Last week my younger son and I went on a school field trip to Jamestown and Williamsburg, Virginia. As we toured the tiny boat that the Jamestown settlers crossed the Atlantic in to set up new homes in a new unfamiliar land, the bravery of these men who sailed this boat could not be avoided….
How am I ever to get much work done around here when every time the computer opens on my lap I have to deal with this: Ain’t she cute? Her name is Mango if you are new around here. There is a reason she is staring at me so intently. Its because she just…
Oh my do I ever know what it is to sit and wait. We are at that place right now. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. In January God said to “Stand and watch what I will do.” Stand and watch. Believe. Keep believing. Trust and keep trusting. I know it’s all in HIS time. It’s so hard to not make my own way. But…I am not going to force God’s hand….
And Sharon…yuck to that drooly ball…double yuck. 
Blessings!
Diane- Thank you so much for the early morning laugh! The “yuck to that droolly ball” made me laugh right out loud! I had never thought of how that might be seen; but you are right it is kinda “double yuck”. 
Thanks for stopping over and sharing your thoughts here. 
Standing in the third row, the house lights down and dark while the front of the stage was brightly lit. A sign in my hands for all to see, stepping forward I held up my sign and people stood up in the audience, silently showing solidarity. Flipping the sign over to tell of His wondrous…
a beautiful post from a beautiful woman and kindred spirit. So happy to hike with you
Thanks! Glad to have you hiking along!
I second that! Loved the list, love the writer more!
I’m a sucker for vistas and that one valley with mists {or is it fogs}, took my breath away. I stopped over from Em’s place at Imperfect Prose.
I am thankful that I get to see it quite often around where I live. Thanks for stopping by!
I love the fresh new feeling Spring brings with it. I have a lot in mind for this space in the coming months. I intend to redesign and reorganize. There was a time when I posted several times a week. What is different and what has hindered me from doing that? A lot. Mostly life…
So exciting to see HTH in my inbox! Even more excited to see what’s coming up next! Blessings!

Thank you for sharing. You are right, these men were brave and it is so rare today. To think that they were so young and many of today’s young people, people from my generation (sadly), are too caught up in money and fame to even know how to be brave. How wonderful to take your son to these places that he might also learn about brave men!
Thank you for sharing your hike!
Have a beautiful, blessed day!

Thank you so much Jenna! I appreciate you stopping by and leaving your thoughts here.
Love how you pulled in so much history with your post…and your poetic writing style is so free and easy. And your last line gave me the chills! Thanks for stopping by my blog to read my first “Five Minute Friday” post. I’m hooked!
Warmly,

What a true reflection of the bravery of those who came to start a new land – for us! I wish more appreciated the values our country was founded on. Thank you for sharing this journey. It is so cool you are in an area where you can see the places of our history, someday I hope to show my kids the places where our history started. (visiting from FMF)
Luaren, Thanks for visiting! Glad you enjoyed FMF!
April, It is sad that so many who live on the east coast never visit these places of history. I know people who live 20 minutes from downtown DC and have never gone to see the Capitol or the White House or the many museums on the mall. Though I may not have enjoyed it as a kid, my mom dragged us EVERYWHERE, now I look back and am glad she did.
