Freak out?

You ever felt like this? I know I have.  When I saw this little sign I thought it was funny and I find that sometime I can really relate to this phrase in day to day life. In fact, in Bible study this semester we are starting a book called Unglued by Lysa Terkeurst

When I called the book store I kept asking for a book called Unplugged by the same author. At least I knew the author's name so the book store could direct me to the correct book. And after reading a smidge of the Unglued book, some of the unglued moments were me. I could have written the book myself, but I was too busy Panicking and freaking out.
But

you know when I feel like a little panic and freak out is in order, really all i have to do is look to the ONE who created it all in the first place, and there's no need to panic and freak out. Sounds rather preachy doesn't it, but it's true.

Now to just remember that HE holds today, tomorrow and the next day....

Momma's Favorite!

My kids, all four of them, compete with each other to be Momma's favorite. Just yesterday, Shek leaned over and said, "Hey, it's just us, you can tell me, I am you're favorite, right?"

 I've said it before, Momma loves all her kids the same. Each kiddo is unique with special talents, personalities, and quirks and I  love them all  the same. I 've got a bunch 'o love to go around, but I don't have a favorite kid.

BUT 

 Momma does have a favorite! 

and
That would be
Dad
Always has been always will be.

Fog on the Farm

The fog was thick today on the farm. 

It does look rather farm like, even though it's just the front yard. 

Fog

The fog comes

on little cat feet.

It sits looking

over harbor and city

on silent haunches

and then moves on.

Will run for chocolate?

This past Sunday morning, we woke up before the rooster crows and headed to the ATL for the HOT CHOC 5K. Shek and I signed up months ago for this race. It looked like fun, and the hoodie you get for running it was pretty cool. Karl snapped this photo of us as we waited to go into our corral. We had our AdvoCare products and were ready. I had  Spark,catalyst, O2Gold, and Arginine Extreme. Shek he had a Spark and rehydrate

At the end of the race, who did I see, but the hubster smiling at me. It was amazing out  of the zillions of people there I was able to spot him at the finish. We then got in a line and were given a finisher's mug of hot chocolate, a little fondue, some chocolate candy squares and a few things to dip in the chocolate fondue. It was actually a hot day for the race 70 ish degrees. We did not drink the hot chocolate, although it did look like the creamiest hot chocolate ever.

We ran into some friends at the race, and I was so thrilled to be done with the race, I didn't think to get our photos made with them. Maybe next time.

Isn't this a cute little mug. Baby girl got into the fondue when we brought it home. She had chocolate all over her. I found chocolate on her ankle. She was enjoying our finisher's mug.

These hoodies were in our goodie bags. We are wearing our hoodies today, it's actually cool enough today.

I think Shek is ready for the next 5k, but I think we need some new running shoes, Dad! hint hint!!
