Once Upon A Time... A Real Life... Mine...

This is where you will find me most mornings...

I also need a bit more some afternoons;

The Word is like chocolate for me, it is rich and smooth!

It melts my heart and makes me satisfied deep down inside!

Here is;

My BFF...

She was my maid of honor on my renewal of my wedding vows!

She knows a lot about me and she still likes me.

Here is;

My Jewels, she is my long time friend!

My Oldest friend

Just kidding :o)

We always talk about Christ...

Here is;

My Boy Friend...

He asked me if I would marry him and I said NO Three times!

(Really)

So glad he was persistent in pursuing me!

It was the same with Christ in my life...

Married 30 plus years

Sounds like a vitamin ad...

Here is;

This is my back yard view!

I have seen this view almost three decades and it never looks the same!

Constant and unmovable...

Here is;

Loyal Bronco Fans...

Go Broncos!!

Here is:

Waffles From Roxy's Cafe...

Fresh sausage too!

Here is:

My Mississippi Mud Dessert...

I may even share the recipe sometime!

Here is;

Here are my two most favorite perfumes!

White Shoulders and Giorgio...

My Birthday gift last year!

Here is:

Fresh bread and butter and eggs!

My staples in my kitchen...

Here is;

My Girls, Sweet Baby Chicks!

We have fresh eggs daily about a dozen a day.

I just wanted to give you a glimpse of my world and life!

I am a country girl and a lover of Jesus Christ...

I hope you follow my blog knowing that it is a real ministry for me,

To write and encourage you in your journey!

I struggle some days and I am shocked how fast the days go!

I had only one person mentor me while raising my family!

So I take my calling very seriously!

I am very funny, and enjoy a good laugh!

I love like there is no tomorrow!

I cry hard and deep for those things that move me!

My Husband and family our everything to me!

I just want you to know a bit of my heart!

We are not rich in some things;

But we are wealthy in what matters!

If you read or follow this blog, I want to tell you that I care deeply

about you and your walk in this life!

Thank You!

For reading this blog,

For leaving me comments.

For being a part of my life.

Enjoy your Summer; and romance your Hubby!

And allow the Lord to romance you...

Follow The Light...

Follow the light...

Not that light,
 Too many people are following a light that is at the end of a tunnel.

We are called to be the light!!

Big difference,

Do you want to draw closer to your Lord?

Do you want to draw closer to your Husband?

Do you want to be a usable vessel?

Too many are chasing after what will pass away;

The wind is a perfect example of something that is impossible to catch.

Yet, If you harness the wind you will have the power!

There is the hand of God;

Power, miracles, supernatural!

There is the face of God;

Relationship, intimacy, peace.

I want both in my walk and life with the Lord!

But sometimes we need to look at what is all being used to draw

Us with this power...

There has been so many movements in our world today.

Many focus on what is just what you can get and have.

The true hand of God can and will supply and provide;

Power, miracles, supernatural!

Do not ever forget what He has done for His people.

But the Face of God is what will sustain you!!

His WORD and PRESENCE;

These things will not ever leave you dry!

I believe we are seeing a famine of the WORD Of God in this country!

And the Churches only give a very small portion;

So if you are not FEEDING on the WORD;

And know how to feed yourself;

You will starve...

Thus says the Lord,

 Who makes a way in the sea. And a path through the mighty waters.

Isaiah 43:16

The sun shall no longer be your light by day. Nor for brightness

Shall the moon  give light to you;

But the Lord (The Word) will be to you...

And everlasting light.

And your God your glory.

Isaiah 60:19

The WORD is the only thing that is a true light; The SON

The WORD is the only thing that will satisfy your hunger. The Meat

The WORD is the only thing that will not pass away. Everlasting

Eat and drink of the WORD!

As for many low fat diets are being served!

People our starving!!

Do you know what Expository preaching  and teaching is?

Don't Live In Monotone...

 

Can you hear the music...

Music is all around you,

 I can hear the fluttering of a moth's wing.

I hear the laughing of the boys in the yard playing.

I can hear the crickets chirping in the night.

I can hear the bird singing and chatting away.

The humming of the appliances in the quiet night!

The chimes on the clock say it is now ten o'clock

Another day has come and gone;

May I lay still in my bed and hear my heart beating!

Take no one for granted and expect this time as owed to you!

Time is a gift and you must listen to the music that is playing.

Each note carries a special tune;

Each one carries a high and a low.

No life should be lived in monotone...

Honor And Integrity...

Boys...

How to raise a boy is a very good question!

We need to allow our boys to practice being strong!

We need our boys to be strong in their bodies and their minds.

Our boys need to play in the dirt and run and to throw balls far and high!

They need to camp and catch fish and to learn how to hunt!

They need to be able to fix things!

They need to learn to fight a fair fight!

Help them to learn to enjoy reading a good book on journeys,

And tales of adventure!

Teach them to be honest and to keep their word!

Teach them to pray and to ask God for wisdom and knowledge.

Help them to become a Man of HONOR AND INTEGRITY...

Why is this important?

Because we need a few good men...

May we be able to count on the future boys from this generation...

Will they be able to lead?

Will they be able to read?

Will they be able to learn and to follow a command?

Will they stand and not run from commitment?

"Not all Boys turn into Men..."

Lovely And Wind Swept...

Lovely and wind swept...

A Lady of soft and flowing coverings.

Why do women say they feel more comfortable in pants?

We wear pants and capri's like we do not even own a skirt anymore!

I guess I am getting sad and sentimental over women;

Not wanting or desiring to look soft and flowing

 Like a lady of yesterday!

I am not leaning into some legalistic debate here!

Just wondering why we can so easily slip into pants and shorts.

But not find it as easily to wear skirts!

I have heard some ladies say it is the shoes to wear with the

Skirts that are the problem.

I think we just are not in the habit of wearing skirts;

So we just throw on our pants or slacks or capris'.

Good for the day...

Taking no thought to if we look soft and pretty!

I know of some ladies I have never seen them in a skirt!

NEVER...

I just think we can wear a skirt often enough to change are wardrobe habits!

So have you ever seen a Bride walking down the aisle with pants on?

Or have you ever heard the saying; who wears the pants in the family?

Now, Don't get all gritchity with me here!

I do wear Capri's and jeans, 

Just not every single day...

I wear an apron every time I cook or mostly all day over what I have on!

When I am asked to speak, I wear a skirt.

When I go to a wedding I really dress up!

When I work in the yard, I wear work clothes!

All I am saying is this;

ONLY WOMEN WHERE SKIRTS IN AMERICA

(At least for now till a new style comes in)

REALLY that could happen as we are so uni- sexed in how we look!

Just saying...

From glory to glory,

Who's A Daddy...

Who's a Daddy...

Any man can be a Father;

But it takes a special man to be a Daddy!

There is nothing more safe then to be in a Daddy's heart!

We have so many wonderful Daddys out there...

High Five...

To guys that stuck it out and turned into real men when the pressure came!

It is no difference to anyone of us as to how the diamond

came into being, we just love the strength and worth that it holds.

I have seen many a guy run from his family.

I have seen many a guy be run off by a woman who was afraid.

I have heard of many a guy that knew no respect or honor!

A guy is just a boy trying to find his way;

For many had no examples of how a Daddy prays.

Many a boy was left to his own,

His eyes were poisoned from things not meant for his life.

Many a man is broken and in jail;

A physical jail and one of his own mind.

A man who has no heart so it seems;

Really deep down he has a

Brave Heart!

He has been told we don't need him we can do it on our own...

He is alone in the world!

I ask for the guy and the little boy to give us another chance;

We really do not want to raise our children alone.

We need our Daddy's to love and care for us again!

Only, Men can really lead...

But wait;

Have women stopped knowing how to follow?

Thank you Daddy's all over the world!

May we make a place for Daddy's to reign!

The Father has created Men to lead, guide and protect!

The world teaches Men to self preserve and to do what feels good!

What we really need is for the true scripture and the word to be taught again!

We have been told children do not need both parents!

And we have told the children we don't want you!

And you wonder why the family has almost disappeared??

Only For A Season...

 Some things are only for a season...

Some things are for a life time...

We must have the discernment to be able to distinguish between

the two of them.

Even in nature, we can see that Spring is coming when we see a little crocus popping

 its head above the cold hard ground.

Then we can trust that the next thing will come;

Then we can watch the lilac bushes start to fill out,

And alas the lilacs fill the entire area with a thick

and heady aroma!

I ran out just before a very hard wind storm hit and cut off a full,

a lovely lilac blossom. I brought it in and put it in water.

Then I could just smell the scent fill the whole room.

In a few days all the lilacs were gone off the bushes.

The season to enjoy them was now over.

I am learning to know that some things are for only a season!

Flowers

Friendships

Schooling

Churches

Homes

We must be careful to be willing to make a change!

Some things last our whole lives;

Marriages

Children

Love

I am homesick for my eternal home!

For I have a better country awaiting me!

Do not become stuck!

Learn to flow and grow as He directs!

Keeping Your Passwords Safe...

Passwords...

Okay, What are the magic words?

Please and Thank You!

Right...

What is your password for all your log in accounts?

Wait a minute, I can't tell you those...

They're a secret!

Correct...

You girls are so smart!

Let's give everyone an award for just trying!

Really??

No...

If we want to be a cut above the rest we need to put a little effort into

whatever we are doing. Don't worry, I just throw this together!

I have been really thinking we need to take the next step.

To ensure a spirit of excellence!

The comeback of I forgot is getting old!

Coming from a five year old is partially acceptable.

Remember when you saw Men with a shirt with a pocket and it

held a pen and a little notebook or pad!

We have smart phones ect. And we can hardly remember anything!

So here are some tips for remembering things!

Write it down

Keep a journal

Have a weekly planner.

Use a calendar and write in the dates!

Tape a note to a spot you see all the time.

Remember your Mother telling you if your head wasn't attached

You would forget that too!

The point of this post is this;

I forgot is not a responsible answer!

I have learned the hard way; we need a support method for trying

to remember all we have to do and using passwords.

Have you noticed we are security crazy?

Everything needs a password!!

Mine is incorrect....
