So, Layton was wild, I told him, just go jump in the pool... I didn't ever imagine he would... And he did!  Ice cold water... And he played in it for at least 30 minutes!  First polar bear swim this year!!!

Home Sweet Home...



After being gone a week, I am finally almost home... On flight to Tyler...

Pic below, is leaving DFW to Tyler...






I am so blessed to be able to have a successful real estate business along with the experience of being the 2013 President of the Greater Tyler Association of Realtors.  I can't even put in words everything I have learned over the last 5 years about our local, state and national associations.  There is more than meets the eye, for sure!  I am blessed to have Realtors around me serving our association that really care.  This year has flown by, no pun intended!

Surely,✈

Coming home and in between!

No other...

Whew, read this one!  Simple stuff but we always try to do things on our own!
Quietness and trust... Strength .


"
This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.”
—Isaiah 30:15

Stouthearted...

I love this verse... Such confidence when you are connected to the power that has created all!  Jesus always wins, and He knows me by name!  Surely,

Psalm 138:3
"When I called, you answered me; you made me bold and stouthearted."

Drill, Thrill and Skill...

WWow, this is good!  

I can just hear this being read aloud!

Molding a Man

When God wants to drill a man,
And thrill a man, And skill a man,
When God wants to mold a man
To play the noblest part;
When He yearns with all His heart.
To create so great and bold a man
That all the world shall be amazed,
Watch His methods, watch His ways!

How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects!
How He hammers him and hurts him,
And with mighty blows converts him
Into trial shapes of clay which
Only God understands;
While his tortured heart is crying
And he lifts beseeching hands!

How He bends but never breaks 
When his good He undertakes;
How He uses whom He chooses,
And with every purpose fuses him;
By every act induces him
To try His splendor out—
God knows what He’s about!

If there is anything I can relate to, it is making cookies.  You know the dough has to be mixed just right, the best ingredients, and rolled to just the right thickness.  That perfect cookie cutter has been selected by the baker.  I know when I choose the cookie cutter, it has been thought about and there is always a reason for that choice.  And guess what?  Even the scraps that are left over are used.  They may even be the best, because they are the ones with just a liitle extra flour mixed in... What a lesson learned... God has made a choice for how He is molding each of us... Ponder on which cookie cutter God has selected for you?  Or will we ever know? ... I might be the scraps one day, or the perfect warm cookie another, but everyday, I taste just right to the Maker!

No coincidence...

 
I saw a friend at church this week... She came and hugged me, thanking me for a note I had sent her after her mother passed away.  She told me the verses I sent, happened to be the entire focal point of her mother's memorial.  OMG, I was blown away, once again, by God.  To be honest, it had slipped my mind, of the verses, that I had mailed to her, so I had to really think...... and I do remember.  I was reading the book of Lamentations.  How do you forget reading Lamentations, it is a small book in the Bible, and yet, when you read through the Bible, it takes a little time to get to Lamentations considering its' location in the Bible.  Can you believe God's timing?   My friend's words to me, were ...  God's grace is sufficient.   Tears in her eyes,  she confidently told me not once but twice...God's grace is sufficient.  Another confession,  as I wrote the note to her and mailed the note, I thought to myself, will these verses even make sense to her....  it seems, alot of times, I write and mail wondering if what I am trying to say, conveys to the person .... well, I guess God showed me, huh?
God's word speaks, God's word is living.  I am just the vessel.  Surely,


Lamentations 3:22-25
 
"Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;"
