Let me see if I can figure this out

I'm sitting here wanting memories to teach me, to see the beauty of the world through my own eyes I thought that you were gone, but now I know you're here with me. You are the voice that whispers all I need to hear. I was sitting here. Thinking of all these things that I am blessed with. All things, and changes that I see God making in my life and in the lives of people who I love. And I could cry. In fact, I almost do. I just wanted to post and talk about all the ways that God has blessed me. But I can't talk so much about other people's personal lives on a live blog. Hah I just have seen all these things. I feel like when I post on here sometimes, my posts are all about God and loving him and trusting him. I hope no one mistakes me for some kind of saint. Cause the thing is, even when I post this stuff or just because I'm posting this or that is what God puts on my mind at such a particular time, does not mean I am perfect or have it all figured out. And I get wor...

Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

When I read this I am reminded that I don't have to measure up to any standard. Sometimes I feel like I just don't measure up as a christain as a follower of Christ...I sin, heck I often don't even try...I stumble and slip, and I get so down on myself for not even coming close. But then I am reminded, in this verse that is meant to give comfort to the weary and heavy laden and then God reminds me, "Jesus...

Oh happy day! I went home this weekend for Sarah Young (now Sarah Drake) and Benjamin Drake's wedding. It was the most lovely state of affairs I've ever seen. A bit chaotic beforehand. My brother Leeland was driving, and on our way to the ceremony, he rear-ended some car in front of us and the front hood was annihilated. I couldn't believe this was happening 15 minutes before the wedding. I was completely stressed out. Leeland was too of course, the last thing he needs right now is to pay for new car damages. But sadly this is how it went. So I called Pam and she rushed to the scene, but we had no time to stop and goggle, we had a wedding to attend. Leeland had to stay behind and tend to the car and talk with the police. I felt almost guilty leaving him there in the dust, but I was determined to make it to that wedding. Leeland said he would just meet me at the reception. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the ever reliable Peter, and it made perfect sense to me that he was an ...
