"What's Happening?" you ask?

Knee deep in construction again--

getting the living room, dining room, hallway, and kitchen painted
removing the old wall unit for the heater
having new baseboards put in

It is a huge job. It will be four days tomorrow (there's only two of them), and I PRAY that they get done tomorrow. Originally they said it would only take two days, but the spackling took forever (especially in the kitchen), and the weather did not cooperate, lol!

The last thing on the list that we have to hire someone for is to do the wiring for lighting in the kitchen, dining room, and electricity to the garage.

THEN I'M DONE FOR A VERY LONG TIME!!

Don't get me wrong. I'm extremely grateful that we have the opportunity to make our house a home and help it live up to its potential. I thought it would be years before we would be able to make any improvements. But I am tired of the clutter everywhere, tired of all the dust, and biting at the bit to put stuff on the walls and decorate for Christmas ... again! :)

Speaking of which, maybe I'll post a few pictures of when we set up the Christmas tree. Maybe tomorrow. And by special request, I'll post some of Ashley's pics of Italy, but she has to tell me what they are, lol!

All gifts are bought except my husband's. I can never come up with something good.

Ta Ta for now!

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! Story behind the song "Tell Your Heart To Beat Again" Lyric Video Have a bright, beaming, better-than-average day! :)
