated to Fisch..... <br />Guess I'll start being able to comment... :)life's treasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09159536708005262179noreply@blogger.com0
