Staying Aware

Well it Tuesday. Made it thru the Monday daily chaos of life and work. Have fallen behind in my reading of the dare book. I have finished day 1,2, and 3

Day one - Patience
Day two- Kindness
Day three- Selfishness

We are doing things slowly and taking each day and accomplishing them in our marriage and in the daily lives before we go on.

It just amazes me that the devil thinks he can slide in anywhere and at any time when you go to doing something for God. The point I have become to realize is that he can get in and easily anywhere if we let him. We must always stay aware of the devil and his lurking when we are trying to strengthen ourselves in our Godly life. When you try to work on something the harder he tries to sneak on in.

Stay aware and stay prayed up.

God's Blessings

Had a friend call me this afternoon with proof and relief that God is still working. Just goes to show as I put in my earlier blog that God works with small blessings all around us.


Praise God!

It is Friday folks

As I am sitting here working away, I catch myself thinking of wanting to be outside in the sunshine. As today is the first day of spring, I can here the birds singing, see the flowers blooming and here the lawnmowers working. It is just another sign of how God is still at work, we must never be to busy to stop and think of the small things that He blessed us with that makes everything seem wonderful.

Guess I will have to settle for opening the door and wait for Saturday to be able to go out and enjoy the sun for awhile.

Everyone have a good, safe, and blessed weekend !!!!!

Everything Green

Well we had our green day at church. The kids had a good time some calling it the green party. Food was interesting. I made green "fat free" cupcakes-- not, but the idea everything green is good for you was a thought; and of course green tea(not really a good idea for southern sweet tea - kinda changes the taste) and of course the green hamburger pie. Who new you could die hamburger green! Glad it tasted better than it looks. We all had a good time and to be in Gods House was wonderful once again. I thank God for all my family and friends.

The Love Dare Book

As you all know my family and I have seen Fireproof. It was great- suggest all who have not seen it watch it. Well I had not been able to get out of my mind The Love Dare book. Purchased it the first of this week and have started it. My husband has chose to do this with me. We just started it and we both have decided to start journals of our own for each day. Our marriage is good, strong and faithful. I believe there is always room for improvement. Will keep you posted on how the dares go. So far we are one for one. Only have 39 more to go.

The first day is patience.

"Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger." (James 1:19)

American Dream

Tuesday morning on the way to work listening to the local radio station, they were talking about the prefect women or man. The man was one that check in and gave the wife the daily schedule, talked with the kids, gave her the time she needed, etc. The women was one that never bothered her husband during that football game, loved to fish, hunt, and kept the home peaceful. The comments that were called in said "Where can I find him or her; that sounds like a dream come true." One man called and said that he had a friend that his wife put her husbands clothes out every morning, had his coffee made before he went to work, the friend said that he wish she didn't do this, because she didn't have to. This got me thinking; I put my husbands clothes out, make his breakfast, fix his lunch and so forth most everyday. I do these things because I want to not because he expects it. I do my best to keep my house in peace and orderly. Not that this always happens. LOL. At our M&M Class this past week we talked about are we living someones dream and what it takes to keep our house in peace.

I have given this a lot of thought, and have decided that I am one very lucky women to be living out my dream. That is living out that American dream for earth and living also the dream of the Godly life on earth. What better peace than to have a wonderful Godly husband, a beautiful step daughter that I have the chance to to help raise in the Godly way, and to have friends, family to love and help in many different ways.

YES I AM LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM! AND ONE DAY WILL LIVE THE HEAVENLY DREAM ALSO! THANK GOD I AM BLESSED!

Green Cooking

Good Morning—

Hope everyone has had a good weekend. I was blessed with another good weekend. Well everyone knows that we are having a St. Patrick’s Day fellowship at church this week. Okay I decided to see what my meal would turn out and how it would taste so I tried it early. Well I cooked it before we went to church it looked interesting then. When we got home from church, I dipped some out and put it in the plate to heat it and it was all over with from there. I looked at my husband and he looked at me and the laughing began and continued on for some while. It looked really gross, as if it had been in the fridge for months--- looked like something that you would see in the college student’s fridge.

However the taste was not bad, the look however is still to be determined.
