*correction*
note to self: the last day of Pesach was Sunday, not Saturday. Passover is one day and the the feast of unleaven bread for seven days after that.
"spring float recliner"
Yesterday David and I went to the beach, it was absolutely beautiful! It was overcast and you could tell that a storm would blow in later. The waves looked like jade in contrast with the creamy sand. David's latest toy, a raft thing for the pool was taking it's maiden voyage. the waves we're incredible and some maybe 4-5 ft. tall! we rode our "spring float recliner" and had a blast!
we ended the day grilling out for the first time by the pool and had jumbo hebrew nationals to celebrate the conclusion of Pesach!

shabbat at the beach
we're off to spend shabbat at the beach watching the waves bow at His feet. as it's the last day of pesach i'm sad that it's ending. i've loved the truth that G-d has revealed to me and just the cleaning out. i've seen cleansing not only in my life and heart but in our marriage as well.
shabbat shalom!
shabbat shalom!

frustration!
the thing that i seem to hate most about applying for a job is the resume and cover letter. just what am i supposed to tell these people. i don't want to write a lot of b.s. and while i know that i am an efficent typist, i have no clue how many words per minute that i type.
i always get so frustrated with something that i don't know how to do and don't want to do. but when it's all said and done i have completed and overcome. it just doesn't help that the last cover letter you wrote was rejected within about sixty seconds.

Joel
I'm currently writing an article about a little boy named Joel. He has cystinosis and his story has touched my life. I'm left with the disire to do something, raise awareness and support.
His family is precious and Dawn his mom has such a good heart. G-d truly has Joel in her life for such a time as this.

EVERYTHING has a purpose
So it is almost 1am and i should be going to bed, but for some reason i'm just not there yet. and there are still dirty dishes to be done. oy vey!
things have been really hard lately as far as emotions go. i feel as if i'm on a roller coaster that i can't stop. happy one minute then crying and so sad the next. i think the biggest issue with all of it is finding where i belong HERE. leaving my life and in essence my childhood was harder than i ever imagined it to be. i just knew that G-d has said that this was what and where i should be, married to David.
i'm not sure why but looking back, at least with David and going to Israel I just knew that it was G-d and I didn't really stop to think about how i would feel. i know that you can expect things, like you're going to miss people, things will be different etc. but i didn't ever expect to feel how i felt or how i feel now.
i am trying to see what G-d is teaching us through this experience. We left a fantastic, supportive mishbocha (family) in Macon and in a sense are having to rebuild that foundation here.
I went back to Assembly, a Wednesday night bible study at a church here in town, for the first time in a couple of weeks. The days that I don't feel like going but then actually make the effort to and go, G-d shows me so much and really encourages me.
Tonight the teaching was on Moshe and his life and the way he dealt with injustice. we went through the lesson and read Exodus 2, as well as discussed how we all viewed everything. I realized how G-d used Moshe's inadequacy or what man would call a character flaw for HIS glory. Moshe was so outspoken and would not compromise when it came to justice. even when his passion got him in trouble Moshe was still always himself, but learned a lot along the way. Though his life G-d was teaching him lessons, preparing him even when Moshe didn't know it and G-d even took 40 years to change him on one thing!
The whole teaching really taught me that no matter what i've been through, where i am or where i am going, G-d is using it ALL for the calling he has on my life. whether it is one moment in history or a message for the nations, he is ultimately shaping my heart to where he wants it.
Knowing that what i am going through now is not in vain really encouraged me to press on. Keep running the race and fighting the fight. My mom told me yesterday "G-d will open the doors but you have to push them." Though G-d is opening the doors i have to make an effort to find them, and as I do i am learning just what He is molding me into, what my calling is and that it is worth the price.

Steping Out
I have been thinking a lot lately of starting yet another blog. This one is just for me and my thoughts on life and whoever wants to listen. So much has happened and so much has changed and with that comes new emotion, feelings, seasons, places and even a new me.
So as I step out into this new season of my life, I want a place to record it, times, places and things. Ups and downs, highs and lows and all of the above.
