(Some of) You Asked For It ... You Got It!

Funny how you're more interested in seeing my messy house than my quilt, but, being the kind-hearted, generous person that I am, I decided to oblige you :) Lucky you. This is my contribution to you feeling less guilt.

This is my living room this morning.


This is my kitchen this morning (after my husband very kindly rinsed the dishes and stacked them next to the sink last night).


This is my craft table.




Do you ladies feel better now?!


Well, I'm sorry, I just couldn't leave it at that. So after Ashley and I picked up everything, I took some "after" photos just to redeem myself ... because I have been working very hard the past few months at not having a messy house (and I'm so excited because I'm actually at the point now where I can't tolerate it messy for more than 24 hours. Yeah me!).


So these are the "After" photos:

of my living room:


my kitchen:


and not the craft area 'cause I haven't actually cleaned that up yet. And I may not get around to it till we come back. And that's okay!
I hope to post about two more things before we leave tomorrow morning. So check back!
And just one more thing: I can't wait to see your messy bedroom now, Teena ;) lol!

Wow...that is soooo not messy. When I get the courage, I will post some of my sins too. I bet I can find some good ones of the bathroom floor with all of the little brown curly hairs on it.

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

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 pi...

Genesis 1: Commentary for my students :) {Hi! I miss you already!}

By Carmela
These are my thoughts on Genesis 1.  If you were sitting in front of me in the classroom and we were reading together, this is what I would tell you.  :) So sit back, relax, grab a cup of water ... or Gatorade ... or a juice box ... or your Starbucks, and get ready to be fed spiritually! As you read, try to visualize (get a picture in your head) of what God created each day.  Imagine what it must have looked like to God--first there was nothing but darkness and water, then, slowly, each day, God could look at the new things He added to creation.  That must have been such a great feeling! Try to see it NOT JUST as a cool Bible story, but really try to understand that the AMAZING God we serve is really SO powerful that He could just use His words to make everything appear.  So, truly, NOTHING is impossible with God. Think about what you might be going through in YOUR life--some situation that seems almost impossible or truly impossible.  God CAN fix i...
