Peppermint Mocha please, half the syrup.

Yup,  that’s my usual. Especially early in the morning, like it is now. See it’s still dark out, so that constitutes for being early. I love it though, and this morning was especially great since I spent it with my dad. We got coffee and he went on to his job while I sit here and get ready to go to mine. I decided a few months ago that I do not like posting my life on the internet, I mean seriously…what happened to phone calls or letters if you want to know how someone is? So, in saying that, I’m going to contradict myself because here is an update.

This year has already turned out differently than I had originally planned, but isn’t that how life always works? It isn’t bad though, in fact it’s really good. And once again I give all credit to the Lord, because He obviously knows how to keep my life in order a lot better than I do.  Marquette is my hometown again, my heart breaks for this community, I love the people here. Same job, new restaurant, but I’m continually looking for something else. There are possibilities of being a nanny, being a secretary, being a home health aide, hey even a flight attendant has crossed the list (just kidding) but for now being a waitress is fine. In saying that, I love where God has put me. He always knows exactly where we belong, or rather who we belong with. The people He places in our lives is so important, and our relationship with Him even more. Trusting Him has been a lesson learned, and loved. It’s the sweetest thing  to know He’s got everything under control.

After two years, dance is in my life again.  I couldn’t be happier. It all started with a phone call from my church, and after that I knew God had given me the go to start-up my passion once again, this time for worship, not competition. So, writing dance for an Easter service has been added to the list of things to accomplish.  Writing music has stopped however, well it hasn’t happened in months. I can’t say why, I certainly would love to, but I think its a waiting period. Which is alright, patience is a virtue…at least thats what they say. With patience, I’m not planning anymore. I hate planning, it never works! Actually thats a lie. I love planning, I need to plan, but since it never works, I’m leaving the planning to the One who knows. So I do have plans, but they are open ended and flexible to whatever door the Lord has opened. And I think thats probably the best plan of all.

The mocha is gone, and my time has run out for updates this morning, but I think thats all for now.

Peace…

It’s winter.

So its not like this is breaking news, but it’s winter. I love winter. I love the cold because its an excuse to dress warm, and I love the snow.

Its a beautiful time of year.  

 

Took the dog out for a run, and sadly my camera died, so thank goodness for camera phones.  

 

I would give a whole update on life, but I’m short on time today. But all that is needed to be said is that all is well.

Stay warm…

 

Seasons…

So.

Once again I’ve let this sorry state of a blog go for so long I feel like I need to get on my hands and knees and start pulling up all the rocks and weeds. I’ve been moving, growing, running, and now I’m waiting. There has been so much happening in the past couple months, but guess what? I don’t even dare to share half of it with you. Its important, but too much to get into. Positive notes. Okay, lets start there.  For  7 weeks, we (meaning the Tribe of Judah) had been on the road. It was amazing…truly.  We teamed up with a few ministries such as The Clark Family, U-Turn, and Men As Trees Walking to put on events called the Harvest Gathering. Weekends of free  music, food and fellowship for the community, all to show the Love of Christ, and to give hope to the hopeless. Along with connecting up with great people all over Indiana, the Carolina’s, Tennessee, Florida, Texas and Lousiana, (forgive me for forgetting any…) we were able to serve one another and the communities we were in, and the Lord provided every single need, every step of the way. http://www.youtube.com/tribeofjudahmusic Here you go…click on that link and watch some of our videos. I bet you’ll enjoy at least one or two of em 🙂

I played my gypsy part well…it runs in my blood, and I’m not one bit ashamed. Feels good to be home, but I know I will be itching to get back on the road very soon. For now its time for family and close friends, time to rest and time to be rejuvenated. My heart is heavy over a number of things, prayer is always appreciated. I feel like a whole new wave of things will be happening soon, but for now the Lord is teaching me to just trust in Him and sit at His feet. There is no better place to be…He is my first love, and I’m returning to him daily.

So there you go…semi short and sweet. Rather vague I know…but it will have to do for now.

Sweet dreams.

Back on the farm

So I farm sat again, and this time I have pictures of the cute, cuddly animals who were under my care.  

Clyde likes dressers and cabinets, so there are baby locks in the kitchen…but not on the dressers!

Sheba…very much a momma’s girl, but I think she is warming up to me. Or maybe its cause I bring the food??

Smokey is a little blind, but still loves hugs and kisses…and treats…lots of them.

Truly Scrumptious is her name, and she is truly scrumptious!

Yes, they lay green eggs. How cool is that? I must confess again…I ❤ chickens.

New addition to the family!

His name is Zebadiah, but you can call him Zeb…he answers to both. This is my new baby, he’s 12 weeks old. His life is a new adventure for my family and I, and for Zeb too! Yesterday he came home and learned how to play ball…

Today he got his first bath, which wasn’t as enjoyable as one would hope. The laundry tub was….difficult. So, he got rinsed off in the shower, but that meant I got a shower too! 🙂

But he is frisky, and sassy, and a bit bossy too. I love him a lot…Wednesday will be the first beach day, so we shall see how he takes to sand, and the big cold lake, and lots of people, which he loves people by the way, and other dogs too!

So he will be my life for the next few weeks. Oh yeah, I have other productive things too like work, which has increased abundantly, and there are those people like family and friends too, yeah they are still in there!

There are many more topics to touch on, but not tonight. Tonight is early sleep, for in about an hour puppy will be cry-opps…there he goes. Bye!
