{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

{Calgon take me away}

Have you ever just had one of those moments when your schedule is full, the busyness of life seems to be at full speed ahead, your mind is going in a thousand different directions, your heart is filled to the brim with words but yet no words come and you murmur the words "Calgon take me away".....  

 Web image

(Newsflash...they lied on that commercial)    I know because I've tried it!  

For me when those moments, sometimes days...come upon me I know that I must carve out some time to be alone, to tune out the world, and to listen! I listen to myself! YES, I talk to myself....now that I have admitted that I feel better! Sometimes I answer myself because at least I hear what I want too! Anyone else willing to admit that you have the same problem?????

A lot of times I grab a cup of coffee and I begin to doodle....and I'm not a good doodler! NO ART LESSONS FROM ME!


 But most oftentimes I go to the Word of God. It's there that I find comfort. It's there that I find peace. It's there that I find strength. It's there that I find the answer to my questions.

And sometimes...I just simply write....Sometimes I don't know why I write...or whom I am writing to or for...but I write....


But it's then that I see the handiwork of God flowing in my life to the depths of my heart and maybe to yours! 


Hugs and Blessings, Cindy

    Beautiful prayer my sweet friend and oh the darkness is working over time in our precious world. Some of my best prayer, meditation and thinking time is when I walk. I walk and talk and talk. I talk to the Lord, my Mother in heaven, myself and to the sky. I know that my prayers are heard and when I return home, my heart is lighter.
    Thank you for inspiring me through the word of God, my dear friend.

    Oh, yes, dear Cindy. I talk to myself too at times! At least I've met one other fellow sufferer! LOL Lately I've had a hard time being still long enough to sit and read my Bible. My attention span lately has been the size of a knat. The busnyness of life can sure get to us! Have a blessed day.

    When we are restless, yes we should go to God. And I think that when you/we are talking out loud or in our mind, we are talking to God. Keep talking, it's good for the soul.

    Whew, this post reflects my life these days! I have so much on my plate I often feel overwhelmed but my daily devotionals help keep me going on as well as keeping a list. The list gives me a plan and my devotion time helps to keep everything in the Right perspective. Thanks for this post! Good to know I'm not alone!! Have a great weekend, Sweet Cindy!

    Thanks for this post. So true.
    I talk out loud sometimes to keep things straight. I think the enemy enjoys thought fragments that keep us frustrated and spinning our wheels instead of accomplishing a complete task.
    You are a sweet encourager and example.

    I really need to take more time to pray and journal. I have been overwhelmed lately and that is the first thing that falls off of my list, yet it's probably the most important one...keeps me grounded. Thanks for the reminder.

      Thanks Kim for stopping by. I just read recently that sometimes we lack in our prayer life because it seems to be another thing on our to do (as bad as that sounds). But the truth is...our to-do lists wouldn't be so daunting at times if we had of prayed first.

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

{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

{May Blessings Photo Dump}

June has crept upon us it seems. Y'all, it's six months until Christmas! LOL!  Wanted to share a few of my May blessings.  We have been blessed with fresh potatoes. We've been able to share some with others and still have plenty. My cucumbers, okra and orange tree was destroyed in the tornado that we took a hit from but what a blessing that we pulled the potatoes before the tornado.  Speaking of tornado it's been a job cleaning up the aftermath. God spared our home and us as we were home. Marty and I heard the sound of the tornado and retrieved to our bathtub for safety. The affects surely done a number on our barn, my shed, a pull trailer and oh our property was in a mess. Huge OLD trees gone! Such a mess but we are beginning to see the light at the end of tunnel with the cleanup. We have been so blessed with our children and friends that have come to help us. God surely had a hedge of protection around us.  Our oldest granddaughter Raygen graduation from College as Su
