Finding the rainbow in the storm

I haven't blogged in so long; I feel like such a slacker.  To catch you up - we're moving.  In the midst of moving, I am also in school and working and being a momma and a wife.  I truly believe we are at the end of our torrential storm and am so very glad.  I see the light at the end of the tunnel (and no, it's not a train).  In the midst of the chaos, I think it is vital to our Spirit to look for the rainbow. 
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. - Philippians 4:8
My rainbow comes from the love, patience, mercy and grace of God, my husband, children, family and friends.  Here are just a few of my rainbows; I hope you can look past the storm in your life and see the many rainbows:



Thank you all for being a color in my amazing rainbow! :)

Edumacation

I tend to have an "eye" for blatant grammar/spelling errors.  I used to think it was a gift, but now I'm not so sure.  You see, I have the privilege of catching things like this and I'm ashamed to even exist.  Enjoy. . . .


I'm starting a new website: "Typings of Wal-Mart"

Words of Wisdom

Just a glimpse into an amazing conversation had in my living room last night - it was a great evening!!!!!

Jesus opened our prison - He is the key, and He opened it for us.  It is up to us whether or not we leave it.

Just a few reasons one might not leave:
--Pride - sometimes leaving the prison means admitting that you allowed something or someone (even yourself) to hold you captive in that prison
--Fear - oftentimes what is familar is easier.  Think of an inmate of 35 years, set free, only to wind back up in prison because the outside, unfamilar world is too tough to manage.  BE BRAVE!!!
--Lack of knowing who you are in Christ - not having the Truth in you (remember - the Truth set you free) and believing you don't deserve to be free is a sure way to stay in bondage (and is also a bit prideful).

What prison have you been trying to leave?  Walk out of it!!!!!!!!  Don't allow lies, deception, conceit, pride, fear, and ignorance keep you there.  The door has already been opened - Truth is what sets you free - Jesus IS Truth.  He doesn't just resemble truth; He's not just the speaker of truth; He IS truth.

Leaving this ridiculous prison,
