.times of trouble.....

Do you long for peace?

Where does your peace come from?

Jesus was called the PRINCE OF PEACE (Is. 9:6)
But do you think of HIM when longing for peace?

Often times we need peace to counter balance this dark depressing world! But do we truly seek it from the right place?

Psalm 9:9 even says He is the REFUGE to the oppressed also known as heavily burdened also known as US! Me and YOU! We need to come to HIM for peace! Come to HIM to be our REFUGE!

Psalm 9:9 also says He is our STRONGHOLD in times of trouble! period. when times of trouble hit..go straight to our REFUGE and cry out to GOD for strength and PEACE!


I find that when we have a busy weekend (or a super busy day) I need peace to fill my heart before I go to bed. I need to renew my strength..recharge my heart...have peace in all areas of my life or I will completely loose focus on WHY I am here on this earth! I get so caught up in ME ME ME that I don't even acknowledge Jesus! or the NEED I have in my heart for Jesus! I have been lighting candles at night...WHY? (thanks for asking) because they relax me...and for some WEIRD reason I put my focus back on Jesus and enjoy some quite time just thanking and praying to HIM! Resting all my cares on HIM! I am not saying that candles bring you closer to Jesus or that candles are to be lit in order to pray to Jesus or that candles are the way to JESUS! But what I am saying is that if you don't have YOUR OWN personal quite time you won't be able to call out to Jesus to be your STRONGHOLD! REFUGE! PRINCE OF PEACE!

Are you Hungry?

for God's Word?




Psalm 119: 33-43
³³ Teach me, O LORD, to follow your decrees;
then I will keep them to the end.

³⁴ Give me understanding, and I will keep your law
and obey it with all my heart.

³⁵ Direct me in the path of your commands,
for there I find delight.

³⁶ Turn my heart toward your statutes
and not toward selfish gain.

³⁷ Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
preserve my life according to your word.

³⁸ Fulfill your promise to your servant,
so that you may be feared.

³⁹ Take away the disgrace I dread,
for your laws are good.

⁴⁰ How I long for your precepts!
Preserve my life in your righteousness.

⁴¹ May your unfailing love come to me, O LORD,
your salvation according to your promise;

⁴² then I will answer the one who taunts me,
for I trust in your word.

⁴³ Do not snatch the word of truth from my mouth,
for I have put my hope in your laws.

MINT LEAVES IN MY GARDEN!!!!!

So on Sunday after Jeff and I went to church and to my parents house for breakfast i thought i would work on the planter by my walkway to my front door. I wanted to pull out these really ugly looking plants that the builder had planted Jeff kept telling me not to do it because it was going to turn into more of task then i thought it was. I thought he was wrong!!! SO i started pulling out some of these plants and one of them just happened to be Mint!!!!!!!!! Well i got 3 plants pulled out and all i see is roots and roots and ROOTS OF MINT LEAVES!!!!!!!! it was so much work to get a little bit of the mint leaves out of the ground i didn't even finish pulling the rest of the plants out of the planter........ SO all of that just to say DONT ever plant mint in your garden!!!!!!!!!! it is not fun to Pull out!!!!!! well i hope you are all having a great week!!!! See you on Sunday

The Chronicles of WEIRDNESS!!!!

Alright well I just have to start a new series called The Chronicles of Weirdness! Seriously these occurrences are just bizarre!

Alright so Baby B is absolutely, gorgeously, amazingly, beautiful right? Well apparently everyone in the area thinks so too. Anytime, ANYTIME Mrs. T goes anywhere with Baby B we get the weirdest confrontations I've ever seen. These confrontations range from a drunk lady bum trying to kiss Baby B, to a creepy old man seriously asking to hold her in Wal-Mart, to a jehovahs witness telling me I'm a bad dad while touching Baby B's face WHILE WE WERE EATING AT A RESTAURANT! Now I know what you're thinking, that this couldn't really happen but it does and it's seriously bizarre. Throughout my life I've known several baby's and seen hundreds of moms with their children, but I've never ever seen anything like the weirdness that is attracted to Mrs. T and Baby B!

The one Chronicle I'll leave you with is this........ Today while shopping at Wal-Mart Mrs. T was approached by 18 yes 18 different people all saying how cute and adorable Baby B is and out of the 18 there was 1 old man who asked what aisle Baby B was found on so he could pick one up!! That's just stinkin awkward! Not only did these 18 people come up and interrupt Mrs. T's shopping and make her feel completely awkward but most of them felt they had to tell Mrs. T their whole life story! Weird just WEIRD!

This is just a taste of what happens so tune in for weekly updates on The Chronicles of Weirdness!
