Heavy Heart

I recently saw a slideshow on one of the major news agency's websites that documented the Egyptian demonstrations in Cairo. The images were chilling. Their faces illumined with purpose & determination. Willing to stop at nothing in order to procure freedom. I've been educating myself on the history of Egypt and the plight of it's people. The years of oppression by money hungry leaders while the people continue to struggle with the effects of poverty. I confess I have not prayed for these people nor have I really cared. I've become so wrapped up in my own little world that I forgot to pray. It's disgusting really... But today marks change. Webster defines CHANGE as "To make a radical difference". I believe my prayers will make a radical difference. Will you join me?

Joel Rosenburg posted this on his blog on Friday: "Please keep praying for Egypt’s 80 million people — for freedom, for safety, for courage, and for the gospel to be spread to an entire nation desperately needing God’s love and plan for their lives."

I can't wait to see how my prayers are answered!

Winter Wonderland... Our biggest snow of the year so far...

Snow Day...

Ahhhh Glorious Snow Days....There's just something about them that I love. It's like they're an extra gift from God...sent just for me. It's almost as if God says, "Here, have an extra day to do laundry, clean your house, spend time just being quiet...read, listen to some music and just enjoy being still. And so as not to "waste" these precious gifts...I oblige my maker and indulge in the stillness and beauty.
Project #1: Organize my dresser....

After the project is complete...

Coffee & books are a snow day "Staple"...

notable quotes...

I'm one of those girls who can't make up their mind when asked about their "Favorite color" or "favorite food". Those "favorites" seem to change about as often as the weather here in Kansas City. One day I like pink, the next I'm all about blue. It certainly has something to do with my mood and how confidant I'm feeling about myself that day. It seems silly to say it but it's the truth. You may be thinking, "What does this have to do with anything"....she's is being rather random at the moment. Perhaps that also is truth..however...let me explain. As 2010 came to a close and 2011 presented itself I began looking for quotes that would sum up my thinking about the end of a year and the start of a new one...and I ran across this quote by T.S. Elliot. I'm tempted to say "It's my favorite", however I'm sure I will post many other quotes on here that I also spout off as favorites...So for now I'm just gonna say that I really, really, really like it! Do you have a favorite quote? (or one you really, really, really like?) Please post a comment & share!

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language, And next year’s words await another voice.
