But Now...

'But now a righteousness from God', not man's righteousness, but God's, is 'apart from the law.' It has been made known, it is from God and through faith, faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. You see, God presented Him as a sacrifice, not a lamb or goat or of bulls, but of a son. 'God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement through faith in his blood' Not blood of an animal, but blood of His son, so that God might demonstrate His justice. There is no forgiveness without the shedding of blood. God presented, God justifies, not by man's works, but by God presenting His son for the atonement for forgiveness. The perfect sacrifice. But now, a righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ.
thank you Father for giving us your Son, that we may have the privilege of coming into your presence. it is by your grace we are able to take hold of salvation.

my how time flies

Wow! I can't believe its been so long since I blogged! Time really has just zoomed by(e)! A short update...I'm a new grams!! I know you all know, I just had to tell you! He came to see me today, yeah, his mom came too! Cute little guy! I think this is his aunt Lena holding him?

But that's just part of the busyness. The end of August I said good bye to my boss, Monda. With the slow down of construction, lay offs happen and so Aug 30th was her last day. which only means someone has to do all her work...hmmm...yes, and I'm not all that sure what her work entails. It has taken alot of energy on my part and my other co worker Beks, to fill Monda's shoes!


(okay they aren't Monda's shoes, just fun shoes and if you know Monda, she's all about fun shoes!)

One forgets how draining it is to learn new work, especially since this 'one' is old! But, I'm learning with each new situation!
Oh, yeah, and then my daughter had a baby!! and her sister-in-law and then her other sister-in-law! Yeah, 3 babies in one week! Hi five to Brenda and Ryan! Tired we all were! And Duane and I weren't all that involved! just a couple trips to the hospital! Several late nites, lots of new work at work, and holding the grand baby! It just takes time and so the blogging has not found a way into my time table! Though, one problem about blogging...I find myself blogging in my head! or making the comment, o I feel a blog coming on! Kinda like being conscience of what you wear when there is a family get together, knowing the pics will be taken and they need to look good in a scrapbook!! (Lorie's influence)

O! and then I decided to get a puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that wasn't smart on my part, in the midst, my older brother had to have major surgery...yeah, the puppy went back home...better decision! Sorry Em, no pics of the new/gone puppy! Though she was sweet and cute, I didn't really think it through...duh!!! I'm enjoying my old, blind, deaf, sick dog. she kinda fits us!
And the phone call my youngest brother is having TWINS!! O! is all I can say!!!
I take full responsibility of my emotions being completely out of control! I just let them have control over me!
So, that sort of brings me up to date, not that anyone other than my daughter reads my blogs, and maybe Em, but at least I feel like I can go forward getting this all out of my head!

PS: those leopard print shoes in the picture? I have lived in them this summer! the black strappy slides, not so much!
