Spiritually Healthy

So it's November! Can any else believe that we only have one more month until 2015?  How crazy is that? There is SO much going on in my life at this point in the year; mostly it has to do with work and keeping very busy - and active might I add.  :)  On to the memory verse!  It's another Psalm - the whole year's worth of memory verses are out the book of Psalms.  I'm not sure if I shared that with you before.  My verse to memorize this month is Psalm 75:1. [[To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm  or  Song of Asaph.]] Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks,  unto thee  do we give thanks: for  that  thy name is near thy wondrous works declare. Psalm 75:1 (KJV) To the Overseer. -- 'Destroy not.' -- A Psalm of Asaph. -- A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near  is  Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders. Psalm 75:1 (YLT) May you be bl...

"And he said to them  all, If any man  will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." Luke 9:23 "Deny yourself?  Now wait a minute, that's not what I signed up for when I became a Christian.  I thought that every thing would be just peachy; fine and dandy, that Jesus would make every thing better and easier - that He would fix my every problem." I regret to inform you that that is not the case. What does "denying yourself" actually mean? Well, for one thing it doesn't mean "once you take this pill all your temptations and hardships will just vanish", it is foolish to even think that. It frustrates me when Christians assume that as soon as they accept Christ as their savior, that all their issues will simply just go away.  Yes, we are a new creation in Him ( "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are past away: behold all things are become new." - 2 Cor....

Hello all! I apologize for the delay in my postings.  I'm having computer issues that's prohibiting me from posting pictures. :(  Sorry - I'm trying to get the problem fixed as soon as possible! Hope everyone is well and enjoying their week though! :) God bless, Sarah

So, the post has arrived! YAY!  Maybe the title of this post should be "So it began" because I'm sharing pictures of the week leading up the blessed event.   Besides this being an emotional ( hey, my brother is getting married!) trip, it was a wonderful time spent with family, dear friends, and now new family.  I am so very thankful for the time God blessed us with - even though we all ended up getting that nasty cold!   After going through all the pictures, I realized that this is going to have to be 3 separate posts - I hope you guys don't mind.    All the credit for these pictures goes to my sister, Abigail.  She did a wonderful job.  Enjoy! That steer's name is Bosco and he's a big one! These donkey's were SO cute, I wanted to take one home. I loved watching the horses eat on this chilly morning. Funny faces before church... Our bunkhouse name. "Seneca Crane" Hunger Games fans unite. A walk i...
