Let it Unfold: May 2008

Psalm 121

A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

Just Let it Unfold

It is only a tiny rosebud. A flower of God's design; But I cannot unfold the petals With these clumsy hands of mine. The secret of unfolding flowers Is not known to such as I; The flower God opens so sweetly Would in my hands fade and die. If I cannot unfold a rose bud This flower of God's design. Then how can I think I have wisdom To unfold this life of mine? So I'll trust Him for His leading Each moment of every day; And I'll look to Him for His guidance Each step of the pilgram way. For the pathway that lies before me My heavenly Father knows; I'll trust Him to unfold the moments Just as He unfolds the rose. --unknown

Don't You Wish it Could be that Easy?

The other day, as usual we were busy going about our day. The birds were chirping, I was spring cleaning and Katie was watching her favorite show "Stanley." Then all of sudden..."Poof...Bham!" The power went out. Again. This has become a almost once a month occurance. Two weeks ago it happened before. Katie has become quite use to it. She signed and walked into the kitchen where I had finished sighing myself and she said..."Mommy, the TV went boom!" I said, "No the power went out honey, that was the transmitter you heard that made that noise. " She replied ever so non-chalently, "Oh just like before day that crazy squirrel munched the wire and got fried?" I chuckled at her response and told her that may be the case. A couple of minutes later she put up her finger and said eagerly, "MOMMY! Let's call Daddy, he can fix the TV and clocks and oven. He can fix the problem!"
Don't you wish it could be that easy?

I AM SO BUSY!

I took these pictures one day when Mandy really started to scoot and try to crawl. She was very smiley that day.

Mother Daughter Girl Scout Banquet

It's hard to imagine that it has been one year since we went to the last Mother/Daughter Banquet. Molly has grown so much over the year. She is much more independent. She's really getting a cute personality.
