Hummie's Themed Thurday - Comfort

click on photo to enlarge

I wasn't sure what how to do my lo at first. I looked at Hummie's and hers was about the comfort of wine. Which made me realize I don't really do anything to comfort myself.

When I think of comfort the first thing that comes to my mind is my bed! lol But I couldn't take a picture of that because then I have to make it (something I rarely do...sad but true) and my husband was already in it. Before I had kids cups of tea and long soaks in the tub were so comforting to me. Now thats a luxury I can rarely afford. (time wise i mean).

Anyway I needed to dig a little deeper and that is how I came up the journaling.

Journaling reads:

I find great comfort in the truth of God’s word. Knowing that all my needs and my family’s will be met. In mark 6:25-34 he tells us not to worry about what we will eat or drink, or wear. He already knows what we need. And if we seek him first and his righteousness all these things will be given to us. He also says do not worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Isn’t that the truth! We have been greatly blessed by the Lord. I am so thankful for all he has given to me the good and the bad. All my experiences made me the person I am today. While I believe I am still a work in progress, it is comforting to know that God is always with me. If I should stumble and fall or should I fall flat on my face he is always there to hold my hand and lift me back up. Amen for that!

Hummie's Themed Thurday - work

Here is my lo for Hummie's themed thursday's this week.

I also wanted to let you know that I probably won't be posting much for a while. I will still try to do hummie's themed thursdays and filter fridays. But other than that I won't be around much.

Life has just gotten too busy and I am so far behind. I have not been motivated to design at all. Partly from lack of sleep. Since my oldest started school it seems like someone is always sick and waking up all through the nite. Right now my littlest one is sick and her poor nose is running like a faucet. Lack of sleep usually doesn't bother me so I stay up til 1 or 2 in the morning to get stuff done. But I can only do that for so long before getting burned out. Well I'm burned out and the little ones are not sleeping at all So I'm taking a little break.

We also got some bad news about a month ago. My husband's grandma found out she has cancer (she's 80 something). The doctors are not sure what kind it is yet but it's pretty much through out her entire body and bones. So the outlook is not so good. Her daughter (dh's mom) will be flying in on Wednesday to see her and our family for at least three weeks...

I will be back tomorrow for Filter Fridays...

Hummie's Themed Thurday - Joy

My layout for Hummie's Themed Thursday. This week is joy. I choose to use a picture of some blue hyacinths from my garden last spring. They are one of my most favorites flowers. The color and the fragrance are so beautiful. They were also my grandma's favs. She was such a joy to be around and a sweetie. I miss her. I created the effect by playing with the lighting highlights and shadows. Eventually I'd like to add her photo too. I only have a few and they're tucked away in a box somewhere...
I'm going to attempt Moms and munchins today. Its a group at church for moms and kids. The kids get to play while the moms watch a video and fellowship. My two youngest are pretty clingy so not sure how well that's going to fly. Wish me luck!

Have a great day!
