The Simple Things

Today, I had a wonderful day with my husband. I enjoy hanging out with him. We are easily entertained by the smallest things. This afternoon, the weather was gorgeous out side so we went for a walk on my favorite trail. I took photos with my phone to test it out. It takes pretty good wide angle shots but does not have a zoom. (not the best photo of me) Here are some shots from the trail. After, we walked we went to Menchies and I got Sorbet with delicious fruit. It was a fun and restful day.

Contentment vs. Coveting

Lately, I have been learning how to be content. This season, God has been teaching me to be patient, yet not give up on my dreams. It is so easy to feel discouraged when things do not go as planned or circumstances cause things to take longer than planned. How do you respond to disappointments? If things don't go your way how do you react? Those are some of the questions that have been running through my mind. How do you remain content with your life, yet not become stagnant or spiritual lazy? Think of a seedling. It is small and still growing, yet has a long life ahead. It might not appear to be that promising, yet at any moment it could grown strong and tall. Likewise, God gives us growth spurts when we least expect it. We need to not be overcome with discouragement but instead focus on the hope Christ has given us.

A Berry Nice Day

Yesterday, I picked berries with a friend. When I was a kid, my parents would take myself and my siblings to the farm to pick berries, vegetables, etc. My mom canned the produce and made amazing jam. I hope to learn these skills and pass them on to my future children. It was quite an adventure picking berries. We found a birds nest and a bees hive in the plants. The birds nest was so perfect in form. Smooth and round it looked as if a craftsman had formed it. God is so creative. He created animals who know how to provide a home and care for their babies. We spent about 3 1/2 hours picking berries, both blueberries and rasberries. I plan to make rasberry jam and freeze the blueberries so I can bake with them throughout the year. All in all, it was a very fun day. My friend and I plan to go to another farm soon in the future.

First Blog..

I have recently been inspired by the many blogs I have found online. There are so many helpful tips and advice about cooking, couponing, organizing etc. Thus, I have decided to post my thoughts on life and my experiences I encounter. Also, writing is my means of expressing myself and slowing myself down. This is just the beginning of many blogs to come. Welcome readers.
