Start At The Beginning


If I could put into words the awesome faithfulness of my God this last year, then I would. But I said I would start at the beginning and so shall. New, that is what he makes everything and it is wonderful. Without renewal life would be so dreary and lacklustre, and so I stand here at the start and marvel at the seeds that are sprouting. Beholding the promises and knowing that only by his love I can completely grasp their meaning. Because it is his kingdom, his and only his that I want to live in. And I say that and I live another thing so often but I am determined to just keep looking up from myself and someday the looking down will fade and I will only stare into heaven. Not just times when the curtains are opened and then slowly draw closed again but an eternity of his glory. So yes he is faithful. And that is what I want to be.

Sarah -

So glad you are doing well. I have a couple of blogs I enjoy reading each day - as I checked them over the last few months, I was also checking yours - so you were prayed for every day as I clicked on your blog! How wonderful to be able to place you and your family in God's hands on a daily basis! I am hoping there is a way for you to save your blog, like to disc (I am computer illiterate!), so in case something unforeseen happens to your blog, you will still have it all safe somewhere - such wonderful reflections through photos and words of this time in your life. Here in NJ we have just had our 4th or 5th snow - 10 inches last night. My husband is out clearing the driveway with our old Ford tractor - secretly, I think he enjoys "playing" in the snow! :-) God bless you, Sarah.

P. S. - if you are ever in NJ during your travels, I hope you will look us up!

Hi Sarah -

Praying for you! We have snowdrops up in our yard and a purple crocus in the ivy near our mailbox and we can hear the spring peepers in the swampy areas down the road. It's 58 degrees and I really think Spring is on the way - the air feels and smells wonderful - we have had a lovely light rain off and on most of the day - just beautiful. Hope Spring is finding you, too. God is good.

Our pie cherry trees are bursting - I have frozen some, but need to get down to the important business of making cherry pie! :-)
