Sorry

Sorry. Just not in the mood to blog lately. ...

So tired.

Overwhelmed by the tons of construction going on. We're getting a new kitchen (sooooo glad!), but there's clutter everywhere from moving everything out of the kitchen. I feel like I can't move in my tiny house that has been taken over by kitchen stuff.

No creative energy left to scrapbook or do anything else that's fun. Just really ready for the whole renovation thing to be done ... and discouraged because there's still a lot more to do (as in several weeks worth of work).

I don't function well at all without solid routines, and the renovation has set me off my routines for several weeks.

Carlos' seventh birthday is tomorrow. Kind of sad because my "baby" is getting bigger ... and I can never get that time back. Just want him to stay innocent ... and I want to be the center of his universe forever (well, it's nice to be the center of someone's universe--don't you agree, lol!).

We'll have a very small birthday celebration at our messy house tomorrow (just cake and ice cream ... and presents of course!), and he'll have his real birthday party on Friday at Chuck E. Cheese. Some of his classmates are coming, so that'll be nice for him!

Maybe I'll muster up enough energy and enthusiasm to post some pictures of his celebrations. :)

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
