Inspiration

Well, I have been inspired..... I guess seeing the month of May roll in, flowers start to bloom, my new blog background (what do ya'll think?), the sunny days, and the start of making plans for summer. I am inspired to post, write, take pictures, and be creative.

I was wondering if you all would tell me of some things that would would like to hear about? I don't know who really sees or reads these posts, but I would like to hear your ideas.

Have a good summer.

Thank you, Eden, for nominating me. I was surprised by this recognition. I enjoyed answering the questions asked of me.

1. What is your favorite verse and why?
Romans 8: 28 "And we know that all things work together for good, to them that love God, to them that are called according to His purpose." I really treasure this verse, because I think this verse reflects God's goodness for those who seek and love Him. God knows what is best and what He grants us is His best eventhough we could have a different answer. There are times it is easy and times I will be learning how to love the Lord with all my heart and accept His version of goodness.
