Pure bliss for a 1 year old!

My little girl has developed a love for sitting on absolutely everything.  I got her a chair and she was so excited.  She carried it all over the house. ; )

Affliction

I absolutely LOVE Christian speaker, author, and minister Beth Moore.  She has such a real world and common sense way of looking at things.  Every time I read one of her books or listen to her minister I always come out having a deeper knowledge of a biblical truth.  I love to watch her every Wednesday on Life Today.  The last several weeks she has been talking about affliction.  I never really thought about what affliction actually is and how so many things afflict us in our lives.  My husband and I have had a lot of new opportunities in our lives lately and are both sensing that there is more to come.  In the midst of all of that there are always brick walls that rise up along the way.  Beth's teachings over the last several weeks have really made me think about the spiritual side of everything that happens in our lives.  I hope this video inspires you the way it does me...check it out!

An Introduction

Welcome to my blog!!!!  I wanted to start my first post by giving a little background about myself.  My name is Becki and I live in the western Texas Panhandle, along with my husband Kurt and 1 year old daughter MacKenzi Kay.  Both my husband and I grew up in eastern Colorado but ended up moving to Texas due to a combination of a majority of his family living nearby, as well as a great job opportunity for me as a grain buyer for Cargill.  Since moving down to Texas in the summer of 2006, we have developed a real love for the Texas Panhandle, as well as the rest of the state.  Although I am no longer working the job that brought me down here, we have stayed in the area.  Now I am working as an 8th Grade Math teacher at a local Junior High.  Although it is by far the hardest job I have ever had in my life, it is also one of the most rewarding.   Through this blog I hope to achieve many things.  I plan to share recipes, teaching ideas, great bible verses, books, my Camo Cross jewelry, and any other things that are going on in my life.  I hope you will enjoy being a part of my blog!!!
