Time to Catch Up

I've been sitting at this desk for well over forty-five minutes, wracking my brain to come up with something worthwhile to write. Sometimes, words don't come easily. Most of the time I have to search for them. Sometimes I give up. Most of the time I just ramble on, typing whatever flows to my fingers.

Since I still haven't come up with anything to write, I guess I will tell you about how life has recently been treating me.

Here We Go!

Opportunities
For the last year and a half or so, I've been seeking the Lord's will for my life. Although He still hasn't seen fit to make His plans known to me, He has given me many wonderful opportunities to serve Him while I'm waiting.  He has brought to my attention time after time that He is always in control.
A friend of a friend needed a babysitter for her 7 and 10 year old girls. Since I was out of a job, my friends figured I would be interested and set up an appointment for us to meet.
God comes through for me every time! Next week I start my babysitting job.
This year, I was in charge of our church's Christmas pageant. I'm going to be honest with you. It was stressful. A lot of hard work was due, and we only had three weeks to get everything ready. By God's grace, we pulled it off. There were a few glitches, and some obvious mess-ups, but I could have never asked for a more willing cast to work with :)
I will continue in my search for what God has in store for my life, but in the time that I am waiting, I will be content in the little things.

Christmas
This year was different than all the rest. I can't put my finger on it exactly, but something was different. Maybe spirits were lighter. Maybe I didn't have as many people to buy for. Maybe it wasn't as stressful. Maybe it was because I was more focused on my Savior...Whatever the difference was, I liked it.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this little update! 

Have a Blessed New Year!

Vacation: Brown County Indiana

I used to think of Indiana as flat, boring, and uninteresting. A little bit like Ohio. When my family went to Brown County Indiana in August, I came back with a new understanding for the state. It does have beauty. Indescribable beauty. Color and hills were in every direction I looked. Gully's and cliffs loomed everywhere.  The Lord never overlooks any corner of His creation. He takes delight in it all :)

                                                               *silly face*

                                                        This little guy was our neighbor all week

                                                      This was my cute little bedroom

                                                              *good morning sunshine*

                                                              Our home for the week

                                                   She makes the most attractive faces

                                                                         O.H.I.O.

                                                                     Hiking!

*treasures along the trail*

                                                                        Mom and I

This is just a little taste of all the beautiful nature we seen

                                                           Our swimming pool

                                                           roasting hot-dogs

    We were able to enjoy the blessing of renting a pontoon and spending the afternoon on Lake Monroe

Throughout our whole visit, the kids counted over 62 deer!

The scenery was absolutely stunning. 

On the last day of our visit, we took an all day sight seeing day in the town of Nashville. 

They had the cutest little shops and cafe's

The homemade ice cream was beyond amazing 

Popcorn in every flavor imaginable! 

Blueberry popcorn anyone???

Overall, our little trip was amazing. The sights were spectacular. The company was charming. 

I hope you enjoyed this little peek :) 

If any of you ever go, or have been to Brown County Indiana, please tell me about it!!! I'd love to hear from you :) :) ;) 

Blessings to you all, Tabby
