Happy Birthday!

Today is my husband's birthday. The big 49! (opps! 29 as he would say) So Happy Birthday my best friend.
Anyway, I just thought I would make a few changes to my blog. I decided to change the name. I felt that this is a more meaningful title to describe with what is going on in my family life.
Well, it's getting late and I have to get some rest
till next time. God Bless.

God's talent in people

I have found this pictures which I think are so neat. God has given each one of us gifts and to see those gifts used is truly amazing. My son has a beautiful talent in turning a piece of canvas into something beautiful.

I like the rough sketch not much detail. Just a
quick pencil drawing.

Then the beauty of color just makes this
painting come alive.

God's gifts are awesome!

What an amazing God

I have to say that for the last weeks I have been stressed out. I dislike feeling this way because I am such a happy person. Even though I pray and tell God to handle all my situations I just keep taking them back like I can really fix them myself (insert laughing part here).
I have to write this beautiful feeling that I felt just a few days ago.
I love my friends, they are a big blessing to me in my heart. I know I can go over and just let it all out and even though I am not asking for them to fix anything, their advice and prayers is just what I am looking for. They prayed over us before we left to go home and even though I didn't mean to ruin their vacation time with whinning stories it didn't matter to them.(at least they didn't say)
That night I still wrestled with my sleeping problem which is not being able to sleep. It was very late and with lots of tossing and turning I felt like someone had tapped my shoulder, I really can't explain the feeling of it but it felt like a tap or pressure on my shoulder. I turned around thinking it was my husband who was probably nudging me to get to sleep, but when I turned around he was fast asleep.
After that, I fell right to sleep and haven't slept that good in a while.
Was it my imagination, was I dreaming, or maybe simply it was Angel of God telling me to stop my worrying and rest and He is in control. These last few days actually have been just amazing, we sold the item we had for just about exactly what we had wanted. For the other situation, is truly amazing what is happening and if all goes well we might be looking towards some breathing room.
I have to say I am on my knees asking God for forgiveness in trying to take back a situation I have given Him to deal with. Silly human nature, gets the best of us every time.
I thought I would share that in my blog today. God Bless!

Horse Riding Lessons

When we lived in West Point, California
Kyle was able to take horse riding lessons
with his friends. Here he was taught how to
saddle a horse, ride and trot. He had a great
time and what a hands on learning
experience.

California Snow

More pics of the California snow:

Snow covered cars

Being a kid

A little boy's world.

Dessert Anyone?

I forgot to put a pic of that delicious dessert we had. It was so pretty. I had to put it on the blog.

I can not photograph as well as my friend Audra. Here are the pics.

Beauty in a jar

I mentioned that I was at my friends house helping her eat I mean can her peaches. Well I have pictures of them along with that delicious dessert we ate.
I have never canned before or watched how it was done it was really interesting. I thought about how it is liked when we come to Christ

Peaches were boiled to remove the skins.
*It is like a washing, removing of ourselves from old to new with Christ.
Then the peaches are put into a warm mixture of sweetness.
*As we are sweetned with the Love of God and warmed with His comfort.
Next the jars are boiled and taken out and filled with peaches.
*The sins which satan keeps making sure we don't forget are now taken out and forgiven with the prayer of repetance we now can fill ourselves with the truths of Christ.
The next step would be to put them back in the water to boil out all germs and seal them up without any air bubbles.
*As Christ washes away satan when he attacks, we have the Word of God to seal satans lips as God speaks truth in our daily readings.
Last step is the peaches are now taken out to cool and wiped clean.
*God is always there to cool our minds when trouble times are ahead, He is there to wipe us and take care of us, to make sure when we are looked at we are beautiful in His eyes.

Quiet Thursday

Today I don't have to run around. Praise God! Zachary is going on a playdate with his friends. I am taking my other kid to find some long shorts, its tough being a tall kid.
Yesterday, we helped my dear friend paint her living room. Although, we only did the ceiling, we put some of the colors on the wall to see what it would look like. I think I will look very beautiful, my bff thinks it looks a little shocking, but she will understand when it all comes together. I will put a pic on my blog, forgot my camera to take that pic.
God gave us the most beautiful colors so why not display His brilliant work all over your house.
I have to go to the store now. Till next time.

Friday!

It is 9:15 am and I should be cleaning my house, but thought I would blog before I started the task of laundry. I woke up to a happy husband who is glad it is Friday, although he might have to work on the weekend. Yesterday I went over to my friends house to watched her can or jar peaches. It was a very delicious day. I stirred and ate, canned and ate, cleaned up and ate. So it was real good. Oh, and after that we had a cheesecake dessert. So the day was wonderful. She had pickles made and ready to store away. I think the colors of the pickles and peaches are so beautiful, I will get pictures up.
Anyway, not much going on. I have to get back to my household duties.
God is good, all the time!

All quite in the Animal Kingdom

It is peaceful today in our home today, but that will change when hubby comes home. What can I say I have my own Krusty the clown or zoo animal whichever he feels like being today.
I can not say much today because I am going over to my best friends house. We have so much fun together, we will be painting her living room. We have chosen some warm colors to match her rug. The last time we painted we had so much fun and laughed so hard, oh wait, that was the fumes of the paint. Anyway, we had such a good time.
Okay, well I have to go now.

Let God be with you always!
