We are Fishermen

Our part is the trusting; it is His to accomplish the results. And when we do our part, He never fails to do His, for no one ever trusted in the Lord and was confounded. Do not be afraid, then, that, if you trust, or tell others to trust, the matter will end there. Trust is the beginning and the continuing foundation; but when we trust, the Lord works, and His work is the important part of the whole matter. And this explains that apparent paradox which puzzles so many. They that say, "In one breath you tell us to do nothing but trust, and in the next you tell us to do impossible things. How can you reconcile such contradictory statements?" They are to be reconciled, just as we reconcile the statements concerning a saw in a carpenter's shop when we say, at one moment, that the saw has sawn asunder a log, and the next moment declare that the carpenter has done it. The saw is the instrument used; the power that uses it is the carpenter's. And so we, yielding ourselves unto God, and our members as instruments of righteousness unto Him, find that He works in us to will and to do of His good pleasure, and we can say with Paul, "I labored; yet not I, but the Grace of God which was in me."

I know my life is not my own.

And I was bought with a price.

But I find stepping out in faith is so very scary.

Casting my net over the side of the boat almost all the time seems more that difficult.

But I will do it.

I love my Lord.

And he will not forsake me.

So I am casting my net.

Is He Around The Corner?

This was part of the view from my farmers market table yesterday.

I just kept half expecting Godzilla to come crashing through between those two buildings.

and then I come home after the farmers market and this little guy made me jump.

I guess one of the kids thought the safest place to store their cicada was on the ledge of the kitchen sink.

Good thing we do not have a disposal...

Haha

A face only his mother could love.

Pretty Day At The Park

Josh on the swing

Joel

I think every boy needs his own pair of Indian pants.

Joel with two missing front teeth.

I will never stop smiling when he talks.

What is left over from our stop at The Daily Grind

I never got the fascination of this particular park attraction...

SO sweet!!

Where are the other younger kids? I was wondering that as well. We thought they would meet up with us after they were done at the library (this particular park is just in back of our local library) but the never saw us and went home.

Maybe next time girls!

Did I Show You?

We received THE BEST extras a few weeks back!

I do not even know who dropped this tasty meal treat off. One of he kids answered the door.

But whoever you were THANK YOU!!!

There was enough for all of us to eat until we were over stuffed as well as at least three of the kids' friends!!

Chicken salad, fruit, dinner rolls...

and cake!!!!!

Lots of everything.

Life Is Good

so let's enjoy a popsicle treat in the air-conditioned grocery store today...

and stay up a little later sewing projects for my Etsy shop.

I know some of these skirts look familiar to you. These are mostly duplicates of skirts I already made but these are just in different sizes.

Saturday's Farmers Market

I am still playing catch-up. So do not mind my back posts. I just need to keep things in order. It is a 'Tina thing' ...

Saturday was a pretty fun day at our local farmers market.

There were quite a few booths selling so many fun things!

Here is a little peek of us cleaning up after most everyone else left.

I sold all eight loaves of my breads but my blueberry lemon cake pieces did not go over real well.

They do not look very tasty after being in the sun for a few hours.

I am still trying to figure out what my signature baked good is.

So far it is not the blueberry lemon cakes, my cutie cherry pies, monkey bread, or my cookies...although the chocolate chip macadamia nut ones people seemed to like...

~sigh~

I kind of wish I was a better baker.

BUT I can make that sewing machine of mine create some beauty.

Isn't the little suitcase SO cute! I found it at a garage sale just Friday for only a dollar! It is now one of my top things I own. And it is a cute display prop!

My '11th hour' crew.

My wagon is getting pretty packed. Each week it seems I am trying to fit 'just one more thing' in the wagon.

While I was pulling my wagon down the street to the farmers market Saturday morning my neighbor saw me and said, "I see they finally had enough of you and kicked you out."

I know he was joking

BUT

Umm...could he really have heard me being all loud, and whiny and fussy and bicker-ish towards Jeff the night before...?

I am kind of convicted.

I am SO pretty embarrassed.

I should REALLY practice the art of holding my tongue or at the least whisper more.

In Search of...

my little corner in life.

You know, where I 'fit in'.

If you find it, please let me know...

What Do I See?

"I look and what do I see?
I see lots of pretty
and a lot of happy
and a bit of everything that's there inside of me.

I look and what do I see?
From a head all filled with thread and linen in a raggy jamboree
I see lots of smiling
and a lot of singing 
and a lot of something else that no one else can see.

Lots of butterflies in the air
Lots of honeycomb everywhere
All the pretty things we could share
Together"
