Prayer today

Good morning I hope everyone is having a great morning so far.  I just wanted to come back since I have neglected writing for a bit and share another prayer.  Enjoy

Thank You, heavenly Father, for being a good God and doing good things for us, to us, and in us.  I thank You that You are good my children and Your eye is on every detail of their lives.  Thank You that no one can ever be as good to the as You are!  Keep my children in the center of Your love and Your designed purpose, assuring them that You are working all things together for the good, and fitting them into your good plan for their lives.
May the goodness of Your light shine on them; may the goodness of Your grace be with them; may the goodness of Your love be in them.  Through Your goodness give them; the hugs of Your mercies; the warmth of Your nearness; the delights of Your fellowship; the joys of Your friendship; the peace of Your presence; the rest of Your comfort; the favor of Your smile.
I like this one a lot and hope you do as well.  Have a blessed day!

Spiritual Blessings

Happy Monday.  I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine went way too fast and I am not ready for this work day.   Here is today's Prayer.  Enjoy and have a blessed week.

Father, how gracious You are; how blessed I am ; how rich is my portion; how full is my cup!  You are the perfect Father-Loving, caring, providing, giving, sheltering-making a safe place, a restful place, a thriving place for my children and me to come to and abide in.  Thank You that the best place, the highest place, and the securest place for us to be is in Jesus Christ.
Bless my children with every spiritual blessing that You have made available through a relationship with Your Son.  May Your life be in them, may Your hand be on them, may Your favor be with them.  Work in them and through them.
Give them quiet hearts that trust in You; humble hearts that depend on You; grateful hearts that receive from You; joyful hearts that worship You; true hearts that honor You; giving heart that express You; pure hearts that glorify You; obedient hearts that please You.

Your Hand upon them

Good morning and Happy Monday.  I hope everyone had a great weekend, it was good for us but super busy as always.  Well I didn't get to post the prayers this weekend so today I will post # 3.  Hope you enjoy and have a blessed day!

Your Hand Upon them

Jesus, thank You that I have the wonderful privilege of bringing my children to You in prayer.  It means so much to know that each child means so much to You and that You listen to my prayers. Thank You that You do not push my children away from You or keep them at a distance.  I am so grateful that You welcome them with outstretched arms; that You embrace them with a full heart of compassion; that You receive them and dram then close to You.
Place Your hand upon my children's heads, I ask that You would bless them with the richest of blessings of Your hidden treasures.  Touch their lives, Jesus, warm their hears, fill their lives, make them whole, keep them strong.  Teach them Your ways and reveal to them the greatness of Your kingdom,  the meekness of Your spirit, and the beauty of your ways.  May they learn to come to You with every need they have and receive from You every provision that You alone can give.

God Bless

Blessing and Gratitude



Good Morning everyone.  Today is day 2 of the Prayers for your children, hope you enjoy.  Have a great day!

Heavenly Father, my prayer to You today is of thanksgiving, gratitude, and praise.  Thank You so much for Your favor and marvelous generosity to my family and me.  Every good and perfect gift truly comes directly from Your hand to us through Your giving heart of kindness and love.
I cannot begin to express to You how greatly blessed and grateful I am for the gift of my children.  I do, with all of my heart, receive each life that has come into our family as Your beautiful gift.  I cannot find words to thank You enough.
My children are a testimony of Your grace, a proclamation of Your wisdom, a revelation of Your workmanship, a demonstration of the creative work of Your hands.  Thank You that You have given them to me as your heritage-to know, to enjoy, to love, to care for, to celebrate, to delight in, and to raise so that they too may know You as the greatest heritage of all.

Prayers to pray over your Children



Good Morning, I hope everyone is having a great week so far.  I have had this on my heart for a while to share a daily Prayer for our Children.  I was at the local Christian book store this past weekend and stumbled upon the perfect book.  It is 60 Promises to Pray over your Children by Roy Lessin.  As I have gone through it the prayers are amazing and I just couldn't keep them to myself.  I hope you enjoy these and can use them in your daily life with your children. God Bless

Day 1
Lord, by Your grace, Your power, and Your love, you have lifted the clouds of doom from our household. Thank you for the promise that my children do not face a hopeless, worthless, or meaningless future.  You have assured me that my children have not been brought into this world for destruction, but for redemption; not for panic , but for peace; not for emptiness, but completeness; not for frustration, but for glorification of Your name.  Thank you for the promise that my children are "blessed by the Lord."
Because we belong to You, You have saved us from emptiness-from a life of empty words, empty promises, empty desires, empty thoughts, empty goals, empty work, and empty choices.  Thank You for freeing us, as a family, from empty relationships with each other.
Thank You, Father, for the blessings You have extended to my family.  My children will never face a moment in life when it is not true that they are blessed of the Lord.  I pray that regardless of their circumstances, You will help them to always recognise and understand how blessed they are.  And for all the blessings, I thank You.

I hope everyone enjoys this and will find them helpful in the everyday raising of your own children.

Whooo are you?

If you havent' been to Night Owl Crafting you should she has some fun link ups like this one.

Night Owl Crafting

1. Do you type on a keyboard the correct way or do you peck like a cute little chick?

I actually know how to type. I do need to peak every once in a while, but do pretty well for the most part.

2. Typically how long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

45 Minutes Wish It were less but Hey a girl has to look Purdy!
3. Do you prefer lip gloss or lipstick?

Lip Glass of course ( Gotta have the SHINE)

4. Do you take clothes to the dry cleaner or wash them yourself even if they say dry clean only?

Umm I don't own many things that are dry clean only.  But If I do stumble upon something that is dry clean I always take my chances and try it in the wash..:)
5. Do you prefer Wal Mart or Target.

TARGET for sure, but unfortunately I live in a small town and I only have a stinkin Walmart, of which I have boycotted many many times...

As I was looking around today I found a great Great idea over at  Myrepurposedlife.  I will definately be adding this to my never ending craft list. 

Rough day

As I look around our community I see so many lives being destroyed by drugs.  It breaks my heart to see people that I went to school with who have lost everything because of the wrong choices.  Don't get me wrong we all make bad choices sometimes, but there comes a time when you need to step back and take a look at the situation.  Do something about it!
  While talking to friends we found out that Kentucky is one of the worst states for drugs and wow that really hits home.  It makes me ponder on so many things.  The town we live in is a very small town but big enough for 2 high schools, 2 middle schools and 3 elementary schools.  So not too small but smaller than a lot. 
So I think to myself, should I try to encourage my husband to move, or persuade him to let us home school, anything to protect my children.  He is completely against home schooling because of social issues and he thinks we would be sheltering them too much.  Would I be sheltering them or simply protecting them? 
My children are small so we aren't experiencing the middle school, high school stuff yet, but this day and age they are starting a lot younger.  I hope and pray that what I teach them at home will stick with them, and when I am harsh, or firm in what I say that they know it is because I love them and I am only trying to protect them.

So I will continue to try and find rest in knowing that they are surrounded by God's grace and love.

Fall is in the Works

Fall is my absolute Favorite time of year. The smell, the leaves all over, all the beautiful colors, and most of all the weather. Being able to go with my family to the pumpkin patch and pick out pumpkins(love this). The nights outside with friends and of course carving the pumpkins, who doesn't love this. ha It's not too hot and not too cool, it's just right .. I love to look around at all the things, and think of how awesome it is to have a God that created it all. These things were made for us. Sometimes I think we all fall short, and do not give him the glory and praise for the things he has created. We take for granted what we have. So today I am giving Thanks to him for all I have, and of course FALL!

Hope everyone has a great day and God bless. Don't forget to just say Thank you

Rambling!

So I have been MIA for a while. It's becoming that time of year when everything starts.
Things have not been so good for the hubs tho, he just moved into a new apartment at school last Sunday, on Wednesday I get a call saying that someone had broken into it. They stole his TV, His roommate's TV, xbox and some other small things. FUN FUN

This past weekend was really interesting. I had a supper fun TUPPERWARE party..BAHA Yea They really do still sell it. It was so exciting, cant you just tell I was thrilled..haha It was actually very nice to have all my friends together and enjoy time with them, since we don't get to see each other as much as we would like. We had a yard full of kids running around so that was fun too.

Saturday we didn't do much during the day besides hang around the house and clean up from the festivities from the night before. THEN.... I had 2 extra kids come and spend the night.. WHOA what was I thinking. It was rather crazy but nice for the kids to have someone to play with besides each other.

Today my baby girl woke up at 530 with a stomach bug..YUCK! Poor thing she was so sick. She is fine now, thank goodness.

I hope everyone has a great week and I will try to add some pictures of my new fond hobby of bow making.
God Bless and enjoy your week..

What a week

Well this week has been one crazy week. I was so excited to have the hubby come home for his spring break and of course I get sick. Saturday it started with the stomach bug, then woke up Monday sore throat, Tuesday congestion, fever cough, UGH.. Thankfully I work at a Doctors office so I was right on getting meds to try and nip all this in the bud. Come to find out I had an ear infection and bronchitis. YUCK! Feeling better now and Praying that this weekend with the family is much better than the week has been.

On another note: I am so anxious to get the ball rolling in preparation for a weekly craft night. I have so many talented friends and family and can't wait to see what ideas they have in store. To look on here and see all the ideas the people have inspires me to want to venture out and try more things.

I hope everyone had a great week and enjoy our weekend. God Bless

Nurture our Daughters! (Children)

Recently I started attending a Life Group through our church on Wednesday Nights. we are reading and studying Nurture By Lisa Bevere. This book is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who is a mother, sister or grandmother. It has helped me to realize that I was lacking or not even lacking but maybe not giving enough nurture to the ones around me.

Lisa Talks about how women are so hateful and rude and not willing to help other women these days. If you think about it; it's true and very sad. A lot of people dont realize that even just a smile could brighten someones day. You never know what they are going through or what they have been through, so that smile could just bring them back up to where they need to be.

In reading and studying this book, I feel that I have been able to make a better connection with my daughter, mother and sisters. I remember when I was little my mom was a stay at home mom, she always had a hot breakfast on the table when we got up and a snack when we got home. Times have changed and now most people dont even have time to sit down and have dinner. Is it really that they dont have time or is it that they are so worried about what needs to be done to worry about what "Really needs to be done"?

Our young daughters are suffering because of the lack of nurture that they are given.

~~Something to think about~~
Far too many women are disconnected and isolated. Othes want desperately to connevt but just dont know how to see this happen, It may be awkward at first, but it must start somewhere. The mothers need to watch for daughters and the daughters for mother, and when they recognize eachother they need to take the time to make a God-breathed connection-at whatever level or opportunity it presents itself..-Lisa Bevere

How much better!

I was sitting at work today and realized how much better things are in my life. A year ago I was just beginning to find my faith again and things were looking good. Since then my life has been so blessed with many things. I dont mean material things I just mean my outlook on things. I look outside and see things differently tahn before, the time I get with my family and friends I cherish that more than before. My marriage was on the rocks for years and for once it seems to be on the way to where I want it to be. I am so thankful for what God has done in my life and what he continues to do everyday.

Yesterday my mom had a hysterectomy, as I was getting out of the car there was a song that came on the radio called "Safe in His arms". It is so amazing that God just knows when you need to hear those words of encouragement. Everything went well with the surgery and she should be out of the hospital tomorrow.

Thank God for his love and mercy on my family.

I have so many friends that are going through rough times right now and I want to just pick them up and hug them so tight. I cant stand to see my friends hurt it kills me.... UGH!!!

Anyway on a different note. I have been looking through so many of the blogs and have found a bunch of ideas for things that I want to do around my house. You people are so talented.. I cant wait to try some of the things that I have seen. Have a blessed day~!

Just starting

Well I am very new to all this, but i have read a few blogs and I think to my self, self... you can do this..So im really excited to get OBSESSED!
