A Belated Birthday Post!

Now that I am finally back 'online' again I am able to post pictures. So here is a very late birthday post from Benjamin's 1st birthday party over a month ago! We just had a little party for family at the apartment and he had a great time. He really had fun with the cake and all of his new toys too. My big boy is walking now also, which I can hardly believe. I'm afraid to blink these days!!

And lastly, a favorite of mine from the weekend!

God's blessings to you all!

Z is for Zowie!

 

I used to love watching episodes of the classic Batman TV series. I must confess, while I have seen a couple of the movies, they just don’t cut it for me. There was something pretty cool about Adam West as Batman/Bruce Wayne. I remember laughing uncontrollably when the fight scenes would start up…

ZOWIE!

POW!

ZAP!

KABOOM!

And then there are some of my most favorite classic lines from the different characters!

Catwoman: I’m not just pussyfooting around this time, Batman!

Batman: I’m just going to hang around the bar. I don’t want to look conspicuous.

Robin: Under this garb, we’re perfectly ordinary Americans.

The show held a perfect combination of mystery, intrigue, suspense and humor. I know that I still use the phrase ‘Holy (insert anything here) Batman!’ quite often.

And just like that, I have officially completed the A to Z challenge, and I was only 25 days late in doing so. Oh well, at least I can say I finished it. And in perfect time too…I now have a computer at home again (thanks to a friend from church) so I will be able to get back to blogging more regularly and visiting all of you as well.

God’s blessings to you all!

Y is for You Alone

I have just come from an amazing retreat weekend with the women at my church. God completely filled me and fully equipped me with His Holy Spirit, armed and ready for all that is before me. I feel renewed, refreshed, revitalized and completely in awe of the greatness of our God.

Early Saturday morning, I had some quiet prayer time and was sitting in a little room at the retreat center, with big picture windows overlooking the beautiful grounds. I had just finished reading a devotional book and was starting to journal and just praying for God to break through all of life’s ‘not so great’ circumstances….I looked up and outside just as the wind was starting to pick up. As the wind blew forcefully through the trees, carrying the branches to and fro, I heard God whisper to me ‘Even the wind cannot blow without Me.’ Tears began to fall as I was immediately humbled and questioned ‘Who am I’? Who am I to question God’s faithfulness, His promises, His sovereignty over all? Without Him, I am absolutely nothing. He continued to remind me throughout the retreat weekend just how very big He is, that there is NOTHING that is beyond His reach.

For You alone are God, You alone are good.

God’s blessings to you all today!
