Hiding Place

So most of my friends I know, as well as myself, are all going through some pretty tough trials right now. Something is stirring around in our lives, and things are going wrong. Finances, relationships, maybe illnesses and even deaths. I am remembering the lesson that Rachel gave us on the women's retreat. It was about "resting" in Christ. When we strive to do things on our own, we are not trusting God to take over our lives. He wants us to rest in Him...let Him be our Hiding Place. This song is so beautiful and reminds me that Jesus is my hiding place when everything seems to be going wrong. God is so awesome! He is my rock and my Abba Father...my hiding place.

Think you are having a bad day?

Just for a laugh!!

I love this and thought it was so funny! It is so tempting to get stickers like this for my car...but I won't, don't worry mom.

Fun Survey

I am copying my friend Rachel's little survey that she did and answering them for myself. I thought this was fun! Thanks Rach!

A song/band/type of music you'd risk wreck
& injury to turn off when it comes on the radio? Probably Kid Rock or Rap. Seriously, rappers have no talent. Have you heard the song where all they say is "Red light green light..red light green light" with a beat to it? Ugh! Oh yeah, I just remembered that I can't stand Fergie either.


Best show on television? This is hard....I am really into "reality" shows. The dancing shows are pretty fun, they make me want to drag Josh to a dancing class!


Favorite movie? Princess Bride is my all time fav. But I like tons of others. Romantic comedies are great!


Favorite room in your house? Well...if I had a house, it would probably be every room...because I would have a house


If you could have anything put on a t-shirt what would it be? I was thinking about this one, (And Rach, I have no idea what you were thinking!) But could it be something literally on your t-shirt like Orlando Bloom giving me a hug? That would mean he was on my t-shirt right? Uhhh...next question


The best part about being your age? The fact that nobody I meet believes that I am my age. They think I am wayyy younger. It gets kinda annoying sometimes when they think I had kids when I was 16 though.


Favorite Girl Scout cookie? Thin Mints all the way!!


Poker or gin or bridge? I have no clue how to play any of these


Shower or bath? Depends on my mood. If I want to get ready quick, then shower. If I have nowhere to go (and Josh can watch the kids) I love taking hot baths.


Favorite pajamas? I always see cute pj's in stores, and buy them, but then I end up wearing a t-shirt to bed.


Nightmare job? Waiting tables. I HATE it! I cannot do this job to save my life.


A talent you wish you had? uhhhhh.....I am gonna have to come back to this


Dream vacation? Take Josh to Europe with me and see everything!


What's on your nightstand? I don't have a night stand. We have a rocking chair though, and it has clothes all over it.


Tell us 3 weird things about you:
1. I spontaneously dance in the kitchen while I am cooking
2. When I run my fingers through my hair, if a strand comes out, I ALWAYS wrap it around my fingers in a figure 8 and then break it in the middle (I don't know why)
3. I can make my tongue look like a clover


The talent thing has me stumped. Seriously. I would like to be more active outdoors like I used to be, but is that a talent? Hmmmmm

I saw this and it made my day. Just makes you laugh at Christians being nit-picky about little things!

Oh my goodness

So, some of you know (because I won't stop talking about it) that I want a Wheaten terrier so BAD!!! Well, I found this adorable video of a wheaten that is stuck under a stool. It is a short video, but it shows how stinking cute these dogs are! I love it so much!

Inside out and backwards

I just wanted to post a quick little thing about my Ethan. Yesterday I wanted to post it, but I didn't have time, so I am doing it today. He always comes out of his room with something else on that he decided to put on himself. Like different pants or shorts. A lot of the time he comes out just stark naked. That's how he rolls. Well, yesterday he did it again, and usually he gets the article of clothing on the right way. But this time he came out with a shirt on that was inside out and backwards. He was so proud that he put it on. I laughed at him and said, "honey, that is inside out and backwards!" He looked at me without a hint of worry and said "no not. It's right." I sat back and watched him proceed to play with his toys. Sometimes we think things are all wrong in our lives. They seem not at all what they are "supposed" to be. If we could just have that attitude that it is all okay, and then go on with our daily activities without a care in the world, we might not be so uptight. Well, at least I can speak for myself. Just let God deal with the wrong things in our lives. He wants us to be joyful of what we have and what He has given us. I love how Ethan gave me this little lesson yesterday. Just don't worry mom...it's right.
