****THIS IS A POST FROM LAST YEAR (THUS THE REASON EVERYONE IS SO MUCH YOUNGER AND THERE IS NO CAKIE), BUT I WAS RECEIVING SO MANY STRANGE ANONYMOUS COMMENTS ON IT THAT I DELETED THE ORIGINAL AND AM REPOSTING HERE.****
Several months ago we studied Nehemiah. The focus of one particular lesson was Nehemiah 6:3. Our pastor spoke at great length about this passage and shed new light on the passage for me. Since that lesson, Nehemiah 6:3 has become the verse I wake and drift to sleep repeating.
I used to blog alot. I would pour my heart out onto these pages. I do miss it. I miss being able to read back through the pages that contain many memories that would have faded away without my writings. I miss the friendships that I made because of and through the blog. But because of my verse, Nehemiah 6:3, things have changed.
3 so I sent messengers to them with this reply: “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?”
And so, I have been absent. But I am SO present. I am present in my marriage. I am present in my children's lives. And am present and seeking the things God holds sacred.
For, I am doing great work and I cannot come down!
My great work is my marriage. My great works are my children. And my great works are the things Christ holds sacred.
So, if I have not emailed you back or returned your phone call, please forgive me.
I am doing great work.
If I do not write on these pages more often, please forgive me.
I am doing great work.
Tonight am sharing some pictures of what life has looked like over the past month or so.

| Cousin love! |
 |
| We are blessed to have extended family that likes to get together. |
 |
| And family that likes to play together. |
 |
| Look at these 2 guys! My hubby is in the white shirt and his brother in the red. Just before this picture was taken, they survived a near collision and run in with a tree while chasing a soccer ball. In the photo they are both trying to recover.:) Why are they still so incredibly competitive?!?! |
 |
| And he was sad because the cows were gone.:( Poor guy. |
 |
| My tiny, beautiful treasure! |
 |
| One of my favorite pictures of my guys. LOVE!! |
 |
For a couple of weeks we were sick. I mean SICK!! This is a picture after the healing began.
Did I mention we were SICK!!!!!
|
 |
One of the perks of living in the country- Redneck Slip-n-Slide!! YeeHaw! |
 |
Several weeks ago we were blessed with some free tickets to a Braves game. We love the Braves!
Two of my favorite ladies at the game.
|
 |
The group of kiddos we took to the game. Since the tickets were all free, we splurged and rented a 15 passenger van. FUN!! I dream of owning one now!
And yes, we left a certain sweet, innocent, quiet, still (NOT!) 2 year old home with Mimi. I think he (and we) was much happier there.
|
 |
Okay, do you notice something wrong with this picture? |
 |
| And this one? TAKEN THE SAME DAY!!! |
So, while I focus on "doing great work" I praise HIM for the incredible blessings He has entrusted into my care. Thank you, Lord.
In Him,
E
