Tempus Fugit

How does life slip by so quickly???  I chose the name of this entry from my seven years of working in a clock shop.  That latin saying is on a lot of grandfather clocks.  It means "Time Flies" and it is so true. 

At this point in my life, I begin a new chapter.  I quit the teaching job this year so will have every morning to myself now.  I began to think that maybe I could restart my blog entries again as I have more time to study and work on my spiritual life.  Hopefully, I will be able to do that.  I know that blogs are kind of a thing of the past but to be honest, I am not doing this for anyone else but me. 

Since my last post, we have added another grandbaby, Elijah Dean Cozart was born to Rena and Ryan on April 13, 2015.  He is a precious addition.  He is most always smiling and happy.  His siblings love him so much!! 

Jude is 5 now and will be entering Kindergarten next school year.  Emma is going to be 3 in September.  Hayden will be 2 in August and Elijah is 1.  When we get together it can get a little loud sometimes. 

It has been 10 years since Mike passed away and I still miss him, especially as my accompanist. 

This school year left me drained and exhausted.  I got my eyes off the Help that I needed and got it on my abilities.  That was not a good thing.  So consequently, it sapped all my physical and spiritual energy.  I am recuperating and hoping to regain my close relationship with our Heavenly Father. 

I was listening to a message today by Ravi Zacharias concerning how much God loves us and asking why.  I concur.....I do not know why God loves me.  Sometimes I feel like He should have thrown me away MANY times.  Thank you, Lord, for your love that can be trusted and your continual protection.  Without it, I would have been gone many times. 

I look forward to beginning a new chapter in my spiritual growth!!
