Earthly-Prophet

My husband lives like he's the lorax. He doesn't take more than he needs, he would plant a tree every two feet if I allowed it, and he forces us to recycle everything! His shoes are about as earthly as they come!

Lift-Hear

PHOTO A DAY: Lift

When I'm having a bad day at work, walking away from my desk, getting some fresh air and ordering a latte from Biggby's is a tremendous lift!!

PHOTO A DAY: Hear

Sometimes I wonder if I'm truly listening when He's whispering to me.  I feel pretty confident that I have trained myself to listen when He's yelling at me, but I'm still working on hearing the nudges and the whispers.   In Sunday school this week, we wrote letters to God.  All of them were great, but one of the kids really nailed it.  The student didn't want to take it home, so I did.  Now it's in my Bible.  I'll have this reminder the next time that I don't want to wake my little monsters up and wrestle their clothes on.  I'll have it the next time that I don't HEAR the whispers. 

 

 

 

 

Cover

PHOTO A DAY: Cover

We want to appear to be put together, but not too put together.  You know, mismatched but actually matched.  I said no pinterest, but I have to take a picture of a pinterest screen to show this...because I can't do the "mismatched but actually match" thing!




























We want to cover the flaws, but not look fake.




























We want to be warm, but not forget the chill.




Cover the spread. Cover one's ass.  Cover the ground. Take cover. Under cover.

Good word for a Monday!

Praying for strong lungs and bright blue eyes

The type of news

you know the kind

your heart stops beating

and your head starts spinning

that helpless feeling

the paralizying emotions

they invade your body

producing tears and fears

bringing you to your knees

 

Because there's nothing,

nothing you can do

 

BUT PRAY. 

Fierce

bold

big prayers

for health

for strength

for mercy

for hope

for love

to feel His loving hand

always

Prayers to one of my beautiful friends and her baby boy who has decided that he wants to meet the world a bit early.  Prayers for strong lungs and big bright blue eyes.  So that he can introduce Mommy and Daddy to a whole new world of love.



 So far, so good:)  Baby Murphy is doing great!  2/25/13 5lbs 2oz 19 inches

I totally flipped when I walked in the house to this!  Not that they're building a fort...they are sitting on top of chairs on a cushion!!  "If they fall through, they'll learn!  You have to let them live a little!"

Hebrews 4:1-10

New International Version (NIV)

A Sabbath-Rest for the People of God

4 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. ² For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.^{[a] 3} Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,

“So I declared on oath in my anger,
‘They shall never enter my rest.’”^[b]

And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world. ⁴ For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”^{[c] 5} And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”

⁶ Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience, ⁷ God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted:

“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”^[d]

⁸ For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. ⁹ There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; ¹⁰ for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works,^[e] just as God did from his.
