a bit of heaven on earth.

you know.... it's nice to have a reminder now and then that the tough times we go through are short in the end and oh so worth going through.

i get a glimpse of what heaven will be like every so often. it can be the most subtle thing that triggers it to. just a glance from my loving husband, the thought of my boys all grown up around me, leading their own lives...... having their own families.

well, this last weekend we went to bryce canyon with friends and family. when i looked around the different sites, i just marveled at the beauty. this was another testimony to me that i have a loving father in heaven. i wondered while looking at the awesome beauty of our earth, how one could ever contest the exsistance of an all powerful, loving god. just doesn't quite click for me. it was incredible. and being there with my loved ones was another little glimpse of what heaven will be like. just incredible.

this is but a small moment in time. if endured well...... , well...... we will be awesomely blessed.

nerves.....

tonight i was able to sing at "all that jazz". it's a great little venue and there are some awesome jazz musicians. debra bonner being one of them. i have been joining debra bonner in a voice class she holds on friday nights. she asked me if i would sing a song at her jazz night and i agreed. there is one thing about me, well there are many things about me, but there is this about me..... i have terrible stage fright. there you have it. so the more that i get out there and sing and get in front of people, the less the stage fright will bother me, right? i really felt like my heart would jump out of my chest. i had to remind myself to breath. i kept yawning. is that strange or what. but i went through with it. i knew that i needed to. i need to get better at doing this. i love to sing and i want to share my talent with others. (well part of me does and the other part of me wants to crawl under a rock and never show my face again.) i am so strange. so i am going with the part of me who wants to share and develop my talents. well.... it was fun and i think i did an o.k. job. i enjoyed myself and didn't faint. yay me. not fainting is a good step. well i have never really fainted, but you know what i mean. thanks for listening to me ramble, i think i still have the nerves goin' crazy in me. i ramble when i am nervous. can you tell? :)
