Sunday No. 4

The first Sunday of May & we engaged fully in restfulness.  Isn’t God good to declare the Sabbath a day of rest?  I’m reminded of Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God.”  Our world is in love with being busy and at times I feel guilty for simply being still.  What a blessing for Abba Father to take care of us so sweetly by giving us a pass to rest.

Coach & I made the decision this week to disconnect our satellite and use Netfix exclusively.  We found ourselves mindlessly watching television {that on many occasions was not edifying} instead of engaging with each other or completing needed tasks.  Finally last Monday Coach pulled the plug and called to disconnect our service. Not only are we saving money but we are also rediscovering things we love to do as well!

One of my rediscoveries was cross-stitch. I began my cross-stitch project I mentioned in my May goals yesterday.  The process helps me unwind and is so soothing!



the beginning

After a day of errands on Saturday Coach & I took the dogs out for yogurt at our favorite yogurt shop.  The pups loved not only the vanilla yogurt but all the attention from people other than their humnas.  It amazes me how quickly Dixie May can win over someone leery of German Shepherds.  Duke is a tad bit more reserved & completely content to let Dixie receive the majority of the attention but he is not one to pass up the offer of a treat.  We celebrated Duke’s 1st birthday today.  The last 12 months has been filled with chewed fence posts, gaping holes in the backyard, big cuddles, lots of licks and a new outlook on what patience really means.  He loves chew toys, any type of food, cuddling, obedience training & doggie daycare. Coach & I took our one-year old out to pick a new chew toy and some one-on-one loving.

happy 1st birthday Duke


The last six months God has been preparing our hearts for some life-changes.  We’re continuing to pray separately and together for Him to reveal His plan.  Through the process our marriage has been strengthened. It has been a sweet season in our marriage.
