To Remember April

by admin on July 17, 2017 in Bits Of My Personality, Book Flavor, I'm A Librarian!, Life Keeps Changing, Little Things with No comments

Late March our provincial government announced libraries were no longer necessary (contrary to sound stats and research).   April arrived with promise of difficulty.  It was a month I had hoped to celebrate being back at work for 1 whole year, and in my dream job too… small town librarian, after a 15 year break!  Instead it was a month of fighting for my job and my children’s right to learn freely and enjoy community freely.

I am just going to put a couple posts here that I wrote but didn’t share on my blog.  I was very emotional through it all but now I think I will want to remember this time.

Does Life Foreshadow Eternities’ Satisfaction?

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path.
~Psalm 119-105 (ASV)
After an incredibly relaxing morning with the family I reflected on how often my hopes don’t appear to line up with my determination to be surrendered completely to God’s direction and purpose in life.  Of course the mystery for me is that often this has indeed proven to not be the case, and a heart desire ended up being completely fulfilled in an unexpected way as I trusted in Christ Jesus and lived in him.  That being said, the ache is real until one knows, until one clearly sees.  With this preliminary explanation I now direct you to my slightly overly poetic musing below.

Walking on Painfully Aware

It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
~Ecclesiastes 7:2

Thanking God The Dishwasher Broke!

9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 11 not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

~Romans 12: 9-12~ (Authorized KJV)

I recall a line from a quote, meant to be inspirational, that goes something like this, ‘be grateful for dirty dishes for they mean your family is feed’.   This little blurb has been coming to mind a lot more of late… as my dishwasher has been broken for months now.

Life is Push-y

IT IS DECEMBER!  Oh my, I just keep looking back to post on here and that wasn’t my plan.  I usually write to work through my present ‘mind stuff’ but to be straight with you… a touch of anxiety mixed with laziness has given me a bad case of the ‘I don’t cares or think I shouldn’t care… or should I care…’ about this blog.  So maybe my next post will be a run down about our autumn.  Today I am going to spill a little of myself.

soccer mom, cheer leader… who naps at the side lines ;)

Where did May go?  Swallowed up by the craziness of sport… soccer to be exact.  I just thank the Lord we set limits years ago.  Fall the girls can pick AN activity and then spring is the boys turn.  Still, with just the boys in soccer it has been a five to six nights a week gig.

Sewing, Gummy Worms and Saving Old School Wisdom cuz It is Still Wisdom!

We had a weekend of spring fun all planned out, soccer practice, work in the yard… and then a spring snow storm arrived bring a serious damper on our plans.  Snow storms in spring are much like a rainy day in summer, faces get pouty and moods can get antsy, thus this mom declared a crafting day!

Rubber Boots Required

by admin on March 30, 2015 in Adventure and Me, Bits Of My Personality, Feeling It (Thankful), Life Keeps Changing, Little Things, The Pet with 1 Comment

“Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord;

his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.”

~Hosea 6:3~

My morning walk was so warm and comfortable and calm.  Rubber boots required and this fact made it clear that spring does indeed come to the prairies each year.  No matter how long the winter seems it ends in a damp season full of mud and pot holes in the road but no bugs, no blistering hot summer sun and very little yard work!  I got teary eyes on the way home.  I was thankful that if by chance I was spotted the prairie winds are always a good explination for watery eyes.

No Offense

Heard it said again today, in the context of learning to be slow to take offense and quick to forgive, that ‘refusing to forgive is like drinking poison and waiting for the one who wronged you to die’.  This is true.
