I'm BACK!

Hi all you lovelies!

Sorry it's been SO long since I've potsed!  I've been such a slacker!  However,  I have much to say and show you!!  First and formost...

BABY AHAH IS BORN!!



HOW GREAT THOU ART!

In the midst of the many storms, I WILL NOT forget just how GREAT THOU ART, my Lord!

I Just Couldn't Help Myself!

I have seen this little guy on a poster at the movie theater several times and each time he makes me smile...I don't know why! Ok, so does that make me weird?   Maybe it's the mom in me...my kids say that when I'm really mad, I make these eyes at them. What do you think he's thinking?  Leave me a comment...can't wait to see what you come up with!  We all need a good laugh on Friday's!

I'm Just Sayin'

There Is an Angel in our Midst!

Meet Lyla...my granddaughter!  Could she be any more angelic??  So precious!!

The King's Speech

Dad and I went out on datenight last Thursday...dinner and a movie!  We saw The King's Speech and it was really good.  As we walked out I took out my notebook and jotted down a note to myself (sorry for the blurry pic...you get the idea :)

It's SO simple and yet SO complex!  Why don't we live like we believe God?  Why do we believe that He raised a dead man, made the blind see, walked on water and rose from the grave and yet we don't believe who He says we are??  Satan!  He wants to rob us of our true identity.  If he can convince us that we are not all that God says we are then he renders us ineffective!  Claim who He says you are...daily!  If our KING gave a speech here is what He would tell us to repeat:
