Hmmm this is appropriate...

So I get these emails from WayFM, a christian radio station, and it amazes me sometimes the versus and songs they use on the devotional sometimes just really hit home (lately it seems they are all appropriate in some way) but anyway....this was in my email inbox today...


Whatever You're Doing
by Sanctus Real
Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believeYou're up to something bigger than me

Becoming the person that God wants you to be is a process. It takes time and willingness. And when God begins working in you, it can feel like you’ve been put into a giant blender and everything is getting mixed up.It can feel like your life is in total chaos and you have no idea which way to go. But God knows what he’s doing. And he’s doing everything for your good. So when you feel all mixed up and don’t understand, trust that he’s up to something big. He’s making you into the person he wants you to be.
Isaiah 55:8-9
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,so my ways are higher than your waysand my thoughts higher than your thoughts.”

Don't think I could have said it any better...but its a great description at how we are feeling right now...

Saturday stuff

This morning Ty and I went to pottery class while Auntie Carol & Gram watched the kiddos. Its nice to spend some time just us, even if it is just a couple hours. A pottery expert I am not but it sure was fun to just hang out and laugh together. We got home to a house full of rambunctious kids but they did clean their rooms and helped a bit with the family room so that was nice. This afternoon we had a pretty serious band of storms come through the area that had the potential for tornadoes, thankfully all we got was a little lightening and thunder and some rain. The rain is good for the crops I guess but I'd be really happy to get back to the warm weather again! After living in the rainy climate for 3 years I should be happy with any sun we get!

I finally was able to replace my Cricut machine and it arrived on Thursday. I had a lot of fun playing around and seeing the new features of it. I'm looking forward to scrapbooking and making more stuff. I got a good deal and got a 3rd cartridge basically for free, it was back ordered so I haven't gotten it yet but hopefully it will be here soon. I think my favorite part of the new machine is that it cuts chipboard, that would have been nice to have when I was hosting the classes. I am considering teaching classes here at the arts center....I haven't decided and don't know that I want to do it again but we'll see....as we get more settled and know more what we are doing maybe I'll know more.

That's it for now....gotta get the kids in the shower so they are cleaned up for church tomorrow....

Happy Easter!

Easter Sunday...after church and a lot of rain...we still don't look too bad I think!
