Blessings And Confession

   Welcome to my office. I am so blessed to be living in such a beautiful place. My job working at home is the best. Yesterday I took 300 photos of items that I will be listing into my shop, most of them outside. Ya it was a lot of work. But I took my little wifi sound box out with me and played classical music while I did the shoot. It was so peaceful as I watched the little birds fluttering around me and chirping along to the music. The weeping willow that I was shaded under has no leaves right now, but I see the little leaf buds springing up on the branches. Soon it will be full of small green leaves and the branches will be flowing and draping down like a big beautiful umbrella. I love this tree! 

 Today as I drove into town to drop of my orders at the post office I was amazed at the beautiful snow glistened mountains. Such beauty. Before you know the snow will melt and the rivers will be flowing strong. Can't wait for hiking season. Actually I was thinking about putting my snow boots on and taking a walk around my favorite lake. It is really peaceful around the back side with the hallway of aspen trees guiding you on a boardwalk where you can watch the river flow into the lake. I am in aw of my creator God. What a master artist He is! Anyway...after my shopping on the way home I was in deep thought of my grandchildren. How I long to see my little Sebastian who lives far way in another state. He is almost 4 months old. And my little Celseste' whom I saw born into this world. She will be 3 months old soon. I was remembering how God spoke to me on the day Celseste' was born. Through her birth He reminded me of my re-birth in Christ. You see, recently I went through a severe depression and I felt as if there was no need for me being here. Oh my husband, what love and compassion he had on me as those couple of years where very hard for both of us. I think he did not know what to do other than pray. When I saw the birth of my granddaughter, my purpose for life was revealed once again to me. I am here because I am loved by Him, He has given me new life and because of that I need not wallow in self pity. Today I am healed and continue to trust my life in His hands no matter the circumstances. He is my strength. Life is a journey, there will be good and bad, there will be sadness and happy times. One of the things I learned from this particular trial is that nothing can take my joy, no trial or tribulation can take away the joy I have in Jesus.

 Be thankful for all things good and bad. Learn from your life experiences and make that change that needs to be made. Behind every face is a story and only you and God know exactly what it entails. Leave it in His hands and be free.

 On another subject...I made a sale today! I had just listed a necklace that I found on Ebay and 5 minutes later it sold. Wow, I am so thankful. So I am done for the day. Having leftover chicken for dinner with salad. Maybe do a little crochet tonight to wind down. It really is relaxing ya know. Hey, anyone watch American Idol? I am so disappointed this year on how the audience voted. I do have a couple favorites though. I guess we'll see how it goes. You all have a good evening.
