12 Days of Christmas-Linking Up

 I am linking up with Beyond the Picket Fence who is doing a 12 Days of Christmas where you post your decorations for Christmas! I enjoy reading her blog daily, and I know you will too! I feel I have know her forever just reading her blog and keeping up! On Sundays she always post a verse, and weather she reads this or not she has blessed me with those verses! It is amazing how technology can be a blessing when your down, etc. Thank You again for looking and I hope you enjoy my decorations as much as I enjoyed doing them! I will be posting my Christmas Tree soon! It is all in burlap!

Our Wreath, all decorations from Hobby Lobby

Love Deco Mesh!
This was really simple to do!




These are very simple to make and make a room feel very welcoming!

Example of how big it is

Completed with a second one that is smaller, and a grapevine wreath. Burlap ribbon for a bow.


The wreath on the mirror, and pine cones scattered throughout. I bought the pine cones at Wal-Mart. They are cinnamon scented and make the house smell wonderful!

Pretty, and Simple at the same time.

Random decorations throughout the house

Guest bathroom decorations. All these were from Hobby Lobby!

Our son (Batman) wanted his picture taken since I was taking pictures of all the decorations :)

   
He's a sweet boy!

Rachel's Wedding

What a wonderful friend and blessing Rachel has been to our family! Not just Rachel there is Sarah, Courtney, Ronald, Kristen, Paula. Makes me sad that Kristen and Paula does not live close. It was a wonderful time catching up! It brought back memories in high school. Sitting and chatting eating our food like the old days. Rachel has been blessed with a godly hushand named Caleb. I wish them many blessings. I hope this is not the last time we see each other. I hope to see more of these friends! I am trying so hard to convince a few to move to NWA! Love you all, thank you for letting me be help with your wedding!

Sweet Retreat-Prayer Warriors

Sweet Retreat was where only women came, and they had a wonderful lady speaker!

Not only did she speak, but a lot of prayer went up for everyone in that room! It was a blessing to see everyone get a blessing from it!

Before going I had a lot to do for the kids. Picked Sophie up, and came home. I went and checked the mail, and there was a lovely letter from my cancer place. They had scheduled me a CT Scan. Honestly, I get down about CT Scans because I have to drink 16oz. of buttermilk. I would rather get a PET Scan, where they inject an iodine and you sat and then go do your scan.

It is funny I will remember my scan dates like the back of my hand and stress about it till it happens. Once I go in and come, stress is lifted off. But last night I know I shed so many tears there. I was embarrassed I do not like crying in front of people. Tears of joy for being a live, and here on earth.

Must say the lady was funny, and had many uplifting things at the same time! Here are some that really caught my attention: find new friends, forgive but it is not easy to forget how others have mistreated you, your children come first.

Mrs. Pat

Mrs. Pat, an angel in disguise is how I describe her. This morning for some reason I decided to go to McDonalds and let Allie play. Mrs. Pat sat there all alone, she is about 70 years old? Sweetest old lady I have every meet! We sat and talk for over an hour about life, God, and children. She has lived in Bentonville her whole life. Retired nurse, and has two children. She is someone I look up to a lot, and has went through lots of heartache, but so happy through it all!

People like Mrs. Pat who makes my day, and Thank You God for putting her there today! She had the most encouraging, uplifting spirit!

I think we all need a MRS. PAT in our life!

The Bishops - He's In The Midst




A song many people at my home church back in Mansfield Assembly of God sing. This song is special as well. Listen to the words and let God bless you!
