Every year it is like my body has to re-adjust to the heat. The first few weeks I feel so sluggish it is like there is something wrong with me!
It is fun to have my water bugs back in the creek, the pool and the lake! Caleb thinks it is really cool to jump in and out of the pool and climb in and out at the steps. Jeb went off the diving board on his first trip to the pool (no vest on) and swam to the ladder...I, of course, was right there beside him...just in case...in fact, one time I tried to help him and he pushed me away...yikes..he is growing up!
We had fun hanging out at the pool with Granny and Myra and Randy. They are so sweet and we are so blessed to have them close. Their new Quizno's will be opening soon on Hwy 81 in Anderson! We can't wait for the VIP pary! We are VIP--hee hee! The good news is they have turkey--so Jeb will eat.
Our cuz's moved to El Paso, but we are SKYPING them now! It is fun stuff. It was not that hard to hook up and Jeb and Noah also chatted this morning. Jeb showed him a lot of animals!
I have 2 new wrinkles. I have had smile wrinkles for a while and I am cool with that since they are in a GOOD place. Now, I have 2 wrinkles around my eyes---I guess from squinting...so sad. My new resolution is to wear a hat every time I am outside this summer--or so I am going to endeavor to anyway. I think my face gets too much sun since the boys want to go out all morning and all afternoon and all evening these days.
I have been thinking more about trusting God and his sovereignty this new year. It is a daily thing to cast all my cares on him and not take them back! I have been reading Come Thirsty by Max Lucado and his chapter on angels really made me think today. Angels are truly one of the hardest God-cepts for me to grasp. I mean it seems cooky to think about angels walking or flying or whatever around me and such...I am glad since that means that God is with me, but it is still odd to believe. Oh well, such is faith itself, believing when you can't see...I think it is great that God says that angels...
guard those who fear him (Psa. 34:7)
rescue us
are in charge of us wherever we go (Psa. 91:11)
can wake us up and tell us what to do (Acts 12:7)
encamp all around us and deliver us (Psa. 34:7)
are stunned by us?? WOW...(1 Peter 1:12)
discuss God's wonderful plans for us--even though they were never saved--since they were never lost) Eph 3:10
are rejoicing and applauding with God (Luke 15:10)
I think knowing all this I should not have trouble trusting God...he sends his mighty and many angels to guard me all day? What a thought.
