We had a little tea party with all of her friends bringing their baby dolls to the tea party too, it was absolutely adorable!!...but it was what happened after the party that really surprised me. And today I am thrilled to get to share it with all of you!
I love growing strawberries!! I genuinely do. I have a pretty big back yard patch of them...and love when the beginning of June comes around. There's not too much that beats a fresh, home grown, sweet strawberry picked just at the right time.
It's for sure not something I'm proud that I said, or even thought. It was the Saturday after Easter...just about a month ago and I was getting ready to head to bed.
My husband and I, we've moved... a lot. We have moved [houses, not always locations] just about every 2 years since we got married...and no, we're not in the military, lol. Approximately every other year we get to clean out our stuff...
I was sitting this morning, reading Matthew 26. Remembering the steps Jesus purposely took toward the cross. Recounting all that He said "yes" to, so that we might live...
Easter is one of my favorite times of the year! I love spring, the smell of fresh grass growing, daffodils popping up all over the hillside and birds chirping in the mornings. It's something almost magical...and it always turns my heart toward God!
In other words...love should be the motivating force in our life!...
Honor is a word we don't hear much these days. And if we do hear it, we don't see people putting it into action...
I can remember a verse the Lord gave me in the very beginning. I was so unsure of myself...unsure of my ability to teach, unsure of my ability to carry out the vision the Lord had given me, and unsure I would do justice to God's name...
I must say, while "new things" can be scary...I'm finding that obedience brings peace. Some of the things He's put on my heart are almost 2 years in the making. But, I know it's time. Time to step out. Time to fully obey. And time to trust...
