“In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…”

Remember the bud I shared the other day that was full of potential? In just a few short days that small bud has turned into this amazingly beautiful flower. Time, water, and sunshine produced this gorgeous flower from the small bud. It is hard to imagine that all of these large beautiful petals were contained in that small bud. This picture cannot even come close to capturing the amazing beauty of what this flower looks like in real life.

This is one way to wear false eyelashes! Lol! Happy Halloween!
Sometimes we just need to give ourselves a little bit more time to reach our full potential.
While this bud is beautiful in its own way, it has so much potential inside of it to be amazing! If we were to only judge this flower on what is seen right now at this very moment the flower is cut short of what it actually is meant to be. In just a few short days this bud will blossom and bloom into a large beautiful flower. Right now at this moment it is full of potential. All it needs is a little bit of sunshine, water, and time.
It is easy to judge ourselves and others on what we see before us, when in actuality we all have so much potential inside of us. Sometimes all we need is a little sunshine, water, and time to reach our full bloom.

I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed what God Has planned
I only know at his right hand
Stands one who is my Savior
I take him at his word and deed
Christ died to save me this I read
And in my heart I find the need
Of him to be my Savior
That he would leave his place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You called it strange so once did I
Before I knew my Savior
My Savior loves
My Savior lives
My Savior’s always there for me
My God he was
My God he is
My God he’s always gonna be
Yes living, dying let me bring
My strength my Solace from the Spring
That he who lives to be my king
Once died to be my Savior
That he would leave his place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You called it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior
My Savior loves
My Savior lives
My Savior’s always there for me
My God he was
My God he is
My God he’s always gonna be
My Savior loves
My Savior lives
My Savior’s always there for me
My God he was
My God he is
My God he’s always gonna be
My Savior lives
My Savior loves
My Savior lives
My Savior loves
My Savior lives

I believe that God is sovereign. I believe in His complete and total independent control over every circumstance, event, person, and creature at every moment in time through history.
God is in control of the big things and the little things. Sometimes it is easier to trust Him in the big things because there is nothing else to do but lean on Him. Sometimes in life things happen that are so out of our control that all we can do it turn to God and ask for his help and strength.
It can be easy to say to other people, “Just pray about it.” or “God is in control” or “Trust God to take care of you.” But when it comes time for the testing and the trials in my own life, sometime it is hard to see what God is doing.
Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
A while ago a friend of mine got a diagnosis of Leukemia. She was a single mom with a young son the same age as my daughter. She had so much faith that God was in control. She would even say that if she ended up dying from the cancer that she knew that there was a reason for it and that God had a plan. Last year she lost her battle with cancer and went to Heaven. I think about her all the time. She was such a great example of trusting that even if God didn’t choose to heal her from the cancer He was going to help her through the cancer.
Psalm 23:4
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
I pray all the time. I pray for big things and little things. No problem is too big or little to bring to God. God has answered my prayers! I have not always appreciated the answers, but despite that I have seen Him work through these hard times in my life.
I often pray for things such as:
“I don’t know where I am going and I am already running late! Please help me to not get lost or stuck in traffic.”
“Give me strength and patience to be the mother that my children deserve.”
“Help me to be kind and have a sweet spirit today.”
“Please help me to find a good parking spot”.
“Keep me safe as I drive my kids to and from school.”
“Guide my hands to get this IV on the first try.”
“Please give me an opportunity to be an encouragement to someone today.”
“Give me strength to not eat a Klondike bar because I know that there are still 3 in the freezer and I love them so much.”
“Please uncloud my judgment so that I will not compare myself to others.”
Isaiah 41:10
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Life is unpredictable. Bad things happen to good people. Friends and family members get sick, get cancer, and sometimes die. Knowing that I can leave all my worries and my fears with God, I don’t have to carry them alone, I don’t always have to be in control, give me such comfort. Knowing that God is sovereign gives me peace.
Psalm 61:1-3
Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. 2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

I have a secret that may just cause me to lose a friend or two, but I just have to get it off my chest…I don’t like Pumpkin Spice Lattes or pumpkin spice added in everything. I know, I know, my age, color, and gender suggests that I should, but I just really don’t. I’m sorry if you are hurt by this revelation, but I cannot go on living a lie. 😉

Our family had such a great time together this summer. We had a lot of fun traveling, going to the beach, the zoo, and the fair, swimming in the pool, spending time with friends and each other. The days of summer may be longer, but they really seem to go by so much faster.
Unfortunately, while I do enjoy the beauty of fall, it also means that the time of year has come that the summer break has to end. I wish summer break lasted all year long, but like all good things it must come to an end. My kids are now back in school and I am back to working more hours at the infusion unit. I am very grateful for a wonderful summer filled with happy memories.
