chocolates on my pillow

One of the special aspects of our vacation to Disneyland was staying at the resort. It extended the magical atmosphere outside of the parks, down downtown Disney, and on into our hotel.

The hotel was beautiful and a short walk (through downtown Disney) to both parks, which made it very convenient. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to meet your every need. Our room was comfortable and had so many cute little touches that made it exclusively Disney. Every night our bed was turned down with Disney character chocolates sprinkled about. As evident in their parks, Disney goes above and beyond in everything they do, which makes for a very happy and satisfied customer.

If you're going to take a vacation to this special place, I highly recommend that you stay in the Disney resort.

"But the LORD said to Samuel, 'Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.'"
1 Samuel 16:7 NIV

back to reality

I feel I just need to state for the record that our vacation in southern California was wonderful. I'd write about my favorite parts, but it was all great. Plus, I know it gets a little tedious reading about other people's vacations - so, I'll spare you the details. I'll probably post a few pictures tomorrow and call it good. You're welcome =)

I'm now trying to get back into the swing of reality.

"My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires."
James 1:19-20 NIV

november 1.... through 30

Call me crazy, but I've decided to once again join many other bloggers in posting every day in the month of November. I joined NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) last year and was successful in posting each and every day for that month. I also met a few new friends and have a couple of regular readers through the NaBloPoMo site.

Last year, I not only posted regular posts during the month, but gave myself the goal of sharing each day something I felt was a blessing in my life. This year I wanted to do something similar. After thinking through some ideas, I've decided to share, each day, my favorite Bible verse(s).

I'll start with my favorite verse...

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him
and He will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV

I memorized this verse as a young adult and have kept it tucked away in my heart ever since. There have been so many times that I have called on these words to get me through a situation. It's not always easy for me to put my total trust in God and far too easy to follow my own reasoning. But God knows what is best for me and wants to lead me down paths that will benefit and bless me. He wants the same for you.
