No Time Like the Present....

Hello out there in bloggy land! I haven't blogged in a few weeks. Life has been going on, as it always does, on a daily basis! Which is about as much as I can handle. One 24 hour chunk at a time!

Work has kept me busy and things around the home. Baking, cooking, cleaning, reading and the like...did I forget the laundry? Making the beds and feeding the dog? Yeah, life!

I had taken some pictures around town that I wanted to share, but the camera apparently had indigestion and they have *poof* disappeared! So no photos! I can tell you that the day I took them, it was gorgeous outside and I had gone for a drive and had gotten what I thought were some pretty cool pics. But, to be honest, can't really tell you now what they were! Oh well!!! Stuff like that happens, doesn't it?!?!?

I've had the opportunity in the past few weeks to confirm (again!) in my heart what I want and don't want in a future mate. Being friends first is important to me. I have had to say goodby and close a door, while experiencing God's grace in my life. And in the next moment, saying hello to something else and waiting on God yet again. I know that He has a plan for me and I trust Him to fulfill whatever He has in store. But, so far, He is not letting me in on the details!

You ever notice how often we wish God would fill us in. Kind of like asking Him to show us the bigger picture so we can plan our lives around it? But actually, what He really wants, is for us to trust Him and walk by faith. Hearing and reading His Word, talking to Him in prayer, seeking Him first and foremost. He leaves us dependent on Him rather than ourselves. I don't know about you, but my best laid plans seem to fall short, more often than not! Yet, the plans He has? Ah, so much better in the long run, if I can just rest in Him and trust Him once again!

Life is full of change. I can't say I always like change and just might be among the first to dig in my heels and fight against it. But I have also learned over time that giving up and giving in to the Father is for the best and if I can manage to let Him bring it about, it really does benefit me!

Speaking of change......spring is here! While I'm not fond of the rain (or Cady's muddy paws....my kitchen floor is in a constant state of needing mopped!), I am so excited to see the green grass sprouting up!!! YEA!!! At last!!!! I guess with the bountifulness of the April showers so far, we should have a very flower-full May!

So there you are, my belated update of sorts. Not much going on, but things are going on! Just know that God is faithful and good and in control and He wants to bless us so far beyond the measure of anything we know or have experienced! He loves us that much! And as we look towards Easter, to celebrate His resurrection and all the that means to us, may we be thankful and give Him the praise and adoration that He alone is worthy of!

May He keep you in His care and bless you always!
