In which I realize I haven't given an update in some time...

I'm sorry- I know I haven't posted in a little while...at least it seems it has been a little while. But I am sure you know by now that lack of posting simply means, lack of time. I would tell you that I have been busy preparing to leave for Alabama- but I'm sure you don't want to hear that-again. Instead, I will share some pictures with you that I have been trying to take, as I try and make the most out of my time left here at home. 
She said, "I just want to spend time you you...we can do somethings special,.."

I finished crocheting the first of four blankets I hope to take with me to Alabama:) 
While the angle is weird and my arm is stuck in the way- this picture captures the fun we had on the tree swing:) 
This past Tuesday was my last day teaching piano until I get back! 
                I'm going to miss him! 
There is something so refreshing about watching the sun rise and wake the world. 
 Easter Sunday- celebrating the resurrection of Christ! And we had a house full of people:) We played some games and had good disscusion- and ate good food;) 
Spring is in full bloom everywhere and I am enjoying it to the fullest! 

Our neighbors barn is so pretty with the budding trees and bright green grass:) 

I ordered a book from Voice of the Mytars 
That came last week and I have been blessed and encouraged as I read the stories of fellow brothers and sisters around the world who are standing up for Christ no matter what it costs them. If you want to know how to pray for our brethern in chains, this book will give helpful insight on how we can pray. 

We have some new kittens on the farm! 
I love having new life on the farm! 
And I believe that pretty summarizes what I have been busy doing...though I did not mention my normal work during the week...
I did build my first door jam, and that's finished now:) I enjoyed that- got two more to go;) 
Pretty soon, I think my posts will be filled with pictures of my upcoming "vacation" with my sister, and then little children who have stolen my heart;) Soooo...
Until next time, 
Elise

A Child's Reminder

On the way home from church one Sunday, a little girl said to here mom, " Mom, our Sunday school teacher said God is big enough to hold the world in His hands, is that true?" Her mom answered, "Yes, dear." Then the little girl turned to her Daddy, "Daddy, our teacher also said that if we ask Him to, Jesus will live inside us. Is that true too?" "Yes, Honey." Her Daddy nodded. "And God and Jesus are the same person, right?" The little girl added. "Yes, that's right." Her Daddy answered. "Well, if Jesus is so big that He can hold the world in His hand, but He can also live in me, and I am so small, why doesn't He show through?" WOW! If you take that question and think about it differently... Christ should be showing through us! We are broken vessels and His light needs to be shining through our cracks. Think about what that little girl was asking, in a indirect way.  She didn't even realize the trut

Passing unnoticed

Sometimes it seems like life moves very slowly, and other times it seems that it moves very quickly. It seems that the opposite of what I want, happens. If I wish for it to move slowly, it moves quickly, and if I wish it would move quickly, it moves slowly. Nevertheless, the past 5 months have come and gone like a flash. I can hardly believe January is almost over. I realize that there may be very few people who read my blog; perhaps a lot of that has to do with how infrequently I write. ;) But I was thinking about what I might blog about and looking through pictures... I guess it is really the little things that make up a beautiful life. It's the little things everyday that make fond memories. I tend to be so task oriented that I forget to stop and notice the dew drops on the flower, the frost patterns on the window, the unique sunrise... the smiles which are flashed at me every day. And then- suddenly these precious times are gone. It's a new stage of life, the things we

Welcome Autumn!

Autumn....it's my favorite season of the year! Colors changing, weather cooling, my birthday, apple cider, pumpkin and apple pies, leaves falling, crisp air, camping, apple butter...so many things I love about Autumn! I love to go walking outside when the leaves are changing colors...when the air is getting crisper. And then, God knew I would love Autumn so much, he gave me a birthday in my favorite season:) So that's a big plus too:) Thank you Lord for such a wonderful season! And also, thinking about my birthday- thank you so much for giving me life! And another day to live. Thank you for Your love and mercy! You are so precious! Teach me to love You more! And that is what Virginia looks like in Autumn...but not until October;) I found these pictures online;) So enjoy your Autumn!  Until next time, Elise
