Blurred Lines Or Distinction

A Lady In The Making

 

Dear Ones,

   I would like to share with you a sweet word the Lord spoke to me awhile back. It was in the very early morning, when I was going out to do some morning chores. It was freezing out and I was fully bundled up in old work clothes.  A old work jacket, hat and gloves.  To say the least I looked rather rough and very manly in style.  As I walked across our land to feed the chickens and such, I heard Him say to me (daughter I want you to dress feminine.)

 

   Now, I know my Fathers voice and I know He was not talking about how I was dressed doing my chores. He was referring to dressing for Him each day! Not your normal daily garb!

So, it has been a sweet journey to ask Him each day to dress me. As I prayed and asked Him about this word, I realized that I wore pants almost everyday. Now there was no balance in my wardrobe at all.  For almost ten years I wore nothing but jumpers and skirts. And when I felt a release to wear pants again, I stopped wearing skirts and jumpers all together. See the extreme!

 

   As I prayed I had this picture in my head of men wearing dresses, Wow ,I had it!

Men have pierced ears and wear tight jeans etc. But you usually do not see them wearing a dress.

He has said I am a God of distinction! The lines have been blurred for a very long time.

When you cannot tell whether someone is a man or a woman then the lines have been blurred.

 

   Grace, He extends to us, and we all know it says God looks upon the heart, not the outer appearance.  But, should we all look the same?
 If your heart is not in a ready state, the outer matters not one whip.
 But, please inquire of the Lord if you please Him in your wardrobe!

   No, condemnation to any sister, as I have been in both places! 
 Yet, I can say He is wooing me to a closer and deeper walk.

 To dress with a distinction that I am a woman and will be a representative of

 His creation. And yes, I will still wear pants when it's appropriate and timely.

 

   This world is becoming darker and cold, may we dear women be the soft and sweet in vision.

For God desired and created women to buffet the cold and changing landscape.

 

   Even this picture of this sweet little girl knew she was to be a little lady!

The Domestic Diva...

The Domestic Diva

Whip It, Whip It Good!

All I need is to whip me up an apron,

 Just like the one this diva is wearing.

No, I am not Betty Homemaker...

But I am the keeper of this HOME!

May we not grow weary in doing good.

Some days and seasons may

bring difficult challenges.

But we must draw strength from our Father!

Learn to take pleasure in your daily chores,

and allow yourself the grace to

Take a day off when you're really over burdened.

Sometimes, you just have to keep it simple.

Pamper yourself a wee bit,

Learn ways to refresh yourself.

Do things that bring you life!

Remember YOUR the lady of the house.

Don't be mistaken for the maid.

 Take time to keep yourself looking like a lady

And not the chambermaid.

Blessings To All, Roxy



Golden Farm Fresh Eggs...

Here are a few of my girls

Our Chicken Scratch mixed with corn

Fresh eggs daily

Meet Mr. Rooster

I have been really delighted to be able to have chickens for over
Fifteen years.
 I find it most pleasant to go each day and bring in the bounty
of fresh eggs.

When you have fresh eggs everyday you can  make many wonderful
and  very delicious meals.
We love omelets so we have them often,
I serve them with fresh salsa and cheese.

There are so many delicious
 Variations to add to them, so we never grow tired of them!

The other day I made a custard with the fresh eggs and it was
really yummy!

I also make a lot of quiche, as it is light and very tasty.
I will usually make a cracker crust, so no pie crust to make.

And the eggs for baking, make your recipes very nutritious, and moist.
The yolks are a golden color and very large.
Store bought eggs are very pale in color and have
very little flavor.

Another really good point for me is not having to throw out
Any scraps or leftovers. As the chickens love the treats.
I believe I have the fattest and happiest chickens around!


We are learning each day to be wise and to put back,
Be a (wise woman) and stock your pantry well!

Blessings, Roxy

Cozy And True

A painting made for me!

An amazing dessert!

Tea  Settings to behold!

Can you count your friends as true?

I believe our heavenly Father will ask us one day,
"How did you treat one another?"

I can say from my heart;
it is better to invest now in those who God has
given you!

One day your wee little ones will grow and leave home,
and you will say where did the time go?

A good and dear friend,
as many as your heart can be true too!

I want to honor YOU dear friend:
For you have been true!

A true friend sticks closer then a brother.

Blessings, Roxy

Happy

Happy Days

 

My, things sure have changed around these parts,

or any parts for that matter.

Death and destruction on every front.

BUT

 

We will still see the goodness and sweetness of life:

WHY

Because we look for it!

 

We will look to the things that are good.

 

Whatsoever things are lovely,

And of good report!

 

 

With a heart to please Him, and using the talents and gifts we have been given.

We can make our homes and our communities

more lovely and pleasant. 

 

You dear one can change the atmosphere, with just a kind word,

or  by being a helping hand to someone in need.

 

May we be about our Father's business.

 

Stop and take pleasure in this day,

for it is a gift;

 

Use it wisely!

 

Blessings To All, Roxy

"Why I Blog"

 

I really laughed over this silly picture.  I actually found it on someones blog.

To be a blogger or not is the question.

  We must have this deep sense and longing of being a  part of a bigger picture.

It always seems to be a pulling and a fulfilling feeling, as you push the publish

button.  We really all do have a story.  I like to read the tidbits of a life that is being

lived far away or maybe very close to ones heart.

 

We are a rare and beautiful breed.

We love ,we write, we cry, we sing, we dance,we create,

we live and we die.

This life is but a vapor.

 

May I leave a legacy, not with just written words, but memories,

filled with hope and kindness.

 

I long to be noticed, yet shy away from to much attention.

I desire to laugh long and hard, but not to hurt any ones feelings.

I long to be a gourmet cook, but a grilled cheese is my dinner plan.

I desire to be the perfect wife, yet I was short with him on the phone.

I long to write a book, yet I journal every morning of my private thoughts.

 

May my days be filled with words of highest praise,

to the one, I long to hear Him say:

Well done good and faithful servant!

 

Blessings To You All, Roxy
