Psalm 61

Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.

From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher
than I.
For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.

I long to dwell in your tent forever,
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

I've felt really tired lately, and haven't done very well in making time for devotions with God. In my Mary Heart Bible study, the last chapter I read was on living room intimacy with God. One story was told about a man who had different rooms in his house, but he had a sitting room with a cozy fire, where the Lord would sit with him and have devotionals every morning. There came a time when he got busy, and he would miss a couple of days in a row. Then one day he walked by the sitting room, and noticed that the Lord was there, waiting for him. See, God had been there waiting for him every day, even when the man wasn't there. And so it is with me. God is waiting for me to spend time with Him, and immerse myself in His Word. I need to keep the appointment. :)

Who do they look like?

I saw this on Chantel's blog, and it looked like fun. We had some interesting, and surprising results. Everybody says Kevin looks more like Troy, but obviously this state of the art face recognition disagrees.

This is kind of funny, considering. I'm convinced it was just the picture I was using, though, since the one below seems to be a bit more accurate. I mean, come on.

New kitchen stuff

I went with my parents to Tai Pan yesterday, and decided to get a vase and some flowers to add color to my kitchen. Everything in my house seems so bland. It's all beige, so until we can paint (which may be never, or at least until we get the basement finished, which also may be never), I've got to get color in where I can. I put the plate up there cause it seemed like there needed to be something else, but I'm not sure if the plate is quite right.

Portable Sounds

My most recent CD purchase was tobyMac's newest CD, Portable Sounds. It's so good, and the kids love listening to it in the car. Below, you can listen to my favorite song on the CD (Stoopid thing isn't working. I'll leave it on in case it decides to work later).

Also, if anyone would like to pay for me to fly somewhere and see Jeremy Camp and tobyMac in concert, since they're not coming here, I won't say no.

Well Done, Husband

Troy just went to the grocery store, and out of nowhere he brought me home a box of chocolates. Happy Saturday to me! I love that man!

Also, to anyone who might be wondering, Troy did get a 3 day weekend, although on Thursday he didn't get home until after 1:30 in the morning. Which was absolutely, utterly ridiculous. We've enjoyed our time together this weekend, though.

3 Day Weekend---Please!!!

Troy usually gets every other Friday off, and tomorrow is supposed to be one of them. I'm praying that they don't make him work this weekend, and he has another 3 day weekend. He got a 3 day last weekend, since it was President's Day.

I went to MOPS this morning. We had a speaker on marriage. I hate to say it, but I was bored to death. I'm not sure why, but I can only guess that my marriage is so darn good that I don't need to hear advice on marriage. Especially common sense advice. To be honest, I'm not too thrilled with MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers). There are too many speakers (almost every time), and all I really want is to get out and socialize with other moms, not sit there and listen to someone talk for an hour.

FUNNY!
