Cassie's Nimble Nuggets

              Hello fellow Turkey goers!  My house currently smells of Pumpkin Pie and Nic and I have spent the evening baking pies.  I already see news feeds all atweet with #grateful #TurkeyDay and "What do we talk about with our families for Thanksgiving?  We have a generation of greed and envy that twenty four seven bombards us with messages of "you need" or "you want"  and then one day a year we are supposed to be able to put a thought behind the words "Thanksgiving." It really hit me on Monday as I picked up my child from school, like I do everyday.  My youngest child was in the back seat asking me if we could go to the Thanksgiving Feast at her school.  Well I worked a twelve hour shift that night and her dad had a long day at work so the answer was "No, I am sorry but No."  She does struggle with FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) as does every six year old.  But her response really threw me for a loop.  "D...

So I cannot speak to my friends plight but she definately speaks into my thoughts. I don't know if you are ever like this too but seriously I do just wanna see the ugly moments people have...

So I had a week vacation last week, my husband and I after the last several months of grueling schedules decided to take a respite from the world and reconnect.  We planned a very relaxing trip to go to Kentucky, then North Carolina to a family cabin.  We went to Kentucky to visit the Ark Museum, which is a replicated full size Ark, like “ Noah and the Ark.”  We were in awe and wonder of the sheer size of the replica and it solidified what God was already placing in my heart this week.  So dear lovely ones, I pray over this blog and ask God what to give to you, and this week he brought to my attention the mediocre moments of life.   Like an adventurer who wants to have great stories of excitement it is hard when you feel like what you are doing is miniscule, mediocre, and ordinary.   So here are some things I want you to take back from Noah.   Noah walked with God. The bible says in Genesis 6 that Noah was a righteous man and God's fav...
