albany, babies, and a double stoller

my trip down to albany was an awesome time to just get away for the weekend. the babies got to put their new double stroller to the test and loved walking down to an elementary school to play on the playground. i just have to say that i love the stroller too! freedom! ha ha ha! the highlight of the trip (other than family of course!) was the cinnamon rolls. if only i could somehow allow you to smell these. ahhh...nothing beats waking up to mom's homemade cinnamon rolls.
both mornings we enjoyed these hot and fresh out of the oven. heaven!

trains! trains! trains!

one of my Christmas presents to Meshach this year was a trip down to albany on the amtrak. last friday, we headed out for our big adventure! it was so exciting. i had a blast! we brought books and other things to do, but none of that was needed...we didn't even touch them. the hour and forty-five minutes was filled with happy chatter of what we were seeing. he loved pointing out everything outside and he thought there was another train every time our train whistle blew. the picture of the two of us sums up the whole experience. he could barely stop looking out the window! this was one of my favorite Christmas presents too!

my online life journal

i'm starting to write a new blog consisting of what i'm reading in my life journal. i'm praying that making it public may help me read the bible more consistently and that it will encourage and inspire anyone who reads it. for all of you who aren't sure what a "life journal" is, it is simply a way that my church, East Hill Fourquare, has equipped us to grow as a church. the journal lays out a reading plan that you can find at http://www.easthill.org/resources/readingplan.cfm. feel free to check it often and keep me accountable if you haven't seen a post for a while.

blessed.

God has really been opening my eyes to how he has blessed me with my friends. yesterday i enjoyed an awesome lunch with quiche, cucumber sandwiches and expresso/chocolate chip muffins. although the food was amazing, it is now gone and only the recipes and memories of tastes remain. the friends however, i anticipate will be with me for a long time. i can't express how much that means to me. i have pushed myself to reach out to others more recently and been more open about all that is going on in my life. i have been blessed beyond belief. i have always shied away from sharing everything, because i do NOT want to be the dramatic or burdensome person that people roll their eyes about or avoid. God has been stretching me. it has been uncomfortable at times, but He has surrounded me with amazing people. why don't i enjoy the stretching process more when i know that EVERY time i have stepped out in faith, i get blessed?

HOW IS GOD STRETCHING YOU?
