I find myself getting inspired by the smallest things I encounter. I wonder if I have always been like this and am just now more aware of it or if moments are beginning to force themselves on me so that I might wring them of every drop. I have been so busy and yet I feel I have so much to accomplish. It has been a while since I have gone to bed this exhausted. My little jam endeavor has been off the hook, crazy, wild. Never would I have imagined the response. It has been a blessing and it is something I really enjoy doing. I even ordered some cute little calling cards because I got tired of making them all by hand. Sadly, the kids have had to postpone their trip to Africa...too many things going on at once, but that's ok. I believe things happen for a reason. When they are able to go in a few months, they will be better prepared. Tomorrow, Susanna (my son's girlfriend) arrives back home from her trip to Kabale and we will have lots of pictures to soak in. Something tells me it's best for everyone to stay close to home for a few months....to better prepare, to pray, and to enjoy some family time together. As per a request or two I am putting the jam paypal option back up on my blog...for as long as jam is available. I thank (from the bottom of my tired little heart) those who have shown support by purchasing jam and/or left encouraging words. I think those of you who visit here are incredibly special and unique....just like some of the jam requests I've received!

Sorry the kiddos can't go as expected but everything happens for a reason...And do you make fudge???HAhahaha....HUGHUG
I am convinced that there are no "small things." I share, with You, My Precious Joni, the blessing of seeing the myriad Elements of life through the 'lens' of The One who created it ALL with infinite care ... and Love. So much to celebrate!!
I adore all that is the Wonder of You ...
The trip will come and the wait only makes the anticipation more intense. Enjoy your family!
in God's time........i'm sure everyone is excited to see susanna...and hear and see all she has to share...it will make their hearts burn all the more i'm sure!
blessings to you dear joni....and your "sweet" self!
love you,
kimberly
It's almost 3 in the morning and I'm dreaming of fudge!!Hahahahaa..night sweetie!hughugs
I agree "everything happens for reason". Take some time and enjoy your family.
I'm sure there is a reason that the kids can't go on their Africian adventure just yet. And if the time isn't right, it's best they postpone a bit. You're right that everyone will be more prepared later on.
Blessings on your visit with Susanna. She will have the stories and photos to share, I can imagine.
And blessings on you, too, my friend! Thinking of you way up here in Alaska and wishing you a wonderful day.
Whew, Joni, you sound tired! Hope you can get a break while the kids are all there!
Thanks for your visit to my flowers...am intrigued by your reference to "getting those (grevilleas) in your hair as a child"..walking to school...at home?
God's blessings on all the adventures, African and otherwise!
I LOVE YOU! and I have to agree there is a reason for the Africa trip not to happen as they had planned, all for a good reason, if it was meant God would have intended it to happen, I so believe that with all my heart, and God will revel a time that HE wants them there, not when they want to go. Enjoy your visit with Eriks girlfriend, enjoy her here and soak in all the beauty of her visit.
LOVE always~
