I want to be a single Blade of grass!

I was at a stop light today out in the counnnntry and when I looked out my window I saw a bunch of these type of blades of grass blowing in the wind. Individually just blowing whichever way God had the wind move them. I so long to be a blade of grass for Him. I yearn for it, and want it so much. to only care for His will and His plan and purpose. And in most all areas of my life I do it effortlessly.

I had my first date yesterday in almost 2 years. I just dont know if I was made to date. Apparently there are rules. I dont know them. When you call? When you dont? I dont like rules. Especially rules against people and friendships and relationships. Grr.

Otherwise the date went fabulously (i think) and he is an amazing guy. Active in his church. Super nice and hilarious, and he gets me. He is older so apparently that is a whole new set of the rules btw.

am I overanalytical? maybe. But cant I just have the answers I need?

So can I just turn into a blade of grass please!???

Going to do a blog face lift and testing mobile posting...

my son woke up on the couch where he fell asleep and found an old cell phone in the cushion where his arm was and said: Look mama! santa brought me this phone while I was asweep!!!

Retreat

(click on the title of this entry for website)

A week ago I attended a church retreat with Sandy Stiles speaking. It was all about transformation. And still a week later I am stunned at how much realer God and the people around me got. And those that know me IRL know that I am a pretty real person. No hidden feelings, out in teh open take me or leave me type of girl. What an awesome God we have! I feel so blessed to be surrounded by women who encourage me on a daily basis!

And Sandy, Wow! An amazing speaker! So real and does not put a sugar coating on the pure honest truth. Love her.
So you see my interenet is back and new computer is here. Blogging back in effect. AMEN! ;)

Pictures like this are helpful for a few reasons:

1. I will for sure be using this to embarrass my children and humor myself at some point. Humor is good.

2. Drew is lovin the word nooooooo right now. And his sister is also. Bt this shows the sweetness of parenting even when I feel like I am correcting behaviors all day!!


This too shall pass right????

Because we all know I am ALWAYS right :)

The worship band at my church released a CD this month and its amazing. Highly recommend it! God has truly blessed me with a church family that is out of this WORLD.
