The Path

You give me your shield of victory,
and your right hand sustains me;
you stoop down to make me great.
You broaden the path beneath me,
so that my ankles do not turn. Psalm 18:35-36



When I look at this picture I think of what this place use to look like...and believe me it didn't look like this.
As you know my boys sleep, eat and breath motorcycles and they are forever searching out places to ride, they found this spot and out the door they went with anything that would cut down a tree or could be used to move dirt. I'll be honest I thought it was impossible...wasted time...no way they could clear a path.

Never underestimate teenagers.

They had a vision and started clearing a path, cutting trees, hauling dirt and now we seem to be the place that all the boys from miles around flock to with their dirt bikes...(my apologies to the neighbors)

So my question is are you looking for a path?

Searching to only find the path is over grown with stuff...people, lack of money, doubters, tall grass, stumps, rocks.

Maybe you have been on a path and as you walk it seems to get narrower, the weeds seem to be covering what was once your vision and you feel like you can't take one more step, there just seems to be to many rocks, to many people asking you "Where in the world are you going?"

The Bible Says God has given you his shield of victory, and his right hand sustains you...If he has called you (***NOTE*** He has called all of us) then he will see you to your victory, and with every step his hand will sustain you and hold you up.

And that path?

Well, that path that seems so impossible will begin to widen...rocks will be moved...buckets of dirt will be hauled away, trees will be cut, doubters will disappear...

That's how much he loves you...

He will always go before you...

"He broadens the path beneath me,
so that my ankles do not turn."

So if your looking at a path that you think you will never be able to walk down grab a bucket and something to cut some trees and watch what God will do!

Blessings!

Love my Boys!

We had the greatest weather here in Kentucky this weekend! Chad Allen and Chase couldn't wait to ride I ventured to the top of the hill to take a few pictures...Missed a lot of good shots, because My oldest (Chad) nearly made me have a heart attack, and because I closed my eyes a lot...here are a few..and Of coarse A "few" of Peyton Thomas too...





















So maybe that was more than a few...(grin)

Blessings!

Christmas 2010 Memories...

Jam cake...

Green felt stockings stuffed with one orange and one apple...

Rook games til midnight...

Cousins that would have the opportunity to torture me once a year by hanging me upside down by my feet (Tony and Timmy...)

Pop Pop shaking every gift to see if any money might be hid in it, and Grandma reading the notes aloud that were in her packages sent from Aunt Carol and Aunt Jan...
Santa (Which was Bob Barnett every year) entering the front door and passing out candy canes...

Never understanding what the adults could possibly talk about so long while eating dinner (dinner first presents after dinner...)

Memories forever engraved in my mind, that seem like it was just yesterday. If I could go back I think I would eat the jam cake a little slower..

Say thank you more than once for the one apple and one orange in my green felt stocking...

Watch a rook game and actually learn how to play..

Hide money in every gift Pop Pop had and take in the look on my Grandma's face a little longer as she beamed with joy while reading notes from her girls...

Hugged Santa's (Bob Barnett) neck for even thinking about entering the Mosby house on Beech Grove Road...

Thank the adults for talking about EVERYTHING for HOURS so I could spend more time with my family (yes even Timmy and Tony)

Memories are made everyday and even the smallest thing could be something that shoots you straight back in time, like you were there all over again. It may not be green felt stockings, jam cake or rook games but we all have something that takes us back in time... Praying you will take time to make memories with your family that they will cherish and share with others someday.

Blessings, M

Peyton's First Christmas Pictures

If you must know I thought it would be quite easy to take a few pictures of a sleeping baby....

Well I was wrong...

Never knew the damage such a little person could do with his diaper off, lets just
say a baby with his belly full and no diaper on whom decides to sneeze equals a little fire power!

And did I mention the baby only went to sleep for about 2 minutes?

He sure gave me a run for my money but we managed to get some really good pictures out of it....
