There are just not enough hours in my day.
I have been way too busy!
Dog -gone- those hands of time!
We have started building our new auditorium in our little country church.
Saturday we worked on the trusses~ but we have so much more to do.
Our church was chosen by Jehovah Jireh to receive a grant .
We are so excited~ little is much when God is in it!
My baby and his prom date ~ Andrea and Caleb.
He grew into a man when I wasn't looking.
Dog -gone- those hands of time!
His homeschool friends. We are entering his last year!
I remember his first day of kindergarten.
Dog -gone- those hands of time!
I have been trying to keep up the garden.
I need lots more time here....sigh.
Dog -gone- those hands of time!
My Hannah is packing up and returning back to Washington this weekend.
This was her goodbye party at church with our Pastor and his wife.
Awe~ more tears!
I am going to miss her so much~ it went way too fast.
Dog -gone- those hands of time!
Boston is playing little batters baseball this spring.
Look how big he is getting!
Dog-gone those hands of time.
My baby is just about to deliver a new grandbaby!
Just can't believe it!
I remember the day she was born ~ it was just yesterday.
Well it seems like it!
Dog-gone those hands of time!
Josilyn and Keaton are loving summer.
They are growing way too fast.
I remember when their momma was this little.
Dog-gone those hands of time.
Isaiah 30:15
For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
I have been so busy trying to keep our home picture ~ perfect for showings. Did I happen to mention that I hate selling our home? Today I was cleaning from top to bottom for a realtor walk through. It is so stressful and busy. I just want to get where I am going~ NOW.
We all live such busy lives in fast pace. There is always something demanding our attention. This modern day has us running in every direction. When we are home the grass needs mowed and the laundry needs washed and on and on that list goes. When it comes to church~ our help is always needed. Our work demands more time~ always.
Dog-gone those hands of time. It seems like the day gets away from us before we even know it and we haven't set aside time from our eventful day to rest and be quiet before God as this Scripture tells us to do.
Then when a monkey wrench is thrown into our busy routine it gets even harder. It can be selling a home, the change of a job, the death in the family~ or anything unexpected that causes us to crowd out our much needed quiet time.
My firsts response is to just get things back to normal so I can just live again. I make plans to do so ~ and then ask God to bless my best intentions as I go. I am so very good at working out things on my own~ how about you?
I am sure God wants us to us obey this verse when life is hectic~ out of our control ~and certainly not going our way.
Psalm 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Our comfort and peace of mind won't come from solving all our issues but rather in having a relationship with the God of this universe. And knowing He has it all under control.
So today I have decided to let those hands of time keep moving but I am going to take some time to just be quiet with my Lord.
