Cold day Catch up

Well today was quite an unexpected day. Woke up to babysit and turned the heat up cuz it was seriously freezing. After being told schools were on a delay I took a peek outside and said Holy moly! :0 Schools ended up cancelling so I decided on this cold day to stay home and catch up on some much needed cleaning. Since I was actually up early I am about done cleaning, and then it will be time for some relaxation with hot food and a blanket ( or 2)

Me and Josh being goofy! :) Love this so much

 Over the weekend we had the Family fest at church and we were all pretty nervous cuz it looked like it was going to be cold and rainy. God had our back! It was a Lil chilly but not to bad and no rain! :) http://instagram.com/p/RV483RJ3ob/  This is a link to a pic of me and Katie in front of our booth. The youth had a photo booth which was a pretty big hit, and an awesome idea. i had another photo booth pic with the girls but it was not wanting to load.  Anyway Family fest 2012 was tons of fun although it took alot of work It was a blast! can't wait till next year! :)
 Reminder to everyone Christmas is coming up so if you are wanting to purchase some crochet scarfs please let me know! :) I am so excited about this..the money i make will go towards the orphanage being built in Nigeria and supporting my sister who is going there this Spring. So please let me know so I can get Crocheting.

One of the Scarfs I have made. FYI: These are super duper warm! :)

 Hope you all have a wonderful Day! keep warm! :)

Doing something I enjoy

Well I just realized that I still need to post some more pictures of our house, but I will get to that a little later.  I love crocheting and it is honestly something I never saw myself doing. When we first got married and Josh was on second shift I decided I needed a hobby of some sort, so I taught myself how to crochet (with the help of YouTube) I have been crocheting ever since, but I have a specialty..I Love to make big infinity scarfs.   The other day Josh asked if I was ever going to make anything besides a scarf and I said maybe but I love wearing them and making them.
 Today as I was working on a scarf while watching the Browns game It hit that hey I love doing this so much why don't I make them for other people and sell them. So I am going to give it a shot!  If you are interested in one you can just let me know and I would love to make one:) Now the money I make ( if I make any) I would use some of it to help out my sister who is going to Nigeria this Spring. She is going to work at an orphanage.

 So I would be doing something I love, making you something cute, and also helping my sister get to Nigeria.  This may not work out, but you never know until you try:) here are some pics of a couple that I have made and love:)    So like I said we will try this out let me know if you would like  one made for you. Still not sure on a price maybe 10 or 15..?

Christ in me

Well this morning I actually got up to do my devotion/quiet time with God. I am not a morning person and I have become extremely busy so I have been trying to manage my time. Most likely I will need to try and wake up earlier to get my quiet time in. There is something relaxing about the morning time. The sun is shining, the house is peaceful,drinking tea and got Shine FM on. Now I don't have children so my life shouldn't be so not relaxing, but what I mean by that is morning is completely before the day starts so there are no other thoughts in my head or nothing else to distract me. Even though it takes me a bit to wake up I enjoy trying to have my quiet time in the mornings simply because my mind is cleared so it is easier to think and be focused.
 This morning I read a short devotion called Open heart surgery, and it was simply how until God comes in and replaces our old heart with a heart of him we won't be able to live like a christian. I don't know if that makes any sense, but there are so many things in life that can get us being offended, snapping at our spouse, apathy and so many more but if we have Christ in us it is way easier to push through those things We can not live without his help, but we have to ask him to help us get through some of those things we struggle with. I am not perfect at all but God helps me to be a good wife, and to be a good children's minister.  I am not perfect in either of these things but I know that God is on my side and I can do what I am called to do and be the wife that I am suppose to be to my husband.
I thank God so very much for saving me and loving me and being a friend that I can count on. (From my class last night at church) He always listens and is a good friend and always wants to help us be a better person as long as we are willing.  I am not saying that I will be able to wake up and have a great quiet time every morning, but I will TRY my hardest and even if I don't i will meditate on what I have been reading while getting ready in a rush.
 I encourage all of you to find that time that works best for you to spend time with God. You may not even know how to have a quiet time,but ask God to help you and to give you direction. Have a wonderful day everyone! :)
