the house sleeps!

How is it that the house can go from a rambuctious, loud cacophony of noises to absolute quiet in a matter of minutes?  I can only hear the clicking of the keys and the ceiling fan whirling while just a few moments earlier I could hear the TV in the next room, Sarah's music drifting down the hall, the puppy barking ,etc......

Wish sleep would not elude me!  I am so sleepy at 5:30 p.m. and wide awake at 10:30~  I know that exercise would help me but I seem to always put it off until TOMORROW.  I sound like Scarlett O Hara.

today--I choose!

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." -Romans 15:13


In the quiet of the morning, I choose to trust Him!  How is it that my emotions swing so wildly from thankful to pouty after yesterday's wonderful Sunday service?  So quickly my emotions swivel from thankfulness to pettiness.  My frustrations with unmet expectations or family members who let you down!  I simply take my eye off of Him!  So once again, this morning,  I cling to this verse in Romans.  My God of hope will fill me with all joy and peace AS I TRUST IN HIM.  I can't forget the last part :)


I hear the puppy whining down the hall; he wants to get into the boy's room to wreck havoc and wake the 14 yr old giant. I must sign off!
