A mouse lovey... really...

My Father

i found this image today.  it is always good to be reminded of the TRUTH.  our Father's promises are so rich and broad... it has been great to be reminded of His life changing TRUTHS.  in a world full of fluff, chaos and shifting sands it is nice to be reminded of the Solid Rock we can stand on.

A new app for a new year...

I have located google's blog app and downloaded it.  Blogging just got easier.  Woohoo!

the last few months have been some great months. many great milestones have happened in all of our lives and much happiness has ensued. noble stays on the move... pulling up on everything... curious about everything... hugging everything and waving to everyone. we celebrated 3 years of freedom from cancer for my dad. we celebrated the simple life changing joys that freedom brings. we ushered in deer season (2 down and the freezer is full). we gallivanted in the mountains taking in the first gulps of fresh fall air.


working and trying to take in all life's goodness has been hard and exhausting but GOD IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL. life's challenge is to not be sidetracked by the busy, chaos and forget the powerful promises and simple truths that our GOD has proclaimed.


God has been teaching me to not look back at my life what it was... or what i thought it was... and make comparissons but rather to look forward because HE is doing a NEW THING. as i celebrate and reflect my 33 years on this earth ... i am looking into my 34th year with a new perspecitive... my HOPE grounded in the Lord and sitting on the edge of my chair open to the NEW THING.

"Do not remember the former things or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:18-19
