{March is well under way}

February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in.   I finally purchased a new monthly focus board.  We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good!   My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy!  My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just

WEDNESDAY IN THE WORD-ENOUGH LIGHT

I have been re-reading "Just enough LIGHT for the Step I'm on" by Stormie Omartin. I was given this book in 2000 and have underlined, highlighted and even made notes on some of the pages. As I began reading it again I was inspired at how God has carried me through some times in my life that seemed to be dark


I can remember so vividly a time in my life that I truly wondered if the sun would ever shine again. Oh did the SON ever shine but there was days I couldn't see it because I wasn't looking! We get so caught up in being distraught, angry, sad, and even depressed that we forget that what we going through or dealing with has a much larger picture than we see.God sees the big picture but all we see is the little picture. 

Sometimes we just have to find a different way to view out situation! I realized that when I was able to see things from God's perspective I was able to find the light even in the midst of darkness. 



 One of the things that Stormie said in her book and I had made a note beside her quotation that simply said AMEN was this. "God is in the middle of doing something great for us and, because we are not as comfortable as we'd like to be, we don't recognize the good things He has put in our lap". 

This has proven to be true over and over again in my life! May we try to look through the lens of God's eyes so we can see the light. 


 Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  1. I have to admit the light here is dim..

    my anxiety attacks and this depression have had so strong a hold on me I had to see mental and physical health doctors..

    please Cindy, if you have a prayer list, put me on it. This dark tunnel is a scary place and I want so much to be back in the light.

  2. I just finished up my devotional....I think (prayers, please) and it was based on the last few years of struggles. When we come out on the other end, we see how God held us the entire time!!! Thanks for a confirmation and affirmation!!!

  3. Oh I needed this today. Have been battling with just the ups and downs of daily life and trying to pray through each day. It is not that things are BAD per say...There is always the light at the end of the tunnel. However, sometimes, even through prayer, spending time in His Word, I still have a hard time seeing the light. God does always bring me through and that is what I count on. Just being honest.

  4. True words, my Friend. When we're uncomfortable, our focus shifts like a laser to making ourselves comfortable again. But in that laser focus, we miss seeing (and experiencing) the blessings God continues to pour over us. Thanks for this wonderful word today!

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a yard

{Another Fun Filled Weekend}

I hope you all are doing well. I am trying to wind down for the night and thought I would try and get a post out. Girls, by this time I am in my fat clothes and recliner smashing that remote control!   Marty and I kicked off our weekend by having a little fun food as I call it,  "charcuterie" style out by the pond. Of course I always fix more than we need or eat but it sure was good.  Two of our granddaughters had dance recitals over the weekend so we got to watch them perform and oh my! They were just the cutest things ever.  We were blessed to be able to see them perform. Then we celebrated a birthday for this sweet grandgirl! She was excited about being double digits . And besides all the fun from the weekend I was able to see some of my pretties in bloom.  Now to enjoy a cup of coffee.... I hope that you all have a wonderful, blessed week.  Hugs and blessings, Cindy

{Happy 46th Wedding Anniversary To Us}

  Happy October everyone! I wanted to pop in today and share a few pictures. Marty and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary on September 23.  Oh it seems so long ago that we said "I Do". We started dating when I was 16. Married at 18 and began a family at 20. Needless to say we have surely grown up together. Praise the Lord that we are growing "Older" together.  We decided since it had been about 8-9 years since we had been to Savannah, Ga. that we would take a weekend there and just enjoy a scenic luncheon cruise.  We enjoyed walking River street and sightseeing, shopping and eating of course! It was a nice get away and perfect for us as we are simply two imperfect people that fit perfectly together.  I did spot Santa while in Savannah though! YES, I love Christmas so I had to stop at several Christmas shops! We've had outings that have kept us quite busy and we have surely been blessed to be able to attend our grands functions and our little outings toget
