{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...

Let's Talk Thursday-Part 2

I should have named this post "2nd round of questions and answers". But it's so fun to do this with bloggers as it gives us a way to get to know one another better doesn't it? If you missed my first round of questions see post http://creationsbycindyphotography.blogspot.com/2014/05/talk-to-me-thursday.html

So let's get started....

Have you always had short hair?

No. Actually I had long hair for a long time. Matter of fact at one point it was almost down to my behind! But as I begin to cut it I kept getting shorter and shorter! NOW, I love my maintenance free short hair to be honest!




Do you really wear makeup and jewelry when deer hunting with your husband?

YES! You never know who might be looking at you! AND....If I get me a big old Buck I gotta look for my picture now don't I?

I even have some bling on my boots!


And a camo tube of lipstick!


Would you rather watch television or read in your spare time?

I would rather read. I would be willing to say that I probably watch no more than 4 hours of television a week and that is stretching it. I am just not your average television person. It has to be a really good show or movie. When I do have the time my favorite thing to watch is the cooking shows (Rachel Ray my fav) or NCIS...YEP...a Gibbs fan! When I am not teaching in depth Bible Study classes is when I really like to READ! Right now I am reading "The Power of Praying for your Adult Children" and have two others waiting on me! Love to read!



Would you consider yourself to be more laid back or somewhat hyper? LOL! I tend to be HYPER there is no doubt. However, age has a way of slapping the hyper right out of ya!

Is there a state or country that you would like to visit? 

There's quite a few places I'd like to go to be honest. But I am a TRUE Homebody at heart. About 3-5 days of being gone is good for me and I began to long for my BED! There is no place like home. But in answer to the question, yes, I would love to go to Hawaii one day.

Is there something that truly gets under your skin? Give answer to the first thing that comes to mind.

Ooh....I didn't have to think about this one long at all. In all honesty the one thing that tends to get under my skin is when I see, hear and sense people being selfish. I don't mean necessarily with money or gifts but I am just talking about being PURE out ALL ABOUT THEMSELVES!

The dictionary defines selfishness as:
self·ish
devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, etc., regardless of others.
characterized by or manifesting concern or care only for oneself: selfish motives.

Since you have taught women in a Bible Study setting for years what is the one thing that you see many women struggle with?

In all honesty, I see women struggle with being who God created them to be. So many women tend to compare themselves to others and their measuring stick is based on someone else. In essence if we want to compare ourselves to anyone it needs to be Christ. Our goal as Christians should be to become more Christ-like daily and not more like so and so. We should have a desire to mimic others with the good qualities of the Christian life for sure. But we cannot be another person!
Women...with all our flaws and failures....was created by God Himself. We are to simply be ourselves.

  3. Hi Cindy!
    Well, I just totally enjoyed myself with this post! I love to hear more about other bloggers. I too, love your camo bling. But, I really loved your answer to the last question. I know I have fallen into that category of 'comparing" myself to other women. thinking I should be like them. That is when I have to step back and regain a perspective of who I truly am.
    I hope you have a wonderful day! Hugs, Diann :)

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...

{SON-Flowers}

Don't you just love sunflowers? When I think about sunflowers I think of two things. My motherinlove who loved sunflowers and Fall. I came across a devotional written by Julia Bettencourt on sunflowers and thought it so appropriate for today as I wanted to share my sunflowers with you. Here's a few lessons we can learn from the sunflower.    Sunflowers Track The Sun.   Most plants are attracted to light but the flowering head of the sunflower actually tracks the sun following it's path and moving toward where it is in the sky all during the day. I read somewhere that sunflowers track the sun when they are in bud stage. Isn't that how it usually goes for us as Christians? When we first come to know the Lord, we get excited about knowing all about Him and living for Him, but after awhile we sometimes grow a little preoccupied with other things and get our eyes off of the Lord.   Wouldn't it be great if as a Christian we'd track th...
