February is finally over! For the shortest month, it sure took it's time getting to the end. There were long trips to Dr's., for Zac, in another state. Several tests to be taken. Everyone had the flu at some point in the month. The usual grind of every day things. And the threats of job losses. At one point, in the month, it was ....well it was a stressful month.
Hopefully, March will not be as chaotic. We do have the Lion,Lamb thing that always equates with March. I ,for one, am looking forward to a new month. Either Lion or Lamb, I welcome you!

Photo Tag!
My friend, Sherry , has tagged me for this game. I am to go to my 6th photo file on my computer and post the 6th photo. Then I am suppose to tell a little about the picture. Well I am pretty new to adding pictures to my computer. Although I do have a few. After filing them in folders, I realized I do have quite a few pics. I just need to categorize them. So now I have like 9 different files! So here is the 6th picture in my 6th file.
These two cool kids are Zac and Nadia, and are my grand children. Well two out of the ten. And the one child with no hair belongs to Nadia. She won't go anywhere without her. It was winter 2008 and we were out looking for wood for the wood stove. The temps were down in the teens. We live in Northern Nevada and it gets very cold! So we bundled up, and headed out to the trees down the street that were chopped for fire wood. You can see the collection gathered prior to the picture, behind them. Yeah, the wood is only twigs,but they thought they were logs. And the table top was,... just there. Oh, and the sun glasses, either they mock me or are just trying to be cool like me! I jest. The sun was really glaring on what snow was already on the ground. So we all wear them.

Loving today!
Today is a beautiful day! The house is all nice and quiet. The clouds are rolling in. I'm hoping a little rain. We really need it. It is just one of those days when I can't decide if I want to curl up and read a book or go to sleep. I don't have any children to watch today, since it's mom's day off. So Grandma has the whole day to herself. Right now, the hubby is still snoring away, the kids are gone, and outside its still and quiet, except for the feed truck for the cows going by. (I live on a dairy) Yep, I am loving it! Today at 3:30, all chaos will erupt. That's when the older kids get in. Gonna go enjoy the solitude, for now.

Psalm 119:25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
Finally the cold and coughs are subsiding around here. It has been jumping from one person to the next. The only one whole seems to have not caught it, is now showing a few symptoms here. Poor guy.
Well, My word for this year is still"revive" I so want to be back in full time service for the Lord. How I miss the sweet time of fellowship. I miss my Sunday school girls. Oh how much I miss them and the joy of the Lord I got to share with them every Sunday. I miss singing. How I enjoyed that. Singing to the Lord always makes the heart feel better. I know my singing isn't all that good, but God loves a willing heart. I am still actively looking for a place that shares my same beliefs, but there seems to be a famine in this part of the land. So as my desire grows stronger, I have begun to study at home. I am still looking for a good church out here, but the churches are lacking. They don't sing hymns anymore. Just the repetitious stuff that I am not real comfortable with. They study from several different Bibles . And personally, I am having a hard time getting used to drums in the church. But I am still looking. I just cannot drive the 30 miles to the next town to start looking there. I am still looking though.
Lately I have been looking on line at several different bible studies on the internet. I have been pretty surprised at how much is really available. Yes, I know that I am forsaking the assembling.....but I am still working on it. Meanwhile I am home studying. It's not that bad. So I am getting revived, just a little differently that what I am accustomed. I am so glad that God is with me.
As I continue to search for my worship home, I will continue to be revived by God's word. I am so blessed that I have that much.
