</div>i cross this bridge every day. i look forward to the artistic display of God each morning as i drive across, and this is what i witnessed one day.<br />
<br />
fog. deep, thick, immense. flooding my vision.<br />
<br />
the bridge was not seen. yet i kept driving.<br />
<br />
<em>why?</em><br />
<br />
i drove because <em>i have been here before. i remember what is there. and i am i certain that it is still there, holding me up.</em> even though i can not see.<br />
<br />
i see runners coming across from the opposite direction. with each footstep, they say, <em>"go, it is there, you know that. i've been there, too. you will be ok...".</em><br />
<br />
faith is like that fog. we know that He is there. we've been this path before. <em> </em>friends remind us of our journeys, their journeys. <em>so why are we so hesitant? why will i drive across that bridge, but so quickly fail to see my Lord in times of fog?</em><br />
<br />
<em>build my faith, Lord, that as i cross through the waters to you, i will not lose my vision...hebrews 11:1...</em>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07856221825880891809noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914909939683798562.post-83181637103166315832012-02-07T11:17:00.000-05:002012-02-07T11:17:39.029-05:00in all things...{billboards, too}<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://echodgraphics.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/advantages-of-billboard-advertising-in-promotional-campaigns.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" sda="true" src="http://echodgraphics.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/advantages-of-billboard-advertising-in-promotional-campaigns.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>so as i was traveling down the interstate towards school one morning last week, i was sharing with God just how frustrated i was with myself. <br />
<br />
with my inability to focus on His word.<br />
with my apathy towards prayer.<br />
with my lack of discipline in my spiritual life.<br />
<br />
i was crying out to my Father for reassurance as i was flying down the road at 60 mph, but going nowhere.<br />
<br />
and as i looked up, He spoke to me through billboards. <em>four billboards, one right after another. </em><br />
{no joke, so don't laugh.}<br />
<br />
i have no photos, so words will have to explain...<br />
<br />
first...a beautiful collection of blue butterflies, taking off...it said <em>"transformed".</em><br />
<br />
second...a crumpled piece of paper on one half of the billboard, which said <em>"before"</em>...and a smooth, wrinkle-free sheet on the other half that said <em>"after".</em><br />
<br />
third...one half of the billboard showed a boy's hands playing a video game. the other half showed the boy's hands holding a turtle. and it said <em>"unplug".</em><br />
<br />
fourth and final...the words <em>"get insulated".</em><br />
<br />
words from God where i needed them, fast and furious glimpes on the highway.<br />
telling me i am His. i am worthy. i am not of this world.<br />
reminding me i am loved. i am new. i am capable of breaking free.<br />
<br />

<br />
we have officially rid ourselves of {over} 100 items. and it was actually easy and liberating. the last 17 items consisted of...<br />
<br />
<em>corkscrew, christmas wreath, 7 items of clothing, 2 pillows, television, bag of clothing, doll crib, computer monitor and keyboard, and dressing table...</em><br />
<br />
ta-da!<br />
<br />
what i have learned from 100 in 100...<br />
<em>* i am now more conscientious of what i bring into our home...</em>i find myself replacing item for item and really thinking about whether or not i need something.<br />
*<em> i don't need half the stuff i think i do...</em><br />
<em>* there is a sense of relief when you toss items and have less to worry about, less to clean, and space to breathe...</em><br />
<em>* i find real worth in the things i DO have, because they serve a purpose (or two or three, now that i am living with less)...</em><br />
<em>* i realize the capacity i have to bless people with things that i have, or with the time/money that i have now that i live with less...</em><br />
<br />
so, what's next?<br />
i've been thinking about doing the 30 day clothing fast again, to see if i can weed more out of my closet. i've also thought about going on a spending fast, trying to only buy what we absolutely have to have. that would be a challenge, since we *really* need mcdonald's french fries about once a week it seems. one thing for sure, i will continue to rid my home of items in 2012!<br />
<br />

<br />
date six of twelve was to hash-out the rest of our christmas giving list without ears to hear us...so we retreated to <a href="http://www.tbonzgillandgrill.com/">t-bonz </a>{and used a gift certificate...bonus!} to talk and eat. after some thinking and adding, we realized that we had enough b&n gift cards {given to use by generous students} to purchase a nook! so off to b&n we went. grand total we spent = $1.68. awesomeness! now we own a kindle and a nook. summer and beach reading can not get here soon enough.<br />
<br />
date seven was to adona and bill's card game christmas party. we've been invited for many years but have never been able to attend until this year. we played crazy poker with friends from our church and ate yummy food and did a white elephant gift exchange. it was a nice way to end the school week and start our christmas vacation- hanging out with *big people*!Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07856221825880891809noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914909939683798562.post-47596764897765100982011-12-12T22:01:00.000-05:002011-12-12T22:01:45.716-05:00update...{on dates three & four}so, date three was to <a href="http://www.hubeeds.com/">hubee d's</a>. never been before, heard it was good. and it was! then coach sal and i went to target and bought my dad a kindle for his 70th birthday. {you are only 70 years old once.}<br />
<br />
date four was to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Lessons_and_Carols">lessons and carols</a> for our school. it was not only a beautiful beginning to the christmas season, but all three of our children participated {david for the last time}. i shed tears a few times for a few different reasons...<br />
<br />
and then date four ended at hubee d's, ironically. this time with our three children.<br />

<br />
so, our first date was to moe's, which is a pretty typical date for us. we go there often on date nights because our children are not huge fans, but we are. <br />
<br />
we are going to try to come up with different ideas for each one, not always being food! some ideas are...<br />
<br />
* browse b&n<br />
* drive around and look at christmas lights<br />
* movies<br />
* local play or concert<br />
* coffee!<br />
<br />

love love love this print...i saw it yesterday at carolina girls and almost bought it until i saw the price tag. so i went home and told larry that i want it for christmas. :o)<br />
<br />
on to christmas...we chose our tree at lowe's yesterday. choosing the tree has actually become more difficult as the kids have gotten older, because it is a competition to see who picks *THE tree*. that said, mom still gets the final say. but it is some sort of honor to have mom choose the tree YOU pulled out of the stack. <br />
<br />
decorating commenced as we watched the carolina-clemson game...<br />

and this is my playmobil nativity scene...david and jacob loved these toys when they were little, so we've had this set for many years. {surprised to see the only piece lost thus far is the angel's halo} the wooden barn, though, i bought this year at target for $2.50. the set came with a cardboard one that is falling apart, and i thought the little wooden one was perfect!<br />
