Somehow it is funny. I guess July is my hard month here in Arizona. I checked my archives and I shared last year in July my reading of Psalm 143 (sorry for the poor sound quality–I don’t have a good studio–hehe)…Psalm 143 is my favorite and I keep it close to my heart. I feel like David lately…my soul is parched. I guess it is the desert heat 😉 .
This being said, I will take a short break from blogging. I will be back on July 23rd refreshed and renewed (I hope). I plan on finishing the book I started a while ago. I am determined to catch up with a Bible study I started a while back…and hopefully can get some other reading in.
Oh, you are wondering about
No worries. My dear friend Laurel at Laurel Wreath has graciously agreed to cover the hosting this week for me. Isn’t she sweet? I will auto-post a reminder on Wednesday night.
One more thing. I will have a devotion tomorrow, Monday, July 16th over at
I hope to see you all back here on July 23rd and don’t forget about me 😛 .
Be blessed this your week and as always…
I am sad to think of your being gone even for a little while, but I know you are doing a good thing. I’ll be praying for you and thinking of you. I’m sure you will have wonderful things to share when you return. How could we possibly forget about you. We love you Iris!!
Hope you have a refreshing time, and we’ll look forward to seeing you soon!
have a good break you deserve it
May God bless you abundantly
It must be terribly HOT there. I live in the north so we only get about 3 weeks of unbearable heat. The rest is smooth sailing…well minus the 0 degrees it get in Jan. I am glad my mood is not determined by the weather. I would be up down and all about. wink…wink. Have a wonderful weekend and stay COOOOOOOOOl.
I don’t like to think of not being able to “read-see” you…boohoo….:(
But I totally understand. Be blessed…may the Lord really bless your time with HIM!
Breaks are good, Iris. It’s amazing how one week away refreshes you. So enjoy it.
And between you and Laurel Wreath and all these wonderful things you two are doing with Photoshop, I’m saving my allowance – I’ve GOT to get that program.
Iris, that has to be one of your better layouts, I love how you merged the paper and the picture to look as one. And the musical notes are awesome.
Have a restful week. Blessings.
Enjoy your break. Be blessed, and come back rested. 🙂
No one could ever forget you dear Iris, love you. Have a wonderful rest.
Iris,
May you come out of this short break…refreshed….stepping out of the parched desert and into His springs of living waters!!!!!

Iris,
Girl I understand you. I lived in Las Vegas for 23 years. The heat is brutal and can drain you emotionally as well as physically.
Lord, I ask for a spring of refreshment for my sweet sister, Iris. Fill her up. Give her peace. Intercede in her workplace. Make her days there easier and bearable. Fill her with the love each of us, her readers, feel for her. Renew her spirit. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
Have a wonderful break Iris. May you be refreshed by our Prince of Peace. May He bring you rest and renewal during your time away. Blessings to you my friend.
Hope you’re rejuvenated spiritually and physically as you enjoy your break.
God bless
Missing you already but praying for a restful break. You deserve it–you do too much!
I am sending your book tomorrow!
Much love~
Hope to see you back soon, feeling all nice and refreshed!! I will keep you in my prayers.
Enjoy your break. I hope you find yourself refreshed.
