I'm back

Yes, it's been awhile, hasn't it?  Having my blog up for invitation only didn't seem to work well, but to be honest I haven't felt like blogging either.  I'm back to it (for now).  I thought I would focus more on HOW we live more than just what is going on in our family.  I feel that I may be able to help someone more if I post about how we live our lives and how God continues to bless us as we do so.

Like a previous co-worker reminded me, it's not the product but the process.  This statement was about crafts, but I believe we can use it for our life also.  The process of our lives.  We learn from our lives, even small things that arise throughout our days that impact us so much (and at the time we do not realize it).  How we deal with everyday issues, what our responses are, and how we allow the Lord to work things out instead of us working it out ourselves.  Isn't that what he said to do? 

Romans 12:1-3


1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

IT'S REALLY NOT ABOUT US, IS IT?  :-)
