Catching Up

By
I started catching up on my "blog reading," and, boy, I've missed A LOT! I decided to take up Samantha's L.O.A.D. challenge (one layout per day). Luckily, I've done three this week. Tonight makes number four. That means I have to whip up three layouts tomorrow.

I could do a layout about my attempts (emphasis on attempts) at gardening, my latest quilting project, our cat's injury ... and I still have to finish our vacation last weekend. I'd better get busy! I also am very intrigued by Ronalyn's "Year.in.Review" Album, so I think I will do it. What a great way to recap all the big and little events in a very easy format.

I think I'm finally recovering from the holidays and all the construction mayhem. I feel like myself now (as opposed to a very apathetic robot, which is how I've felt for several weeks).

This is the layout I created tonight. Basically, more of the same. It's just so much faster when I stick to the same format. This is my first "Sunday" page. It was so fun to watch them play in the snow and remember when I felt as exuberant about the snow as they did :)

I recorded "Pretty Woman" and now I'm off to watch it. It's been soooo long since I've watched a chick flick. Ta ta, y'all!

Well Carmela, I'm sorry to tell you, I'm putting my particpation in LOAD on hold... uptil April! I've got more projects than I can count right now(including Noah's announcments, FOUR gift albums, and several small sewing projects for friends)! Eek! If you want to wait until April (I'll be gone for half of March) and do it with me, you can, if not, I'll be dropping by your blog daily to see what you've been up to! :)

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
