ย 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. –ย Colossians 3:16

God Almighty, thank you for giving us music! Singing moves my heart and inspires me to action. I ask that in every song that I find myself worshiping will be active in my heart to inspire me to holy living, ministry, and compassion. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Five Question Friday

(Click the Image above to link up with us!)

1. Do you have siblings and are you close with them?
I am an only child, but I do have 3 sisters (1/2 sisters, and 1 is adopted – my dads side of the family) 1 brother (1/2 brother – dad side of the family). I think we are closer this year than any other year. If they need me they know to call. ๐Ÿ™‚
2. Would you rather be slightly UNDER weight or slightly OVER weight?
I think I would rather be slightly under weight. I am trying to loose weight now, just trying to get back down to “normal” if I was under weight I don’t think I would have problems. I use to weigh (105-115 lbs).
3. What’s your favorite State Fair food to splurge on?
Dude, funnel cakes… I can only eat about 5 bites before I hand it off to someone else, ha!
4. What are your thoughts on your kid(s) going to school in a few weeks?
Jade doesn’t start school till next year and the only thing I have to say to that is YIPPY!!!! haha! I can so get my house cleaned and do the things I need to do around the house without her messing it up, at least while I was home and she was at school, but you know when she gets home from school she might play. ๐Ÿ™‚ Either way it will be good for her and me.

5. Pool or Ocean?
Gimme the pool to swim laps in and gimme the ocean to smile at as I sit with my feet close to the water. I miss the salty smell of the ocean. ๐Ÿ™‚

My mom for helping me at the Doctor’s office.
My hubby
New Clothes
More Bark for the flower beds
Living room makeover
Friends
Cell Phone
Daughter for the smiles and giggles and of course the random hugs.
Roof over my head
K-Love radio station that I listen to online
Water Aerobics
3-Day free pass to my moms gym

We all have things to be thankful for from the shoes on your feet, clothes on your back, the water you drink, the house you live in, the car that drives you to where you want to go, and more… We have a billion things to be thankful for, can you think of one?

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
– John 7:37-38

Streams of water;ย  living water for dying hopes, cool water for scorched hearts, refreshing water for those tired and weary. This is, of course, much more than a liquid we can drink with our lips. This is the ultimate water of the soul that God longs to give to us, his children. Let’s spend the month refreshing ourselves with the promises of Jesus and trusting that, as we draw close to him, the Spirit will restore our soul.

My Prayer…

Father, thank you for sending Jesus to save me and the Holy Spirit to provide and renew me. Please bless me as I draw closer to you and restore my soul with the refreshing living water of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

My Dream Come True

My Dream House

Wow, I have been thinking about this one since 2004.

It is a ranch style house with no “dog houses” on top. It has a straight roof, with a full front porch, and a big enough back porch. My yard is landscaped front and back. The back yard is fenced in for the dogs and all the kid toys are out back as well. There is a cedar type shed for hubby’s things, a garage that has a covered walkway to the side door of the house.

Google Image

(it would look like this but a straight roof)

The outside would be either a moss green plank-board, or desert tan vinyl siding. The shutters would be black, as well as the window treatments. The front porch would be painted white. White posts, and a stained porch floor, or placed rock in smooth cement. Black iron thing to go on the columns of the porch to hang flowers from, the driveway would be poured cement lined with flowers on both side, also poured cement coming from the driveway to the front porch steps.

Google Image

The back yard would have a pond with goldfish, and a swing set that would last forever, a tire swing hanging in the shade of a huge tree, and hanging just barely off the ground. There would be a sitting area with a grill with flowers all around for the feel of peace or romance, just whichever mood strike first. The back yard will be up for entertainment and playing as the front yard would be for the hammock laying as you read a great book, or for a quick nap.

Google Image

When you walk into the inside it would be warm and inviting. There would be a double window when you walk in. The L-shape kitchen would be on your left, with an island that you could see from the living room. The flat screen would fit onto the wall so you can watch tv from the kitchen, and it would be an open floor plan. The Dining room would be to your right.
There would be 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths. The laundry room would be right beside the side door to go to the garage (which is a detached). The laundry room would be big enough to fold laundry, and house everything from the hot water heater, to the washing machine, and dryer, with a small sink just in case I might need to rinse off my shoes from being outside. One of the 4 bedrooms would be a type of office/workout room.

The Master bedroom would be big. It would have double french doors and have a walkway to the porch outside. The bathroom would be connected to the bedroom, with just a door separating them. There would be a jetted tub, with a window, the shower would be big enough for two, and it would be made with slate rock. The walk-in closet would be right outside the bathroom, of course one side mine, one said his, haha!

I shall continue dreaming ๐Ÿ™‚ Maybe one day this will be my Dream Come True.

Six Word Saturday


Yikes, my list keeps getting bigger.

So, I have this DIY list that just keeps adding up, and I will get around to do every one of them! I just have to get all my supplies together to do it.

1) The purse – Redneck Princess taught us how she did it. Well, I just have to pick out an old T-shirt and that is just hard, lol!!! jkk I just need to kick myself and get it done! and of course, make Jade one too!!

2) I am wanting to paint my Entertainment Center, End Table, Bookcase and Coffee table a flat (mate) black, but I am scared it will peel off. I don’t know a lot about painting, so you have to start somewhere. I want to paint them black and get silver knobs ๐Ÿ™‚ It will really bring out a lot of things including the black picture frames I already have hanging up in the house.
First, I know I will have to sand them down, then work on what paint to use. Any ideas??

3) Sanding Jades dresser down from fire engine red, and begin painting it white ๐Ÿ™‚ Along with her bed, so they both will match.

4) Finding a picture frame/picture to make a chalk board.. I want a crackle dark red paint as the frame to bring out the dark red in most of my pictures throughout the house. (I just need to stop being picky)

5) Making or buying a black and white picture to go over our bed in the bedroom. Getting random black and white pictures to match but smaller to go on other walls in the same room.

6) Getting my flower beds done, and buying more bark. Oh, and of course more flowers, you can’t have too many ๐Ÿ™‚

7) Building a circle where my hosta was, so we can pour cement. We are moving our table and chair down there.

8) Making Coasters ๐Ÿ˜ฎ with Tile and Cardstock ๐Ÿ™‚

Five Question Friday


(Click on the Image above to start Five Question Friday with us!! Link us up)
1. Vow renewal ceremonies-yay or nay?
I have to say why not? I think a vow renewal is a great way to show your dedication, especially if that couple has been through a rough road, and overcome battles of health, or life. I think it would be a great idea ๐Ÿ™‚ So, YAY!

2. What sound/s annoy you the most?
This reminds me of my Pet Peeves post, haha!
Squeaky wheels on a buggy/shopping cart
Silverware on a plate… aggghh!!!
Someone blowing their nose, and you can hear the stuff coming out… eww GAG
The sound of “Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, I HAVE TO GO PEE!!” – Sigh, Just go!

3. If you had to pick, would you have only all boys, or only all girls for kids?

Had to pick!? Why can’t we just have both? ๐Ÿ™‚

4. Do you believe in alternative medicine?

I believe in any type of medicine that will help someone.

5. Would you take a family member’s children and raise them if they needed it?
Depends. Are these children that are under the age of 12? I wouldn’t want to raise 12 or over kids that are “troubled” kids. Maybe if they lost their parent, then yeah, but just because something happened and the parents didn’t want them, then no. A.K.A I wouldn’t want obnoxious kids.
On the other hand if the kids were behaved and didn’t think the whole world should just give them whatever, then yeah ๐Ÿ™‚

Thankful Thursday

Now comes the rest of the fun…
click the image (above) and spread the word. Invite your friends, neighbors..to join!

This week I am THANKFUL for…

  • My friend Debbie for lending me the new Janet book! Smokin’ Seventeen will be on my next thing to read!
  • Church – Jade even enjoyed it and that is always a plus!
  • Doctors – For giving them enough knowledge to know when something is wrong
  • Motivation – not just myself but the motivation from friends
  • For the Dark Sensation Hot Chocolate
  • Pain – If I didn’t have pain, then I would be where I always was. Since there is pain, then I know I am changing.
  • Today – Today is another day God has given me to make a change, to change myself, or even change my ways ๐Ÿ™‚

Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
– Philippians 4:4-7

Another great Wednesday on my calendar, and halfway till the weekend and also halfway till Sunday ๐Ÿ™‚

What has been great about your week so far?
Mine, well, I got good news from my tests at the Doctors ๐Ÿ™‚ and I am visualizing how my living room would look if I painted our entertainment, bookcase, end table black with silver knobs ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Also been thinking about painting our cabinets in the kitchen ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I need something to doooo!! hahaha! OOoOooOo One more thing I have been thinking about is painting our daughters room, and painting her dresser and bed White (her dresser right now is Red… like firetruck red, so I will have to sand it and probably paint it gray before white). I have so many ideas and I want to get them done, but yet still have that little bird in my head saying “noooo don’t paint it” (sigh).

Anyway!! I hope your day is going great and I will be leaving you with a song ๐Ÿ™‚ Enjoy, The Weekend is almost here… YIPPIE!!
