I thank Him for direction in all areas... Walking on His path is so much better than my own...

Another Psalm I meditate on and thank Him for protection. When Ryan began driving I would have a little twinge of fear try to rise in my heart every time the phone rang. I had to take time to fill myself up with His promises of protection.

His Name is mentioned over and over in scriptures. The Lord wants us to trust in His name... I am so thankful I can run to Him and when I have no words to pray, just thank Him for His mercy and grace and speak His name. There is power in His name...

And last but not least, a few tidbits from the weekend when we had a little chipmunk stuck in our sunroom that refused to come out!
The Treasures came up with several ideas but nothing was successful,
once when running from the chipmunk:
Jacob: I am not afraid, I am just frightened!
once when he was hiding:
Caitlyn: come here little chipmunk, come on little guy, we are friendly!
When I was telling Allie our little dachshund to go chase the chipmunk:
Jacob: Mommy, when you were little, could you talk chipmunk?
He finally ran out. But not before running into my foot and giving me a bit of a fright myself!;)

  • Oh that looks like so much fun! Maybe we should try that with the girls someday when the temperature dips BELOW 100 degrees......

    So glad the chipmunk made it out in one piece.

    As always the pictures are fabulous!

  • As usual, your photos are gorgeous! Love the shaving cream and body paint ones -- what a fun time!

    Yikes -- that chipmunk would have scared me too! Little critters can be so frightening!

  • What fun! The little ones here LOVE playing with shaving cream.

    I love sitting here listening to praise and worship music and reading the scriptures on your page. Thank you so much for the reminders that He is God!

  • Connie this post really spoke to me, you see our daughter Astrud which is 16 has such a heart for God and she left tuesday for her first out of country mission trip. She is in the underdeveloped parts of the Bahamas doing a street ministry. And I have faith that God is protecting them, but my flesh as a mother hashad such a tough time letting go and letting God, and some of these verses really spoke to me and I thank you for that. God bless you and your family.

    Love and blessings, Kristy

    ps I love the pictures!!!

  • Oh a little chipmunk..sounds so cute but not in your house, I guess. So, did you speak chipmunk when you were little?
