On My Heart (vol. 2)

I thought from time to time it might be nice to give you a peek at what’s tugging at my heart strings.

Right now I am…

Celebrating: An old friend was in town over Easter, and I was delighted to learn that she is now a married woman. It was so much fun seeing how God has worked in her life, and her wedding album was beautiful. I love it when Jesus girls get happy endings!

Watching: I’ve tuned in to A.D., the Bible Continues on NBC, the last two Sunday nights. (I winced and closed my eyes through some of the more violent parts.) I also finally sat down to view Episode One of Your Big Family Renovation with Jen Hatmaker. I really enjoyed watching the Hatmakers do their thing and help out another big family with a limited budget. I could only find one episode though, so I am not sure if more are coming since Episode one aired at the beginning of March.

Reading: I just finished reading Chasing God by Angie Smith, and I am working my way through several other half finished books, including Heaven by Randy Alcorn (which is a million pages long and may take me a few years to finish!)

Planning: I’m dreaming about taking a dip in our new pool! That is if it ever gets finished….

Listening: I downloaded the new Passion Album Even So Come. My favorite new song on the album so far is “Draw Near” by Kristan Stanfill.

Making: I am making good use of my crock pot these days. I love how easy peasy it is to make a big hearty meal, and the whole house smells yummy yummy all day while the food is heating up. Here is my favorite “go to” meatball recipe. I make this whenever I have a big group of friends over, or if I have to take an appetizer to a pot luck.

Pondering: My dad discovered these great pictures of his parents recently. I never met them because they both passed away in Cuba when I was little. I find myself wondering how different my life might have been if that whole Fidel Castro thing hadn’t messed things up for my dad’s family.
