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".

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

My word for 2016: Happiness

Image
Hello and welcome to my first post of 2016! I'm a bit shocked at writing this post, as I I haven't picked a word for the year for myself for a few years. I hadn't planned on choosing a word this year till recently.  But because last year had SO many challenges for me and I gave so much of myself and felt so drained of energy by the end of the year. it just seemed appropriate to decide on a specific word for 2016. Definition from Dictionary.com "The state of being happy." synonyms: pleasure ,  contentment ,  satisfaction , cheerfulness,  merriment ,  gaiety ,  joy , joyfulness, joviality,  jollity ,  glee ,  delight , good spirits, lightheartedness,well-being,  enjoyment ;   exuberance ,  exhilaration ,  elation ,  ecstasy , jubilation ,  rapture , bliss,  blissfulness I've been reading and praying about the word - happiness - in Scripture, in Christian theological writings and blogs. I'm learning that happiness is not something God

Burn The Ships

Image
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

Spiritual Fervor

Image
  We go through our daily routines,  but something is missing. Maybe d uring a crisis or a major life change....            or simply spending less and less time on spiritual pursuits. ...these c an cause us to enter a time in life                          when there's just no enthusiasm or spark. Ha ve you ever been the re before? I have!! There are days when it is difficult to find the drive and zest, even when I know I have the greatest reason to be zealous . Lacking zeal or losing spiritual fervor is som ething that the believer needs to be aware of as he /she progresses in one's spiritual life.  As we grow in our knowledge of Biblical truths and the things of God it becomes quite familiar and the wonder of first discovery can diminish over the years. It is here that spiritual boredom can set in.  Zeal is a fruit of deeply abiding in the One Who is Life! It is different than mere excitement, which happens mostly outwardly and at the surfa
