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

I bought some soil and flowers yesterday at Lowes. They didn't have a very good variety! But I took a picture of them today. They are also planted on the other side of the little porch you see here.

I used Sophia Davies' "Promise" kit. You can find it HERE.

After our walk this morning, I wanted to take some pictures. So, the only way to get a picture of Tim and myself together was to have him take one of me and I took one of him then I photoshopped him into the picture! Turned out pretty good, don't you think?

I used the March bonus Mega Kit from Digitals challenges in March, Fresh Elegance. It is on sale now in the store. Click on the picture to go to the kit in the store.

Snakes give me the creeps, big time! I can't really say that I am afraid of them, I just know that I have a very healthy respect for them! I just don't like something that slithers around very quietly. Come to think of it, that's pretty much what Satan does, isn't it? He doesn't show up on our door step in a red suit with horns and a pitch fork, and then ring the door bell so that when we answer he warns us that he is there and to watch out for him! The Bible rightly calls him the old serpent, doesn't it?!

Anyway, I made this page using the elements from the Fresh Elegance Mega Collaborative Kit by the Digitals designers. It was the free kit that was given out piece by piece as the challenges were completed during the month of March. You can buy the HUGE kit HERE. The pieces of the kit that I used were all made by Katey Green of Handmaid Designs. It is too late to begin the April challenges, but if you would like to join in beginning on May 1st, go to this THREAD. You have to be a registered member to have access to the forum and the gallery for posting your layouts, but it is free!

DH was going to wash his car today and as bad as I hated to, I decided mine needed it really badly, too! So, we washed them together. I even armor-alled the inside and washed the windows! However, it still needs to be swept out! Another day, perhaps! :)

The kit used: "Promise" by Sophia Davies. Click on the page to be taken to the store where the kit is currently on sale!

It has been unseasonably (at least what I am used to) warm here the last couple of days! Today when I looked at the thermometer hanging out by our back door, I knew either I am reading it incorrectly or it is just dead wrong! So I looked up the current temperature on the internet and confirmed that it was a whole lot warmer than what our thermometer was reading!

I used Kathryn Estry's kit, Fairy Kisses found HERE. I thought the swirlies on the paper reminded me of heat waves, which is why I used it!

We now have a dummy living in our house. His name is Joey. DH is going to teach himself the art of ventriloquism and use Joey in VBS this summer!

I used my new kit, Sugar and Spice found on my Today's Scrap blog.

I love these little yellow flowers that grow in the yard! I decided to get a different perspective of them today! The sky was beautiful and the sun was shining! What beauty God has given us to enjoy!

The kit I used is from Alessandra Designs, Ethereal Fantasy. I love the colors, and love the elements! You can find her kit HERE.
