Someone told me today..."but whatever you do, do it with grace em. everyone needs grace, everyone needs a smile when things just don't make sense, when there's no reason to smile other than the fact that God is in control and life goes on.".....
The weeks have been long and short and I wander if time moves as quickly to other people. I have been enjoying my job at Turkey Red and all the oppourtunities that have come with it. We have had two big dumps of snow so far and I see more clouds rolling in on the horizon. The search for a place for me to live continues. In God's timing.
My dear sister who is out of state for college sent me a lovely package today, i'm waiting till i get home to the warm lamplight of my room to open it and most likely shed some tears. I feel as if picking up blogging again is like therapy for me. My mama and I were talking today, as we watched our little Daisy dog romp wildly in the snow outside the library, about how the holidays are going to be very very different this year and will be spent with only four from the family.
There is a beautiful little family that comes into the resturant quite often. The mother is so attentive and extremely loving to her two boys and girl. I love their style of bulky sweaters and unique boots. I think the live on a farm just out of town. The kids are so sweet and well behaved and imaginative. They are a blessing to see come shuffling in through the door.
Situations for me are rough in life right now and I don't quite know how to write about them. I don't think I can ponder on them to long. I just know that the person I am inside and the person who is masking that are in a constant struggle against one another. The words of the Lord through Isaiah have been taped to my steering wheel and pressed on my mind.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go, I will counsel you and watch over you.
Gods words are always so full of promise. These posts help me see into the "sparkling raindrops" of my day.
Here are some photos from the fall that might add some lively color to this page......
