Hi There


I haven't been able to tap into my blogger friends sites and this is my second attempt to create an entry. I'm up in the mountains and using a cell phone's internet connection. I miss yall! Skiing is beautiful in these God-made gorgeous mountains. I'm here with my first (only) husband, and children ages 15, 13, 12 and 9. I completed a 4 hour continuing education course. I've been cooking dinner every night and it has been fun. I've been reading my Bible Study notes, "When God weeps," by Joni Eareckson Tada, re-reading parts of Blackaby's "Experiencing God," Oswald Chambers "My Utmost for His Highest," and writing in my journal. Oh yeah, going to bed early and sleeping in late!" I miss y'all and am looking forward to being able to communicate with you on your sites.
"Dear Jesus, You say 'blessed are the poor in spirit.' I am poor in spirit. Why am I ashamed to say that I need You, and that I long for Your fullness? It is true. You have blessed me so much and I thank You, but Your presence is my greatest longing. I am a fish out of water without You here bodily. Yet, You have blessed me so much. Continue still more. Amen"

Believe me...you are blessed for realizing the condition you are in.

It is that yearning to be closer to Jesus that helps use to develop a closer relationship with Him!

Have fun on your vacation. Don't fall down skiing!

I am so grateful you are having a wonderful time! Thanks for the visit on my blog. It means a lot to me knowing you don't have much time:-)

Please be careful and enjoy. I know that "break a leg" is supposed to be a saying to wish good luck, but I hope you don't take that litterally!!! So... God bless you even more:-)

God's Grace.
