I did not think through planning blog posts on certain days when I had a Beach Trip planned. Shortly before we arrived at our rented beach house for the Labor Day Weekend, the owners cut off the Internet service. Bummer. Yes, I could have gone to the Dunkin' Doughnuts and gotten free Wi - Fi but that would have meant being pulled away from this cutie. Miss Wiggles does not like the bright sun (she is a fair skinned red head so I suppose its only natural) so she loved loved loved her sunglasses. Never once did she try to pull them off or attempted to touch them. I think 'cause she sees me where mine, she just knew. In the DIY blogging world, there have been so many neat table arrangements, and arranging every where else from bed sides, dressers , mantles, windows, etc. that I felt I should try my novice hand at artfully arranging my side table to the cozy leather chair in my library (aka, home office). So hear it is. I had this silver platter fit for a Thanksgiving Tur...

I love this passage becuase it reminds me to trust in God. While circumstances may come and go, if one is rooted in God, He will help us weather the drought. I looked this Scripture up in several versions (on BibleGateway.com) and the KJV is the only one that refers to the tree in the feminine pronoun. I like this because when I read it, I felt like God was speaking directly to me and the circumstances in my life. I know that the year to come with my hubby's deployment will be difficult. God is telling me to get "grounded" - to have my roots drink from His living water.
I finally get your blogging. I didn't understand that you are continually writting and it's not just on one page. One of my favorite verses is "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he who increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow." ~Solomon Ecc 1:18 I like it so much because I have prayed for God to give me more wisdom, but in doing so have asked to also not become wise in certain areas. It is a verse that allows me comfort in hard times, but also keeps me in check not wanting to increase in wisdom to the point of no longer needing God, Solomons life story. I look at it as a warning and also a rewarding verse. The other one I love is "Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?" Luke 12:24 It is a wonderful reminder of God's increasing love and provisions for us. Even in times of living from meal to meal. I have seen some of God's greatest miracles when we had nothing. Both of these verses, I feel, are my life verses. And the whole book of Job, whom I often return to to draw strength.
