Favorite Things

Things that make me smile and sometimes laugh:
  • my family
  • Starbucks with friends
  • reading blogs :)
  • parking the car in the driveway of our "new" house, lol! Oh, I guess I've forgotten to take a picture to show, huh?
  • bantering with Ashley (the good kind of bantering--not the kind that gives me gray hairs!)
  • My Missionettes girls (I think we've already been over the fact that even though they all have parents, they're still "my" girls!)
  • breakfast with friends (Hi, Teena!)
  • my new XTi :)
  • Photoshop Elements (one of my best friends 'cause it makes me look like I take good pictures, lol!)
  • scrapbooking (digital and regular)
  • Crock Pot dinners (If I wasn't a Christian I would worship the person(s) who invented it)
  • women friends in general
  • the words Carlos mispronounces (washmouth instead of mouthwash, it's "between the rules" instead of "against the rules," and "overfloat" instead of overflow) I, of course encourage the mispronouciation by repeating it after him :-D
  • when my kids have teachers who "get" kids Hi Debbie! and Matt!--if you are even reading this :-D
  • God (He totally has a sense of humor, doesn't he?!)
  • ThelPioneerlWoman--thanks, Teena ;)
  • hugs from my "babies"
  • NoiselNinja (thanks to Dave Peeters!)
  • when I get to witness other people poking fun at Ashley :) (you know who you are!)

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

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

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

This was amazing!

I'm so sorry.  I AM working on a new post, but to tide you over until then (I should have it up by next Tuesday), I found this on YouTube and was so encouraged and inspired by it.  I will post the story behind the song, and then the link to the song itself.  I hope this blesses you!
