Mother-Daughter Tea.

I have always gone as a daughter to Mother-Daughter events. Even as a mom, I still went to honor a mother. Or, I was the one in charge of the event, and really got little recogonition as I was working. Tonight, I was treated instead. How cool! I have arrived. And I liked it. Made me feel those mother feelings, that we take for granted so many...

Elephant Ears and Cotton Candy-

I wrote in January that I felt that my life had been a rollercoaster for the past few years. I was ready for some land time with Cotton Candy and Elephant Ears. Took a little for us to adjust, but we are learning so much and changing so much...and we are finally experiencing some of it! I realized the following Deep Tuesday Thoughts today:2 months of staying on budget. 2 months of not missing an event b/c "I did not feel up to it". 2 weeks of menu planning, and sticking to it. (so this...

More Charm and Grace...

Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn. --John WesleyThis quote best describes my next charm and grace, which was found today. This week it was the most enthusiastic usher I have ever seen. He actually made me cry right in the middle of the sanctuary. Really. (Please do not take into consideration that it is that time of the month, as this will take away from the over all effect :P) Mr Huggy (my name for usher man), warmed my heart with charm and grace....

Measuring Growth...

How do you measure growth? Physical Growth---by the tape measure and scale. Emotional Growth--ability to control emotions in any given situation? Spiritual Growth---having stamina?How does a child measure growth??? By reaching new achievements! Isaac's proudest moment this week was when he could reach the light switch. He came running in to tell...

No new News...

Smiles. No new news. Same ol thing. What is up with that. My life has been so peaceful, that I hardly know what to do! It is rather disturbing at times, but oh so welcomed. Amazing how a few changes in your life can create this oasis within your home and heart!Getting ready to start a new book study. Excited about that.Working on a Blog dedicated for Deal Alerts! A girl in our ABF thought of it to inform our friends. She is a fellow saver, and is always getting the calls of, "do you know...

Earth Shake

God was talking to us last night. He was whispering to this earth. And I heard it. We had an earthquake. Very very rarely does this happen to where we Hoosiers can feel it. This was one of the biggest shakes in Indiana history. 5.2. Brian and I have always loved acts of nature like this. Not because we are morbid people, and like to see humans suffer. But, because we love to see God work in His mighty ways. WOW! I was reminded of the book of Job...and I had to come find the verse....

Stained Glass....

I happened to be thinking some strange thoughts about stained glass and thought I would be vulnerable and share them with the wonderful blog world. I love stained glass artwork and think it is remarkable. But guess what...it is stained. It is a wonderful piece of art that sheds light and beauty to the viewer. Stained glass shows the hand of the...

Welcome Baby Bella...

We saw her...and she is beautiful. Abbie and Isaac are so deeply in love. As we were walking out, Abbie said that she wanted to buy a baby. She wanted it that bad. I was waiting for Isaac to answer back some catchy line like...no Abbie we just have to take one, but he was deep deep in thought. He was very concerned that the nurse was going to hurt...

Yiippppppeeee...I am not a Failure!

Newsflash to me.Tonight was open house at Faith for children's ministries. We were able to talk with the teachers about the progress our children are making, and areas that they need some work. If you want to really know how your children are doing, ask someone else, who is more objective.So, the news on Absie Gabs. She is excelling! Bravo Abs. Her teacher told us that she presents herself as one of the OLDEST in the class (it is 1st and 2nd graders) Abbie technically should still be in Kindergarten,...

Good Grief Gravy...

Poor Brian hurt his finger (pointy on right hand) pretty badly last night. He also got a pretty bad head injury at the same time. Both are fairly severe gashes. Both required hospital attention. He opted for glue instead of stitches, but is rethinking how bad he actually was hurt, since he is now in pain. Poor guy looks rough. If you think about him, keep him in your prayers. He is rather embarrassed, especially of the head injury, but he will get over ...
