Catching Up

Image
By
I started catching up on my "blog reading," and, boy, I've missed A LOT! I decided to take up Samantha's L.O.A.D. challenge (one layout per day). Luckily, I've done three this week. Tonight makes number four. That means I have to whip up three layouts tomorrow.

I could do a layout about my attempts (emphasis on attempts) at gardening, my latest quilting project, our cat's injury ... and I still have to finish our vacation last weekend. I'd better get busy! I also am very intrigued by Ronalyn's "Year.in.Review" Album, so I think I will do it. What a great way to recap all the big and little events in a very easy format.

I think I'm finally recovering from the holidays and all the construction mayhem. I feel like myself now (as opposed to a very apathetic robot, which is how I've felt for several weeks).

This is the layout I created tonight. Basically, more of the same. It's just so much faster when I stick to the same format. This is my first "Sunday" page. It was so fun to watch them play in the snow and remember when I felt as exuberant about the snow as they did :)

I recorded "Pretty Woman" and now I'm off to watch it. It's been soooo long since I've watched a chick flick. Ta ta, y'all!

Well Carmela, I'm sorry to tell you, I'm putting my particpation in LOAD on hold... uptil April! I've got more projects than I can count right now(including Noah's announcments, FOUR gift albums, and several small sewing projects for friends)! Eek! If you want to wait until April (I'll be gone for half of March) and do it with me, you can, if not, I'll be dropping by your blog daily to see what you've been up to! :)

No, I think I'll do it now, and if I find that it's too much, I'll quit until April, lol! :)

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

By Carmela
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 pi...

Genesis 1: Commentary for my students :) {Hi! I miss you already!}

By Carmela
These are my thoughts on Genesis 1.  If you were sitting in front of me in the classroom and we were reading together, this is what I would tell you.  :) So sit back, relax, grab a cup of water ... or Gatorade ... or a juice box ... or your Starbucks, and get ready to be fed spiritually! As you read, try to visualize (get a picture in your head) of what God created each day.  Imagine what it must have looked like to God--first there was nothing but darkness and water, then, slowly, each day, God could look at the new things He added to creation.  That must have been such a great feeling! Try to see it NOT JUST as a cool Bible story, but really try to understand that the AMAZING God we serve is really SO powerful that He could just use His words to make everything appear.  So, truly, NOTHING is impossible with God. Think about what you might be going through in YOUR life--some situation that seems almost impossible or truly impossible.  God CAN fix i...
