Ponder the Path of Thy Feet.....

Some of you stay faithful to my blog- watching as I worked on this project- and posted pictures of each stage- well I thought you would enjoy seeing her reaction to the quilt... Love In Christ Angie

The Mother Letter Project Dear Mother I hope this letter does not come too late since it is the day before Christmas. As the old saying says- better late than never. Mother, I am writing to share my heart with you. My greatest Christmas prayer is to be pregnant. It would be the only and ultimate gift that could be given to me. Of course I am grateful for the 6 children that have been given to me. Yes I said 6 children, but my arms are empty and aching. My heart has enough room for more! See I had my first 5 at a young age- right after the 5th one was born, I got my tubes tied. Oh how unwise that was. I was not sure if I was done, but my husband was. He was so overwhelmed with 5 little ones running around, though he adored them all. He was unsure of how he would provided, though he does not provide, the LORD does through him, but at that time he did not understand that. Ten years later the Lord lead me to a place, a place of repentance for not trusting, and being faithful to his provisi...

  It is official friends my big project for the season is complete! I finished the quilt! What do you think? I wish you all could see it in person. I hand sewed the binding on in the back, the quilting part I sewed in between each block, but to reinforce it I sewed around the photos and free hand sewed on the machine around each tree! I am so glad it is over~ As I hand sewed the last part- I prayed over the quilt. Asking the Lord to bless it- to let her receive it with joy- to realize the measure of the project and the love that was put into it. well I am off to work on more things! Love In Christ Angie

  I have been working on this digiscrap page forever- but I finally took the time to get it done. It was our Minisnow. Noah's reaction was precious- he thought it was rain and he wanted NO part of it! Love In Christ Angie

  I made these in less than 2 hours- they are so cute on his feet and actually look warm- that Daddy requested a pair similar! Love In Christ Angie

This is so cool, made for me by Sammy! It is a crochet case!!! He did a great job! Angie

  The quilt is now pinned- my largest project ever- I will be honest- I will be glad when it 100% completely done- so I can concentrate on other things! (like my nieces quilt and other projects) Ok- what do you think? Glitter Text Generator

This is the hardest project I have ever made! This is a poncho that me and my son Sammy made for my sister and gave it to her for Christmas-last year.

    Ok I have finished another project- this one came out better than the first one!!! I love it- if I was into pink I would keep for myself, but I am not, so I wont!

I love this one- it is so blue and so pretty!These are our Thanksgiving family portraits.

    Ok Christmas- is always a time I try to get creative. Our budget does not change just because it is Christmas time. So making things- is what we like to do- here is my first finished projected. A crocheted belt- for Sam's sister- with rhinesones(not real of course) Maria loved it! I hope she does!

It is that time of the year again... for those who know me very well know that I am a bah humbug- at Christmas time, but not this year. This year in my heart, in my spirit things are different. I am not quite sure why, maybe it is because we have decided as a family to focus on the true meaning of Christmas, starting with establishing some "new" family traditions that I am praying will stay with us for generation to generations to come! One of them is a devotional about the Nativity - that I purchased from Vyckie Bennette-(please check it out) The funds go to a ministry that Samuel and I help establish called "the Lords Heritage". We are all truly called by God to bring forth His Heritage! When we placed the ornaments on the tree- we saved the ones my sister made for us for last. (they have each of our names on them) As we placed our name bulb on the tree- I had the children share- what This Christmas meant to them. Some, of course, had a profound answer, while oth...

  Noah turned two in November- and this is the first time I actually got to take some good photos of him. Here is a digiscrap page I made of just three of his photos! They grow too fast!

Today is my beloved, my best friend, my soul-mate's birthday. This post is a tribute to him- to all he is to me. He truly is the best thing that ever happened to me. He walked into my life in a time when I did not know what love was or even understand what it truly meant. Like most YOUNG and STUPID young people, I thought love was more of a feeling then an act that was to be shown through my words and action every day. He showed me through his loyalty, and love what it meant to be married.(he continues to do so) He is the most hardworking person I have ever known. He truly is a great provider. I have never had my electricity turned off, car taken, phone turned off, by the grace of God. Samuel has lived his life- providing for me and our 6 children. He truly believes that burden is his to bare, mandated by God- to work, and provide. He is a servant to all who know him, as well as him family. As he sees in scriptures as Jesus lead his disciples through servanthood, he believes that ...

Wow- December is here- I can't believe how quickly this year has gone. I sit here and ponder where my year has brought me. For one- here to Texas, and into the valley. The valley has been so deep and dark. I have had my rays of sunshine, but for the most part it has been spiritually and emotionally dark. Yes I know that we all have our seasons. Yes I know that as we walk through the valley it is a time of growth, reflections, and stretching from the Lord beyond our human limitations, but it hurts anyway. I was beginning to think I was going to be left in that valley- cold and alone. The Lord has shined a ray of hope in my heart. The last two weeks of sermons at the churches(yes more than one) we have been visiting- I feel like the Lord has spoken directly to me. Two weeks ago the preacher spoke on prayer. The scriptures reference comes from Daniel 10:10-15 - he spoke on how we believe in prayer- but how we use the power of prayer sparingly. Mostly because we do not understand how...

  I found this pattern this summer- and it seemed really easy to put together. I was right. It was so simple- and turns out so nice! I love it! This will be my Thanskgiving shirt!

My week has flown by- I can not believe it is Friday. My sister came and went- I can not believe the time flew. It seemed so short. I hate that we are so far apart from each other. She truly is my best friend. I love her laugh, and her silly ways about everything. She truly is a gift to me! Since she has left- I have been trying to concentrate on my projects for Christmas. The biggest one is the quilt for Mrs. Sellers- I pray it turns out! So this is what I have done this week...

        Though Noah's birthday was during the week we could not go without having a big two year old party, with streamers, decorations, and a theme. Go Diego Go of course was the pick of the year. We had Diego plates, napkins, pinata, table cloth and even a Diego cake.(My sister made the cake herself!) It was so much fun to watch him get excited over everything. I LOVE two year old parties!!!

  Layout from marie@freedigitalscrapbooking Today is my baby's Birthday- He turns two years old. It seems like yesterday I was praying and aching for him to be in my arms. Now he is here, walking, talking and keeping all of us on our toes. We are all loving every minute of it! Happy Birthday to my miracle- my joy, my warrior of the King of Kings- Noah-the comforter!
