Start and Move On

Today is a new beginning.  I've been lost in Blog Land and I still haven't found my way out. One day Blogger went a little crazy.  "You are not an author on any blogs."  Who stole my identity? White Lace and Promises, Vintage Girl 901 and The Upside of Down are still out there but, "Access Denied."  I tried starting with a new server and that didn't help either. I have decided to just start from where I am and move on.

That's seems to be the theme of my life as it is now, "Start and move on." Yes, you heard it right.  START and move on.  Not STOP and move on.  I seem to do more starting and never finishing, more starting and moving. That's the "Upside of Down."  The lady in the basement, as my friend would call her, is out! I know myself.  I know when it's time to move on.  I know it's time when staying would be detrimental to my health, my family and to those I serve. When I've given all and there's nothing left to give, it's time. 

It's time for me to say goodbye to my career as an activity director. I wrote about my decision to leave in the last post on Vintage Girl 901 before I fell off the face of Blogger.  I don't regret my working there.  God has used this place to teach me again that He loves me, that he has a plan that is much bigger than what I can now see.  I have an interview tomorrow.  I honestly wish I had some time to rest before moving into a new place.  But God knows what we need most.

My Word for the year...Trust.

I took a few Tennessee back roads on Saturday.
I saw 9 or 10 barns in less than 5 miles.  (I'm not sure if they were all barns or sheds.)
 I wish I could have stopped and photographed them all.  I almost ran off the road getting this shot. What a beautiful day it was!

Spring into Spring

Anyone else ready to Spring Forward?  Oh my goodness! Just enough nip in the air to feel like an early Spring day. The trees around Georgia are beginning to bud. I've missed my babies so much the past couple of weeks but this afternoon  I feel a little lighter.  It will be Easter weekend before I get to Nashville but I found this sweet little idea to make with the kids. We can go on a scavenger hunt and each Grand can create their own unique design.  I've not done much in my booth for Spring. I had a yard sale and this is how the carport still looks. I may have made $40. Ugh. It was cloudy day so, oh well. I'll price it all and put it in the booth this weekend.  The littles are doing ok. Our youngest GRAND girl, Claire has to wear a patch for a weak eye.  I think she's gonna be fine. She certainly daddy's girl.  She was excited about going to his office.  Our oldest GRAND girl, Cora, made the All-star team in basketball. She's a natural.  She...

God Said Move

In The Summer of last year, I began to feel a restlessness in my spirit. I sensed that things were about to change.  One night in October, I had closed my eyes and was not asleep when I saw in my spirit a sign in the front yard. It was a red, white and blue sign like a Remax Realty sign. I heard the word, "Move." I knew it was the Holy Spirit speaking to me.  David had been unhappy living in the big city. He spent most of his time on the highways and interstates around Middle TN. He traveled anywhere from 375-500 miles a day. He talked of moving back home, and I always resisted. So, I said, "Okay, Lord. I'm not sure what this means. If it's means we will actually move, I'm willing. If it means, you're moving me spiritually, I'm ready.  The very next day, David said, "I need you to pray about something." I knew what he was going to say and I told him about my dream. He had a job offer. The market was a seller's market. Within a few weeks,...

Is Alcohol Essential?

I'm guessing your world looks pretty much like mine... Social distancing Empty shelves Empty freezers No bread Hamburger meat Chicken breast Alcohol Hand sanitizer Wipes... Oh yeah NO TP. Everyone is going a little cra-cra! Is anyone else having a hard time not touching her face? I may even pick my nose. How hard is it to pump gas without touching anything? About the third day into social distancing, and having to work because I am "essential," I went to buy hand sanitizer. Of course, there was none. I have the recipe. Aloe vera gel...check Essential oil...check Alcohol After work, I stopped at 3 places. By this time, I'm feeling exasperated. In the pharmacy section... because that's where it should be, right? But what do I know?... "Sir, do you have any alcohol?" I was directed to Aisle 12, "Right behind you there!" Here I go.  Yelp.  Didn't give it a second thought. Be-bopping right along. ...
