Time Marches On

As graduation is getting closer, it is starting to seem more real.  It's really happening...wow, I used to think the day would never come. I thought I would always be in school, but it is not so. The older I get, the faster time passes.   Life changes so quickly. Watching my two older brothers grow up and pursue the things God has called them to do, hasn't been the easiest thing I ever done.  In fact, it has been somewhat hard.  But yet, I know it is life; life must continue.  Someday, maybe when I am preparing to move out of the house and start my own home, I will realize how necessary it really is.
I can't keep time standing still...it is always changing and there is nothing I can do about it- except learn to love my new normal.  I used to look at other families, that had a lot of children like us, and then little by little, their children moved out, got married and started their own homes.  and it seemed like we would always be together, our family, that is. But it isn't so.  It makes me treasure the moments I have with my family- knowing that one day all too soon, it won't be the same.  Children grow up, parents grow old, siblings get married, and life's pattern continues until the day that Jesus comes back for His children.  May I be making the most of my time for I don't know when He is coming back. I don't have enough time to fret about things of no eternal value.

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 w...

Snow And Ice Make It All Look Nice

That's true! It looks so pretty after it has snowed and even prettier once the ice has settled in. {Though I must say that the problems caused by ice are normally not as pretty.} We had a couple inches of ice on top of our snow last week. Although it was gorgeous to look at, there were quite a few snapped trees, and power outages throughout the county. Thankfully, we did not loose our electricity.  And so our winter wonderland came and was gone in 24 hours. It made for some beautiful scenery while milking though:)  In case you haven't picked up on it, I do my best to find something pretty, beautiful and/or good in all my circumstances. No, it's not always easy, and sometimes it takes me a while to find it, but I'm certain it's always there.  Enjoy your Tuesday everyone!  Until next time,  Elise

Saved by Grace

Recently I was asked to share my salvation testimony- and even though I have done that many times before, I can not help being amazed every time I share it.  I can not help but think how amazing God is for saving me! He continues to love me even when I forget about Him in my daily life! How could I forget about someone who loved me so much, that He died  for me!!? " And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Savior’s blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain— For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, wouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, wouldst die for me?" And saying that, I thought I would share my testimony with you as well.  I have been raised in a godly, christian home and therefore, I grew up hearing the Bible read to me everyday.  When I was four years old, Daddy explained to me the importance of having a personal relationship with God. He explained that I could...
