Nothing takes you (God) by surprise

We all face things in life. It is life. I feel sometimes I am being stretched to something unattainable but then today I was reminded that God is never ever going to give me more than I can handle. Why does He trust me so much? I mean really? Is this really what I can handle? God you know best.... this morning as I was journaling I wrote this line "nothing takes you by surprise" and it reminded me of the song. So today this was the song I listened to over and over again. God you do know what is best. I never want to question you!


I spent my breaks inside for various reasons today. Not the most gentle, sort of bully kind of fourth grader, came up to me on my lunch break and was like, "Miss....when was the last time I gave you a hug?" With that he wrapped his arms around me and gave me a big hug. He said...."I like that smile on your face!" Yes I did love it and coming from a child that normally doesn't study me much it was so sweet.

When I Grow Up

My kids love to sing. Right now for some reason they keep picking the song "When I Grow Up." The chorus goes: "When I grow up I wanna be just like you, so don't disappoint me I can see what you do. If you follow Jesus I will follow him too, so don't disappoint me, I can see what you do." Don't forbid little children to come unto Him For such is the kingdom of God, Always set an example that points out the way And do what the Lord has to say. Don't forget little children become big folks some day For what you see becomes what you do. If you walk with Jesus, I'll walk with Him too. So don't forget, I'm close behind you. I really like the song but when it's time for the chorus it gets me every time. Maybe it is those 12 hands and 60 fingers that are pointing my way. Today I pointed back at them and they had a few words to say as soon as the song finish! "Miss....WE ARE FOLLOWING YOU! You can't foll

..here it is. It's hot, dry, and breezy. The month is almost halfway gone already. sigh. It's hard to believe it's been one whole year already that I've been married to this wonderful man. He truly is so extremely good for me. Marriage is a wonderful thing. It's good to have the first year behind us though. We look forward to many more! February 7 is Independence Day. The churches had a picnic and cooked the national dish. Kyla...or little Cindy as I call her. oil down...it was deliciously made by Sammy. A few wore their Independence colors!  Sailing festival was also held the other weekend on the beach. I was wishing so badly I had remembered my camera but alas phone pictures had to work!
