life is hard...God is good!

Our pastor has been going through a 4 week sermon series on the will of God. If you want to check it out, I would highly recommend it...www.graceky.org.

Today he talked about that in the New Testament after the gift of the Holy Spirit is given, the idea of looking for the will of God is never mentioned because we KNOW the will of God. God desires for us to glorify him in wherever we are...

whatever we are doing!

He of course struck a cord when he said that the more steady, regular doses of the Word of God we study the more in the will of God we will be.

Life is hard...but we are so blessed to have a God who loves and cares for us.

As time passes the more I feel myself longing for Heaven when...

MY FAITH WILL BE SIGHT!

But for now...I will settle for a steady regular dose of His word to live by.

your trash is my treasure!

My house is full of great finds that are found at the end of the street on garbage nights!

Here are a few of my favorite new things that people throw away!!

Their loss is my gain!!

{I cannot wait to have time so I can actually fix up these pieces. }

This is a secretaries desk!! What a great find!

I have been searching for a little table to go in out recently renovated bathroom!
I will paint this puppy white and it fits perfect in there!

unexpectedly fun evening in the country

On Saturday night I had to travel to Indiana to interview a family friend for a school paper
and it unexpectedly turned into a super fun night!!

I conducted the interview on my handy dandy "netbook" as we drove to Oldenburg Indiana

Home of....Well I am not sure, but we were going for dinner!
I finished the interview at dinner and everyone enjoyed a home cooked
Fried Chicken Dinner

* at dinner there was this old man and his wife sitting at the table next to ours. The wife was in a wheelchair and the sweet sweet husband fed his wife her supper. it was sooo precious how much he truly loved her! old people love is the best!

After dinner we stopped by a local "Whippy Dip" to have some delicious soft serve
with sprinkles!

After dinner we stopped by a local produce stand and bought
the sweetest yummiest Cantaloupe you can imagine!
{Little side of the road produce stands are the best!}

When we arrived back at our friends house we built a bonfire
and roasted marshmellows!

It was a lovely evening of doing fun summer things!

I could say it a million times...
Life is really about living for a BIG God while
experiencing the little things!

*Thanks for reading, have a great week!
