Just can’t sleep | Randomness

Rachel — Tue, 29 May 2012 07:37:00 +0000

Just can’t get to sleep. Not quite used to this and no matter how hard I try I can’t keep my eyes shut. I am usually the type who is out before my head reaches the pillow. I used to be the type who could drink half a pot of coffee and go right to sleep without any sleepless side-affects! But 6ish months ago I stopped drinking my daily 6 cups of joe…. So, tonight I had a cup and I feel like I could run a marathon! :) Great feeling but not at 2am….

Anywho, I ran across this verse yesterday and was so encouraged by it I just had to share with you all!

“You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.”

James 5:8

Beautiful isn’t it?!! The Lord’s coming is very near and I am extremely excited but until He returns(or I go, whichever comes first) I must be patient(not always the easiest thing) and stand firm. And it is my desire and prayer that I finish this race serving God acceptably with reverence and godly fear(Hebrews 12:28-29)! How about you? =)

Be encouraged because God is good!

P.S. One of my favorite flowers have made it’s first appearance in my back yard!! :)

“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:For our God is a consuming fire.”
Hebrews 12:28-29

Any one else having a hard time believing it isn’t Summer yet? Can’t believe it is still spring! Enjoyed a trip to town with my sisters today! It was a nice break from our regular daily work routine and the smoothies were just perfect for the hot weather. =)

Sisters + sunshine + delicious smoothies = fun ;)

“As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.”

Proverbs 26:1

WALK HUMBLY

“He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”

MICAH 6:8

^”And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”

Busy busy busy here! Work + home+ randomness have kept me moving non-stop. Glad to be busy and have something to put my hands to! :) Below is a short little video I made for GraciousMay & Snugars. thought I would share with you all. A little bit of a peak of what goes on behind the scenes! Finally starting to get the hang of my new video editor(thanking the Lord for that)!! :) Still have quite a bit to learn and like any other project, I have already found 1,001 things I would like to change/fix on this video. But, Lord willing, I will continue to learn!

View on Vimeo’s site(quality is better over there) to see the HD version!!

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

Or not! ;)

“For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.”

Rachel — Mon, 14 May 2012 18:20:09 +0000

Yesterday my mom decided she wanted to take a fishing trip. so after packing a picnic lunch we were off! Although I am not much of a fisher, I had tons of fun watching the kids fish and enjoyed the perfect weather. We were blessed with blue skies and sunshine! Now I have quite a few fresh fish to fry for dinner! :)

Sorry, tons of pictures…. I just couldn’t narrow down my selection! :)

To my Mother | Video

HAPPY happy Mother’s Day to my one and only, LOVING, CARING, DEDICATED Mom!!! :)

So blessed to have you as my mom! Thank you for your 30 years of mothering. :)

Bellow is my first ever kinetic typography experiment(yeah, I need to work on my kinetic typography skills). Made with tons of ♥ for my mom :) …. and a original poem by ME! Ahem A poem I so skillfully constructed. ;) Let’s just say I wasn’t as diligent as I should have been when studying the structure of poetry during my formal education… but it is the thought that count… right?! ;)

“Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
²⁹“Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”
³⁰Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.”

Psalm 31:28-30
