Some people see God in other people. Some people see God in situations or circumstances. Some people see God in nature. I am one of those that see Him in nature. How can something so beautiful not be created by someone so loving? It amazes me the beauty in nature I see all around me; and how God loves me so much to give me all of it to enjoy while I'm living on this earth. It's just too wonderful not to enjoy it! And you know, I love that God reveals himself to me in nature. Since I'm surrounded by it all the time I constantly feel surrounded by God and that's a real blessing.
How do you see God? Do you see Him in other people? Do you see Him in your everyday tasks? Do you see Him in nature like me? What are some other ways people see God?
This past weekend my church held a Women's Mini Retreat. It was on Saturday from 9-4 and it was a delightful day. We heard some great talks about spiritual spring cleaning and I enjoyed the fellowship and discussions with the ladies. Throughout the day we had a bit of free time and so after lunch I walked down to the pier (the retreat was held at a retreat center right on the water!!) and it was a BEAUTIFUL day. We had some pretty intense storms come through on Friday, so Saturday was very refreshing and lovely. I didn't have my big girl camera but I did have my iPhone so I snapped quite a lot of pictures and wanted to share a couple with you today.
I hope you had a delightful weekend! I hope you got to do things you love and spent it with people you love! Besides the Mini Retreat we spent Saturday evening at my sister and brother-in-law's apartment eating homemade pizza and watching a movie. We watched This Means War and it was quite funny! Then Sunday we had church and we spent the afternoon/evening with Collin's parents celebrating his mom's birthday! It was a delightful evening with them!
Hi friends! So I thought I would explain to you all where my blog got its name from! Mainly because there's some news behind it! =D Back in 2010 when I was thinking of starting a blog Collin and I were talking about starting a podcast together. I was kind of wanting my new blog to be an extension of the podcast but not completely the same. Just like some extra content and what not. So, beacause of that I wanted the names to coordinate. The podcast name is This, That and the Other Day and that was just too long to make a web address and Collin didn't want my actual blog name to be the exact same. Thus I shortened the blog name to This and That and the web address to theotherdayandthat.blogspot.com (so many of my other options were taken!).
Anyway, the news! We never actually began podcasting in 2010 when we said we would. Things kept coming up, we didn't have enough money for the hosting site, etc., so it just never happened. Well, we recorded an episode on Wednesday (finally!) and posted it yesterday! I won't be on every episode like we originally thought, but I will most likely be a regular guest! The podcast will basically be a show about life, funny stories, movies, tv, etc. A type of variety show if you will. And Collin (and I) would love user submitted content and feedback too!
If you'd like to subscribe to the feed for the podcast you can do so here and if you'd like to visit the podcast's website you can do so here. I'd love it if you'd have a listen and tell me what you think! It was so fun to record. It's a short episode since it's a pilot and we were basically just introducing the show but yeah! I've embedded it below also for you to check out. I hope you all enjoy!
My sweet little kitty thoroughly enjoys being on our bed. When we lived with Collin's parents we kept the bedroom door closed so that the other animals wouldn't get in there and make a mess (one didn't use the litter box for his number 2 business and I didn't want any of that in my bedroom). It always made Stank sad because he wanted to be with us, so now he is taking full advantage of having an open door to the bedroom. The only problem, we have to vacuum the foot of the bed all the time because he leaves behind lots of hair!
