#5 The Answer is Prayer, More About Jesus Seminar


It's always alright to ask. 


It is possible for a person to have a relationship with Jesus and also have sin in their lives, but eventually one of the things has to go. If we hold onto the sin - it becomes a cherished sin.

Silver Linings of Covid...series...part 2

 Being sick with Covid for 3 weeks was tough but God blessed me through this time period and I was able to find the silver linings. 

I had already decided that I needed to change my hair style. I have done my hair the same way for years and years. You know when you find a good thing, why change? Well several things had convinced me that it was time to let it grow out. At my last hair cut in June we had tweeked one tiny thing with the plans of continuing the process. I had tried to change my hair at least once or twice but usually only made it one hair cut. 

It has been hard to change hair styles because I was so used to seeing my hair fixed a certain way.  So June 15th I got sick and for 3 weeks I did not fix my hair. And gradually I got used to seeing my hair flat. I like volume up a bit and out on sides a bit. So when I don't fix it like I did - it is pretty flat. But for 3 weeks I did not fix my hair and I got used to seeing it flatter. So ever since then I have styled it differently. I had a hair cut last week and we began that letting it grow out - by cutting about 1 1/2 inches off of the back so that the layers will even up quicker. Next hair cut we will cut a bit more off of the back and the the sides can catch up. I hope I am able to find something that is flattering for me and I love! I love what my hair does in the back - I actually have some curl to it. I am hoping the longer my hair gets on the sides that I will maybe end up with some curl in it too! That would be awesome! 

So Covid was rough but there have been some blessings that have come out of it. I am glad that I took the time to noticed the silver linings of Covid. Next week I will share another silver lining! See you then! :O)

Love Mandates What?

 "Love mandates freedom; freedom creates risk; but love is worth the risk.... God is love (1st John 4:8) ... His love is so genuine and deep that He has no choice but to allow us to love Him in return or not."

"See With New Eyes~ The true beauty of God's Character" by Ty Gibson

This is the book I am currently reading. It is an excellent book. I will share several great quotes - but just know that the entire book is great and well worth the time to read!! :O)

Look what I found in my garden!! :O)

So several months ago I planted a few of these seeds in a planter I have in the back yard! 
Before this year - I have never grown much of anything from seeds- and hadn't grown any flowers from seeds. I sure wish now I had have started growing from seed years ago! 
Last week I noticed something different about my salvia flowers- I thought they had a new pink addition to the flowers. 

On further examination I found the cutest tiny moths! I have never scene these before. In fact, I thought that these were butterflies at first. Didn't realize that moths enjoyed nectar as well. But a relative shared with me - that this is a Southern Pink Moth. I think it is so pretty! God's creation is such a blessing!!

Is it Wise to Join Majority?

"Don't ever go by what the majority decides. In this world the majority has usually been wrong. So if you find the majority overwhelmingly agreeing on a particular point, the 1st thing to do is to suspect it and then study it out for yourself. It is dangerous to follow what the crowd does. It is dangerous to follow what the majority do."

Morris Venden in his book " God Says, But I Think"
This is the book I just finished reading. It was an excellent book. I have loved ALL of Morris Venden's books. If you ever get a chance to read any of his books- I highly recommend them!

Hello! :O)

 Just stopping by for a few minutes to let you all know that I am doing pretty good. I am just busy working at getting things caught up around here. I am the one who takes care of our yard and garden and 3 weeks - of me not taking care of them - left a whole lot of jobs to do. Plus the things that I already had on my list to do before I got so sick. Anyway - I am praising God that mornings have been pretty decent weather - for now- so I have worked every morning I was able and have been able to get a lot of it taken care of. I still have things I want to do the the basics are done and a few more things as well and I am happy about that.

One of our sons has been out of town and I have been taking care of their garden and cats as well- and so that takes me there 2 times a day. Thankfully it is not a long ways to their house. 

Anyway I just wanted to stop by and say Hi! I hope you all are doing well. :O)
