hulloooo there...

Remember me?

I'm Michelle.

(You know, that gal who writes this blog.)

Hee hee, saying "hulloo" always makes me think of Winnie the Pooh ^-^, but I digress.

So, I've been doing well.

The Lord is good.

So good.

So faithful.

My life has been quite filled with good things.

Blessed.

That's what I am.

I kept meaning to get back on board with this blogging business.

Time just kept slipping away bit by bit.

Before I knew it months had passed.

It's a bit like jumping into a swinging jump rope.

Well, I mean, it's not like I'd get smacked in the face with a rope or anything, but still.

I think you catch my drift. ;)

Lately, I've been Instagramming a lot.

I'm kind of into making Bible verse or godly quote pictures such as the ones above.

And this...

Oh, and just to thoroughly confuse y'all my name on there is now miss_strawberry_shortgirl.

It's completely random.

Don't ask me why.

I just thought it would be fun to have a...well...fun name...just for fun. ;P

My mind can be so like a butterfly flitting from one pretty thing to the next.

I am trying to discipline this mind of mine more.

Dwelling on lovely things is good, indeed it's scriptural.

But I can't just stop there.

I'm trying to delve deeper.

To know.

To know Him.

More & more everyday.

The depths.

The riches.

Unfathomable.

But I'll do my best as far as He enables me.

No more scratch & sniff Christianity for this girl.

Nope.

He paid far too great a price to make me His.

Also, just lately I've been crocheting like a fiend.

(If fiends actually do crochet. Don't quote me on that...I'm not 100% sure.)

Having been an avid knitter for so many years I was skeptical as to whether crocheting was even a necessary skill for me to acquire. After all, just about anything crochet could do knit could do better, or so I thought.

I can see now why people are so in love with the craft.

It does work up so fast.

And ya just can't beat a classic granny square for that old fashioned kitschy charm.

I've heard people say crochet is easier than knitting, but that I don't see.

I think they're both easy once you get the hang of it.

There are definite pluses to both.

Oh, and I've just been spending as much time as is humanly possible with my babies & my sisters.

These truly are the good old days.

I know I will miss these days terribly when they're passed & gone.

So for now I cherish every moment that will soon be a memory.

I stare at their little faces to try to memorize them.

I always give them a sniff & a squeeze so I can always remember their smell & squishiness.

For it won't be long before they're all grown & patting me on the head.

As I said before...

blessed.

I'm blessed beyond measure.

Well, sorry about the barrage of pictures.

All of them shamelessly stolen from my Instagram feed.

Thank you for all the kind words from those of you wondering just where I'd got to.

Here I am though.

I hope to stay.

By His grace.

For His glory.

Much Love,

Miss Michelle
