Days 1-4 of 100 Happy Days Project

::Life:::

 It's been awhile hasn't it?

 We haven't forgotten you.  We've been transitioning. 

In November we moved in with my husbands parents as we tried to sell our house. We sold it ourselves which was crazay! But we did it! 

Now we are in a house of 3 generations which is loud, busy, exhausting, and fun.  We are trying to pay off debt. Find the perfect house plan. Dream and yet stay in reality. Time seems slow with the things we want to happen. But we know our Lord controls the time. He has placed us exactly where we are needed and where he wants us. He is blessing us. He is teaching us.  His time is perfect so we must be patient. 

Pray with us.

Transition is hard for all of us.  To not have our 'own' space is very trying at times.  We pray for clarity as to which house-plan will soot us best.  We do have an address and hope to put in a driveway next week.  

A visit to the bank will be our next task and then to work with a builder.

We love you all and appreciate your friendship and support!

Stay tuned.

Change is gonna come

Ever feel like there is another person inside you scratching to get out.  You know your 'inner voice'?  The voice that speaks your thoughts, desires, and dreams. 

That voice only you can hear?

Someday's I feel there is a whole different side of me that I want to become. I live her out in my day dreams, and my night dreams.  

But for some reason, she is not fully lived out of my head.  

Have you ever felt so strongly that ♫♪ CHANGE is gonna come ♫♪♫.

I am so blissed out at the thought of this!

I am desiring change, in so many ways! 

I am ready to embrace the funky-spirited gal who is scratching inside of me.  She wants to be known.  I am ready to be true to me. Be true to my family. Obey my heavenly Father who created my being and intricately put me together.

He knows me.

He knows where I am and how I act. He knows where I am going and who I am to become.  He is still growing me. Oh how cool that is!  He is still molding me and will never stop until he calls me home.

Fear takes hold.  Of course it does. With change is vulnerability. Where will I stand; with my feet in sand or on the rock?  

Will my change be accepted?  He answers. "If you are honoring me, why are you worried."    

Girlfriend. Get some confidence.  Rely on the Lord, it is He who will strengthen you.  It is He who gives joy.  He gives you your time. 

He will give you contentment if you are TRULY focused on him! 

So do it!

Rebecca:

Start fresh. Early in the morn. Rise with the birds. Honor with your dwelling. 

Give your time to your Family. Play hard. Seek knowledge. READ. Work the earth. 

Spin your bike. Dance in your hoop. 

Be present. Joy-filled. Laugh loud. Make new friends.

Lead by example. 

Give it to the Lord, He is waiting for you.

He sings or is suppose to be with his CBS friends

Last Tuesday the kids at CBS (Community Bible Study) sang for their Mamas. We love this day. Our Evan, he LOVES to sing. He sings all day long. This causes Mama to learn the songs as well so we can sing together! Evan was so excited that morning that Mama and Nadia were going to watch him and his friends sing.

So we waited.

They take stage:

He looks and looks:

 He finds!

Ms. Jeannie introduces and talks about the year.

Settling and sharing Bible Verses they learned.

Bubba man walks off stage to perform for Mama and Sissy:

He knows how to charm!

Mama sends him back to stage to listen!

Many of these boys have grown up together. What a joy it is to watch them grow and bond.

To learn their Bible Verses, they put them to a song. So amazing how quickly they know and remember them. Here is John 3:16

Here he is singing an Easter Song which we are also singing in Sunday School. We sing this over and over throughout the week!

Did you notice when he saw I was filming. The demeanor instantly changes.


Another favorite song! Somebody Up There Loves Me. You can tell all the kids enjoy it!
But my Evan...ornery as ever!

Boys. They are new lesson for me every day. I love him. He drives me crazy. I love him more for it.

We loved every moment. Nadia was fully entertained, swinging feet and clapping hands!

First bouquet of Spring

He squealed with joy and ran fast.

Grinning wide, he holds out his open hands filled with gold, glorious gold!

"These are for you Mom."

"For your table."

He loves me.
I adore him more than he will ever know!
These moments are treasures in my heart.

Thank you sweet Lord for Spring Days.
