A Glimpse of "Teenager Land"

By
This was what I saw when I walked into Ashley's room this afternoon. Does it get any more "Teenager-ish?!" Chatting on the cell phone (that's my cell phone), perusing a magazine, and listening to her new CD. Well, even though she's twelve and a half, I think I can safely say we have officially arrived at the teenage years.

Frankly I was taken aback. What happened to the cute, cuddly little five-year-old who used to play dress up, get into her mommy's make-up, and sing kid church songs in her cute little pixy voice? She's gone forever, replaced by this big girl who knows a whole lot more about the world than I did at her age. But she's also way more comfortable in her skin than I was at that age (or even a few years ago, lol!). It is so fun to watch her grow up!

AHH YES.. those were the teen years.. my mom used to say.. i wore the telephone like necklace.. it was always on!! and it was. No cell phone for me though back then.

She's such a beautiful girl!!! Oh my.. I know my boy is about the same age as yours.. but I just can't imagine.. my little girl being big like that one day. Boys.. they do get that teenage attitude.. but they don't grow up quite as fast as girls.. he's still a childish little guy.

Oh.. I remembered what I wanted to ask you.. (and I know I could look it up online or take classes.) but I really just want to make a very simple.. simple quilt or blanket.. like on one side a design.. or one fabric and the other just a solid. I will email you a picture from a photoshoot I did.. and I just want to create several blanket type.. to lay babies on.. anyway.. the point is.. they aren't' just 2 fabrics stitched together.. I was thinking of your placemats.. just larger!! :)

okay.. talk soon! sorry so long!

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

By Carmela
hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big picture that He has shown me so far?  Eve

Your "Fairy-Tale" Life

By Carmela
Your life may not look like a fairy tale, and it may certainly not FEEL like a fairy tale, but I am going to attempt to prove to you today that your Christian walk parallels a fairy-tale life.  😊  Initially, this may sound almost blasphemous to you, but I am so certain that I received this directly from God.  I pray that it encourages you to believe that God is working in your situation whether you see evidence of it or not.  He is such a good God, and such a big God.  😊 First, I would like to start with the main points that a speaker made at a Girls Ministries camp that I attended a few weeks ago, which were the springboard for what God revealed to me. • It took a lot of courage for Cinderella to respond to the prince’s invitation to the ball because of how her family made her feel. • It also took a lot of courage for Mary to obey and follow God’s plan for her life. • If we agree to follow Jesus and accept His invitation, and keep our eyes on Him, He will take us on a beau
