Devotional

If you can read it this was my devotional earlier in the week. It's amazing how God will give me encouragement when I need it.

Fabulous Friday

Well it's been a fast paced week!!

Wednesday not only was the first day of school for my new first grader, we took our daughter to open house at the pre-k she will start in another week. (Allow momma a moment to sniffle and wonder where the time has gone???)  Since then we've tried to perfect bed times, waking up earlier, and getting places on time. So far we've mastered none at this time.

Right now I'm listening to two little boys and one big kid (aka my Husband) play video games. It's kind of fun to see how excited the boys get at the game. Landon's got a friend over that's spending the night.

Well I better go because I gotta work the gate at the football game tonight, then tomorrow I'm taking Landon and his friend out to get a uniform for scouts, and then hopefully not much after that but some good family time before my classes start again on Monday.

Have a great weekend, and God Bless!!

First day of first grade

Thankful for the rain

Rainstorms are God's songs
With the soft pitter-patter of the first drops
To the sound of the wall of water as it rolls in
With the bass of the thunder.

The melodies of the birds as they play in the rain
The snare of the rain hitting the tin roof
The harmonies of the wind
And the sound of the cars splashing through the puddles

What a beautiful sound God has created
A song no one can equal
As prayers are answered
And life renews

- just a small town girl on the go

Wordless Wednesday

One Life to Love

I think this song is an older song by 33miles a Christian band, but I discovered it today and fell in love. It' been on repeat since I downloaded it onto my phone.

One Life To Love

He never thought he cared so much about the minute hand
Until he started praying for, a second chance
If he could only do it all again
He'd trade the long nights that he spent behind his desk
For all he missed

He tells his wife "I wish that this moment in this room was not me dying, but just spending a little time with you."

You only get just one time around
You only get one shot at this
One chance, to find out
The one thing that you don't wanna miss
One day when it's all said and done
I hope you see that it was enough, this
One ride, one try, one life...
To love....

She never thought she cared so much about those little hands
That held on tight the day she left
Til she was scared to death
Sitting all alone on a hotel bed, the end of the road
The sun had set on her big plans

To feel young again

She picks up the phone, dials the number, hears that little voice
That's haunted every single mile, since she made that choice

You only get just one time around
You only get one shot at this
One chance, to find out
The one thing that you don't wanna miss
One day when it's all said and done
I hope you see that it was enough, this
One ride, one try, one life...
To love............

You only get just one time around
Only get one shot at this
One chance, to find out
The one thing that you don't wanna miss
One day when it's all said and done
I hope you see that it was enough, this
One ride, one try, one life........
One ride, one try, one life........
To love....
To love....
mmmmmm......




What a song to remind you how short this life is and how each moment is precious...

Oh Summer Where Have you Gone?!?

I can't believe in a few weeks the kids will be starting school!! It's just crazy how fast this summer has flown by. Can we start over?!? I've been MIA from the blogging world because my two classes, kids, hubby, and house has taken over my life. But hope to be back now... Here are just a few photo reminders of our summer.. We've had a blast!!
