You'd think its March!

I don't know about those in other states, but those of us who live in South West Virginia have had some pretty crazy weather recently! 
We had a severe thunderstorm today, with heavy rains, and very strong wind. The saturated ground couldn't soak up any more water than it already has, so there was flooding (on a small scale) in some places. I really enjoy storms and rain, and was glad for a little weather excitement. There were tornado warnings as well, but thankfully not for our county. I went outside after the heavy rain has stopped and got some pictures of the water that had formed rivers in our woods and "lakes" on the driveway. 
I wondered where all the water from the driveway (which was pouring into the woods to form rivers) was coming from; there had to be a source on higher ground. So I followed all the mini rivers and found our neighbors yard was about 2-3 inches deep water. And since it was higher than our driveway, well- there you go. That was the source:) I found it quite interesting to explore:) 
Our drive way, became a lake! (Half of it is lower than other parts of our land.) 
Even after the rain had stopped, the wind has continued to blow strong and hard. Maybe it will help dry up some of this excess water;) 
The rivers...


That's the neighbors yard!
I guess maybe it was more than 2-3 inches, now that I am looking at it again;) 
The "running" driveway;) 
And that's part of our front yard. 
The storm clouds...drifting away...
And to make it even more weird- it was 61 degrees today, in February- and it's been in the 40's. No wonder there were tornado warnings! 
Some of the mess left behind

And I guess that's all the pictures I have:) 
Did anyone else get a storm this past week? 
Until next time, 
Elise

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...

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...

New Years Resolutions??

I was thinking about what my New Years goals and resolutions should be while playing the piano the other night and I was singing this song, and I thought, "I couldn't have better goals and resolutions than these..." Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord to Thee, take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee. Take my voice and let me sing, always only for my King! Take my silver and my gold, not a mite w ill I withhold. Take my heart it is Thy own, it will be Thy royal throne. Take my will and make it Thine, it will be no longer mine.  Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of Thy love!  Take my love; my Lord, I pour, at thy feet it's treasure store. take myself, and I will be Ever, only, all for Thee."  "May the mind of Christ my Savior live in me from day to day, by His love and power controlling- All I Do And Say."   There is much that I am unsure about in this...
