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.
