Beauty

One evening last week we went for a walk. It was a beautiful day and we had a nice time walking to the little fountain here in town and then wandering along the paths that lead through the fields around town. Germany is a beautiful country and as we were walking I was overwhelmed by the blessing it is for us to live in such a gorgeous country. The world truly is glorious and I am grateful to be able to spend time in nature really enjoying the beauty of this world. I was glad I thought to bring the camera with me and was able to take some pictures of the beauty that surrounds us everyday.

Jared, Emily, Samantha, Abigail, and Natalie feeding the sheep. At first the sheep weren't too sure about us, but once we started feeding them they all came over to say hello.

The kids all love the huge bales of hay that the farmers wrap up in plastic. Abigail was really excited to climb on top of the "giant marshmallows" and had so much fun jumping from marshmallow to marshmallow. She tried unsuccessfully to reach the top of the pyramid of hay behind her; maybe next time she'll make it to the top!



The fountain here in town has a lot of slimy algae stuff growing on it; the kids call it monster boogers. Jared is the kind of fun dad who will pick a bunch of the stuff and pretend to sneeze it out of his nose. It was gross and sweet at the same time.



Even though I found this perfect spot to take some pictures, Natalie just would not look at the camera . . .


While Samantha always looks at the camera but never really smiles.




And this sweetie is happy to do both, if I can just get her to sit still long enough to snap a picture or two.

What is Faith?

Image
What would you say if someone asked you what faith is? In Hebrews 11, Paul defined faith as "the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." The assurance of things hoped for - faith is knowing that because of Jesus Christ, we can hope for a brighter future. I feel as if hope and faith are one and the same. Life can be heartbreakingly difficult sometimes and even though I know that challenges are there to help us learn and grow, I sure wish I didn't have to go through those hard times. When I have felt surrounded by struggles and I couldn't see any way that things would ever get better, the only thing that has kept me moving forward is hope. Not the kind of hope that is sort of wishful like hoping your team wins a World Cup game, but hope that is sure because it is based on Christ. Having faith in Jesus Christ is having hope and knowing that His promises are sure.  The evidence of things not seen - faith in God grows when we see Him working in our...

Anxiety, Friendship, and Insecurity

This post has been kicking around in my head for a while now. My emotions have been closer to the surface lately - which can be both good and bad.  For a couple of weeks last month it was a bad thing and I found myself crying at pretty much everything and feeling alone and friendless even when I was surrounded by people. You'd think I'd be better at making friends after almost forty years of moving and having to form new connections at each new place. Instead, the older I get, the more difficult the process becomes. Even after I make friends deep down I question if we're really friends. I think these feelings of insecurity are part of what makes me willing to do almost anything for my friends. If I do nice things for you maybe you'll continue to tolerate my presence? I think I do a pretty good job hiding my insanity. I can fake confidence really well - smiling and laughing and making small talk. And then I go home and overanalyze and question every little thing I said...

Four Decades

Image
Birthdays are markers in our lives. Moving from one decade to another is a milestone that is not marked by an accomplishment or an important decision, but simply your age. That's something you can't control as time keeps moving forward whether we're ready for it or not. I can honestly say that I'm not bothered by turning forty and that I still look forward to my birthdays. But there's no denying that those milestone birthdays (you know the ones, they end in zero) are a big deal. A time that, for me, leads to some looking back to see if I've accomplished anything worthwhile in the previous decade of my life or in any of the decades of my life.  So I found photos of myself at all those other ages that end in zero. Maybe if I take it a decade at a time it will be easier to see what I've learned? Seriously, whose dog is this? Italy, 1981 Okay, this first one is already breaking the rules as it's not from a milestone birthday. I have two pictures...
