The blues

Happy Monday! Well I had a really good weekend! Addy got a second medal for her participation in gymnastics. My girls and their families came over Saturday and it was my 6th anniversary on Sunday.

Sunday was actually not that great. I woke up feeling really good and knew it would be the best day to get some good planting done. Well apparently that wasn't going to happen for me. At about 1:00 in the afternoon my tummy felt gross. I got up to go to the bathroom and Caution-TMI-I threw up for a good bit. Yuck! so I laid around and caught a fever and felt like poo. 

On a happy note I do feel better today! yippee!! It's kind of rainy, nasty here today so that is not very exciting. 

I will tell you what I have been thinking about. My big 30th birthday. Any one who knows me, knows birthdays are a big deal to me. Well I have a good 3 months until my birthday, but I got to thinking today. Not only am I excited for this big milestone, but I am excited for my future :) 

I know that was random, but that is what I have been thinking about today :) I'm excited to grow in the Lord and start this exciting life! 

And Addy saw another large tractor this morning and said Mama look a tractor, You want that one? hehe so cute :) She is excited too :)

Let's see. If y'all would just pray for my current work situation. I'm not going to elaborate a lot, but I am here for now and I want it to go smoothly. There are some things going on that I may or may not have to figure out the solution to. But prayers are greatly appreciated!!!  

2 Corinthians 5:7

We live by faith, not by sight.

What can I do

Happy Wonderful Friday! I had a great day yesterday. I was praying Wednesday night over a situation at Los Links and God totally took control and handled that situation. Awesome! That makes for a great day always! Then on the way home I was behind a tractor. I did not care that i was going 10 mph. I was excited. It was like I was able to slow down and look around. It was nice. Addy was excited because we saw the one in front and then another in the field. She said mama you want one like that. HAHA It was sweet, but very true :)

Hope you can see the tractor in front of the truck

It is nice to slow down. Then we(Chris) made rows in a part of the garden and WE GOT OUT ONIONS IN! Haha! So excited to know that one item is planted. 

The first row to the left is onions! yippee and this is not the entire garden but only a corner area. 

This morning was ... not so good. Addy had a melt down over some band aids.. It's true. So please pray for us while we continue to try to discipline her correctly. 

The day has gotten better. I did not want that incident to damper this beautiful day God has given me.

That is so true! I forgot I had that until a few minutes ago. So that is perfect!

I also receive the Joel & Victoria O'steen daily devotionals each morning. Today was very good. This is a little bit of what was said

"Always remember, you have been made in the image of Almighty God. God did not make any mistakes. You are the perfect size. You have the right personality, the right gifts, the right looks, the right skin color. You are not an accident. God designed you precisely for the race that is laid out for you. You are fully equipped for this life, and His mercy is greater than any mistake you could make. Embrace the truth and the victory He has in store for your future!"

(you can got to their website HERE  to sign up)

I thought those were really good words. What is neat to me about that is I have had this taped to my desk for a while now. 

I stop a lot and repeat those words :)

Ok so I am totally in love with this song. I encourage you to listen to is. Not just listen to it, but jam out like I have been doing  for the greater part of the morning. It is Tim Timmons-Starts with me

It just does something for me! It is truth! Remember it's not just a song. When you sing a long and speak those words... THAT IS POWER! just saying :) 

My mom just shared with me some notes she took from a women's meeting the other night.She said the entire message she was thinking about me. It is good stuff so why not share!! ;)

God's plan for you life is about the Journey, not just about the destination(so true, but never thought like that)

Surrender and give God control 

Philippians 1:6

⁶ And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 19:11

¹¹ Good sense makes one slow to anger,
    and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

2 Corinthians 5:7

⁷ For we walk by faith, not by sight. 

Walk in the small things everyday. Be open to what God may be doing. Be faithful and diligent where you are while God is preparing you for what is next.(That is definitely me. I struggle with that.but i shouldn't I just need to trust and rest in God. He's got this)

Philippians 3:12-14

¹² Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. ¹³ Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, ¹⁴ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

To prepare for tomorrow, obey today.(I hear you God!)

Trust God's plan and stay open to His plan.

Proverbs 3:5-6

⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.

Philippians 4:6-7

New International Version (NIV)

⁶ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Ok I hope I haven't confused anyone with how I just did that! My words are the ones in parenthesis. Any who I thought that was really encouraging so everyone should read :) 

ps still jamming out as I write :)

I hope everyone has a great weekend! My bestie and her fam  are coming and it is my 6 yr anniversary and we will be surrounded with great friends. God is good AMAZING folks!!!

This is not my life....

Happy Wednesday! It feels good to be back. I think I have spent too many hours listening to lies over the past week and I am done with that. I want to declare this current situation will not be my life and Kelly(sista) gave me some encouraging words yesterday that I would like to share. Let me rephrase.. Kelly wrote down words she was told to give me by God. No hocus pocus here folks. This is what truth is!

Get ready for an exciting life

You've been given a gift that only you can open

I'm always willing to talk to  you

Never underestimate your own abilities. I've given you everything you have-can you trust Me?

Never have I ever stopped loving you.

Never underestimate Me

You give & you give & finally it will be given back to you.

Ok, that might not make any sense to any of you, but those words are dead on to what I was feeling. How are these so spot on.. Well God does know me.. Hello. He knows exactly the struggles and the lies that I was dealing with. And those words are so personal and encouraging to me. Again, He knows sometimes it takes an extra nudge for things to click :) But He loves me any way. That's the amazing thing!

Ok well I do want to share something that happened on Sunday. Addy was writing some words and had asked Chris what one of the words were. He said oh that says farmer and she said what's that? He responded with that is what me and mama are going to be. I about hit the floor. I don't think it registered to him what he had said, but little did he know how powerful those words were! I mean I had been struggling all weekend about his faith. I know I shouldn't have been, but I got caught up in lies and it was easy to see he would never be on the same page. Well God proved me wrong! Just saying. :) I do like when that happens and it was encouraging because, well it was weighing on me so heavy. 

I have to tell something that happened earlier. I was listening to a song on k-love that I really like and I was like wow this song is really good. (yes I talk to myself a lot haha) but then i pulled out a sticky note pad and at the top I had written the name of the song down like who knows how long ago. Ahhhh it was weird but a very good weird haha!

So here it is. I think I might have posted it before, but I couldn't find where. for King and Country-busted heart

Psalm 73:23-24

New International Version (NIV)

²³ Yet I am always with you;
    you hold me by my right hand.
²⁴ You guide me with your counsel,
    and afterward you will take me into glory

I just wanted to add those 2 verses in there :)

Anywho, we didn't do much to celebrate our anniversary over the weekend, but we ended up grilling out and relaxing together and that is all I wanted. 

So today is much better and I declare it will continue to get better! I want to start my exciting life that God has planned for us!! :) 

Side note- Addy cut her toe on a lawnmower blade last night. She is doing really good! Thank yo ufor all the prayers!!

Lead Me

It's Thursday! Woop Woop!! My yesterday afternoon just felt stressful I think I was just giving in to bad gunk. I felt better last night and Chris and I were looking at old trucks. We both really love them and would love to have one. Here is a fave

.

I just love this, too bad it sold already . Must not have been the one :)

OOoooh I almost forgot. Y'all I love a good free sample. I love getting things in the mail. haha, it's true. Look what I got the other day! yippeee! 

I was so excited to get a free tshirt! I'll sport it haha!

Speaking of Valspar I am about to go get the paint for the bathroom redo at work. Can't wait to see what it looks like when we complete it! It will be like a V.I.P bathroom at Los Links!

So I have been praying for my hubs. (Let's all pray he skips today's blog haha) Nothing is wrong and He is such a great person and husband and father. I have just been praying that God show him what we are supposed to do in all of this and that it will make sense to him. I am only making that public knowledge because I love extra prayers for us :)

Of course everything brings me to a song, but I love this 

Lead me by Sanctus real 

I just really like that song and think of my family when I hear it, so just pray when you think of me :)

I'd appreciate that more than you know! 

I tell you, I have been dealing with some crazies today at work. Not your typical stuff either, but I have been doing very good today with not getting angry or taking it all personal. Yay God!! because that is definitely something I struggle with daily! It has been more amusing because of how it was all thrown at us like all at once today. Normally I would so get frazzled, but I have a great team here and we know God is in control and He will take care of us. That just really put me at ease as I wrote that. Yay! Thank the Lord!!

Again I am just drawn back to my fave verse. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phillipians 4:13

So true !! :) 

On another note I am just really excited to be able to spend time with my hubs this weekend!! and then my bestie next weekend!! Yahoo!!

I hope everyone has a great day!!

Too much

Well it is finally Wednesday! That means it's Duck Dynasty night around our house haha!
So today was Wacky Wednesday at Addy's school. She wanted me to roll her hair last night and I put her in a tutu I had made and sent her off to school. She looked so cute.

So onto a different subject. Have you seen this amazing new mower/atv type thing at Lowe's?? It is called the raven. I have provided picture proof of the awesomeness hehe. Well I will be praying to have this come to my house for sure haha! I think it is the most awesome thing.

That mower deck detached very easily. I watched the video haha! Ps if you sit in one you will want one! 

OK so I am really having to push this entry. It is taking everything I have. I ate mexican food earlier and I feel like, well not so good. YUCK, I knew I felt I shouldn't have eaten it. 

This song is playing as i write and it feels I just needed to hear it.

Broken Heart- for King & Country 

The lyrics are below the video and it just feels right today. Sometimes I feel like this(today) and I love this song.. I love how the right song always just comes on at the right moment. Thank you God.!!

Ok so another song moment. It's so much more than just a song moment I hope y'all realize that. I feel sick right now, like gross nauseous. I can't really concentrate and i am thinking a million different things. All I kept hearing is cry out for Jesus, over and over because well those are the words :) (Third Day- cry out for Jesus)

God really is amazing. Jessica sent me a message today by Joel Osteen it says- "Quit being worried, stresses out, wondering if it will happen. God has you in the palm of His hand. Declare peace in your life."

Well that is right on and I was thinking wow that is really encouraging for her to hear. Well duh.. It is really encouraging for me too. I told you sometimes it takes me a few for things to click! haha! 

That's ok He is just waiting on me. He is waiting on Chris and I to be ready. We are working on it, He knows our hearts and He is working on us. 

I will not be discouraged :)

Ahead of the curve

Well for a second I thought it was Wednesday, but Happy Tuesday haha! We had a good night last night, nothing too exciting. Although, Addy has told us she has a boyfriend. We do not approve of this haha! But with her poppa's help she wrote this up on her verse folder for school. Please read the verse also.. haha!

Half of my garden is under water so I will need to remedy this  :) No worries it will get done :) I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.. :)

So on to work.. I was told to redo the outside bathroom. It is what it is folks, but we have to stay ahead of the curve-yes that was mentioned. So I have been pinteresting and looking at paint all today. So turns out what I really thought would be annoying, has turned into a fun project. :) Here is kind of what I'm shooting for...

I have picked the exact sink and mirror. Going to Lowe's in a bit to determine the paint. Should be this color or something very similar. :)

So on a separate note. Laughter really is the est medicine and it has been fun to really laugh at things going on then to get stressed out by them. :) I just really don't want to be stressed out by things I cannot control especially at work. I can't help whats is going on half the time, so no need to let it get to me or let the people get to me :) So I am definitely trying!

So I believe me and the hubs are celebrating our Anniversary this Saturday. Six years :) So that is fun :) Looking forward to that. 

I got to hear this song today a couple of times already. Here it is. Matt Maher-Lord, I need you. 

It's just really good and I love to sing it out loud especially in the car hehe :) but this video has the words too. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! 

Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him, to enable them to fulfill the purpose for which they are called.

Every Good Thing

Happy Monday! I have missed writing these updates on the weekends. I might have to start :) But any who it is catch up time! Lets see... Friday was not a bad day, but it was an exhausting day. We weren't really busy at work, but I just felt exhausted in general. It kind of blew, just because I wanted to feel better and didn't know how to get there. I finally felt better after hearing what happened to my sis at her work. She really had a God experience with a patient. She was able to speak to someone who was really struggling with personal issues that Misty could really relate to and struggles that she had been through and she was able to share what God has done for her and I really think this was AMAZING. I was so encouraged by this, God is so personal and really into the details! I just felt so much better after hearing this. I guess I needed to be renewed too! When you are able to share details of what you have gone through and then how God was with you it really is encouraging and you realize even more how God is always with you and turns your tests in to your testimony where you can help others. Really awesome!

Then on to Saturday.. We went to the grand opening of Nashville Tractor. I was in kind of a mood. I am not sure why, but I was not really feeling like being there. I did push through it and had a good time. We did find a tractor we could actually buy(I'll post the pic later of course), but I just felt we are not supposed to put limits on this and I felt very strongly on that. I told Chris we were being too realistic. We were looking at what we could see that we could do and I thought that We should be paying about this and not trying to figure it out. I am not in denial folks and I know how much things cost, but I also know we serve a big God and I don't want to do anything before clearing it with Him first. I want to pray about this tractor because I have a feeling we aren't supposed to have the bottom or the line tractor.. Just sayin!

Addy also fell in love with a little pig they were selling. Of course we did not buy it, but it did make for a cute picture :) She liked the goats too!

We came home and Chris worked on the trim for the shed and I prepped the garden some more and got it fertilized and was planning on getting it planted on Sunday, but that didn't work out. On a positive note as soon as it dries out a bit, seeds will finally go into the ground haha. I was also a little glad it did rain because I could really tell I worked hard on Saturday, I was sore. Well a workout was definitely had haha! I did have to work thru the gnats, which I am convinced were sent from the Devil to stop me from getting all of my prep work done! Wow they were intense, but I did finish all the prepping for the garden :)

Sunday we were lazy... ooops!! We missed church, no excuses, just us to blame. We did get a lot of cleaning done and neglected laundry. YAY! So I was glad about that and then the monsoons hits. Wow at the rain. Plus side it is beautiful today! But before all the rain hit, Addy wanted to have a photo shoot so I will post pics of that. Highly entertaining because she came up with all the poses and it just really cracked me up!

She was doing her princess bow haha

Last night our tv kept going out, so I decided to start on a book I borrowed from my sis Kelly, Spiritual Wars. Wow this is a good book!! I plan on finishing it tonight! I kept taking pictures of the pages so I would remember certain things. I love when I come across things and it just feels like ahhh I was really supposed to see this again. It was Joshua 1:6-9

Joshua 1:6-9

New International Version (NIV)

⁶ Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.

⁷ “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. ⁸ Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. ⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go


I mean I don't know about anyone else, but I definitely needed to read this over and over. I need to be strong and courageous in many things, well in everything. It was really encouraging reading this again and it seemed to click this time. Especially verse 9. 

So Monday has been good. I feel extra encouraged and I want to have great days at work, even if I feel a tude coming along because I don't especially want to be here. I don't want those ugly thoughts to come over me. I want to  glorify the Lord and I want people to see a happy person not a moody lady who would rather not talk to anyone(hehe), but seriously. I want to shine!
 So this song is currently playing on K-Love and it just made me smile and so I will share! :)

Every good thing- The Afters 

I hope everyone has a great day! :)


Isaiah 40:31  but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Baby steps

Yay it's Friday! We had a really good night last night. We have internet! :)
We were outside for a bit and that was really nice too.

thought this was pretty

This just cracks me up haha

Addy loves the lawnmower! OHHH and we had brussel sprouts again and I have to say I do like them. 

So today has been good, although I was charged the reconnect fee for internet, I called and they are going to put it back in soon. So no worries :) I think I might just be tired, but Im not feeling to peppy. I cant figure out why, must pray away this tude! :) 

I am very much looking forward to the weekend. We are going to go to Nashville Tracor's grand opening(they are holding my new holland tractor hostage ) and entering to win some stuff, hey it's always worth a shot :) 

Then hopefully we will get our seeds in the ground! That would be most awesome! 

Psalms 118:24  This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

I think I needed to see that verse. It may be simple, but that's what I need to do today. Addy loves to sing that song too :) 

So i think I will rejoice and be glad in today... I mean it is Friday after all :) It is interesting to notice the daily struggles you face when you are on the right path! Tell those little uglies to leave and go back where they came from! God is on my side!

Psalms 28:7  The LORD is my strength and  my shield; in him my heart  trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults,  and with my  song I give thanks to him.

Happy Friday to all!!

All you need is Love Love Love

Happy Thursday!
So I was praying this morning to be full of love. Like to love the "unlovely", because I come in contact with a bunch of folks that i don't particularly care for. I don't want to have that attitude because what if I am shutting off someone that is supposed to help me but I passed judgement. You get where I am going with this.
So in my God's Calling for today this is what it said
       "Remember that my followers are to be a peculiar people, separated from among others. Different ways, a different standard of living different customs, actuated by different motives. Pray for Love.
Pray for My Spirit of Love to be showered on all you meet. Deal with yourself severely. Learn to love discipline. Never yield one point that you have already won. Discipline, discipline. Love it and rejoice-rejoice. Mountains can be removed by thought-by desire."

I mean you can take whatever you like from that, but that's what I needed to hear the pray for Love to be showered on all you meet. So God Calling is a good book to have regardless. :)

So i was having some not really doubts but I guess I was letting real life get to me. So yeah doubting.
I suppose I was trying to figure stuff out and after my huge miracle yesterday, I really don't know why I was. I do wonder why I try to take back things that I have given to the Lord.. why do we do these things. So I had to stop and give it back :) Ahhh all better :)


Jeremiah 29:11  For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

There that is :)

I still have to call back and get the internet restarted. I plan on doing that in a little bit and I know it will work out, but you ever feel tired or scared you might have a problem. DON'T LISTEN TO THAT! That is fear and God gave me a miracle and I just have to step up and take it. Do not let fear take what God has for you!

So look your fears in the face and say, “I will not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD himself is my strength and my defense…” (Isaiah 12:2). Oh, yes!

That makes me feel better. Sometimes I just like for God to hold my hand and bring me through things :) 

I will leave you with this song.. just because I like it. Isn't that a good enough reason :) HERE it is 

The weekend is almost here.. perk up people :) 

Oh what a relief it is...

So the Internet saga continued last night when I received a box to send back the equipment. So I called and spoke to the company some more and it did nothing but make me sad because they kept blaming me for what happened. Not only did they cancel and charge us a cancellation fee, but now they are being big ole meanies. I just could not see God's plan here. I wanted so bad to, but I just felt sick.

Well today I wrote their legal department..again and again :) I do like to be persistent haha.
I actually got a call back! I couldn't believe it and this girl was super nice. Can we say a definite miracle! Thank you God is all I could think when she was saying, I believe that you did not do this. Wow. I was and still am blown away. She even said they would waive all reconnect fees and refund the early termination fees.  What an answer to prayer! I mean I cannot express to you how nice this lady was! I mean God is in control folks!

This doesn't really have anything to do with my story, I just love this song :)
Rhett Walker Band-Come to the river listen HERE.

I mean all in all I think I might have made a C on this test, I hope to do much better next time! I know God will take care of me so why do I left my emotions take over. Crazy emotions haha!

Y'all I am just so excited. We really have to stay strong in faith and know God has got this and everything for us! We have to let Him work. Just because it seems like it is all falling down around you.. turns out it is really not. Let go and Let God!

So I was really encouraged yesterday thanks to a lovely comment from my sis, Misty. She said she felt I should name our farm and refer to it by name when we speak about it. Well we have! Chris and I both agreed on Huff's Place. I am pretty sure we will open a farm stand too :) I mean why not.. Naylor is in desperate need of one :D.

Folks I am just over the moon! (moon reference is for you Jess hehe)
I need to remember this and remember to stay strong when things like this come at you. Our God is so much bigger than anything that will ever come our way!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!!!

"You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." 

Psalm 16:11

Let go

Happy Tuesday

So I've been dealing with this Internet thing for a few days now and i am trying to really let it go. I know God is handling this for me. Why and how am I so sure?? Well he is God and I am his daughter. He has told me to wait and stand still while He handles everything. It really is amazing to think about it. I mean well it just is :). I have come to this with the help of my sister,Kelly, and her encouraging words about this situation. My attitude needs to stay good and focused on God and I want to be completely thankful of what He has done and will do. I think waiting around is not my strong suit and getting immediately angry and worried is what comes naturally. Well I am being tested for big things and I don't know what I should be doing, but I was told to wait and do nothing, so I am going to follow orders and not be discouraged. So I am being confident in following orders because Big Daddy's got this!
 That feels really good to say because it is true. Unfortunate things happen that we have no control over, we just have to let go, give it to God and believe in Him to take care of us.

Isaiah 41:13 NKJV) For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.'


Ok so now I am back to where I was yesterday! Yay God!  I am so glad we are able to listen to K-Love all day at work! That sure does put my 'tude in check :)  This is the song playing now and I just really like that.
One thing remains-Kristian Stanfill. check it out here.

OHHH OHHH OHH---you know how yesterday I was talking about freedom, well today's encouraging word from K-LOVE IS

Encouraging Word

I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to your commandments.

Psalm 119:45 NLT | Sign up to receive the bible verse of the day 
Provided By: New Living Translation

I love when stuff like that happens. :)

You can get their daily encouraging words emailed to you if you go to their main page HERE. 

You can also find the radio station in your area, just saying.. good stuff there!

On a totally different note, I looked out my kitchen window yesterday and saw Addy washing her 4-wheeler. I thought it was hilarious and super cute. haha

I just had to share. :)

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.


I hope everyone has a stupendous day!! 

I am Free!

Welcome back and Happy Monday!

I didn't wrote  over the weekend so lets catch up. We were fantastically busy this weekend with home stuff which was really nice. We got a new patio set, yippee! I love it. I did not love putting it together haha, but it got done and we ate our first meal at the new table, that was really nice!

Here it is!

See my growing crops.. haha just kidding that's just grass before I completely got it tilled up.

I worked on it for a while yesterday. We didn't get it planted, but we are very close! 

We also worked on painting the shed ....red.. but at least I did get to pick the color and I really like it. Next we will do all the trim work and the doors!

Addy bug doing a great job

Tada!

Please look to the left of the shed and you will see my nice fully tilled garden. Thank you haha

It feels really good to have that done and be on to the fertilizing/planting stage. Feels freeing. 

That is what I have been hearing a lot of lately. Freedom. Over these past couple weeks, I have felt God freed me from a lot of things and I feel freeeee! Which is amazing. That's what they talked about in church yesterday and it was good. It was a different service, had a lot of praying for people and I have to tell you I really enjoy worship time and that's what it felt like a whole service of worship and prayer. I mean I love prayer, so anytime you think of me, you are more than welcome to pray for me as well :) just saying haha

I want to share another song it is Newsboys-Gods not dead (feel free to click the link) I just really like it. It is one of Addy's favorites too. She loves to belt it out in the car or in Lowe's or really anywhere there is someone that can hear her haha. It makes me soooo very happy to know she is singing the words to these songs that we hear on K-Love. 

I feel so amazingly blessed and excited about life. That is really all I have for today. I am thankful for what God is doing in our life and can't wait to go forward. 

Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song

I just want to yell Thank you Up to Him.! Here is another song that is just wonderful I think so listen and enjoy. Colton Dixon-You Are

I hope everyone has a fantastic Monday!!!

Just a few random pictures from the weekend :)

Roasting a marshmallow on grill HAHA

Beautimous 

She Loves to pose!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday! I woke up today thanking God for today. I hit a rough patch last night. I called about our Internet because it didn't seem to be working. They informed me it was disconnected because we tried to download the same song 6 times on different days. What!!?? I told them no that is not possible and she told me there is nothing I can do but try to appeal it with their legal department and contact the recording industry association of America. Well that just made me sick.

I was really mad so I called Danette, who is a great prayer warrior, and spilled. She reminded me that the devil always tries to get at you any way he can and God would handle this. I knew He would, but it made me feel good to hear it. I prayed because I knew this was out of my hands and I wanted to give it to God and not worry. So I woke up feeling fantastic because I know God is on my side and handling all the details. That feels really good.

So, lets begin the great day. I get in the car and go to throw put some nasty milk(don't ask) and spill it on my pants. Yuck! surprisingly this did not affect my attitude. Yippeee :) I was like well that's ok, ill just put some water on it at mom's when I drop addy off. So it has been a great morning. not being sarcastic here folks it really has been. I thought wow this is awesome, when I don't let the minor things get to me and I know God is handling everything.. I can really be at peace. YAY!

So what we don't have Internet, we have our phones and maybe that's still what I am doing here at work haha :)

It is still rainy here so we may or may not be planting tomorrow. We will see. I did find out I get to see my bestie and her family at the end of the month! Yay! And then a reunion of sorts in June with my girls!

So this verse popped up again today. I did say I would be strong and courageous. I re declared it this morning too.

 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”(Deuteronomy 31:6)

It is really comforting knowing and really feeling God with you.  This is a repeat but it fits this situation for me

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Philip. 4:6

Let me just tell you, I was really anxious last night and was thinking oh no I am going to be sued for supposedly downloading one song or attempting to anyway., but then Jess also reminded me God will take care of this. She is right. So I prayed and thanked God for taking care of this situation. God does do miracles folks. I have seen that!

OHHH I am a fan of this verse,
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.“ (Matt. 6:34)

Amen! Isn't that the truth. That is like being the "what if" person. Ahh so stressful I can't even imagine and we don't have to!!! None of us. Just give it all to God. He wants to help!!

Happy Friday Folks!!!

oh woe is me...THE LOST BLOG!!

This is the lost entry.. well turns out after I rewrote a new one and published it... I saw this one had reaappeared! So I will let you read both!!



So after a fabulous day and night. Thursday reared its ugly head. I had a great conversation with my mom last night about what God is doing and it's so encouraging, etc, etc. Well somewhere between sleep thirty and 6 am, I woke up in a rage. Yuck! I was mad and it showed. Why, why was I acting this way, nothing had happened?? I just couldn't shake this gunk and it took me until well about 5 minutes ago to get rid of it.

I had to take some paperwork to our home office and wasn't too thrilled with taking the time to do so.  Thank the Lord I did. I was listening to K-Love and they were referring to a girl who had heard form God that she go to college, but found out she lost her funding. Her aunt said to her, well didn't God tell you to go? Well then pack your bags, if God told you then He will do the rest, but pack your bags. Sure enough she got awarded a 3 year scholarship. They went on to say don't let fear get in the way of what God has told you to do. Pack your bags and get ready. Well Hello! I mean I wanted to run home and "pack my bags". I do not want fear getting in the way of what God has planned for me and my family. No Way!

2 Timothy 1:7 BBE

Bible in Basic English

For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.

I'll take that spirit of power and cast out that spirit of fear! Well that felt great :) The little sneaky fear will try again to come back. We have to end him packing folks!

So I was telling my mom about this song we sang at church on Sunday. It is one of my faves and I love to just belt it out(generally in the car haha). So here it is.  Alive by Natalie Grant.  I just wanted to share because I love it .

On a funny note the hubs wanted a sweet treat last night and well we have nothing. We are trying to eat healthy and so we don't normally buy sweet stuff. He found some marshmallows and proceeded to roast them... inside haha! Don't worry I do have a pic! Hilarious I tell you!!

Well that was just to great to share!



I just ran across this verse and well it's  right on target... funny how that always happens isn't it :)

Jeremiah 32:27  “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind.  Is anything too hard for me?”

Well that is what I came to yesterday, nothing is too big or hard for God. We limit what He can do, stop putting limits on how much He can bless you!

I also really like this verse

Joshua 1:9  “Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

I feel like that is what I need to do. Be strong and courageous. I believe what he has told me, but I need to stop acting like a weenie and own it. I can say it a million times but if I don't whole heartedly believe, well what's the point. I will not be discouraged! Amen!
