  • signs of spring … could it be?!

    it’s been awhile since i’ve been here again, hasn’t it!
    well, i haven’t forgotten about my little corner of the web and my friends here …
    just hasn’t been much to blog about these days, but i will share a quick update …

    have to say, and i’m not complaining mind you, but winter has about worn out it’s welcome around here … still, i love the cold weather! how’s the weather where you are? 
    if any of you had a lot of that snow i would have loved to have joined you.
    seems we haven’t had that much snow here. we did get a dusting,
    along with the ice storm that worked it’s way across the country night before last, and it’s still pretty chilly …

    but, today, the sun is shining, temperatures are rising, and the icicles are melting …
    now that’s a good sign that maybe, just maybe, spring is comin’ to call!

    hasn’t been much going on around here since we stopped selling soap and coins.
    normally we would be so busy this time of year and i do miss those days!
    for now, we’re enjoying taking one day at a time,
    seeking His face daily for the strength that never fails when those struggles cross our path …
    we’re working at growing closer to the One Who is forever able!

    We’re finding that His love never fails, never gives up, and never runs out on us!
    honestly, i just don’t know how anyone could live without Him with so much going on in this world today … but, we know He reigns and is in total control of it all! there’s no place i’d rather be than in the center of His will right now! we don’t know exactly what the future holds, but we can be sure of Who holds that future!

    things with our son and his wife seem to be getting better … still they struggle.
    she is working at a local clothing store on the weekends and going to beauty school
    during the weekdays learning about hair, nails, and make-up.
    she’s really doing well, passing her tests, and enjoying it a lot!
    ian works with his dad in the flooring business, but his heart is with his new video business.
    he’s hard at work, growing it every chance he gets, and working on his own projects.
    he’s anxious to be out of the flooring business and onto what he truly loves to do.
    hubby and me … well, they know we’re here for them, prayers and all!

    looks like i need to seriously be thinking about some ‘seasonal’ changes around here,
    with spring on the way, and all. i’ll reach back into my folders and see what theme i can come up with,
    so i’ll be around doing that, and i want to do some overdue visiting, as well!
    some of you may have forgotten all about me … i sure hope not, but i hope to find some of you still here!

    now, here’s a little bit of ‘spring’ that i hope brightens your day,
    and i hope y’all have a very blessed Sunday!

    now back to a nice cup of cocoa … and the ironing! :)

     Hugs,
                 Deborah <><

    yep, just gotta have a little …

    that spring is on the way!

     

  • scripture sunday II || the unsearchable things

    “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
    and his greatness is unsearchable

    - Psalm 145:3 -

    “There is no searching of his understanding”
    - Isaiah 40:28 -

    “Great is our Lord, and of great power:
    his understanding is infinite”

    - Psalm 147:5 -

    “There is far more to be discovered concerning God and His great creation
    than all the scientists can ever hope to discover in this life.
    But those who love Him will have an eternity of time to search
    out the majestic complexities of His infinite universe, for” ….

    “eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man,
    the things which God hath prepared for them that love him”
    - I Corinthians 2:9-10 -

    … i tell you, that right there, brings a joy to my heart …
    an ‘expectant excitement’ i guess you could say!!
    like the excitement in a child’s heart on a Christmas morning
    only magnified a gazillion times,
    and all of it without an end … ever …
    can you even begin to imagine!!!
    all I can say is … WOW!!


    “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
    how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!”
    - Romans 11:33 -

    “Unsearchable Riches”
    by: Frances J. Crosby

    Oh, the unsearchable riches of Christ,
    Wealth that can never be told!
    Riches exhaustless of mercy and grace,
    Precious, more precious than gold!

    Precious, more precious,
    Wealth that can never be told!
    Oh, the unsearchable riches of Christ!
    Precious, more precious than gold.

    Oh, the unsearchable riches of Christ!
    Who shall their greatness declare?
    Jewels whose luster our lives may adorn,
    Pearls that the poorest may wear!

    Oh, the unsearchable riches of Christ!
    Freely, how freely they flow,
    Making the souls of the faithful and true
    Happy wherever they go!

    Oh, the unsearchable riches of Christ!
    Who would not gladly endure
    Trials, afflictions, and crosses on earth,
    Riches like these to secure!

    well .. this is the second in our scripture sunday challenge!
    if you’d like to join in, take a picture, add a verse, and share it on your blog,
    and please do let me know! :)
    would love to see what God has spoken to your heart this week!

    yes, i know, it looks like i’m still stuck in november around here …
    seems like time is flying by.

    i do need to take some time to make changes
    that reflect the Christmas season, now don’t i! 
    :/
    maybe i’ll start today,
    and finally get to december this coming week …

    hope yours is blessed!

  • scripture sunday

    hello to my dear xanga family!

    i will be back very soon with more of an update,
    and also for some Christmas ‘decorating’ around here,

    but for now -

    i thought i’d start something new …

    if you’d like to join in, all you need to do is …

    take a picture
    add a scripture

    and share that scripture-to-a-picture for each sunday

    hmmm, think i’ll call it …

    ‘scripture sunday’

    most of us love taking photos,
    and i enjoy adding a quote or a verse to them.

    so, for this little ‘challenge’,
    just add a scripture that would go with the theme of your image
    and share it on your blog!

    it’s a good excuse to get into the Word of God …
    and you know, when we do that, we get blessed!

    hope you’ll join me in spreading the Word
    and encouraging one another!

    have a blessed sunday in Him!!

    hugs,

  • ELECTING TO TRUST ….

    On the eve of all the unknowing,

    when sitting and looking back over everything,

    you could see it –

    Somehow all of life’s failings are a failure to somehow trust God.

    Light caught in the trees.

    The trees stood in light.

    Stood in this quiet willingness to grow into the unknown.

    And there, it comes in the stillness,

    comes like a light warming the wood and all the years —

    There is unwavering peace today…

    when an uncertain tomorrow…

    is trusted to an unchanging God.

    - Ann Voskamp -

     

quote and verse

Faith expects from God what is beyond all expectation.
- Andrew Murray -

God often comes to us,
not in dramatic and the spectacular,
but in quiet, unexpected ways ...
In a still, small voice,
a gentle whisper,
God makes known His love.

In quietness and trust
is your strength.
Isaiah 30:15

Pleasure, possessions, power, and privilege are ultimately worthless in comparison to the indescribable
joy of knowing GOD!!

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5,6

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will guide thee with mine eye.
Psalm 32:8
