Noah trusted God.

He built an ark. Can you imagine the ridicule he suffered? I can’t.

He did all the things God told him to do.

When he released that dove to see if there was dry land, God sent him an olive leaf. It was a piece of hope.

It meant that God’s promises were true and the land was going to be dry again.

Can you imagine the stink of the ark full of dirty animals?

I’d be ready for dry land, wouldn’t you?

Would you wonder if the water would subside?

Wouldn’t that olive leaf be a wonderful sight.

I love the olive leaves God sends my way.

I believe His promises.

After another forty days, Noah opened the window he had made in the boat and released a raven that flew back and forth until the earth was dry. Then he sent out a dove to see if it could find dry ground. But the dove found no place to land because the water was still too high. So it returned to the boat, and Noah held out his hand and drew the dove back inside. Seven days later, Noah released the dove again. This time, toward evening, the bird returned to him with a fresh olive leaf in its beak. Noah now knew that the water was almost gone. Genesis 8:6-11

Question 1
What can you draw well? I draw a mean Garfield! I love to doodle! My kids are very proud of this fact and often have me draw Garfield for their friends!
Question 2
Name a TV show (at any period in your life) that you watched that you were probably a little too old to watch. I heart the backyardigans… that’s probably odd for my age? I love ANTM. I used to love Laguna Beach… I’m over it
Question 3
What color is the dominant color of your wardrobe? I love pink… and green. I think that all shades of white probably dominate in color though. I love white and cream and ivory.
Question 4
Favorite donut? just glazed. and donut holes. yum!
Question 5
Wear painful shoes just because they are cute? sure! I love shoes.

Bonus Questions
Question 6
Is there anything that you believe you do not believe God about? Oh I hope not. How does the verse go… Lord, I believe but help me with my unbelief? I do believe, but it’s very hard to always believe what the word says and not what your eyes see. I do believe God’s word. All of it!
Question 7
In general, do you think it is ok to be frustrated with people? Is it okay? I think being frustrated with people is the same as not forgiving a person. It just causes you stress and pain. Frustration is so … well… frustrating! It’s so much easier to just exhale and smile. And let it go.

Have you seen the great stickman videos over at Kettering University’s website? This one is particularly cute, it deals with the choices a student has about what to do after graduating from high school. It show the options of becoming a parent, going into the military or going to college. It’s a light but funny little cartoon and really hits home as our Amanda is receiving buckets of college mailouts everyday! I think she is going to go to university to become an Occupational Therapist. That’s for now, I know plans and ideas change with young people and that is fine. I will be happy with whatever she chooses and know she will make the best choice!

Look at this video from youtube but created by the people over at Kettering University.

The US News and World Report ranked Kettering University as the #1 University in the nation for Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering in it’s annual “America’s Best Colleges Guide for 2008.” That’s quite an honor to be in the US News Best Colleges! If you are thinking about a degree in mechanical engineering, you should look at Kettering University. I recommend that you head over and look at all the fun videos they have!

I’m an ivory girl! I have bought different skin care systems from Arbonne to Mary Kay, I even bought one of those Neutrogena scrubbers recently. I always fall back to regular ivory or some liquid soap made by Johnson & Johnson that is nice. How serious are you about Skin care? I’m not as serious as I should be as a woman in her thirties.
