I know, I know...

I haven't blogged in forever...
I've been busy.
I had surgery on my left hand on Tuesday to remove a ganglion cyst. My arm had to be in a sling until yesterday and I can't get it wet until tomorrow.
It is sore, and it hurts a little bit, but it's all good.


(I know that isn't an excuse for my lack of blogging, I will try to do better)

I hope you have a great day!!

By Your Side...

Day 2 of Jenna's Vacation

(Jenna's blog is here)

It's already almost 7:15 tomorrow morning in Israel!
Tonight they will stay in Tiberias, Israel and tour Mt. Carmel, Elija’s Cave, Meggido, Haifa: Bahia Garden, Nazareth Village Church of Annunciation, and Cana. (According to the Itinerary)
I'm sure she is having a great time, but we haven't been able to talk to her. We've gotten 2 emails, I think...
Sadly, she is having issues with the WiFi on her iPhone AND the calling card that she took!
So, she hasn't been able to call us or Skype us, yet.
She says she is having fun, but is very tired with the 8 hour time difference.
Please continue to pray for the group's safety and that they would learn as much about Israel as they can!

Day 1 of Jenna's Vacation...

So, yesterday Jenna left for Israel,
This house is SO empty already without her.
She is going to have so much fun and learn so much over there...
Gracie (our dog) has been sitting on MY lap (she doesn't really like me) and just sits in the middle of the floor looking pitiful, I think she misses Jenna.
I miss her too.
The sad thing is, we dropped her off 24 hours ago, and she won't be back for another 176 hours. Not that I'm counting or anything :)

His love NEVER fails!

"Your Love Never Fails" by Jesus Culture

Nothing can separate
Even if I ran away
Your love never fails
I know I still make mistakes
But You have new mercies for me everyday
Your love never fails

You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There maybe pain in the night but joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails


The wind is strong and the water's deep
But I'm not alone in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails

The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
But Your love never fails

You make all things work together for my good


I know, I know, I'm back to the lyrics, and you're all probably sick of them...but I really like the messages in songs.
Think about it, really think about it.
NOTHING can separate us from God, even if we run away, He's ALWAYS there.
No matter what we do, He loves us! That love NEVER changes.
I really don't have to be afraid, because He loves me and He's always with me!

Maybe it's just me, but I think these are quite powerful lyrics when you actually think about them!

Matthew 6:1-7 thoughts from ReMix

Matthew 6: 1-7 thoughts- You can read the whole chapter here.

Verse 1: Be careful not to do acts just so people can see you doing them, for there will be no reward in Heaven for you.
Verses 2-4: When you give to the needy, don't do it just for show. Do it in secret, doing it because you want to, and the Lord will reward you.

Verses 5-7: When you pray, don't pray like a babbling pagan (which means someone who doesn't know what he's doing). Don't pray on street corners, just so people can see you. It's okay to set an example, but don't pray just so people can see you.

Bottom line: Don't do things just for attention, do them because you want to and you will be rewarded in Heaven
