Nampa/Boise Trip


I had so much fun in Nampa this past weekend.  I drove down Friday after work and hung out with Nathan that night and then Saturday we drove into Boise and went to breakfast at Goldy's (a little breakfast place that everyone loves down there).  While we waited for our table (about 30 minutes) we decided to walk around the Farmer's Market that was going on over on the next block.  After having fun at the Farmer's Market and then having some delicious breakfast, Nathan took me to the Idaho Botanical Gardens. 

It was such a neat place.  It will be beautiful in the Spring and Summer when all of the flowers are blooming, but it had several flowers still blooming and the autumn colors were beautiful.  Since it is getting close to Halloween, the Botanical Gardens were having a Scarecrow Stroll.  Several different people had made Scarecrows and you could walk around the gardens and vote on your favorite top three choices.  The scarecrows were all very creative.  Here are a few pictures of some of the different types of Scarecrows.



Here is Nathan posing in this fun little building :)


I couldn't resist taking a picture of this scarecrow;  how fun is that :)


And since I work in a hospital, I had to take a picture of Nurse Betty the scarecrow.




This scarecrow is shaped like a golden retriever dog.  Very creative!!


I thought my nieces and nephews would get a kick out of Spongebob Scare Pants :)

Victory

Exodus 14:14  says "The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace." When you are in the middle of a trial, it feels like it is never-ending.  Will we be able to conquer?  Will the battle plan actually work?  The devil just keeps attacking and the battle feels like it just won't stop.  Even when we know the battle plan is solid and we know what to do, it is hard.  At times, God tells us to hold our peace and He will fight the battle for us.  Do you know how hard it is to just surrender control to God?   God has been dealing with my heart lately that we need to start proclaiming the victory over all situations.  Over the sickness that we are fighting, over the stressful situations that you may be facing, just proclaim victory over your life.  We need to proclaim God's victory.  He wrote the battle plan.  He knows what your future holds.  God even understands the stress from the middle of the battlefield.

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see  him  not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith,  even  the salvation of  your  souls. What is your impossible situation?  What is your I need a miracle situation?  I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control.  We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth.  We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious me...

Broken Glass Jewelry

Do you ever feel like you have been put on a shelf and no one ever truly sees you anymore?  Do you feel like your life has been shattered and you aren't sure how to put the pieces back together or even if you want to try and put them back together again?  Life can be messy and stressful and difficult, but it can also be beautiful amidst all of the struggles. One of my hobbies is making broken glass jewelry.  Do you know the process is very interesting to make this jewelry.  First, you have to find some cool china or maybe it's not that cool yet, but you see the potential of what it could be.  Have you ever thought that might be what God is looking at when he looks at you?  Do you know that God sees so much potential in you that you can't even see at this particular point in time in your life.  When we are broken or facing difficulties in life it is hard to feel like we have any value in us, but God sees so much potential when He looks at you. In making...
