I think i am going to get rid of my pages going across the top of my blog...just to simplify things a bit.
I have been counting blessings with Ann Voskamp over at A Holy Experience *and I just finished reading her book...which is a MUST read* and with the page of blessings up there at the top...I forget to list them...
On her blog every Monday is Multitude Monday linky party..so I will just start that up instead of having a whole page dedicated to it...because I don't plan to stop at One Thousand :)
So to get all of my blessings from my page..to my blog..I am just copying and pasting 50 at a time...so sorry....but please bear with me!!
1. I am very grateful that God seen me fit to be a mother. I always remembered
wanting to be a momma..and I am so proud of my little girl that gives me that
title.
2. stubborness as a good thing...yet a bad thing
3. that sometimes i am taken advantage of ...and that's ok
4. A beautiful
day in January to go to the park and play with Baby Girl
5. I love seeing
these little feet under the pew finding her own joys in the middle of "adult"
church
6. Just being
able to have food on my plate is a blessing...having enough for my family is
more than enough..and having enough for seconds is a blessing.
7. Lyla:
Momma..I love you!
8. Lyla's
friend Savannah to Lyla: Lyla..Your my best friend in the world
9. My Mother
in law: Just calling to check on you.
10. My husband
suprised me with this one day..I love it!
11. My new gift
is the new church that is being built ..I am so excited to get back "home" and
in our own church after a fire in July burned downed it down...if God is for us...who can be against us?
12. My blue gift
is my Blue Great Dane puppy Nala
13. I am
reading The Radiant Woman by Joy Haney..good reminder book on how to stay
positive in the Lord.
14. I am making photo books for Christmas,
vacation, and anything else I can think of from Shutterfly
15. failures happen for success to happen
16. I was so
shocked when this book came in the mail to me because I had recieved the
reference to read it at a women's church conference...the speaker had told us
the name of the book was "Sheet Music" and that it was a really good
book...so I thinking something about singing or music ...maybe how to praise
God...I was NOT expecting, " Uncovering the secrets of sexual intimacy in
Marriage"
Little did I
know..I was thinking sheet music...as in music
and it was really
bedroom sheet music
So Funny!
Gregg makes fun
of me because I ordered a sex book
Moving on
though..I agree with the reference to read it! Seriously!
I have never
laughed so hard in my life..or had so many AHA! moments
It is probably
meant to be read by husband and wife (or soon to be husband and wife)...but the
only thing my husband reads is Field and Stream magazine..so when I find a good
part...I read it to him!
Right now the
chapter I am on is....
Twenty Three
Flavors..and none of them are ice cream
I can see some
lines from this book ending up on this blog..soon!!
17. Love me some
Honey butter..that makes diets..REAL hard!
18. A gift in my
heart - I have really had the urge here lately to start up a card ministry. I
love getting cards..so surely someone else does too! Not only just a card...but
a hand written card...not much of anything is handwritten anymore.
19. my sister in law Candace is always
selfless in everything she does..I am always telling her to stand up for
herself..but that is such a graceful quality in her personality..and one that is
hard to have
20. my friend Trish is such a giving
person...she will help you in any way she can...even if it means filling her
schedule to the max...and still have a smile on her face. She is a mother of
four girls that I aspire to be like.
21. my Daddy..has
always been there for me...even during my stupid times...and made me feel smart
anyway...don't know what I would without him.
22. I love this picture! I was so
proud when I finally caught lightning on my camera!
23. Lyla and I at the Crystal
Palace having lunch with Tigger, Pooh, Piglet, and Eeyore. I am usually in
"ZERO" pictures so I took one myself..of myself..and Lyla! I love
it!
24. Ok..this is really a shadow..but I love
the shadows of the tree and mountain against the sky
25. the gift in
my hand is my wedding ring...my favorite gift of all!
26. a gift I walk
by every day is this sign..I have it hanging in my entryway so that I do walk by
it everyday...just to read it!
27. a gift I sit
with.is this big lug..
28. Gregg brought these to church for a
snack..yes.. my husband also has to have a "church snack"..and he very politely
shared with me...but what you don't see is that these are SOUR smarties...who
knew they even made those!
29. Something
sweet is some Ice Cream for dessert!!
30. Something just right is an ice cold glass
of sweet tea

spirit right in my little house
