   Hello !  I'm Vickie.  I'm from Idaho, (Ada county area), its my great pleasure to have found this forum.  What I've read so far feels like home.

I may jump in on some things, and others its likely i'll chew the cud a bit.

I would have posted my 'where from info' and my quote on the 'where are you from thread'...but couldn't access it.  :mblush:

ps...how do i add a photo or avatar?

Hello Vicky,

I am proceeding "backward" in my replies to you, wrote the first one about Jude...then another, and now here I am finding you have introduced yourself.  It is 3 am where I am
I got up as usually clicked on here, and walla......I have met a sister!!!! I connected with
you instantly!  What a wonder our God is!  What identifying marks are left behind where
GOD has been, is, and shall forever be! 

Welcome to this board. I don't even have time to read it all. Don't even try!   I skip around, but I always
find what God has for "me" .......isn't that something?

Hi, Vickie!  :dsunny:

I'm originally from the Seattle Washington area. 
Which is why I am so partial to this little sunny guy!

WOW
:girlheart:

what a  warm welcome !!!

thank you all. getting to know you all and your love for God is going to be a real blessing in my life. 

hey sarah, i am down in ada county to attend BSU for as long as Father wills it, but i own land in Mullan!  I lived there for 13 years and hope to return to it if God wills.  We shall see what happens. 

i must say, SeekerSA, that i've been a 'happycamper' for nearly my entire life...LOL...and find those willing to live in tents to be fine company and without pretense.  Down home fer sure. 

hopeful, i was so pleased to live in Bremerton at one time in my life, and of course travel the ferry to Seattle on occassion.  No doubt you love the sun ...hehehe. 

rose, thank you and i look forward to getting to know you.

redlettervoice, looks like rejoicing will a time we share.  past...present..and future  :happygrin:

God is so much more than good.

yes it is, hopeful!

its from a pastel drawing i did years ago.  
it symbolises many things to many people, but to me it represents the love between God and human.  
The Groom and Bride.

Some see man and woman.
Some see fire and water.
some see the sun and earth.

i drew this at the winter solstice.  the time of year when the sun begins to grow in strength in our seasonal calendar.  the day before is the darkest day of our calendar year.  i was living on the mountain and just dog gone tired of the long nights and was so happy that the daylight would increase, that this image came out of me.

Hi Vickie,

Sorry to be so late with the Howdy. I am next door in Washington, but on the West Coast.

Welcome.

[hopeful]

Whew!  Thanks for answering, Vickie.  I was afraid you were going to say that I would have to come up with my own interpretation and I'm just not very good at that!   :Sparkletooth:

Well, you certainly are an excellent artist.  I think it's so fascinating the way God moves through each one of us in His creative ways!

:HeartThrob:

Righteousness and Truth have met; the SON has kissed the EARTH!

Therefore, I hope.................
