Why a blog?

I was diagnosed with cancer in 2007 and soon began journaling my walk in our local paper and continuing my dream to be a writer. You meet me in between taxing kids to and fro, baking cupcakes, feeding chickens, running up and down my dirt road, fishing, sweeping the floors, stuffing the clean laundry in bathroom cabinets, researching how to get a book published, studying my next Bible Study lesson, or perhaps sitting on my back porch in the country watching my husband's deer and my purple martins. To say I am blessed is only the beginning!

Funny flu tales

My girls both tested positive for the flu. The things I have heard around here the past few days have been so funny!

Bosque to Blaise - you are not even really sick. It's no fair that you get that sprite.

Bosque to me - you got the girls those Naked juice drinks. I said yes Bosque because they need more veggies. He replied with "We can eat veggies too."

Banner to Bosque when he was being too loud - go crawl in a hole!

Branden to a teacher at school - us boys are sleeping outside in a tent.

Blaise to Banner - are you going to fix your hair before we go to the doctor?

Banner to me when she stood up this morning - I feel like one of those needle dolls!

Brazos to everyone - I will be outside!

Blaise in the form of a simple note has requested a sick prize from anyone who will buy her one!

Really overall - a sense of Quietness! Our house is usually does not resemble anything that can be called quiet. It has been quiet in the daytime with the girls!

Oswald Chambers this morning reminded me of another type of quiet that I have often questioned.

He wrote "Has God trusted you with a silence-a silence that is big with meaning? God's silences are His answers."

I think after we pray and ask, the Lord may give us a silence to test us. We have to know even in the periods that we don't think we see Him, hear Him, or maybe He even doesn't act in the manner we think He should, God is present and at work!

I often joke that He is silent at times with me because He wants to make sure I will not revert back to my old ways, jump on a plane to Vegas, and put it all on black or red.

No, I am not doing that. In the ups and downs, I'm going to rely on the Lord and know in my heart that He will never leave my side! Even when He is quiet!
