Update City

So, so much has been happening here lately. But really, will it ever stop? No, who am I kidding. A new season, a new set of changes. Otherwise life would be static. And boring. Yechh.

This is really just a quick update. Or you could say this teeny little post is a way for me to remind myself of bigger posts that I need to write. Yikes, this sounds boring.

Okay, let’s keep moving here.

Update #1: In July I had a brain MRI due to headaches and abnormal dizziness {not to be confused with normal dizziness}. I am happy to say the results showed no tumors of any kind. Thank you, Jesus! Instead, I have something called Meniere’s disease, which is not life-threatening so I really don’t know why it’s called a disease at all, but those ponderings are for another post.

Update #2: Yes, we are still planning to sell our house and hit the road for a year in an rv. It’s been a while since I last mentioned this life-changing plan, but that post is coming up soon as well. In fact, I’ll be doing a regular series on that area of my life.

Update #3: I spent this past week following the Compassion bloggers on their trip to Guatemala via Twitter and their blogs. And my heart is wrecked. Much more on this soon.

Update #4: About one year ago I wrote about the top 10 reasons I love my iPhone. {Which sounds absurd after what I’ve been reading about Guatemala.} That was before TechDaddy upgraded me to the iPhone 4. And iOS4. Need I say more? Just wait until you read my post about this new and improved delivery from Apple. I’m guaranteed to sound like a techno-geek. {Which I’m not.}

Update #5: This year has been one of being intentional, and how I use my camera is no exception. Since January I have taken classes and workshops on how to rock my Nikon, and I’m loving it. I cannot wait to tell you about where God is leading me with this!

Update #6: This is our tenth year to homeschool the chicklets, and I’m pretty excited about where we are in this journey. With a 7th grader and a 9th grader, I have never been more content and relaxed with how our year has been going. For real.

Well, that’s it for now. I apologize for having no pictures in this post. What a faux pas…I’m so embarrassed! {crickets chirping} Okay, I’m over it! Each of these updates will be a future post {or series of posts} as I work life into the equation. Excuse me now while I skip off to spend some time recharging with my sweet family. {Where is my camera?!}

Praying for Snow

I know, I know. Just yesterday I was lauding the fact that here, in Florida, we have been without snow while almost the rest of the nation has been inundated with the stuff.

I have always been content that Florida has remained as God has intended this state to be. Snow-free.

So it might be a surprise to anyone reading this that I now want snow. Here. At my house.

{{A surprise to everyone but you, Honey, since you know how often I change my mind. Wink, wink.}}

In fact, I’m so eagar for snow that I’m praying for it. This is a surprise to me since snow has never been on my prayer list or shown up in my prayer journal. Not once.

But as the local weather forecasters have been dangling the idea of snow over my head for a few days now, I am very hopeful — prayerful — that the frozen precipitation will actually arrive at my house this weekend.

Notice that I said “arrive at my house“. I know full well that any snowflakes in these-here-parts will melt as soon as they hit the ground, if not sooner. C’mon, I was born but not yesterday.

I also have previous experience with Florisnow — my own favorite new label for silly snowflakes that try to fall in the Sunshine state. When I was a little cutie all of 8-years-old and living in South Florida, we were surprised with a mere shimmering of Florida snow in January.

I was home with the chicken pox and my mom called me to come outside. As my dad was getting ready to leave for work, we caught sight of little Flori-flakes {hee hee} melting as they landed on his coat. It was neato! I’ll never forget that moment.

And so I’d love to share a moment like that with my chicklets and hubby. We’ll see what God has planned. Nothing is impossible with Him. Even snow in Florida.
