Peace in the Storm.....

It seems that I am seeing storms more and more in the lives of those I love. It is very hard because I am a fixer. I see those around me hurting and I want to make it all better. As this happens, I am learning that it isn't my job to be "the fixer". That is God's job.

Psalm 107: 28 and 29

“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,

and he saved them from their distress.
He calmed the storm to a whisper
and stilled the waves.

We have got to get to the place that when the storms come we cry out to God! He desires to help us and to calm our storms. The problem comes when we try to fix it without asking for God's help first though.

In the midst of our storms, when we ask for God's help first, we can have total peace while the storm rages around us. And then God will calm the storm right before our eyes. I am learning a little each day that as I allow God to calm my storms it makes things so much easier!!!

I am back!!!

Oh how I have missed blogging!!! But I AM BACK!!!! YAY!


This last year has been interesting. I now have Internet again and blogging is like therapy for me so I decided to pick it back up. I may not post a lot but I will be posting.

My kids are all so big now! I have posted new pictures of them on the side. Jacob is now 10 and has the long hair(help me Lord!). We are begging him to cut it but he LOVES it long. He is almost finished with 5th grade and it has been a challenge!!! But he has managed to keep all A's.

Amber is now 6 and has almost finished Kindergarten and she is so smart! I am sure that having an older brother that home schools has helped! We are so excited about 1st grade!! She is now riding her bike without training wheels, I am sure we will have a summer full of walks around the block.

And last but not least is Nathan, he is now 3 almost 4. And he is a wild child! LOL He is counting to 10 very easily and tries to do Amber's school with her. He totally LOVES Bible Man movies.

George and I have been doing well. He is still working and I am still handling homeschooling pretty well. I would love to follow a schedule better. Maybe after our summer break I will be more focused. The last 2 years have been tough for us. My aunt passed away in February of 2009 and my oldest brother passed away August 1st of 2009. We are healing though, one day at a time.

I am now singing on the praise team at our church and LOVE it! Music is like a healing balm for my heart. God is so amazing to us and we are so blessed!

I will soon post again and share my heart on a few things. It is so great to be blogging again and I can't wait to catch up with all of my bloggy friends!
