Let's Take It Outside...

We have had some lovely rain the past few weeks. 
Our flowers have come alive finally.
I have quite the love affair going with this plant. 
I think it is purple sage. 
So rugged and yet such delicate gorgeous purple flowers smile out of this desert looking bush.
Our sweet little backyard of our "new" old house.
There is quite a show that goes on in the morning around this hummingbird feeder.
This quirky little shed sits on one side of this interesting yard. The tin is rolling up and there is no door on it but oh, how I love it. The former owners left the whimsical surf board attached to the side and I'm so glad they did. The Lantana is growing like crazy around the shed.
Our front yard view.
Very nice if I do say so myself. :)
The sun coming through a stream of water from the sprinkler is so lovely.
It's the little things sometimes that delight.
The orange Lantana are so pretty too.
This beauty was enjoying the Lantana also.
The small intricate details that God put into his creatures are amazing.
I need to take the time to stop and marvel at them more often.
Blessings on your Monday and on your week!

Some words from our continued study on the Spirit of God from this mornings worship time:
Jesus promises that the Spirit will give us-

Promise of His Presence
Promise of His Teaching
Promise of His testimony
John 14:16-15:27

Our prayer everyday should be-
"Father please help Your Spirit in me to lovingly testify about Jesus today."

I loved this saying-
Speak to lost people about God and speak to God about lost people.
Pray. Pray. Pray.

Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
