FOR TODAY: October 21, 2008

Outside my window… Thunder banging since early this morning…I guess around 7AM!  Finally, at 1PM the rain poured down and I was sad that I hadn’t taken a picture of the Cannis outside my window. Especially since it did work so hard after Fall began (even without the forecasted snow last week) to sprout up through the ground and make it’s beautiful flower.

I am thinking…~What an amazing God we have that knows the thoughts and intents of our heart…even when we can’t even figure ourselves out?

I am thankful…that He does! ~ I’m also thankful that my hubby has really been helping with the budget..well helping me stick to our food envelope for the month!

From the Kitchen… I am making a list to go grocery shopping ….and really wishing Amanda and I could go together

I am wearing… A comfy dress, barefoot & very, very sleepy since I was unable to sleep AT ALL last night…I was up on the couch when hubby got up and he freaked out…to say the least

I am creating… Little piles everywhere….and I hate that…I really need to QUIT! grrr

I am going… to need so focus harder on getting stuff done this weekincluding picking up all my piles and getting everything put where it belongs..even if it ends up being the trash….HAHAHA

I am reading…Bad Girls of the Bible/Love Dare and in Isaiah.

I am believing… God for miracles in my life and trying hard to let Him decide what those miracles should be.

I am hearing… quiet…well except for my fingers on the keys…hehe

Around the house…I have things to do this week: laundry, filing, bills, dishes…thankful I already vaccuumed did some laundry and cleaned up the bathroom, livingroom, bedroom, and music room!

One of my favorite things… Having time to sit and think…enjoying God, enjoying life!

A few plans for the Rest of the Week: Let go and Let GOD!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing:

.

Just like my statement above…Let Go and Let God…  These Cannis must do just that!  They must depend on God as their source and understand that whatever God decides is what they need at the time..is what they shall receive.  I long to have faith like that.  In the first picture I made sure I showed not only the flowers that are blooming today but also the ones that were blooming a few weeks ago, that are now dead.  I thought the other day, some of the plants that bloomed were part of the stalk that was planted to begin with a long bulb that I had to make sure didn’t lean and fall over.  I made sure it was rooted properly, but these Cannis that are budding now aren’t from the original bulb they grew all the way from under the ground.  I believe that is what is making them so strong and able to still be blooming in the latter part of October.  When we live through adversity it can make us very strong, but if all we do is complain all the time and get mad at God for not allowing us to have it our way.  Later on when we need to be strong we find we are still weak and need milk instead of the meat God had planned for us.

I hope this wasn’t to much of a ramble….It sure helped me sort some things out….blessings in HIM!

A few plans for the Rest of the Week: Stop procrastinating and go to Curves.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing:

This picture was taken today outside our front window. At the beginning of August Pastor Shawn came to our house with some Cannis bulbs from his yard and started digging.  He told me he had some that needed replanting because these plants have a bad habit of growing in excess with just a few planted.  He let me know that since he was replanting them late that there was a very slight chance that they would really grow much or bloom.  WHOOOOWEEE Look at them grow…  I’m not sure if maybe they didn’t get the memo that it was late in the season or what?  More than just these two have actually bloomed and another was about to open maybe tomorrow.  We had quite a bit of rain last month right after they were planted and I think that really helped them get some good roots.  He planted 7 to begin with, I believe and now there are about 18 and only one died   I thought that was pretty fantastic.  He transplanted some for 2 other people last year and they died immediately but grew up this spring which is why he said dont’ be surprized if they all die.  I asked him if I needed to do anything to them and he said no I have never watered mine on a consistent basis just whatever they get naturally they will grow like crazy.  BUT, I actually watered them every day for about the first 4 days and I haven’t watered them since. I am very excited to have them.  It’s quite a miracle to me they way things grow and I have never had anything that I actually grew myself.  I know they were transplanted but it’s still amazing none the less.

Thanks for sharing your time with me, I enjoy sharing and letting you know what is going on here in little Hobbs, NM.

A few plans for the Rest of the Week: Doing some laundry and anything and everything on my to do list!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing:

This picture was taken yesterday while we were on our way to Las Cruces, NM.  I know it’s not the best pic but I wish I could show you what I actually saw.  This pic of the Guadalupe Mountains which is in Texas between Carlsbad, NM and El Paso, TX caught my eye like never before.  My husband and I have been through these mountains at least 25 times in the past 3+ years and I have NEVER seen this figure I saw on Sunday.  To me it looks like the face of a child, a little girl… as I said we have been though this area so many times and have never noticed or seen it look so vividly like an image.  One thing that has brought to my mind is concerning the bible; so many times I have looked though the scriptures and not heard or noticed anything that opened my eyes which I think is sad considering the word of God is LIFE!  As we traveled down the road on Sunday I remember telling my hubby wow, look at the clouds aren’t they amazing!  I love to look at them and in some places it was stormy looking and I even said out loud I wonder what it’s like up in that cloud.  I mention that to say this, my mind was totally “fixed” on nature what was going on outside and everywhere I looked I noticed something I hadn’t noticed before. I believe that is why I saw an image on the mountain; which I will look for next time we pass that way   So as for the bible I plan on purposing  to notice each and every part so that God can show me whatever image He has for my life in that moment.  Ask God what He wants to show you today!
