It’s beautiful

I went on my first school trip with Zachariah yesterday!  60+ of us hurried onto the coach, giggling with excitement as we headed to Blue Planet! 

When Zachariah was asked how does a starfish move in the water, he replied “it’s beautiful”

Awwagh bless him!

Ecclesiates 3 v 11 “He has made everything beautiful in its time”

Indescibable

The story so far is that life is indescribable at the moment!

Life is full on…

We are moving as a family to here because of this great place!  We have been checking out schools and potential places to live. Check out here and here too (links are for you mum).  We are renting our house out for a while so we have been busy sorting out buy to let mortgages, renting agreements etc… oh the list goes on (hence no blogging done for a while…)

I have been sorting out everything in the house.  I am a hoarder and so it has been difficult to narrow our stuff down.  I recycle everything I can and find it hard to throw things away etc (example. do I really need to keep all the pictures the boys have ever drawn/painted?) 

Anyway I’m going to make an effort and post/read blogs everyday.  I have missed so much of what you have all been up to. Enjoy the week.

I think I’ll leave today with this!

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation’s revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God

All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God

Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

new focus

Maybe you’ve noticed I’ve not been around for a month.  Yep! I challenged myself to be blog free for one whole month.  I have managed it quite well except from a few visits here and there. My it was hard to cut you all out of my life for a while.  Though I did check out Isabella’s arrival to the world and the pictures from this lovely lady’s well deserved week away with her hubbie!

Anyway I’m spilling the beans and explaining why ‘once upon a time’ is the new focus for my blog name.

After giving up selling Tupperware and managing to celebrate a year of blogging, I felt it time for a different direction on what I do and say from my little blog.  I have met some of you along the way through your inspiring, honest, creative thoughts, words and pictures etc.  I hope we can continue to read the story together…. 

This is a new book, a new chapter and a new beginning…. So once upon a time….

I know of a little baby girl who was born.  What a lovely mummy she had to look after her – no daddy though.  Lots of smiley faces visited the little one whilst she spent some days, probably about two weeks in hospital – no smiley face from her mummy though as she was kept away.  Sometimes, as the baby girl starred at the smiley faces, moments of sadness would burst through their eyes as the mummy’s mummy died quite soon after the little one came along.  The doctors concerned themselves about how the ‘young’ mummy would look after her little one what with her little heart not strong.

A kind nurse bought a pretty dress and matching frilly pants for the baby girl.  A special moment happened at the hospital. Water touched the baby girl’s head and fingers of the chaplin signed the cross. Baptised so if she died God would be able to welcome her into the kingdom of heaven.

People still say today that that baby girl is special.  She sometimes forgets that but someone is usually close by to remind her…

(ps. i do my main blogging over at typepad ut thought I would give wordpress ago hee hee… lets see what happens….)
