Let the Good Times Roll…

My hope and inspiration for this blog is to encourage women to be all that they can be in the Lord.  It is from experience and a humble heart that I can say…God can change hearts and lives.  If He did it in me..he can do it in you!  I love to share from God’s Word and from what He has taught me. 

Most things are shared through everyday, ordinary life.  But probably not often enough do I share FUN!  Recently our fabulous neighbors hosted a surprise party for their 16 year old son.  Our children “live” at each other’s houses and we always feel at home with each other’s families.  As we celebrated with family, friends, kids, teenagers, the church youth group, it was a time to fellowship and enjoy one another in a wholesome celebration full of fun!  Thanks T & K for opening your home and being a great blessing!

So…while the “cool” teenage boys sat around…looking cool:

The girls had a blast:  At first, we weren’t too sure…

But then we loosened up:

And had some FUN:

Since this was a family event, even the husband joined in on the fun:

Laughter and fun refresh the soul and bond us together with joy.  Thank you Lord, for great family, friends and fun!

    BTW - I would love to be included for the chance at CSN shopping gift...I would surely get something for the house - and I really liked looking through the wall clocks. I would love to have an oversized one for our living room - for a wall that I really have nothing else for..and a big clock would be great. They are kinda pricey so $50 would be great!! Please enter me:) Thanks.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Paths of Prayer

Today, I'm joining up with Five Minute Friday, a fun writing opportunity to connect and share a quick thought on this week's theme "Path". For many years, when coming across a Scripture about 'paths', it turned into a prayer and desire to be led down God's open paths. Through the years of life which included, marriage, keeping a home, job, raising children and as they began to explore their own paths, seeking God and His paths became a vital part of life and prayer.  As God's Word reveals God's goodness and His ways, I want to be walking - living a lifestyle on the paths that He leads.  Some of my favorite 'path' verses include: Proverbs 4:18 "But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."   Psalm 25:4,  "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths,"  Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your way...

Word-Filled Wednesday

I love participating in Word Filled Wednesday . This is hosted over at 160 acrewoods and is designed to share God's Word with verse and picture. Go over and take a peek - you will be blessed! The verse I chose for today is one of my favorite verses. A while back during an intense trial of watching a loved one struggle with addiction - ready to lose everything over the addiction, I read this verse and it spoke to my heart clearly. Without God - there is no hope, the things of this world will leave you empty and void. Chasing after the things of the world is like chasing the wind, you just can't grasp it. But in God there is hope. Even though the trial may be tough and challenging, God is hope and He will fill you with peace and joy as you believe in Him and you will abound in hope. May your day be blessed and filled with HOPE!
