Notes to myself...writing in my Bible.

I have written notes in my Bible since I was a teenager.  It started out innocently enough.  I would highlight or underline a passage that spoke to me.  Then, it became a spot to jot down sermon notes when I forgot my notebook.  Every once in a while I would doodle a little something in the corner so that page would stand out when I was flipping through.  Sometimes I would scribble a little reminder of what God had specifically spoke into my heart while reading a particular passage.  My old Bible is paper thin and falling apart, but I so love reading the notes and promises from years ago.  Many of those pastors whose messages so inspired me are long gone, but their insight into God's word lives on.

Fast Forward to now!  Today!  This afternoon my niece left me a note on my fb page stating that I simply MUST check out the Journaling Bible Community on FB!  Oh, my goodness!  It makes my little notes look like chicken scratch.  These amazingly creative folks have made Bible journaling an art form!  Shanna Noel actually has a give away going on this weekend for an awesome little Journaling Bible.  If you are interested (as I am)  Go check her out! http://shannanoel.blogspot.com/2014/08/journaling-bible-writing-in-margi.html  I am so looking forward to rethinking my Journaling process and seeing how God is going to use it to teach me.

Well hello!  Welcome to my blog.  Some of my friends have been encouraging me to write one for a couple of years.  So, why start now?  I am balanced on this proverbial cliff, ready to jump off into 2013.  I 've been looking back over 2012 and saw a few of the hills and valleys behind me , b ut for the most part, I couldn't see much of what had happened.  This blog is my way of remembering a year of my life.  Don't expect great reading material here, lol.  I ramble.  Alot!  I may ponder o ver what I've read in my Bible that day, talk about my my three awesome kids, my artwork, a photography job, or procrastinating cleaning my kitchen.  I can, however, promise you one thing.  I will always be real.   So, without further adieu... come on and join me as we leap off into 2013.  The adventure awaits us!  :D

Plan? What plan? Me? Have a PLAN????

I'm an off the cuff kinda gal.  I'm pretty good at going with the flow.  I usually don't know, from one day to the next, what life is going to throw at me.  Being flexible is definitely a gift! However, sometimes I really do need a plan.  When I have a photography job, it's important to at least have a date and time written down so I don't forget.  If I'm going to Disney to see Emily, I need know when I'm going so she can schedule her days off.  If I'm going out of town, a definite place to stay is rather important, lol.  But, what about a LIFE plan?  How important is that? I'll be honest.  Having a long term plan for my life went out the window years ago.  I never planned to have cancer.  Nor did I plan to get divorced...or remarried...or divorced again.  I didn't plan to have my third child at the age of 36.  I didn't plan to raise her alone.  I didn't plan soooo many things about my life.  Nonetheless, I'm thankful for every one

Waiting...just waiting :)

Well hello!!!  Forgive me for taking such a long leave of absence on you.  Life has been busy, as usual...and it's just January!  I knew I wanted to write today, but I really wasn't sure what to write about.  I figured there would be at least a few people waiting for the next installment of the Bullet, but only because they told me so, lol.  Then it hit me!  I'll write about waiting!  Goodness knows I've done enough of that today! For Pete's sake!  Y'all have waited 17 days for this post, hahaha! Don't you just hate to wait?  Wait to see the doctor, wait to get prescriptions filled, wait to have tests run, wait for results, wait in line to drop off kids, wait to pick them up, wait in line at the grocery store, dollar store, Wally World...wait, wait, wait.  I wait for my check to be deposited, wait for the next pay day, wait for food to cook, wait for it to cool, wait for laundry to wash, and then for it to dry.  Wait to get married, wait to get single, wai
