Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Friends

I knew my new kit, "Love, the Greatest of These," would make really cute Valentine Cards!  And, I was right!  :D  IMHO, of course!

Tried by Fire

Tim and I watched a really good Christian movie, "Fireproof."  I highly recommend it!  There will always be times in your marriage where you disagree with your spouse, but it doesn't have to lead to divorce!  I'll never forget the time that our family was all in the car after school one afternoon.  Tim and I disagreed about something, not really thinking about what affect it would have on the kids, even though it was, I'm sure, a petty thing.  Nathanael, who was maybe 6 asked, "Does this mean you are going to get a divorce?"  I was shocked!  We explained that just because we disagree doesn't mean that we don't still love each other.  But that taught me a lesson to watch my words and try to watch the tone of my voice.  I'm the one whose voice usually escalates while Tim is very calm.  WHEW!  I hope the kids saw very few incidents like that!

I used my new kit, "Love, the Greatest of These."

Earth and Seas

I finally saw the Cardinal at the bird feeder that Michael told Tim he saw last weekend!  BEAUTIFUL is the only word to describe them!  I barely got a picture because he was sitting on the back side of the bird feeder away from the house and I was just able to catch this picture as the wind turned the feeder.  Today I cleaned the fish tank and as I was stirring up the debris some baby fish swam up out of the muck and mire.  I found 4, but one was barely alive and finally died.  The other momma fish looks like she could have babies any day.  I had planned on putting the older babies into the tank with the rest anyway today, but even more so since I had more babies!  It is hard to believe how much the older babies grew this past week!

I used my portion of a charity kit, Jesus Loves the Little Children.  I really like the bg paper!  Fits very well with today's pictures of the fish, too!

Heart and Soul

Jessica gave me a pretty box probably a year or more ago that I want to use as inspiration for a kit.  But, I haven't gotten "a round tuit" yet, lol!  I moved it closer to my computer desk thinking that might inspire me!  Not so much........yet!  But, I was looking at the box today and read the saying on it and decided that it should be applied to my life as a Christian, and every other Christian's life, for that matter!

I used my kit, Love, the Greatest of These, which will be ready for the store soon!

THE Way

Another thought-provoking church sign for this week.  The question someone should ask is, "What is Plan A?"  Jesus answered this question Himself................

I used my "Precious Gifts" kit and addon
