..musings these days...

I've been thinking a lot...too much so these days. Why? why? WHY? Why do people go and do these things? Why can't we talk straight with each other? What is unity? Do I really know what I am doing here? Why do I react like I do? Why are others reacting so? Do I judge or do I try and perceive what could be going on behind the reaction I see? God help me to sit back, study my own life, and THEN....when my own perception is right, to go forth with God and help in whatever way I can.
Life hasn't been easy, it isn't getting easier, but I am learning. Learning more than ever what it means to surrender. Surrender hurts. I'm stubborn. Tears don't change that but in these moments I am trying to do as David and TRUST. Trust the unknown when all I seem to have is myself to trust. People hurt..words kill.... and through the pain I begin to be like so many people I have tried to reach the past three years..."I ain't trustin nobody". I can't go there. I WON'T...but through it all  I am gaining a new perception of how things look "on the other side of the fence."..it's not greener over there either. just saying.
 On a brighter note....I am very happy for my little sister who got married on Friday! It was a beautiful wedding and a lovely day. We had fun and she is off happily honeymooning in the Dominican. We've had many memories even though the last 4 years of our lives have been hundreds of miles apart. Miles of separation can't change relationships. Not sisterly ones anyway! I am looking forward to making more fun times now that we can be together...her a married woman or not.

 We went out for breakfast

Yeah the whole family...quite the crew for a picture

Ellie, Anna and MaryKate

Siblings....you can see the love. None of the pictures I had were normal...someone always have too much thing to say!


 We put off lanterns after the reception. They were to be for the grandkids but as you can see...big or small we all enjoyed them.



 The chinese girls were in their glory

up...up..and away...

 The summer is going fast. I haven't been working...wedding things filled up plans and going here and there. It is time to find a job. UGH! What to do? I do not know! I've been vaccinating chicks, helping paint my brother's barn a little and then just babysitting and swimming! Time for reality. Get to work! This past weekend I got to spend time with these cool Grenada people. That brings light to any dark day! :)


Yes he is the most troublesome of them all!

mmmhhhmmm..painting amd more painting!

When I Grow Up

Image
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

February

..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! Sports Day is coming up for most schools. I went to Wesley College Sports day on Wednesday. It was good to see how secondary schools do it! I went in support of Alana's son Joshim. He didn't disapp

It will be mostly pictures cuz I ain't got any more time then I had the last 6 weeks. Oh where does time go? He slept all but the last hour or so. The beach makes tired and grumpy babies! If only I could fit in it and sleep as well! Drew looking all professional! Shivani....one of the sweetest you will meet! Warming up to granny from some very safe arms! Visited Thaddeus on work so of course we got a lot of fruits to sample!  One of my favorite pictures of the whole trip. We did a lot of this....too much for my liking but with a cranky child, home was easiest! Khali Kayla goggle goober The beach was fun till he got tired. That alone made it not worth taking him :( My beloved friend Alana. She works so hard to provide for her boys which made it har
