Angie over at By Faith Posted this song on her site. It spoke straight to my heart this morning, so I thought I would share the song here:   I desire to be an instrument of peace and love. I desire to manifest the gifts of the spirit in my life, so others can see of the hope that lies within!   Lord use me!

Natural Science Museum

Since my sister’s arrival we have been taking a “break” from schooling, Just enjoying her company. But of course we had to squeeze in 1 school field trip while she was here so we went to the Natural Science Museum and to the Butterfly Museum. We had fun… Here are some photos for our day…

Last few days in review…

Well the last few days have been busy since my sister has arrived.   Of course my sister is a ball full of energy and fun so Thursday we spent hanging out, and catching up and she taught me how to wax my own eyebrows, and my daughters eyes. Amazingly the day went quickly. Friday we went shopping for the weekend. With all the places we stopped, it literally  took us all day.    On Saturday, my sister spent the day cooking, she made fresh sushi, sweet and sour chicken and fried rice, all in Celebration for Paul’s Graduation.  We had no intention of doing anything graduation due to many things, but one being we are taking a big trip to PA in June. Everything extra is going towards that trip. My sister would not have it that way, so with the heart the size of Texas, she worked all day to make the day a GREAT success.           Sunday was full of another celebration.. Honor’s 12th Birthday. She took the children to black light

another month…

Another month has come and gone.. and I am typing this truly broken inside… why because it is another reminder that I will not be holding a little one in my arms any time soon.  The reality of that hits me about the same time every month- most months, I handle it with grace, just placing my hope on next month, but not today. I have come to this realization- that we humans fool ourselves in believing we can make things happen and truly God is in control. I was fooling myself in thinking that if I kept track of everything, right times, dates, etc. I could make it happen. But I am the one wearing the Dunce hat now.. How prideful am I to think that I could “make” anything happen? Or that I have control over any area of my life including bringing a child into this world? Am I any different from Eve- who thought if she ate of the tree that she would be Like/as God? No.. because I honestly thought that if I did certain things I would get pregnant. I am exposing myself to all of you-

what does my blog mean to me??

You know it is so easy to get sucked into the blogging world. You look at some of these VERY large blogs, and you think boy I would like to be that big. Geez I sure would like to have as many followers/ readers as she has. I think back, or even look back at the beginning, why did I start blogging? My motivation was not for others, but for me. My motivation was for a place to share a piece of myself, my heart, my prayers, my life… It was never to get a lot of followers or to be considered some profound blogger. NO- it was to leave a legacy of myself to my children. My words for them to read on every situation, or occasion in my life/ our lives. In hopes that every word, they see Christ emulating forth. It is so easy in the “world of blogging” to lose our focus on what it is we are doing, and why we are doing it… but for me it is not to bring people flocking to my blog. For me it is to be me.. for me to share what I love, My Lord Jesus, my beloved and my absolutely wonderful childr

Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday - Posted using BlogPress from Angie

God’s Gift

This morning I have been burden with a word to share so here it goes: First I read: Acts Chapter 11: 1-18 Then, I read Mathew Henry’s commentary on Acts Chapter 11- Verser 1-18 “The imperfect state of human nature strongly appears, when godly persons are displeased even to hear that the word of God has been received , because their own system has not been attended to. And we are too apt to despair of doing good to those who yet, when tried, prove very teachable. It is the bane and damage of the church, to shut out those from it, and from the benefit of the means of grace, who are not in every thing as we are . Peter stated the whole affair. We should at all times bear with the infirmities of our brethren; and instead of taking offence, or answering with warmth, we should explain our motives, and show the nature of our proceedings. That preaching is certainly right, with which the Holy Ghost is given. While men are very zealous for their own regulations, they should take care tha
