Swingin'

I love, love, love how this card

turned out!  Cody and Pam are 

celebrating their 7th anniversary on the

14th of this month!  They seem so perfectly

matched and I am happy that they are

doing so well in their marriage.  Though

I've never seen any, as we know, 

every marriage has it's bumps

When I was looking through the  stamps

I came across this one which I 

thought was perfect and made me

giggle!  It's a swing card and it

came out perfectly the first time!

That usually doesn't happen when

I'm trying a new fold or moving

card, so I was both surprised

and happy!

Isn't that just the neatest card ever?  I

just love the movement of it.

I had a wonderful lunch yesterday and I

think we are well on the way to becoming

good friends.  I didn't really know her

well, but it turns out we have quite a bit in

common and I really enjoyed getting

to know her and just sharing some time
together.  I hope that our friendship will
continue to grow!

 The Lord has changed my  life a lot
in the last 4 months.  It's not pleasant
when He slams a door in our face.  I
wasn't happy.  I cried and complained and
finally came to the conclusion that He had
something better for me.  So I sat back
and tried (somewhat impatiently) to
wait for His timing and direction.  It always
pays off in the end if I can just be still
and listen for His voice.  That is not a
virtue that is innate to me, so I am still
working on that.  I am a WIP as we say
in the card/scrapbook group: a "work in
progress".  But isn't that what all Christians
are?  If we have "arrived" then what would be
the point?  God continues to work on
us daily to bring us closer to Him and
help us to see that as Children of God
He has a better idea of what we need
that we do.  And just as our children
did, we sometimes rebel against Him.
At least I do!  But then I've always been
rebellious anyway, according to my parents.
That's another story.   Personally I think
I'm a pretty fantastic person, LOL.  There
are those that would disagree with that
but everyone is entitled to their opinion-
even if it is wrong!  :)  Wow, I'm
kind of goofy today!  Better go watch
Supernanny.  I love that woman!
