We have WAY to many clothes!

Saturday I spent probably spent three hours doing laundry, organizing clothes, putting them away and hanging them up in our walk in closet.

There were so many clothes! I was CRAMMING them into the drawers and SQUASHING them into the closet. This morning I go to put away a pair of shoes into the hanging shoe drawers.

I walk away.

BANG! CRASH! CLUNK!

Shawn BOLTS up from his sleep and yells, "WHAT WAS THAT?!"

My heart is POUNDING!

"I don't know!"

We go to the closet. Our entire rack to hang the clothes on fell OFF the WALL!

Withe the clothes still on it we attempt to hook it back to the wall....

backs straining we manage to fix it.

We have WAY to many clothes!

Maybe we should have a garage sale!

overjoyed

I am so overjoyed-

I am overwhelmed by God's plans and how they work-

I am anticipating the wonderful things God is doing-

I am overjoyed-

I am becoming aware of the NEW things that God has in store-

I am humbled by His Love-

I am overjoyed-

Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert
and streams in the wasteland.

Isaiah 43:18-19

Marvelous Monday

Today is Monday.....not Mundane Monday, but Marvelous Monday!
Today I started my first day as the Lead Teacher in the two-year-old room at TLC, the daycare where I work. It started off very positive and fun! We played a new version of Candy Land, went potty the first time we were asked, and read a book about our Dads. Then we went for a walk. We spotted a bird, the water (the river), some ducks that were sleeping, a hawk, and some road construction trucks! How we marveled at those trucks!

Now we are getting ready for lunch and nap. Its only 11:15. Lord help us to look for the marvelous things this Monday.

So Full

I can't believe sometimes the LIFE God has given me. He has given HOPE when my world seems lacking. His GRACE is more pertinent everyday. I feel Full. Full of God's GRACE and HOPE. I am FULL of HOPE in that I am HOPING for the future that is about to unfold. Hope is a wonderful thing.

But I will HOPE continually, and will praise you yet more and more! Psalm 74:14

Without Hope I feel that I am living for no reason. Such a LIE that is! God has given PURPOSE and LIFE to His Children!

'For I KNOW the plans I have for you', declares the LORD,'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a HOPE and a FUTURE!' Jeremiah 29:11

Its so humbling to realize how much the Lord LOVES me.

He CARES. He KNOWS. He LOVES. He GIVES. He REVEALS. He FORGIVES. He SAVES. He BELIEVES.

All my shortcomings can't defer God's LOVE and His Grace. Therein lies the Beauty of HIS gift.

Its not about what I do. Its about what God has done and is doing and what He is GOING to do!

Praise the LORD!
