I love it when I 'get' it!

I had a wonderful, peaceful start to my day. I had a lot that I 'planned' on getting done before company came this morning. It didn't all get done...and I didn't care. (That is not normally the case!) I woke up...deciding that I wanted to do my devotions real quick. 'Real quick' turned into over an hour...and I was loving every minute of it. I will share some of the verses that God planted in my heart at another time. It was so fun. It was refreshing to enjoy God that much. It was wonderful to be inspired to share what He revealed to me.

I felt led to read a chapter out of this book I had been lent months ago. Feeling guilty that I hadn't even read a word of it...I brought it out with me. I cried as I read exactly what God wanted me to know. I knew that these words would have helped me over the past few weeks...but I am so thankful that I chose to be obedient today.

The words of author challenged me to rethink how I view God. How do you view His physical appearance? I generally view Him as being fairly old. Maybe not a full head of white hair...but definately salt and peppered. =)

His point in asking...was to bring a different perspective. We know that God does not follow the rules of humanness. He is not affected by time. He does not wither. He does not fade. He is youthful. He is full of life. He is vibrant. He is wise. He is sharp.

So, I am changing the view of God in my head. I want to serve a God that is ALIVE. And I do. I want to serve a God that is strong. And I do. I want to serve a God that is not frail. And I do.

The following are some pictures that I took over the last few months. They are random..and in no order. I just thought I would share my family with you. =)

Blog inspiration? Sometimes. Haha! This particular day...he was just in the way. Lol! Him being a great dane...there aren't many days that he ISN'T in the way. ;)

She still has the touch to put our little Levi to sleep. She will be such a good mama some day.

       This is what Levi does everytime Eric plays guitar. He is always standing next to him...watching. And when he thinks that daddy isn't looking...he tries to play it himself. I absolutely love it! I want my kids to love worshipping through music as much as we do!

Love the colors in this shot. I just wish she didn't always have dirt on her face. Lol!

Love that smile! And the tall grass surrounding him....priceless!

 I took this picture of our barn on the way back from one of our walks. Eric was so excited...we are going to frame it for the house. I love to take pictures that eventually end up on the wall!

 He was refusing to smile...and yet I love the outcome of this photo shoot. I took many many many...and finally he started being a ham. We even took turns making silly faces at each other for the camera. Notice...those didn't make it to the blog homefront. Haha!

I realize this shot is blurred...and has a wierd shadow. But the face...I couldn't resist! You can't help but to smile at that face!

Aiden's kindergarten graduation. He was the lion...and I am so glad that I videotaped it...his roar was the best!! =)

I'm so in love with you!

I hadn't ever seen the sun look like this before. Or maybe it was that I just don't pay attention much. It looked like it was reflecting on water....when in reality this was the sunrise one morning...over my neighbor's house. I love to catch a glimpse of God's glory!
