growing

The purpose of prayer is not convince God to change your circumstances but to prepare you to be involved in God's activity.

Rather than focusing on what you would like to see happen, realize that God may be more concerned with what He wants to see happen in you.

just a little off





i'm liking pics of me and the Mr. that are just a little "off."
first, it's reminding me that i really need to invest a tripod.

second, they somewhat reflect our marriage.
it's not perfect, but at least we're enjoying the journey.

my Freedom,

my Reason,

my Savior,

that's what You are to me.

You free me, complete me,

my Savior

that's what You are.

There's no other like You,

there's no one besides You.

You're more than my heart can contain.

And I will love You all my life.

You are my Reason, the One that I live for.

And I will love You all my life

For You are my Reason,

You're the One that I live for.

so long, summer

you're gone to soon

but please grant me just one more dip in the pool...

buying & selling online - the black hole


i did my first online sell this summer. i got an email saying that someone had bought my old canon a540 camera on amazon for $110. i bought it for $50 and decided to sell it a year later. it was a surprise that someone was willing to buy it and i got all happy inside.
well that cash was used to buy my husband a birthday gift, which i also found online.

the thrill of my first online sell soon led to me selling a couple of things i own like bags and textbooks. the terrible thing about that is i keep searching online for things to replace it with like a new camera that i don't need, or a new bag that i don't need (which i got anyway), or new books that i don't need. good golly. it's like a buying and selling black hole.

the point is: it's pointless to put your money is things that rot.

But amass wealth for yourselves in Heaven, where neither the moth nor wear-and-tear destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
{ matt 6:20 }

instead, invest your true riches (time, energy, health, love, hugs, kisses) to things that matter most (family, friends, God, his Word, his Kingdom).

still, i need to give ebay and amazon a shoutout for my new found dollars. now to give it back to them to buy my dad's 50th birthday gift.
it never ends...
