Hump Day!!



Hello everyone! How have you all been?
Me? Well, all I can say is
"Yesssss...it's hump day!"
The weekend is coming and I'm really looking forward to it! Not that I have anything planned, except to hopefully FINALLY get our new tub out of our living room and into the bathroom (yes, we are remodeling!). I'm just really looking forward to some time of rest and relaxation. Between the remodeling and work, I have been exhausted all week. Plus, some ongoing family issues have caused me to have difficulty getting good sleep at night, soooo, a little R and R sounds really good!

We've had some really extreme weather over the past few days, too. Yesterday was just plain cold, rainy, and gloomy. I always have trouble getting stuff done on days like that.
Today has been a whole different story. Sunny and in the upper 50's (which is good for us this time of year.)

How about you all? 
Do you have any big plans for the weekend?

Think I'll leave you with a verse and picture that will hopefully encourage you this week...maybe even give you a little energy. If you are like me, you may need a "Scripture boost".

"It is the Lord who goes before you. 
He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. 
Do not fear or be dismayed."
Deuteronomy 31:8

    Remodeling, is often not fun while everything is out of order, but as our lives there are times we also go through a time of restructure. Thank you for sharing your inspiring post with us here at “Tell Me a Story." I love your Autumn photo - it is lovely!

    Hi Ann! Well, it's Saturday already... I'm looking forward to seeing your before and after pictures! I've loved watching your cute house reshape over these past couple of years! And, I love seeing your seasonal decorations! Whenever I come to Christ in the Clouds, I ALWAYS click on the Cairn Cottage link to find out what's new! :-) Hey, we should do a blog Christmas Home tour again this year! But, I digress...my plans for this weekend: play with our new kittie, Sophie, encourage Roy as he installs a new exhaust fan above the stove, go for a walk...relax. That's about it! Blessings & hugs! Joan

Advent(Dec. 9): Surprise Gifts

  Now Israel  loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,  because he had been born to him in his old age;  and he made an ornate   robe  for him.   When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him  and could not speak a kind word to him. When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge  against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”   So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions  before he died:   ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins  and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’  Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father. ” When their message came to him, Joseph wept. But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?   You intended to harm me,  but God intended ...

Burn The Ships

The beginning of a New Year often has us looking back and seeing how God has walked with us in the past and contemplating the year ahead .  We tend to want to hold on to the familiar, the easier path, the old ways....but these often become unhealthy, and even dangerous for us to continue down some paths/have relationships with some people in our lives. When we become aware of these different paths/people in our lives that can hinder/harm us, we may need to "rise from the dust and walk away".  "Burning the Ships" can be SO difficult(maybe even excruciating.)  I don't know about you, but FEAR often has kept me from burning the ships and moving ahead. Fear of rejection, fear of what others will think, fear of being alone, fear of not knowing the future. But, God reminds us that He will never leave us, nor forsake us. He is our source of strength. And He holds the future and will take care of us!! “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageou...
