stop the sun and moon

-
This morning Andrew dropped me off at Starbucks for my weekly visit with Niki, but it was about a half hour early so i got my drink and hunkered down in a comfy chair to read the Bible. I am reading thru Joshua currently and today was chapter 10.
Growing up in church i have heard all the stories at least once in my life but i love how God totally gives you something new as you continue to seek and read his word even if you heard it over and over.
Joshua is a book of battles, taking over the promise land then defending it. A great storyline for an epic film it truly is. I mean as i read today about God causing the SUN AND MOON TO STAND STILL IN THE SKY! Together! What? I love how just before it in verse 11 in the NASB it says that "the Lord threw large stones from heaven on them..." and THEN he stops the sun and moon so they can finish the job!
Its amazing, surreal and unbelievable, except it is God and i fully believe. When you really think about the sun and moon stopping my brain goes into 'mom' mode of ok well if that is stopping than what is keeping gravity pulling, the waves still crashing and the weather not to destroy any part of the word cause its missing something....GOD TOOK CARE OF THAT!!!
WOW HE IS BIG!!!!
I LOVE IT!!
Woah! YEah!

What a mighty God we serve!!! What a mighty God we serve!!! Hope that song gets stuck in your head cause you read that now...and you will share with your family about the greatness of God!!!

So true...God is SO amazing. I read this sweet quote the other day that said: *They say that every snowflake is different. If that were true, how could the world go on? How could we ever get up off our knees? How could we ever recover from the wonder of it?* Amazing!

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

week not planned

This past week was something i didn't plan or ever hope for. Last thursday during staff retreat i started cramping in the abdominal area...pretty abnormally...went to the er ...andrew left school and got there right when i was being admitted at 10ish...spent all afternoon testing prodding and found something on my ovary...it was burst and i was internally bleeding...so at 8:30 i was in the surgery room having it removed laposcopicly...is that how you spell it? ;) by midnight andrew and i were checking out, heading home. Spent the weekend recovering which was weird in itself cause no one tells you about all the quirky things that happens to your body with all those meds and stuff. The worst one was the constipation that came from it. one word people "stoolsofteners'' ( i know its not one word its a partial quote from a movie) man oh man...if you have had surgery and your surrounding family made you eat and drink things that were nasty to help you recover and you by pas

This past weekend Kimmel's mom's side of the family got together to spend some christmas time together. His grandmother rented out this really sweet quaint cabin near lake Whitney. His uncle's family came in from Houston area which is fun cause we don't get to see them often. Everyone loved on lil Eleanor and all her cuteness. We took a walk down to the lake to check it out. As you can see its not a swimming hole but more of a tree spot. Got this fun picture of kimmel's rock he skipped :) And tried to take a picture of us with the timer... We had fun, exchanged gifts, ate great food and talked and laughed about their lives. Let the holiday's begin!! No more school for Kimmel...2 weeks of rest! :)
