Life is a journey. You begin at birth and end the whole trail at death. It’s not all roses. It can be hard, tough, ugly, and exhausting. But we were created for more then just barely making it or waiting for the other shoe to drop kind of mentality. We were made to ENJOY life. Join me as we face life one day at a time…. Seeking Him, choosing Joy in our circumstances, and holding onto Hope.

Well, Now Hand me a Paint Brush, Will Ya?!!!
Writing this week has reopened that right brained, creative thinker, artistic side of me again. Whew.... now, I want to drop all responsibilities, send the kiddos off to grandmas for like 3 days, and whip out paints and canvases and worship music and good coffee...
Or maybe get my sewing machine out and finally sew a skirt that I've had on my mind for, like, forevah.
Of course, after I wrote my Just Peachy post, then I started looking at my walls and imagining a cool gray color with my white curtains and my white framed pictures. A slight bit of hope rose up inside of me. Perhaps we can approach our landlords with the idea of painting???
This morning, I was out power walking and I saw the mist rising off of the creek. I watched a doe sprint behind someones house and a ground hog take cover as I whisked by. It was so cold out, I was afraid my legs were going to turn into popsicles. No worries though, they are well insulated.
Still, between a few entries on my old blog, a trip to the food store BY MYSELF, and a cold hard walk this morning, my brain and body are feeling alive today. I have a little extra joy and hope.
Not to mention that my house is full of life, with my own family and another sweet young couple and their baby girl. I can't help it, I love lovin on others. It's who I was created to be.
Have a wonderful weekend, y'all. And thanks for the many comments, emails, and general encouragement on my return to the blog world. You made this girl feel loved!
