when God smiles...

there are those moments when you feel like God is smiling down upon you. i have had several of those times. there was the time spent in the swiss alps, the day i married my hubby, the day my kids were born. recently, it seems like i've had a few more smiles from God. smiles that i believe are meant just for me. meant to touch my soul.
...the smile of dreams coming true. well, i'm still waiting for this to really happen, but we are watching it unfold in a way only God could do.
...the smile in simple celebrations.
...the smile in playing "guess which ornament" with our kiddos
...the smile of new beginnings
...the smile of new friendships - ones i believe i've been praying for
...the smile in old friends that get me, really get me - or atleast pretend to!
i feel so blessed. God really does enjoy us. i believe He enjoys watching us enjoy Him....and He really does have our best in His heart. and when God smiles down on you - say thanks and enjoy!

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
