Prayers Answered!

Well my Dad is out of the hospital and on his way to a full recovery. I just want to thank everyone for your prayers, because prayer is such a powerful thing.

Ephesians 6:18
New International Version


18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

It is so comforting to know that people who do not know me or my family have prayed and God has answered YES! Thank you all!

I just wanted to let all of you know that this week may be a bit boring on my blog. I may try to get some guest posts but we will see how it all works out.
My Dad visited the ER Sat. night and was released, only to have to return last night. He was admitted and they are running a ton of test. His blood pressure is extremely elevated and a few other things are going on. I am waiting on some test results before I head up there. My day today will be spent getting things ready and in line in case I leave. Please keep my Dad and our family in your prayers.

I have an award to pass on from Tammy of Pink Stinx I am excited about this award, but will have to post it a bit later! Thank you Tammy for thinking of me!!

PSF: Baking Fun

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

Last Saturday I got the pleasure of having a Mommy Day with my very good friend Michelle! We had planned this day for a day of baking for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was a blessing to get to spend time with such a good friend doing something that we both love. I didn't get to bake near as much at I wanted due to a mistake while making sugar cookies! I added double of one ingredient and so had to double an already huge batch. so I worked on those most of the day. I did Sugar cookies, Peanut Butter Reese's cookies, and Pumpkin Cranberry cookies. Michelle made Sugar cookies, Peanut Butter Balls, and Ginger Bread cookies. It all turned out so YUMMY, (we did have to sample as we went). I froze it all to give as gifts for Christmas, and of course let the kids taste one of everything I made. Thank you Michelle for a wonderful day, and thank you Joe for occupying 3 active boys so we could share the day, you are the BEST.

One of those Weeks!

Have you ever had one of those weeks, where you just wish things would SLOW down? That has been my week, exactly! I am trying to make jewelry for a craft show, work, teach Ladies Bible Class tonight, help Joe Braden with his first major project, take care of my sick children, clean my house for company, and be a good wife and Mom! Way too many extras for one week! I am notorious for putting too many irons in the fire and I have seriously topped myself this week. Oh and I didn't mention a youth group concert, and Oral Reading Practice!

I am trying not to see the negative but oh my it is hard! I just keep telling myself I am blessed to be this involved!

Sorry this is a short post but as you see I have a TON to do!

Wordful Wednesday: Where does the Time go?

Tonight I was bathing the boys and they were splishing and splashing and making a MESS. I, not feeling good, was just trying to get them in and out and I started getting so frustrated at the mess they were causing. I usually don't bathe them together because of this, but again I didn't feel well and thought maybe I could cut my time.
When I went to get them out I wrapped a towel around Joshua and thought of this picture:


Lord, forgive me for being frustrated, and please let me remember I will miss this time.

I hope that all of you are enjoying your children in the moments they are in now. Each stage is enjoyable and one day they will be grown. Many blessings to all of you!
