Someday

.I have been thinking about the word "someday" alot lately. We seem to throw that word out there when we are wishing of what will come next in our lives. Its a word that gives us hope and reasons to dream...... I know for me, my thoughts have been:
Someday I will have a bigger house and can have more guest come over
Someday I will have a new car
Someday I will buy nicer things
Someday I will get a better (teaching) job
Someday my husband will graduate seminary
and countless more somedays cross my mind....
I walk in the mall and I see a furniture store, or if I walk in Kirlands, or Hobby Lobby etc.... and I see all these cute things that I want to put in my house and I think, maybe one day I can decorate my house really cute with some of these things.

We live and base our lives on someday. But we cannot count out today. After all, doesn't scripture tell us thats its the one day we have. Tomorrow does not exist yet. (James 4:13-17)

I am not saying to stop hoping and dreaming and planning for your future. Go right ahead and plan. I am going too!!! We cannot help but dream and think about good things that we want. But we must remember that only one Man has the plans marked out for our lives (I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord) and also remember if He choses not to give us everything we wish for someday (big house, new car, TEACHING JOB) we still have everything because Jesus+everything= everything and Jesus + nothing= still equals EVERYTHING

Christ is everything. He is sufficient. Don't grumble and complain when you (or I) dont get what we want because if we have Christ...then we dont need anything else. He died for us, that should be enough.

Having good things is not bad, but remember the One who gave them too you. So dont stop wishing for someday things...its good to dream and hope!!! But remeber Christ and make TODAY count for Him!

Trying New Things

I haven't had much to blog about lately. For the most part things have been normal (work, erands, etc...) but this week has been a little different. It has been a week of trying new things.

1. Cade and I planted a vegetable garden. Cade has had a little gardening experience, I on the other hand had no idea what I was getting into, but I thought it was a good idea and I thought it would be fun. So a gracious couple in our church gave us a little land and we planted our little garden. We planted squash, bell pepper, okra, tomatoes, corn and egg plant. I really hope it turns out!!!!!!

2. I made my first birthday cake (I know you're probably thinking, "big deal: cake mix and a can of icing and you got a cake right?" NO!!! Little did I know that when I started this project, that I was about to embark on a 5 hour jouney!! Thank you Sonia Jenkins for you guidance in this project. I have gained new respect for all of those professional cake decoraters! My cake was just a two layer cake (layers not tiers) So I can only imagine how long it takes to make the three, four, or five tier cake. Although I know they are the professionals and this was just my frst attempt! It may not be picture perfect, but I think my mom will like it. I will post pics later, but I want what it looks like to be a surprise for my mom!


So this may not have been the most interesting update, but its what is going on with life right now!
