Be Still and Know...Then and Now

It feels like my life may implode like in a science fiction movie. You all know when a black hole develops and a planet gets sucked in. There is a massive explosion followed by a brilliant celestial event. Well with all the activity over the last few days it feels like there is a black hole hovering just above my house and is about to reach critical mass any minute now…..I have had bad weather, vacation planning, shoe shopping, cloth shopping, grocery shopping, birthday party shopping, birthday party planning… Y’all all I have done over that last few days it seems is whip out the old debit card….more money please. Not to mention my Disciple closing and all with in a few days of each other. Y’all it was not intentional but it seems that all these things have sort of piled up in a heap and all need to be done all at the same time.

I’m a bit bleary eyed this morning as I blink away the fog from my sleep deprived brain. I spent the better part of the evening glued to the television set watching the tornadoes blow through our southern region. It was well past 2:00 AM before I felt comfortable enough to go to bed. As I was thinking about how to orchestrate all of us in the small hall bathroom I was calculating just how may sofa cushions would be necessary to cover us. And knowing without a shadow of a doubt that there is no way in the world that all three of us plus the dog will fit in my hall bathroom bathtub. At about 10:30 last night I had a conversation with Skoots1mom , her girl child was in the path of the storm and knowing your child is in harms way and you are not there to hold them in your arms even if that baby is a 20something well it breaks a momma’s heart. It strikes fear and an almost indescribable dread to fill you up. As I talked to Scoot's I was trying desperately to make a back up of all my fi

Well let get right to it! It was a good week around the Be Still and Know household except for one off morning which you will see mid week! No pictures on Sunday, April 17 Monday, April 18 They miss each other y’all, a little welcome home from school cuddle on the living room floor! Oh and I figured out what this is. It’s called Salvia!!! I like it and so do the Bee’s! Tuesday, April 19 We have been tearing up the Kohl’s card getting ready for vacation. I racked up $40.00 in Kohl's cash and I had a 30% off coupon, YEA for me. I got these two pairs of shoes, which will be perfect for all that vacation walking in my very near futures and a pair of comfy crop sweat pants for the plane ride, all for $35.00 dollars….I hate to shop but I love getting a good deal! Wednesday, April 20 Ever have one of those mornings??? Who hasn’t I was running late…. my gas gage was telling me something and I did not have time to make a stop to fill up The DD has taken to having a cup o

1. What are your plans for Easter Day/weekend? First we will go to church. He is Risen…Praise the Lord Y’all!!!!! We have not discussed our plans for Easter. We usually reserve Sunday’s for resting and relaxing, observing the Sabbath rest is so very important. Now that there are no little ones in my home any more the days Easter Egg hunts are no more. However the Easter Bunny will probably make a stop at our house with a basket for Muffinhead. 2. Besides Jesus, what one person from The Bible would you most like to meet and why? That’s a tough question. To start with maybe Paul, but then who wouldn't want to have a conversation with Peter or John or Matthew. However wouldn't you like to get Sarai perspective? What was she thinking when Abram came and told her to pack up everything and move from their home? Lastly, what mothers heart is not broken when we think about Mary? As a mother….I want to have a conversation with this precious woman. 3. What is one modern day convenience

I don’t know if this is true or not. It was one of those forward this email kind of things. I sure hope it is, but even if it isn't I loved the message!   Wouldn't this be great if it was taught in every school. A fifth grade teacher in a Christian school asked her class to look at TV commercials and see if they could use them in 20 ways to communicate ideas about God. Here are some of the results: God is like. BAYER ASPIRIN He works miracles. God is like. A FORD He's got a better idea.. God is like. COKE He's the  real thing. God is like. HALLMARK CARDS He cares enough to send His  very best. God is like. TIDE He gets the stains out others leave behind. . God is like. GENERAL ELECTRIC He  brings good things to life. God is like. WAL-MART He has everything. God is like. ALKA-SELTZER Try Him, you'll like Him God is like. SCOTCH TAPE You can't see Him, but you know He's there. God is like.. DELTA He's ready when you are. God is like. ALLS

Hey guys! I only missed one day this week so that’s a plus in my book. It was a week of mental vacation s and good and bad fairies, if ya read my post from yesterday then you know that I was not in my happy place. I am glad to repot that things in the Be Still and Know household have improved to the degree that I am no longer wishing evil fairies upon others, however I am reserving the right to recall them at will should the situation call for reinforcements. Moving on to the week in pictures…. Sunday, April 10 Buster is very adept at making sure he is readily available to snatch any thing that falls on the floor during meal preparation. Every once and a while I will try to fake him out with the odd piece of salad fixing's. Being the smart canine that he is he quickly caught on the my deception. You can’t fool him, not for long anyway! Monday, April 11 Meat Loaf Night…It was really good and I have another one in the freezer for later. We really needed some comfort food on M
