HI, friends…I decided to break out of the mold, and start something new, as several things have been stirring in me about my blog posts since before my vacation, which was amazing! So here I am, That alone should keep me busy for awhile…so hoping and praying for the real me to come out here and really get into what I believe and why I believe it.

I have been praying about headcovering lately...that if it wasn't from the Father (for me), then to take away the desire to do it...Well, its been a couple weeks and the desire is still there...and I also asked for a sign.

It's so wonderful to have a set apart time, that isn't defined by what you are doing, but rather by what you aren't. It's not defined by a building, or people in a building, it's defined by your relationship with God. You can be anywhere, and just at that "appointed" time sundown friday night to the sundown on theShoshanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11957031322884781690noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273381494899439217.post-656953212778566662012-11-19T16:34:00.001-08:002012-11-20T17:40:23.580-08:00Live streaming....Live stream is usually associated with internet podcasts, video being broadcast via the web.

A few days ago, a friend of mine asked me if I could make a bracelet for her, and make it all pretty neutral, except a little color of pink here and there. So, I made it and I think it came out really pretty. All clear glass beads and white beads, except a little pink glass beads with irridescent accents. Also, it had silver accents. So, just a fun thing for me, I'm glad I got to do this, Shoshanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11957031322884781690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273381494899439217.post-17126475521719631862012-07-28T20:48:00.003-07:002013-04-06T16:56:26.317-07:00Stumble pie, I'll have a piece, no make it two...Today is Shabbat, which means it is Saturday.

It is the HaYesod of my faith in Yeshua Ha Mashiah (Jesus the Messiah).

Today as part of our Sabbath, we went to the river. It is about 25 yards from our front door, we are so blessed! We went down to our little "spot" where we can be together, play, enjoy, relax, listen, talk, meditate, cool off!
Below, is our little "spot" that Marty made for us, sort of a place to lay down or sit and just let the water go over you and really relax you, and cool you off (when Shoshanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11957031322884781690noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273381494899439217.post-60941181472900096512012-07-13T13:09:00.002-07:002012-07-13T13:16:10.400-07:00The rock has glassesFor the past few days, we have been looking for a family member's glasses! They lost them and couldn't remember where they dropped, or if they had just been misplaced. So, on the journey we go, looking, searching, thinking, PRAYING, asking around town "have you found a pair of glasses?", thinking more, talking it out, you know, the usual routine when you have lost an item.

Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” So Shoshanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11957031322884781690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273381494899439217.post-3427659223674068602012-07-12T21:01:00.000-07:002012-07-12T21:43:24.099-07:00week or weak?We have been home from our vacation a little short of a week now...And even though we had a great time, we were both really tired from the drive, especially him ,as he did all the driving on the way home! 10 hrs straight, except potty stops and coffee fills...(potty for doggies and coffee for us, haha!), mostly anyway.

I was praying we did, as I know we were really short on Friday afternoon, but I didn't want to lift a big bag of dog food, killing my back, so I decided to let it slide and see what would happen.

It is easy to say, that everything is a coincidence, a fluke, a matter of being in the right place at the right time, or the wrong place at the wrong time.....I don't believe that. I will tell you about my life, a little slice of it from when I was born until about 10 yrs of age.....
