SO the other night I was laying in bed reading a book and random thoughts began to invade my reading ability...beautiful, sentimental, and poetic thoughts... I quickly went for my doodle book to write them down...but I must have missed my moment because the words that hit the pages are far from poetic and beautiful as they sounded in my head! ;-)
I suppose that's a little of how life can be sometimes...In your mind you know what you need to do...what you want to sound or look like...how you would hope you are coming across...and what you want ppl to think of you...but in reality....some how it often hits the surface with a resounding thud! Oh my, this is sounding rather depressing...
The last several months have been blessedly busy...I found a new outlet for my hobby job signs! It is a profitable one as far as i can tell at the moment...So I have been pumping them out...plus somebody else recently came to me with interest in putting them into their hardware store to beautify the kitchen displays they carry and also to sell from those displays! I hope it works for them as that would be a new outlet also! So it seems to be picking up somewhat...Right now i have several projects pending which i need to wrap up in the next week or two...
In a few weeks there will little red berries to pluck off of the plants...! :-) back ache's approaching! :-) I am actually looking forward to spending the time outside again. The flowers, the pinks, the reds, whites, yellows, and purples are popping everywhere and the grass went from brown to green in a matter of days and the gardens everywhere are starting to have short green seedings sticking out of the ground and the pine tree pollen is making everything yellow again as the temps have been in the 80's the last week just in time for Easter. Some how it always seems to be the most beautiful time of year around Easter here...It make the rest of the year more bearable somehow knowing that when spring rolls around again we will have this beauty to behold again!
Haiti has been on my mind some these days also...Ryan and Kendra are planning to come home this summer in time for Gwynndon and Nellie's wedding...So I purchased tickets to fly down there for a little over a week in April...Just so my passport come home in time...I sent it off to get renewed...Expidited...with 5 weeks till i travel....So I'm kinda praying and trying not to fret over that too much! :-)
Tomorrow my years of being on this earth hit a new number....it's a scary thought knowing that next year I will no longer be in the company of the 20 something's...What have I done to honor the Lord in the last 28 years and what can I do for Him in the next 50+? Sometimes it feel like my life is so full already the I wonder if He is truly honored by what I am doing? I hope those I rub shoulders with can see Him shining out...and I pray I am being a good example to those younger siblings and friends at youth who used to be my students...It's such a privilege to see some of my student's becoming young men and women for the Lord! One of then shared a well done topic on Jury Duty last night at church....2 of the girls who go to my church are dating fine young men, one of those girls is possibly going into some VS work for a little while.... :-) Somehow those who were my students in 4th-6th grade are suddenly my peers and friends i enjoy visiting with and picking on! :-)
