Why I am blogging......

I started this blog to up-date others on the day-to-day events of our family. As the children grew older, and I grew wiser, I realized I wanted to change my direction, and the children wanted to be ommitted from the blog completely. I hope to still manage to include them from time to time but perhaps just through pictures. I am searching for my niche, and way to help lighten the load of others and perhaps lead others to my savior, Jesus Christ. I am focusing on "What really matters" and hopefully, I can help others in some small productive way. While I am changing gears, I will still be throwing in random thoughts, recipes and etc. I am glad you stopped by and bear with me, as I begin to grow and span my wings and fly in a new direction!

Blessed Life....

I was thinking today (scary) how fast the world is turning.  I wished I could drag my toe and make it slow down just a little!!!  I have several friends who are experiencing hard times and tough decisions now in their lives.  I offer my prayers to each one of them, it is the single BEST thing I can do.  I (We) have a straight, wireless connection to the Commander and Chief, and he even knows my (our) name (s)!!! Wow!  When I feel overwhelmed, helpless, weary, excited HE is there with me.  That is amazing to me!!!

Yes, the world slowing down is appealing but not realistic, or is it?  It is up to ME!  I am reminded to BE STILL AND KNOW I AM GOD.  How comforting....I hope and pray for peace and love to all-

A Great First Day Back a Work....

Today at lunch I bought purple tulips to set on my desk.  It is amazing how much happiness flowers brings me.  I love love love all kinds of flowers but, I do have a few favorites!!

My co-workers are an amazing group of people.  The Lord has always "put" me around good people.  I am blessed.

Have a great week.

love and peace to all-

It's Finally Friday....and thank you...

Good Afternoon and a rainy one at that!!!  First, I want to thank all my sweet buddies for calling and checking on me and for the sweet notes, and cards.  I am so blessed to have friends.  Thank you thank you.

It has been a stressful week to say the very least.  But all is ok and that is ALL that matters.
AS I type this I am looking outside and thinking about the flowers blooming and looking at the flowers Mark brought me.  Flowers and ice cream are little mircle workers.  heheheheheheeeeee

Is it Friday Yet????........

What a Lon---g week!  Our house has been so busy and usually that equals a fast week, but NOT this week.  I am so ready for Spring!  I always get spring fever during January and February.  I am anxious to see the buttercups and the first signs of life.  However, I will just have to wait until at least after this weekend, snow, ice, cold. Yuck!  Hopefully it will be a pretty snow and I can get out and take some pics. 

Have a good weekend. :)love and peace to all

Painting and thinking...

We try to do our home improvements during the winter months because we go to the lake most every weekend during the summer.  Well, we are slow getting started this winter but we are fixing to kick it into high gear.  We are adding crown molding to most of our rooms.  I have been thinking of painting my wood kitchen cabinets.  Mark does not like the ideal at all, but I want color.  Maybe a crisp white, or a glazy something something?  I am scared!  If anyone reading this has painted their wood cabinets I would love to hear from you.  Do you regret it?  Any tips?

We are also thinking of painting and paneling our fireplace.  I want to panel it and paint the brick white.  When I say panel I mean the decortive strips of paneling like framing.

We may have to go to counseling before we even start.  It is hard to work and do home improvements also.  Say a prayer for us!!love and peace to all
