Desperate for Spring Break

in other news, let me begin by saying, "I became an aunt again today!!" My nephew was born today, and I can't wait to see pictures of him. let alone MEET him!! There are no babies to spoil in our little neck of the woods, and I wish I could be a real aunt and be there with him to watch him grow up--and take a gazillion photos of him. oh well.

So here's why I'm DESPERATE for Spring Break. I get to:

catch up on my "Home Office" project, including painting and assembling these (so excited to finish them)

go to this park with my in-laws, nieces, and nephews (and my own kids, of course). Ashley has decided we need to make it a yearly tradition the day after Easter :)

catch up on house-cleaning and use this (thanks, Samantha!):

scrapbook for four hours straight--paper scrapping (vacation photos from last summer)

most of all--NO RUSHING the whole day from one thing to the next

catching up on grocery shopping, errands, and PLANNING MEALS, something I haven't done since i started back full-time

in short, recharge my batteries 'cause i'm running on empty right now.

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me. I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section. I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me. So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates! It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far. :) God is incredibly amazing, huh? The big picture that He has shown me so far? Eve

Your "Fairy-Tale" Life

Your life may not look like a fairy tale, and it may certainly not FEEL like a fairy tale, but I am going to attempt to prove to you today that your Christian walk parallels a fairy-tale life. 😊 Initially, this may sound almost blasphemous to you, but I am so certain that I received this directly from God. I pray that it encourages you to believe that God is working in your situation whether you see evidence of it or not. He is such a good God, and such a big God. 😊 First, I would like to start with the main points that a speaker made at a Girls Ministries camp that I attended a few weeks ago, which were the springboard for what God revealed to me. • It took a lot of courage for Cinderella to respond to the prince’s invitation to the ball because of how her family made her feel. • It also took a lot of courage for Mary to obey and follow God’s plan for her life. • If we agree to follow Jesus and accept His invitation, and keep our eyes on Him, He will take us on a beau

This was amazing!

I'm so sorry. I AM working on a new post, but to tide you over until then (I should have it up by next Tuesday), I found this on YouTube and was so encouraged and inspired by it. I will post the story behind the song, and then the link to the song itself. I hope this blesses you! Story behind the song "Tell Your Heart To Beat Again" Lyric Video Have a bright, beaming, better-than-average day! :)
