My thoughts this morning.

I was sitting here this morning thinking about my life. I just sat watching my girls thinking "LIFE IS GOOD." Then I began thinking "GOD IS GOOD!" For it is He that has given me this life that I am so loving. It is through His love and strength and patience that I have come to the point that I am creating this life I love. It is because I chose to turn my life to God and I got to the point that I knew I could no longer control my own life - all I was doing was messing up. I am so thankful that He brought me to a place where I recognized that I needed Him in the driver seat. As long as I surrender to His will and seek His strength and guidance in all I do I know that I will be loved and blessed. God is amazing. He does amazing things, and has worked incredible miracles in my life. Anyone who knows there is something missing in their life needs to seek God - for it is that unconditional love that most of us have been missing. When we seek God we begin to understand that we are never alone and that we are surrounded by more unconditional love than we will know what to do with. All it takes is asking God into your heart and choosing to follow the directions He leads you. Amazing things will come.

I absolutely love antiques. I can spend hours just walking through antique shops looking around. I love taking my camera and taking as many pictures as I can.

I typically scrap 4x6 photos in my albums of the kids, 5x7 in my faith album and any size in my Me album. I guess it depends on the picture and the journaling. Really special photos usually are larger.

{21} Days - Day 16 & 17

2 New Layouts

Did both of these at my NSD Crop I attended - had lots of fun with both.

This first one is based on Psalm 1:1-2 "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields it's fruit in it's season and it's leaf does not wither. In all he does he prospers."

I took this photo last summer and thought it suited this scripture perfectly.
This second page is based on Psalm 111:2,3 "The works of the Lord are great, studied by all who have pleasure into hem. His work is honorable and glorious, and His righteousness endures forever."

2 Peas Monday Blogger Challenge

It's a new month! Join us today if you blog. Challenge: If you had to pick one person, that was alive right now.. who would you choose to spend an entire day with??? I had to really think about this one - there are so many possible answers I could have given - it was very hard just choosing one. I think I would like to spend the day with a Christian author named Judy Meyer. Her books have meant so much to me - I turn to them when I need help understanding something I am going through. I have a dream of writing a book one day. I would hope to talk with her about her incredible strength and faith, and talk about writing.
