{Snow Day}

 

Woke up to a fresh blanket of snow and a day off school today:)

 

 

Kelsey had to park in the neighbor's driveway because ours isn't plowed. So then I had to shovel a path for her to get down my driveway! The things we do for each other.

One of our outdoor spring decorations. Covered in snow. God bless Ohio!

Snow covered bushes after digging out the porch from under this fluffy white stuff!

Other things accomplished today:
-I made twice baked potatoes for lunch!
-I died miss Kelsey's hair. It's auburn!
-Mom and I worked on origomi flowers for Oasis! {so many more to go!}

Enjoy the snowy wonderland! Peace out. girlscouts!

Love One Another

Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours!

 

 

Now, whether you do or don't celebrate this holiday, I encourage you to love on somebody today! It could be your kids, spouse, parents, or the lonely kid at lunch...it doesn't matter! God has commanded us to love one another:).

 

Happy Love Day to you all!

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”   John 13: 34-35

Learning the Word

Lately, I have been searching for ways to grow closer to the Lord through His Word. I was ready my devotions late one night and the author suggested carrying around a notecard with a verse on it all day.

I use the verse from the day I'm on in my devos the entire next day. I keep mine in my case with my meter in it, which is opened 4-5 times per day and is a great reminder for me to look at the verse.

I date my notecards and then store them in a notecard box for safe keeping. Once I have a years worth of verses, I'll be able to reuse the cards and really learn those verses!

It's been working great! On the first day, I found myself quoting my verse from memory all day! I'm so excited to have finally found a memorization technique that works for me!

I also started keeping a "Thanksgiving" journal back in September. I write down almost every day what I am thankful for. This has really caused me to become thankful for even the smallest things in life. Even after having a crappy day, I can ALWAYS find at least one thing to be thankful for!

I hope that these methods help you as much as they have helped me!!

Sunrise, Sunset

Last Wednesday, this beautiful portrait was painted by Our God. There's something about sunsets that draw me nearer to my Saviour.

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised.

-Psalm 113:3

 

 

"When the sun has set, no candle can replace it."

-George R.R. Martin

 

 

"There is a sunrise and sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them."

-Jo Walton 

 

 

Those who stand at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your wonders. from where the sun rises to where it sets, you inspire shouts of joy.

-Psalm 65:8

 

 

Jesus draw me ever nearer
As I labour through the storm.
You have called me to this passage,
and I'll follow, though I'm worn.

May this journey bring a blessing,
May I rise on wings of faith;
And at the end of my heart's testing,
With Your likeness let me wake.

Jesus guide me through the tempest;
Keep my spirit staid and sure.
When the midnight meets the morning,
Let me love You even more.

Let the treasures of the trial
Form within me as I go -
And at the end of this long passage,
Let me leave them at Your throne.
