Paige and Sarah!

I am an equal opportunity guest blog allower. So, Paige, not to be outdone by Bailey, has requested an Ode to Sarah.

Me and Sarah are best friends even though we are cousins. Me and her like to do the same things like art, getting our nails done and singing. Even though I am in Clyde and she is in Wylie we think about each other a lot. And I am glad she is born three months before me, and if she wasn't I don't think I could make it through life without her. We have fun on holidays and we give each other cool presents, and we both like it.

I NEED YOUR HELP!!!





I am so excited. Erica has asked me to frame 2 or 3 pictures for the Centennial thing in July. I am now having trouble deciding which pictures to choose from. I want to know your opinion. All these were taken in Clyde. So, PLEASE, comment on this one.

The Greater Good-

Here is a funny story. Apparently I am getting "older". I have been finding a few grey hairs. Well Friday I happened to find 3 at one time. I was in Abilene and had no way to pull them. They were really short and because my hair was pulled back you could see them rather plainly. Monica and I were in HEB and we happened to run into Erica doing her usual Friday stuff. When she saw the hairs she immediately pulled my head over (because she is considerably shorter that I am) and right there in the produce section tried to pull out the grey hairs. Ignoring my embarrassment she tried for what felt like 10 minutes but was probably 2 minutes. In the end she couldn't get them out and luckily for me she stopped just before Doug Horner came pushing his basket up to us. For those of you who know Erica well this probably doesn't surprise you. If you have ever been unlucky enough to come into her presence with a blemish on your face you probably know what I mean. But I love her for wanting me to look my best, no matter what it takes to get there, how much pain or embarrassment is caused. I know it is all for the greater good.

Drought -

I took this picture outside my house. As you can see the ground is very dry.

So Long!

Sorry it has been so long since I posted last. So this is basically what is going on.
* Becky and I have been planning the BFW. We have been reading talks, organizing meetings and planning a few awesome surprises.
*Done some spring cleaning and rearranging which has helped the girls rooms tremendously.
*I have been taking some pictures of random things I see.
*Laundry, laundry and more laundry.
*I have been going to life group.
*Been reading John 13-15 over and over and over and over and over etc.
*Typed some incredibly long and wordy forms for Trish.
*Have had a crappy cold.
*Been lusting after dishwashers at Lowes.com
*Been going to see my friend Gym.
*Have been changing stuff in my talk.
*Thinking of creative ways to get Billy to eat more healthy.
*Had an amazing Theophostic session.
*Had a great night out with some of my girlfriends.

I have felt a little lost in all the things I have to do. I don't get to go to coffee anymore, so I feel a little disconnected there. I have missed the last 2 intercessory prayer meetings, so I feel a little disconnected there. But I feel connected with my God and with my husband. So that is good. I hope I will have some more interesting things to say soon.

I Love Jesus!


Today I have a guest blogger. I took these pictures today and when Bailey saw them she wrote this to go with them.
She titled this "I Love Jesus!"

God loves his little children all of them and did you know that God he sent his one and only son to earth so he could die but he wasn’t sending his only son to die because he was annoying. Anyways Jesus isn’t annoying and did you know that God will heal every person who is hurt who ever is injured or who ever is dead. God loves you so much. Some day you may be the nicest person someone ever met.


Bailey






When Jesus died, they put nails through his hands and feet and that is why we have a picture that shows a nail through the cross.

Hope -

Hope has been a common theme lately. It has caused me to ask some questions.

What happens when we hope and are disappointed? Do we withdraw to protect from future wounds. Do we heal and just move on. Do we become paralyzed in the fear that maybe we can't have all we have wished. Do we stop hearing that still small voice. Do we try even harder to hear it now because maybe we have missed it in the past. Or do we quit listening at all. Do we not dream again. Do we decide that dreams are exactly that, things that fill our mind in the dark of night and in the light of day are no where to be found. Do we stop feeling because it is dangerous. Do we feel too much, reading motive and intentions in everything. What happens when we hope and are disappointed. Do we stop hoping. Where are we without hope. Hope is the beginnings of faith. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen. I have decided that I would rather hope and risk it all, then live a life without it.
