Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.

Glory to God!

Today is Thanksgiving day and I am up before six a.m. I can't sleep and I'm not sure why. I don't have any plans for the day or anything to bake, I think my body is just used to getting up at this time of day. Justin has to work today. We did Thanksgiving with my mom last weekend, she came to visit and we had a great time. We actually did Christmas also. Then this coming weekend we are having Thanksgiving at Justin's parent's house. So today we didn't need to do a Thanksgiving for just us. Maybe next year we will have an addition to the family, but who knows.
Yesterday I did do lots of baking though. I made 72 rolls, an apple pie, an oreo dessert, and a peanut butter chocolate dessert thing. We had an outreach for the families in Rockaway Beach to come get a free meal and Pastor Jonathan shared the gospel. It was so awesome to see God work in the lives of these people and hopefully they will find their real hope in Jesus.

My momma is here!

My mom is here this weekend and we are having so much fun. She took us all out for supper at Cracker Barrel yesterday. Today we got up and went into town...we did a little shopping in downtown Branson and then went to eat at Freddy's..I love Freddy's but my mom didn't care for it. After that we went and got our nails done...It was so much fun having a little girls time. When we finished my hot husband met up with us and we went shopping at Tanger and a Craft Mall.
After shopping we headed to Bass Pro to pick up a deep fryer to fry our turkey we are having tomorrow. I can't wait for our Thanksgiving feast tomorrow.
I made an apple pie this evening for the first time and let me tell you it was OH SO GOOD! I did well for my first time. Well, I better get back to visiting.

The weekend is almost over!

This week has been very busy. On monday I had a meeting with our pastor about my new position in the church. On Tuesday we had a meeting with all the teacher, Wednesday was my birthday. Justin made me his grandma's 'famous' cheesecake. It is the best cheesecake I have ever had. It was amazing. He bought me a bible and a case. It is so pretty and I love it.
Thursday was a pretty calm day.

Justin left Friday to go deer hunting. He will be gone til Monday. I sure do miss him when he is gone and there are always strange noises in the house that I don't hear when he is with me. He called last night and he didn't have a deer in hand yet. Daniel, Justin's brother, did get one though. Hopefully today or tomorrow he will bring us home some meat.

Kymberly has been trying to get me to try on the bridesmaid dress that she picked out for her wedding. I have been so busy I have totally forgot to go try it on. I know I am a bad friend. Hopefully she will forgive me. I am not sure what to do because Justin and I are trying to have a baby again and having to order a dress now and not having the wedding til May could cause a problem.

Well I am headed to church so I better get busy.

Lord's Day

This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. Today is Sunday and Justin and I are getting ready for church. We love the church we attend and we really feel that God is moving in the church.
I am in charge of the worship PowerPoint so I have to be there an hour before to get it all set up and get everything ready. Please pray for me as Tuesday is a big day for me. Please pray that the church is understanding in Pastor's decisions and very respective to his ideas.
Wednesday is my 28th birthday. I pray that the Lord blesses me with a child soon, so I am not too old to have children.
It has been getting a little cold here in the mornings. It is nice to have a change from the summer heat, I just wish it would be about 70 degrees all year long. That would make for a great day everyday.
My mom is coming to visit me the weekend before Thanksgiving. I am so excited to see her. I haven't seen her or my sisters since July. I can't wait. I do get to see Joy more often because she is at college and lots closer to me. We are going to have a "Thanksgiving" meal while she is here. I am not sure what we are making yet, but I know it will be good.
Well, I still have my hair wrapped in a towel so I better go do something with it before church.
I love you all and have a wonderful Lord's day also.

This N That

Well, the supper was a flop for my husband as he didn't like it...I loved it though so I dunno...oh well I will try again sometime.

I don't think I ever put on here but a few weeks ago our church had a fundraiser because we are needing a bigger building and we need it fast...well anyway we raised over $15,000 just that one day for our fundraiser. God was really working there and it was nice to see.

At church I am teaching the 3/4 grade class right now. They are a handful, but I am trying to show them God's love and how they need to be Respectful.
The pastor and his wife want me to start doing a new job at the church...I have self-proclaimed my title to be Director of Children's Ministry. LOL!! We will see what they think about that. My pastor's wife always tells me to just say God told me. So there I am just telling them that God told me that was my new title there.
Justin has been wanting to start a prayer ministry at the church and that would be so awesome for us as we will be getting into a lot of spiritual warfare with the building coming up and new things happening. Please pray that people are accepting of his vision and they too come beside him and we all work together for the LORD. As that is our main goal, not ourselves but our God.

WOW! that's good.

I just made something new for supper. It is called Hamburger Cheese Bake and I got it out if a recipe book my mother in law gave me. It is amazing....Well, I have only had a few small bits because I am waiting on my husband to get back from hunting so we can eat, but the few small bits I had were GREAT!!! I can't wait to eat the rest.

Busy and boring!

It seems as if my life is busy but really boring actually. I seem to be on the go all the time but never have anything to write about on my blog. Justin and I have decided to start trying again to have a baby so please pray that everything goes well. We know God has it under control. Justin has been cleaning up the lot next to us and soon it will actually be looking nice and Justin will begin his shop building. For Christmas I think I will just get him a gift card to Home Depot so he can have it for stuff for his shop. For Christmas I get to go to an NFL game. The Chiefs play the day after Christmas and a bunch of my family is going so it should be lots of fun. I have never been so I am kind of excited to go. Well, I better get busy on things around the house. Ta ta for now.
