God's Hands

Hello faithful followers! I can't believe it has been almost nearly 2 weeks since my last entry..

But here I am finally getting it going again....

So it's a little after 7 in the morning here and I'm all curled up in bed still. I was laying here just gazing out the window and am in awe of God's beautiful creation. I can hear the birds singing and see the leaves on the tress moving in the wind... I can feel the warmth beam of the sun hitting our room... I can see the clouds in all its different formations and shapes. How often do we just 'hold still' and look around us and praise God for the unfathomable creator He is? I know I'm guilty of doing it too little. Psalm 95:1‑7 "Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care."

Praise God!

Well we've actually been having a really great time out here in Arizona. I know were here under 'bummer' circumstances, but the Lord has just been showing us more and more that He is in control and we need to let Him be in control and trust in His plans for our lives. It's been a big learning experience; and I'm sure one we will never be able to fully master. Our flesh can be weak and it's so easy to 'doubt' God's plans for our lives, but it's been a huge reminder that our ultimate goal in life needs to always be JESUS. Our lives are in the hands of the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE... The same one who made all the beautiful things I see around me with just the command of His voice. How come we forget how BIG and how GREAT our God truly is? I know I put Him in a 'box' way too often, but I am so thankful to know that my life is in His hands, the Creator's Hands. Even if that means His hands are taking us places out of our comfort zone and out of our own plans. I wouldn't want to be in any other hands.

Well we've been loving our time with Will and Lauren. They are so much fun and we've really been blessed by them. Our days have been pretty ritual lately, Daniel and Will leave for the baseball field around 6 every morning and come home around 12 every day. Daniel and I bought an inflatable pool to keep cool in this Arizona heat so we've been in that a few times. Will and Lauren are big 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S' fans and we've officially been hooked! They have all the season DVDs, so we've been watching those. And I've been able to cook alot since we've actually been stable at a house. (during the baseball season, we're always in and out and getting home from games by 11 at night or are on road trips, so it's always hard to cook meals). So it's been fun to have some 'stability' these last few weeks, but I am getting excited to get things going again with the season. I think it will be a bitter-sweet feeling though because I am going to miss being here in AZ, but I am also just so excited to see what God has in store for Daniel and I. Daniel goes in for an X-ray today and we'll be able to find out more of the game plan and when Daniel should be back playing again (& I'll be sure to post the results).

Well I hope you all are doing wonderful and having a great day!!
I'll be back to post later after Daniel's Dr. appointment.
