Merry Christmas!

This year I got a Nativity Scene for my yard! Each year I plan on adding to it until I get the WHOLE scene!

Making Christmas cookies!

I was so happy it snowed for the boys! But one day is just enough!

At our homeschool Christmas Party

Christmas Eve Night

My favorite part is watching the boys open their gifts!

Anniversary of Roe vs Wade is 1/22

Go to virtualmarchforlife.com to sign up if you cant be in Washington DC to march. You can also see all of the leaders who have signed up, such as Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, John McCain etc.

Dont forget to be in prayer tomorrow for an end to abortion. Also pray for all the men and women who have already made this choice, pray that they find salvation and healing through Christ and that through their testimony others wouldnt make the same choice of abortion. Pray for the drs, nurses, and the many others who work in these clinics...Jesus died for them too! PRAY PRAY PRAY!!!

The truth ain't easy!

Last night I had to be brutally honest about something God laid on my heart. I to call out certain actions of another person, but not in a gossipy way, but in truth because God asked me to. I ignored His request for about two months, but realized last week He would hold me accountable if I didnt do what He ask me to do.

Well telling the truth AIN'T easy!!! I felt attacked for my honesty, even though I offered mercy and gave example how I had been on the other side before. I know first hand how important it is to be held accountable by other Christians, to repent and turn away in order to fully turn to Jesus. Their grace and forgiveness meant a lot to me! SO eventhough we sometimes have to speak up and speak truth, it doesnt have to be a "mean" thing...we should do so in love for the person or group and first for the Lord.

I knew I was going to feel attacked because the others have turned a blind eye for so long and dont feel comfortable speaking up especially in situations like this. I guess this is why God asked me to do it. He knows good and well I dont have problem speaking up LOL...I guess I should accept this as a gift from Him!

So though I did do what God asked me, it still hurt to feel condemned by the others for being honest even if what I said was Biblical. Then my dear sweet friend who didnt even know how I was feeling sent me a verse that stated EXACTLY how I felt!

Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? – Galatians 4:16

So all in all, I know I did what was right by God and Im ok with that. His Word clearly states we will be persecuted for doing right because He was persecuted as well. Just please pray for this situation! I know Im very vague on it, but I just have to be :)

How the lost get found!

LOVE the words to this song!! Everytime I hear it it reminds to do whatever I have to do to share God's love with others...and even if Im not perfect HE IS! I just have to stay faithful and love love LOVE!

The Lord is goooooooood!!!!!!!!

It has been awhile! Our computer has broken so I have been a bad blog reader and writer the last month :)

Last year my mom lost her home in Hurricane Ike and has been living in a FEMA trailer since last November 11. She recently found out that if she didnt buy her trailer for $2400 she would lose it :( This would leave her homeless or having to moving a couple hours away from her hometown. I asked everyone I knew to please pray for her...well God heard those prayers and came through! My mom's pastor told her yesterday that a man came to him and said God woke him up and told him to pay for my mom's trailer and to have it put on stilts!!! How marvelous is that!?!?!!

She still needs prayer because she doesnt want to be stuck in a FEMA trailer forever! The government is still going through money from various sources to see who qualifies to have a home built... my mom meets all the requirements but that doesnt guaranty her anything...so please keep her in your prayers!

My life has been chaotic for awhile but I feel like I'm moving out of this valley, I pray that I am! It's hard being the youngest in my large dysfunctional family and having to be the one to help everyone else and not feel like I have anyone to turn to for comfort. I had called out to God about this one day, upset, and He asked me a very straightforward question:

AM I NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU??

This broke my heart because He is more than enough! We dont always get what we want and things my not be easy at times, but God is ALWAYS there! He loves us more than we know! So whether Im on the way out of my valley or not, God is with me and my hands shall stay lifted praising His name!
