Freedom

Freedom - what a beautiful word!  What are our freedoms?  I, personally, see freedom as free to live in peace, free to love others, free to worship my mighty God and free to live a life that God has given me - no matter what someone else says.  Not in a bad or stingy way - in a loving and gracious way.  In a way where I love God with all my heart, soul, mind and strength and others as myself.  What do you consider to be free?  What has God given you?  How do you want to live your life honoring Him?

Last blog I spoke about Jesus and His free gift of eternal life - well, now I want to dabble a little into the Holy Spirit and His gift of freedom!  How amazing - unconditional love from God and freedom through Him to give us the most amazing life!  God has given us the Holy Spirit, oh wow, the freedom, wisdom and discernment we have and what power we can access.  Our God is a might!  What an amazing picture we read from Acts 2 - the Holy Spirit comes in with wind, might and power - the disciples have fire like tongues come upon their shoulders - they could speak in a foreign tongue - amazing - wonderful - powerful - freedom!  That day over 3000 people accepted Jesus as their Savior - how beautiful!               

Last week I was in Idaho for a conference for work.  It was amazing, during this covid time it was freedom - freedom I needed.  Northern Idaho is beautiful and the people are gracious.  We didn’t have to wear masks or social distance because there have not been any (or if some - few) covid cases.  We were able to praise God, worship together and for this extrovert (yes, me) it was amazing!  I needed that!

The ability to worship God, be led by the Holy Spirit and have Jesus as my Savior is not only a free gift, but total freedom.  Below are some pictures that I was able to take on the trip.  God still amazes me and surprises me.  He is always giving great and beautiful gifts - He is so creative!                                      






Just some amazing views of Idaho - praying that hubby and I can go full time and experience what God has created together.  May God give you His peace that passes all understanding!  Please remember, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

God, the RV & me...

Buffalograss Who Knew?

What a week it has been, hot is the word for it. Actually, the tee-ball game last Thursday was moved from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and I was so glad about that. It cooled down to 96 degrees and that made it so much better. The weather also gives us beautiful skies.  These dark and mysterious clouds did not produce rain for us. I just love the way they look. Another picture of the moon. Monday was laundry day and that felt good to knock it out in one day. Funny, my washer/dryer takes 2 and a half hours for one little load, going into the house, I can knock laundry in a lot less time than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my washer/dryer. It was over three years ago we got this, so love being able to  wash in the RV verses a laundry mat. "Keeping it real" Tuesday was a gut-wrenching day, I woke up to find out one of my best friend's daughter has passed away. She found out she had cancer in 2020 and battled through that and even got to ring the bell, not only to find out later th

A Labor of Love

Working on the ranch is truly a blessing. I enjoy mowing and now that we have a new weed sprayer, I enjoy riding around on the Polaris spraying the paths to the feeders and deer stands. This was just water, needed to do that first to make sure all the sprayers worked. Tuesday, we went to Kirsten's house so hubby could see her deck and new chicken coop. She lives at a higher elevation than we do. I was able to take this picture of the sunsetting. So beautiful. Isn't God so creative! We have Mesquite trees around here, fun fact: they are not native to this area. They are a nuisance, and they have thorns. What they have that is good is pods and the deer like to eat them. I am trying to get the grass to grow more, I have a few mesquites that will be take out. I don't like the "messy" look, so trying to get this area looking better, of course with hubby's help. Can you see the pods? So, we have blink cameras and a game camera out and about the house, RV and by the

The Past Two Weeks

I'm back, so sorry about missing a post last week, this week I made sure to get one ready for you. This is officially my 181-blog post and I appreciate you joining in for the journey. We have been busy here in Iraan. We go into town almost every day just to dump trash, we also have driven to Fort Stockton, Ozona and Big Lake. Let me first put up some pictures from January 14th through the 20th. It was full of family, and it was frozen. Here is the family for our January Christmas. In the back are Stef, Robert, Connie and hubby.  In the front are my dad and Baine. Can you see Baine? Little icicles hanging off the cover. There is an icicle on the truck tire. Frozen winter wonderland. It was chilly out there, that is for sure, but we enjoyed being together and celebrating with each other. What a difference a week makes. It has thawed out and we are reaching nearly 70 degrees. As I am writing this it is currently 64 and should hit 67. Some days it seems as though I have to wear two dif
