{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

Did you know that according to the Gallup poll, most women are worried about time, family, health and money? Mercy in the economy that we are living in how can we not? RIGHT? I taught a Bible study on 2007 called "Living Above Worry and Stress" (a women of faith series) I must have NEEDED it again as I taught it again in 2011!   I've always heard that 90% of what we worry about never comes to pass. That may be very true but I think the root of our problem is TRUSTING GOD!  I have found myself saying yes Lord, I trust you in all things! BUT DO I REALLY? As women we are just known for "fixing" things aren't we?   Whether it be a child's knee, a relationship, or the outcome of a medical test...we want to fix it ! But here is the real deal of things...until we decide that WE are going to ALLOW GOD to be in control and do as HE WILLS we will never have a PEACE.  John 14:27 says " Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as ...

TUESDAY TOOTS

It is Time to Toot again! Ooh got some tooting to do too! Just got to toot a little about my friend Vicky. She is so talented and gifted in many ways.  Her special gift is her friendship to me.... She just recently made some adorable wreaths. She saw one on Pinterest which just so happen to be one that Yvonne from Stone Gable made...which was so pretty...take a look. http://stonegable.blogspot.com/2012/03/forsythia-wreath-tutorial.html?showComment=1332854956052#c2089704685660906220 Vicky really liked it so here is her version (Yvonne will be proud) She made this wreath to place on the grave of her daughter Shelby for Easter. Soooo pretty! Then another one for her Uncle.... I think it would be safe to say the WOMAN can make her a wreath! Ooh and look at this darling dress she made for her niece. Love the colors.   Wished I was big small enough I'd borrow it!!!!  Oh, I won a book! It pays to blog girls! Won this book from A Season For All Things... htt...

WEDNESDAY IN THE WORD

Want your cake and eat it too? I am sure you've had that questioned asked before unh?  Cake made by my Sisterinlaw Shirley. Most of us are like that at times aren't we? We want a nice home but we hate to pay property tax. We really like the idea of driving a nice vehicle but we don't want the car payment. We want all the pretty knick knacks for our home but we don't want to dust them. We just can't decide what side of the fence we want to be on! My Dr. recently told me something along these lines..."Mrs. Conner, when we're in our 20's and even 30's we can "shuffle the cards" up and pretty much let them fall where they may and get by with it but when get in our 40's and 50's that deck isn't "just" going to fall...it's going to crash if we're not careful".  That was his way of saying, "You can't eat like you used too and expect to gain no weight. You can't exercise and expect to have ene...
