O- Hi- O!

OHIO!!

Aww so here are a few pictures of this evening - the sky was sooooooo amazing out it was like cotton gandy with a golden glaze- we were trying so hard to get the fire in the sky in our pictures- but by the time you get one blonde- a chinese... and another jap- now that we are international- at stoney ridge- james ANd Sonomi- - ( sorry sonomi... lol ) we missed the prime time to snap the pic! Thats ok tho...

So this is Sonomi.

She is the one special part about my day that makes me laugh really hard.

She has such a great sense of humor.
Ya such a light free spirited heart once you get to know her and understand that
english is her second language- once ya break the ice with sonomi- she really is a wild kitten.
purr )

aww Her laugh makes me laugh.
We have way too much fun sometimes - moving shit around.
"quality control" checks on the wine.. you know- ensuring the tasting notes are up to par for the cheese.... uh i say no more.... sonomi has taught me much!
infact i think i always end up laughing harder when i am on the way home and reflect on some of the comedy that goes on at this Stoney ridge estate winery. " niagaras garden winery"
Excuse my language - but lots of shit storms- ( but with out the storms we would not come out washed after rght? :))

The most beautiful thing about Sonomi - is that her name actually means "BEautiful Garden" in Japanese! which explaines why everyday the first thing she does is go out the garden and replace every single flower vase with fresh roses- she even brings her own gloves to get good grip right into the roses!!! and has explained a few of the cutest flowers to me-- we have roses.. that are called "iceberg" roses- they look like bunches of lettuce!!



I know i always think of sonoma country also- like hot and sunny cali! when i think like sonoma means --- "valley of the moon" also- she is that garden in the valley of the moons magestic fair still beauty on glow.

Clearly is Japaneses- and she teaches Japanese at Brock university She has also given me some great lessons too. But i need her here to remember again.... uh how do i say it again

Anyways ya sonomi rules. I love her to death.
My territory now is corporate christmas so i have been kicked up to the upstairs office making love on the phones tangling up myself in the cords locking myself in the presidents office and secretly eating cheese... shhhh ....:).....and the best part is just running down the stairs to make sure she is still smiling about something stupid and silly :) becuase we all know you cant take life too too seriously- the best is yet to come!!!

She is such a hard worker and i know that God has a big blessing for her humble humble hard working heart. And i just pray that he would open up that door for her exactly where she needs it most because she is a real porcelin doll with a sweet heart of flesh in that vessel she stands in! god says--

"The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm,
"I will NEVER again give your grain as food for your enemies;

Nor will foreigners drink The NEW Wine for which you have labored."
But those who garner it will eat it and praise the LORD!

And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary....." isaiah 62 8-9

"I say that there is still much time for NEW WINE IN O9!!"

its a divine time.... prime time... reveal the new wine time...

amen!





Sonomi has great style too!!!



She may be half my size but she is twice as fast!!!





si-an-ara!

:)



Just another word- i wrote before all of these pictures--- its pretty comfy too! )


Lord GOD says,
"I will forgive them for leaving me
and will love them freely,
because I am not angry with them anymore.


I will be like the dew to Israel,
and they will blossom like a lily.
Like the cedar trees in Lebanon,
their roots will be firm.
They will be like spreading branches,
like the beautiful olive trees
and the sweet-smelling cedars in Lebanon.
The people of Israel will again live under my protection.
They will grow like the grain,
they will bloom like a vine,
and they will be as FAMous as the Wine of Lebanon.
Israel, have NOTHING to do with idols.
I, the Lord, am the one who answers your prayers and watches over you.
I am like a green pine tree;
your blessings come from me."

A wise person will know these things,
and an understanding person will take them to heart.
The Lord's ways are right.
Good people live by following them,
but those who turn against God die because of them. hosea 14 : 4-9


ok--

I love this verse its really been speaking to me about how gods love for us is so Free-
no matter what!!!
NO Matter what we have been thru- who we are- who we think we are- or even run from him and to another...- seeking what we know only he can provide it the way we need it - he has such compassion on his chosen ones. Such a wonderful chapter to be at the end of such a book.

I had never expected from such a prickly shrub to gather so fair a flower, so sweet a fruit;
but so it is: where sin abounded, grace doth much more abound.

No chapter in the Bible can be more rich in mercy than this last of Hosea 14 it makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside- becuase i know where god has saved me from- and he continues to!!!

Where we looked for the blackness of darkness, behold-- woooah wooah-- a noontide of light!”

Its like God is too great a physician to allow any patient to leave His office without being healed- and its SO TRUE!!!

when we go to him- he restores to us what we tried to find elsewhere- just as this i going to break it down---

Growth is restored (WE shall grow)

· Beauty is restored (we shall grow like the lily)

· Strength is restored (lengthen our roots like Lebanon)

· Value is restored (our beauty shall be like an olive tree)

· Delight is restored (our fragrance like Lebanon)

· Abundance is restored (revived like grain . . . grow like the vine . . . scent and OUR FAME shall be like the WINE of Lebanon)



OUR branches will spread: When God restores Israel, we will be a blessing to others, not blessed only unto himself.




Total dependence on the grace of God...

Gos nature to love love love love them freely


free love free love free love :) uh......
