DEEP THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Michelle's Deep Thought for the Day

This is me... listening for that still small voice.

Think about this... "God is sooo big, yet He chooses to speak to us in such a teeny tiny voice.... hmmm"  I know why He does it.  So we will pull ourselves closer to Him so we can hear that teeny tiny voice.  

You know what I think?  I think God is really smart!

RED RAIN BOOTS

It was a rainy day today, but that's ok because I got to wear my new red Nike rain boots!  

Hooray!  

I bought them at the Nike Outlet Store in Lancaster, PA for $ 7.00.  How awesome is that?  Oh well... just had to share my excitement with my blogging friends!

Which way do we go?

Well, the secret is out.... We are moving.. somewhere... The big question is, "Where?"  Where does God want us to be?  We don't know the answer to this question.  :)  We have interviewed at some churches, but we do not have an answer... yet.   We are really looking forward to the new ministry experiences in our future!  Although we will miss our friends here in Maryland, we are also so excited to know that we will soon be living close to our family and friends in the South!

Hooray!

This is a photo of us from Fall 2005.  Hannah was having a "moment" and would not get the photo with us.  :)

This morning I decided to read my favorite verse in the message Bible.. Wow!  Check it out!

Jeremiah 29:10-12 The Message

This is God's Word on the subject: "As soon as Babylon's seventy years are up and not a day before, I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home.  I know what I'm doing.  I have it all planned out - plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.  When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen."

"It Adds Character"

Hannah loves to paint!  She worked really hard on this painting, but left it out on the screened in porch overnight.  It rained all night, so now it is spotted.  She was bummed, but I told her that it just "adds character" to her painting.  That's what my mom always told me.

My mom always used that statement with me.  If I complained about anything... such as, washing the dishes... she would just say, "It adds character".

Thanks, Mom!  :)

Love this photo!

I love this photo of my family!  This photo was taken in August 2008 in Baltimore, MD at the Inner Harbor.  The girls are so pretty and growing way too quickly... and Neal is still a cutie!  Always will be!

Nellie McSmellie

Nellie McSmellie is our pet rabbit.  We have had her for 8 months.  She is a house rabbit.  Her cage is in Sarah's room.  She is a great pet; however, she doesn't like to be picked up.  Like most rabbits, she is scared when her feet are not touching the ground.  Oh well... we love her anyway.

Nellie is quite popular now.  She even has her own facebook!  (Thanks to Sarah...)

Below are some photos of Nellie on the back porch getting some much needed exercise.

Sarah's Science Experiment #1

Sarah and Hannah are loving their science curriculum!  Here is a photo of Sarah doing her first experiment of the year.
