They took the plunge!

Hey everyone! Well let me say that this weekend turned out to be awesome! We were so looking forward to seeing family we haven't seen in several years when last minute the plans got cancelled...:-( It was very dissapointing for all of us, but the Lord has ways of turning our mourning into dancing right! So last minute we decide to go to Spring Valley Lake where our church was having a picnic and baptisms. It was so wonderful to fellowship and meet some new people. There was playing in sand and water for the little ones and relaxation for us grown-ups. We also had worship and some teaching and then the baptisms! Thirty-nine were baptized in all, 2 of those were my boys....

(Acts 2:38) - Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

(I Corinthians 12:13) -For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.

(I Peter 3:21) - This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you—not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Blessings!

My daughter the entrepreneur



My daughter has such an entrepreneurial spirit about her! She has made several notebooks completely from scratch with cardboard and fabric and has even sold them! She sold them for $1 each and sold four of them! I do not know where she got her creativity and ambition from, but wherever and whomever I'm super proud!

Blessings!

1. If you could go back to college would you change your major? Or, if you were to go to college right now...what major would you choose?

Well back when I was in college I was taking law classes to become a paralegal. If I were to go back now, I would probably take history classes. It interests me so much now as I'm getting older and I cant get enough of it. I would defineately also take some college level bible classes as well! Hmmmmm.....you never know maybe I'll just do that some day!

2. What do you love most about your home?

I love the people inside it! As corny as that sounds its true. I love all my decor stuff and crafty stuff but without everyone in it it just wouldn't matter.
3. What types of books do you like to read (if you like to read at all)?

I LOVE to read! I dont get to do as much aside from the bible as I'd like but when I do I love christian fiction, history and biographies!


4. What is the grossest thing you've ever eaten?

Hmmmm....this ones hard because I'm extremely picky so I dont go out of my comfort zone that often. But I'd have to say fish of somekind that hubby had me try. I finally, after much pursuading tried it and with my luck it had a bone in it! YUCK!!!


5. If you HAD to be a character on a TV show, whom would you be?

Oh this one's easy, I'd be Caroline Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie. I wish always I could have her patient and quiet spirit!

Blessings all!

Memorial Weekend

Happy Tuesday, Happy June and hopefully a Happy and safe Memorial Day weekend to you all! We had a wonderful weekend around here, a bbq here on Saturday and another one at my sisters yesterday. The kids got to see their cousins plenty and fun was had by all! It was a great weekend of family, relaxing and appreciation for the sacrifice made by the many, many men and women's who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.


My flag is still raised and blowing gently in the breeze this morning. I won't take it down, I usually have one out year around. I think it's beautiful and love to see it daily! I'm so thankful for the life I've been graced with. It can only be by the grace of God that I've been given everything and everyone that I have. Certainly nothing I've done would or could warrant such favor. Six healthy kids who love Jesus, a husband who support and leads his family in the ways of the Lord and tries to live his life by His standards, and family who is supporting and always there no matter what, a home, a free country, an awesome church, the blessed opportunity to homeschool all my kids...I'm awestruck today and beyond thankful....
