"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true whatever things are noble, whatever things are just whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

It's Fall!!!!!
I loveeeeeee this time of the year... It is my most favorite time of the year... The smell in the air, the change of temperature, the change of all the colors of the leaves.. it is just wonderful.. Our church is having a fall theme all month long to center around world missions.. But starting with old fashioned day tomorrow at church there will be different things going on. We went to the church and worked there most of the day to help put up all the decorations.. We hung old quilts up on the walls and had all kinds of other decorations for the sanctuary.. Outside is decorated up so nice as well... The girls and I just had so much fun helping out as we love to decorate.. Alot of work went into it but was so worth it and it turned out just beautiful.. I did not have time to stop and take pictures today but will be taking them tomorrow for sure and will post them.. We are dressing up from the "little house on the prairie" As we are doing a unit study we wanted to just stick with that theme.. A fellow homeschooling friend loaned me 2 dressed her girls had used a few years ago and they are jut adorable.. Shania and I will be dressed up as well..... Will be fun to go to church like they "use"to.. Kelsey I think it was said we needed a horse and buggy..lol I draw the line SOMEWHERE.. rofl.. Have a good evening everyone and a good day in the Lord tomorrow :)

Good Morning
AH... What a beautiful day. Arose at 5am to a calm and peaceful house no one was stirring not even a mouse( wait is that about Christmas?:) Put my pot of TEA on to brew from the tea shop( in phx)mmmm.. Got my prayer journal out and began to just pour out to GOD all the cares of this life and ask to be filled with only HIM.. Met with the MASTER in prayer and began my "homework" from Bible Study.. WOW I serve a BIG GOD.. To know that I am in HIS shadow is just awe strikingly amazing to me... To point out only one thing I learned this morning would be this... No power of darkness or evil( seen or unseen) can touch what the SPIRIT of GOD has control over... WOW... I know that doesn't mean we wont face hard times( just look around) but to know we serve a GOD who created all of this. knew this day and time would come.. knew the trials we would face... loved ME so much that he would send HIS ONLY SON to pay a price I would never have to pay... If that don't make ya want to jump and shout I don't know what will :) These trials are just that.. to TRY us... I just am so filled with thanksgiving in my heart to know that MY REDEEMER lives and has all this "stuff" under control so that THROUGH HIM I can still live a sanctified life!!!! HALLELUJAH!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!
So here I sit, Tea in hand, totally blessed, and ready to face the day!!! Now it is time to awaken my lil precious girls and kick start the day... We are starting a unit study today by Laura Ingalls Wilder.. should be very exciting... The girls LOVE her books and so do I!!! We will learn all about how those pioneers lived and get to make all kinds of interesting things such as... homemade candles, soap, learn to weave, cross stitch, make calico curtains... Make meals from what they ate... just chalked full of all kinds of interesting things.. I for sure will be posting our progress and pictures for everyone to see...
Have an awesome day!!!!!
