Happy Sunday!

Despite my very best intentions, I haven't blogged in a couple of days.  I think one  of the main reasons I have held off is because I am trying to figure out how I want this to go.  I am very bad about overthinking  things.  Add that to my perfectionism, you can probably figure out why I make  everything so complicated.

I decided on Sunday's I might make it my "faith" or "about God" post.  I have been doing the Bible Study Fellowship (BSF - wonderful Bible studies) study on Isaiah this year.  I have read the book of Isaiah before, but I don't think I really understood all of the ramifications.  Some people find Isaiah very difficult to digest.  They also find it depressing.  I have to say for all of the punishment God bestows on His people in this book of the Bible, I have to say the most prevailing  message I have gotten is one of encouragement and promise.  If you haven't read this book of  the Bible, I really encourage you to do so.  One of the questions for today was "what person do you know personally who has had the most affect on you because of God's light showing through them?" or something  to that affect.  I thought about it for a along time, and I ended up saying that God has always been my light.  I came to faith at the age of 10, and I have to say for some reason God was just there for me.  I never doubted He heard me when I prayed.  If you asked me how I knew this at such a young age (and growing up in a home where going to church was an irregular occurrence at best), I would have to say I really don't know.  I just knew.  . . . and I remember when I prayed literally focusing on a light.   I have to say I don't know where I would be without God.  He has held  me up more times than I can count. 

Here are today's photos:







I will be back soon.  I will give you an easy recipe next week at some point.  It is a wonderful casserole - easy and yummy.  The recipe is one my Mom gave me.  She was an awesome cook.  Miss you, Mom!

Oh and Casey, thanks so much for being the first person  to follow my blog!  Love you!
