"I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing."  Ezekiel 34:26

So this was the verse for Jan 8th the day after I found out that I was going to Hawaii.  It is, of course, spot on as to what I was feeling about the miracle of going.  But the interesting thing is God's timing.  I had looked at the verse the day before as a preview for the next day.  I had thought not many pleasant thoughts about this verse, because the day before I was not being showered with blessings.  Things have been pretty tough lately, not to mention very tight with money.  So it was such a blessing to know that I was going to Hawaii.  Not only because it's Hawaii, but because it is a double show and I will be able to pay my bills and pay off some of my debt.  This is so huge for me as I had to be totally relying on God.  I felt I have been going through a dark time in life the past month or so.   In my life I have noticed that when it rains, it pours and when it's dry it's REALLY dry.  I know this to be true and during this time lately it was like I was banging my head against the wall.  I would pray day after day and nothing was happening.  It reminds me of the time in Daniel when he prayed and the Lord said when you prayed I sent the answer immediately, but it took three weeks to get there.  So I want to be able to see the purpose of when God provides the things that we need.  I, of course, want everything right now, but I guess I know that He knows best as to when is the right timing for me.  I want to continue to believe that God is like a Father who loves to give good gifts to His Children and that HE has the ultimate and best for me.

HAWAII

I had already made up my mind that I wasn't going.  So left this matter in the trust of God.  Got a call yesterday to say that I am going.  I am going for work and I leave in less than a month. 

Three Contenders.

New hair is around the corner.  These are the three contenders that I have

1. Not quite this short but the bangs with more of a longer bob.

2. Yep I am going to look exactly Rhianna.  Prob not but this type of bob.  Then maybe graduate to bangs.....
3.  The classic bob.....which I think is going to be big in 2009.

Fashion Fades. Style Remains.

What a great and interesting palette of pales. Hard to do (the interesting part.)  Done very well.

Love this mix of hipster and class.  Done very well.  Plus I love the bike snuck in there.

I am guilty.

Wake up, believers, from your lowly condition!  Throw away your laziness, sluggishness, coldness, or whatever is interfering with your pure love for Christ.  Make Him the Source, the Center, and the One who encompasses every delight of your soul.  Refuse to be satisfied any longer with your meager accomplishments.  Aspire to a higher, a nobler, and a fuller life.  Upward to heaven!  Nearer to God!
