Another sunny day in SC

I walked outside today to walk the puppy. I thought to myself,"Is it normal to sweat on December 9?" Another sunny day. If things aren't going well, I just look out my window. Or go outside barefooted. In fact, maybe today I will take Carly to the beach. It is so nice out. I think our area could use a little rain, but for me, this is great.

I just remember last year fussing with snowsuits and such. In fact, I read an old entry from last December, when we were still in NY and Mike was here. I had a stressful moment with Johnny getting him ready to go out and play and he literally stayed outside for 4 minutes. It took 15 minutes for him to even get to the point of going out. I so don't miss that. I love the fact that I can take the dog out in the warmth. Even in the night, it is bearable. I am so blessed. I do miss the comradary of a church family, and friends. But there is a season for everything. Right now, it is so important for me to focus on school for the kids. They are little for just a short time......

To everyone who may come across this blog today, I wish you well. I know there are some of you out there 3 feet deep in snow, or maybe as warm as I am. Savor the moment. It's all good. He created it all. It's just the other stuff that gets us stressed. But those things are man made. You know, snowsuits, lost gloves, boots that don't fit, driving in a storm(cars and snow don't mix), shoveling driveways, scraping off car windows (again, cars and snow don't mix), etc. Wouldn't it be great if we could just "look" at the snow. So, that's what I'll do. I will read books about it with pictures. And put up a snowy screen saver. I can look, but I don't want to touch. I will go and listen to the waves instead.

My God bless the reader.

Thank you for your kind words on my blog, TJ. They are much appreciated!

*sigh* We lived in Cleveland, Ohio once. I really miss the snow and having real seasons! But on the bright side of living near Houston, it IS warm and sunny (er, hot and humid) most of the year. We have odd cold snaps and glorious thunderstorms. And plenty of warning when a hurricane is coming. :-) It is a blessing to be able to send the kids out to ride their bikes, fish in the pond or play in the dirt pile.

But it would also be pretty neato to have just one snowstorm down here. The only thing is that when it gets cold down here, it is just ICE with no snow. And I'd rather have sunny over ice any old day!

I hope you have a wonderfully blessed Sunday!

I am so glad that you are enjoying life near the beach. I soooo love the beach having grown up in Florida's gulf coast. : )
I will pray for Zachary and will trust the Lord along with you for him to have a heart change and come back to the Lord.
Have a wonderful week,
Julie

Hi TJ. Thanks for visiting me. :)

I would be glad to help you out with your blog. Just tell me what you're looking to do.

To answer your question about location. We lived in Alabama for most of my adult life. We moved down here to Florida about 2 1/2 years ago.
