Our Hope

I've seen some hard times in my life, I've known poverty and sickness, I've faced evil in many forms, I've seen too much, known too much and gone too far. I've walked the ways of sinner and the ways of a saint. I've wept at the passing of loved ones and rejoiced at the birth of babies. I've seen faithfulness and integrity lived before me and I've watched the mighty fall. I've seen faith in action and hope spread by the righteous, I've seen hipocrisy in the worst of ways. I've known sorrow and lonliness, and felt the dark tendrils of depression wrap around me and try to take the very life from me. I have not however seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread. I've never seen God turn his back on one of his children, I've never known him to refuse to help and comfort his people, he's always there for us wether we recognize him or feel him, he's there. He's an ever present help in a time of trouble a solid rock on which to stand. He's the comforter, the healer, Compassionate father, prince of peace, He's life, he's breath , he's joy, he's love, in him is hope and in him all things consist. I thank him for all of this because without him I am nothing, I have nothing I can do nothing, he is my all in all.

Summer

I Love summer! I know technically its still spring but it feels like sumer and schol"s out(YAY). I've been doing lots of gardening and yardwork, trying hard to soak up some rays. We're hoping to go camping soon and spent time in the great outdoors. Well the baby's crying so I'll have to post again soon!

Need.. Rest..

Why I wonder is it that when you're the most tired you have the most to do? And when you want quiet the most its the loudest, and when you are longing to lay down and sleep everyone is determined to keep you awake?? If anyone knows the answer to this riddle of life, better yet if anyone knows the remedy please tell me, I have got to get some rest!! Seriously, we've been working hard trying to get some land cleared for more gardening, which I love by the way. Not the land clearing, but gardening. I'm covered in poision ivy. I hate poision ivy, it eats me alive. But its good to work hard and get strong, atmittedly I'm not as strong as I used to be, 7 pregnancies took a lot of my strength, but Lord willing it will return, and mabye , hopefull I'll get a good nights rest. Night all sleep well.
