I have a new blog that I've been working on over the last few weeks. I actually opened it back in October of 2011, with the goal to have it ready to publish the first week of January. As I often do, I've procrastinated a little. But, now it's up and running.
I would love for you to check it out and if you desire, share it with others. The idea behind the Dancing upon Injustice blog is explained in the first post.
Nothing will change here. I'll still update sporadically, as usual. :) This will still be our blog for stories about our family.
The new one is more of an adventure. Something I just need to do.

Learning Lessons
I've been working through some things lately. Lessons I've learned, but a couple of situations caught me off guard and left me having to remind myself what He's taught me. I'm not a fan of being caught off guard. :) On the week I was struggling the most and spent the most time praying through it, God gave me some great encouragement through the following articles and through a page in the devotional I'm working through. These articles are such precious reminders of His graciousness and His desire to be in relationship with me. He knew what I needed and He provided it. Obviously. Clearly. Through His people who didn't even know they were being used for that task.
This is something that is a little hard to share aloud because it's still pretty personal and I just don't have the right words for how precious it was, but He is so good.
I'm posting these articles here so I have a quick link to them, but also because I've learned over the years that we all struggle with the same kinds of things, we just don't always talk about it. So, most likely, there is someone else that could use these gentle reminders as well.

Day 30
Today I'm thankful for Santa's White Christmas coffee. I made a pot this morning and it just felt like the Christmas season was here.

Day 29
"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.” -C.S. Lewis
Today I'm thankful for friends. Friends that are available, real, funny, accepting, loving and that make my life better. What a true gift.

Day 22-28
And I was doing so well! Anyway, here are days 22-28.
Day 22- With a little help from my people, we were packed, the house was cleaned and the pies were ready the night before we left for our trip. (That's a big deal around here.)
Day 23- We had a safe, fun ride down to Florida. We found a chick fil a with a clean play area for lunch and were able to meet Todd's mom and dad in St. Augustine (they were there for an anniversary trip) for dinner.
Day 24- My 83 year old grandmother who still cooks everything, except the pecan pies, for Thanksgiving lunch. I try to help every year, but she won't hear of it. Well, she will let me clean the kitchen when we're done. :)
Day 25- A lazy day- we did a little late morning shopping, but for the rest of the day we just visited and watched the kids play.
Day 26- A walk on the beach.
Day 27- Safety on the trip home, good traveling kids and netflix on the droid.
Day 28- Rainboots and raincoat for Gabe- he loved splashing in all the puddles while we were running errands today.

Day 20 & 21
Day 20
Today I'm thankful for new friends. We went out to lunch with a family that we have met recently at church. It was fun to get together, learn more about each other and watch our kids play.
Day 21
Today I'm thankful for stores are open early so I can make 5:30am runs when we run out of milk. It's so easy for me to take those things for granted. By the way, there are a lot of really friendly, morning people that work at our Walmart.

Day 18 & 19
Day 18-
Today I'm thankful for a sweet friend who made a surprise "stop by" with treats and to visit for a few minutes.
Day 19-
Today I'm thankful for two teenage girls who gave up their Saturday night to bake lots and lots of cookies for the Firehouse Shelter. It's a blessing to know and spend time with these precious girls.
