Looking out the window from my bed before I arose this morning brought highlights of the sun glistening through the colorful leaves of the trees. How beautiful the November weather has been. Imagine a November that heats up just about every day with the 70-80 degree temperatures. They say here in Kentucky just wait 15 minutes and the weather will change. Well this has happened a time or two, for sure! My life is settling in and I 'am a "Kentucky Woman". Washington State you will forever live in my heart, though.
Then the thoughts of winter coming on crossed through my mind, as I lay there thinking about what needs done this day. After all, here it is another year and another November at hand. Then thoughts of the previous ice storm in January, 2008 that enveloped Owensboro Kentucky with thick ice were very vivid. Never had I experienced the look of ice covering my car about one inch thick. My car survived the storm and so did me and Bill once more recover from winter. We both prefer winter to come and go quickly but then that wishes our life to flee by.
Summer arrived here in Kentucky that year of 2009& 2010 and when they say it is going to be hot, believe them. The weather got very hot this summer. The summer came and went for both of us. I asked Bill what they did here before air conditioning to survive the heat. He said, "Well, they sat on the porches and fanned themselves and visited about things, I guess." That seems to me to be a very good thing. The Lord says there is a season and time for all things . In every situation He reminds us to make the best out of our journey.
That journey and time has flown and another year ended since I have blogged what has been happening in our lives. On May 22nd 2010, me and Bill counted up one year of blissfull marriage. Where has the time gone? One thing I will say is life goes on no matter where the Lord takes you. never doubt.
The Lord did take us back to Washington State in the fall of 2009 for my grand daughter Jenna's wedding to Zach Siple. Cheryl (my daughter) & Tim Dore were outstanding hosts for us even though they were very busy planning the wedding for Jenna. Bill really enjoyed the visit and we both helped where we could. Hard to believe I was married the same year as my grand daughter Jenna and Bill's grand son Willy.
Now as I look back and remember the journey the days & years are fleeting by. Then I ask the Lord to open my thoughts to the words He would have me share at this time. There are many days of journaling that are packed away in boxes still yet. The title of my blog "Yo Mom I'm Home" is a book to me in progress. The progress is in the hands of the Lord. My thoughts and words and the time He will give me will be a layout only to be given as He gives it to me. At this time I'm feeling more and more the need to share the story . The journey in our lives are valuable resources that need un bottled in the way that only glorify's God. Help me Lord to say what needs shared , is my prayer.
