{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

Wednesday in the Word-Praying for your Adult children



Years ago I read the book by Cherie Fuller, "When Mother's Pray" and it made such an impact on my life with praying for my children. One of the things she said in her book that made a loud statement to me was this, "If we aren't praying for our children then who is? With that being said a group of ladies decided to be a part of the Moms In Touch Group and for 3 years we had 13 groups with each group consisting of 4 moms each and we met on Wednesday afternoons before our Bible Study class for one hour to pray for our children. NEVER has anything made such an impact on me. To this day the 4 of us that was in that group together have a special bond concerning our children.

Recently I purchased the book and workbook by Stormie Omartian called, "The Power of Praying for Your Adult Children". I began reading the book and could not put it down. I've read the Power of Praying for your children, the Power of praying for your husband and several other books that she has written. I truly enjoy her down to earth yet filled with scripture approach. I would love to teach this study as a class one day.

At the very beginning of her book she points out 7 things that we as parents of adult children MUST KNOW.

1: You need to know it never ends 
(once a parent, always a  parent)

2: You need to know that YOU can't fix them!

3: You need to know that God can change Everything.

4: You need to know you must quit blaming yourself!

5: You need to know you have to forgive.

6: You need to know there is Only ONE perfect parent.

7: You need to know you can wholeheartedly say, "For this Adult child I have prayed". 

 (Christian Book Dist)

 I thought again about the words from Cheri Fuller from her book, When Mother's Pray; "If we aren't praying for our children then who is? I thought of this is terms of our adult children too. Though I would love to think that many are praying for my adult children and I do know that they will pray for them If needed but truly, "WHO is praying for my adult children on a regular basis? ME!

I urge you to purchase the book and the work book. I am truly enjoying the light that Stormie is shedding as I read her book.

Have you prayed for your Adult child today?

"All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children".
 Isaiah 54:13

  1. Thank you for posting this, Cindy! I do pray several times a day for our two adult children. They have been blessed in their lives but, no matter how old they are, you always worry about them. It's so comforting to know
    that God hears our prayers and is always with them!

  3. Oh my, Cindy! This really speaks to my heart today. I don't say much about my son but he is disabled - agoraphobia and panic attacks. He never leaves his home. He has a wonderful wife who loves him and takes care of him. But sometimes I run out of words as to what to pray for him so I just have to know the Holy Spirit prays for me. You're such a blessing.

  6. Great post Cindy. I do pray for my adult children. It is the one thing that can calm my heart when I know they are struggling with issues. I also remember to thank God that they know Him and turn to Him to light their path.

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...

{March Is Underway}

  Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL!  We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun. The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!! Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL!  We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said! I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!...

{It's Been A Hot Minute Y'all}

  Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too.  Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway.  We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20.  We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
