(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.

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 encourag...

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 pi...

Random "me" stuff

Update about the jail visit : We were not able to go this weekend because communicating with an inmate is a little bit complicated, so we were not able to set up a time. I am praying that it works out this week. My friend will get back to me. Also, I found out that I cannot bring him anything. If I want him to have a One-Year Bible, I have to order it online and have it sent directly to him at the jail. I will be in prayer about that as well. Today, I'm keeping it very light. I have had A LOT of time to myself this summer, so I wanted to show you how I've been spending my time: a LOT of getting my classroom ready! My favorite part is the back wall (ready for student work!), so I thought I'd show you that today. the back of my classroom! We will have a "Fruit of the Spirit" Tree in which the kids will each have a paper apple with their name on it. When they see a classmate demonstrating one of the fruits of the Spirit, they w...
