Words that speak to me!!!!!

Only one name lasts forever


Only one fame stands alone

Only one key has an anthem

That goes on and on and on
And I'm singing to the God who brings redemption to the nations Kings and oceans bow to Him in praise And I'm singing to the God who wrote the book on our salvation To the One who covers me in grace I'm singing
Only one word in the beginning

Only one truth will prevail

Only one love brings you freedom

Only one Man took the nails


Praise, Praise to the Savior

Praise, to the Lamb Of God

Praise, in all of His splendor

Praise, for saving my life

And I'm singing to the God who brings redemption to the nations Kings and oceans bow to Him in praise And I'm singing to the God who wrote the book on our salvation To the One who covers me in grace.

Fiery Furnace or Lion's Den

My blog friend over at Splashin' Glory paid me an sweet compliment on my last post. I want to take her lead. She asked me to leave a comment as her honored guest. She wanted to know where I had been this year and how God had shown me things. I have had some TRIALS this year with my children. From breakups to injuries. Family, well lets not even start there. The Bible says rejoice in trials, it builds your faith. I can finally see this. It's not that we aren't going to have trials, but it is how we let GOD show us how to handle them.He purifies us , separates the junk in our lives to grow closer to HIM.

God protected the three in the fiery furnace and was in it with them as well. God protected Daniel from the Lions' hungry mouths. He can do the same for you.

I am blessed with some great prayer warriors, and church family.
What has your year been like, what has God shown you? Leave me a comment. I'd love to rejoice with you or pray for you. Have a blessed Tuesday. Thank you Splashin Glory for inspiring my day, and post.

Faith

I was cleaning my desk off today, you can't imagine.....anyway I found this



"Whenever God closes one door He always opens another,
 even though sometimes it's HELL in the hallway."

Happiness keeps you sweet,

trials keep you strong,

sorrow keep you human,

failures keeps you humble,

success keeps you glowing

but ONLY GOD keeps you going,

worry looks around,

sorry looks back,

FAITH looks up.


Amen to that sisters.

And one more thing, I was featured on a friends blog about marriage, click on over there and check it out.

Family Fountain thanks Warren.

After my few days of dealing with things God has called me to deal within myself,
 I am delivered!
God spoke to me way into the night.

 "AM I NOT ENOUGH, I AM GOD YOU KNOW."

I was lead to this song. Enjoy it as much as I have

I 'M SINGING!!!!!!

my boys

My boys are very different. But isn't variety the spice of life.


One love to have his picture taken, and loves the baseball



One that loves to mess the pictures up, and love the cowboy life.


I love them both with all my heart. God knows exactly what type of children to give you.
Although I have teenagers, and they do their best to push my buttons, I love them.

The WORLD

WARNING!!!!!!
Sensitive issue below.







I have a very interesting job. I am a director of a crisis pregnancy center. I see just about everything on a daily basis come through our doors.

Broken women
Broken families
Broken children

As we go to area schools these next few weeks please pray for us.
We are taking the message of what services we offer,including the
 message about pornography, rape, & incest.


Each time I am sad at the uneducated adults who think if it isn't happening to them, it isn't happening.
I have had two calls this week alone on incest in families.

Please pray for the work God has sent us out to do. Porn is such a huge addiction and it starts very young in some cases, with cell phone pictures to the very computers the school has issued  the child. It is on TV, movies and magazines. Our children have no filters for this because the WORLD has said this is ok and NORMAL. Sex may sell it but our children are paying the price for it.

My heart is heavy on these issues and I know God has called me to step up, this is my calling. I took a step out in faith just to post this, I too have been abused. Many of you know my testimony.
I have been where these children are and I know the LORD GOD is ABLE and will heal those who suffer.
He healed me!

God has a plan

God has a plan for us even before he speaks us into motion.

YESTERDAY I had a wonderful friend tell me that God gave her Jerimiah 29:11-13
for me!!!!! God told her this verse was for ME.

WOW!
it reads like this

For I know the plans I have for you,plans to give you hope and a future.
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me,
and I will listen to you.
Youw ill seek me and find me when you seek me
with all your heart.


I had a HUGE problem today. One very unexpected.
I was so stressed on how to fix it I was sweating.
Then I realized, I can't fix this I called unto my Heavenly Father.
I started getting calls back and answers on how to fix the probem.

God does have a plan and HE can FIX ANYTHING, no
matter how great or how small

Your once yearly, visit to the farm, post.



I know, I know...if you wanted to see pictures of farm life, you wouldn't come here to view it through the lens of my point and shoot. That's what the Pioneer Woman is for, that gal can weave an entire post around a single, wrangler clad hiney, let's face it...she makes country livin look good.



There will however, be no wrangler clad hineys in this post. Believe me, you're welcome.



With the way PW has turned her husbands hired hands into stars, it has really put the pressure on all of us regular farmwife bloggers, you should hear the tantrums...



"BUT! Whyohwhy am I not a blogstar...I've got wranglers!!! This is a bunch of hogwash...I'm moving to Oklahoma!"



If I had a pound of cotton for every time I've had to listen to that song and dance.



Anyway, he asked for it...


Meet Puddin'



Alright, I admit...I made 'Pippi' up... that's not his real name at all.



But PUDDIN, Puddin, I did not...



In facts:

A) The guy has 'PUDDIN' emblazoned oh his belt, I hear it's on his checkbook too. Don't laugh. Too hard.

B) I actually refer to him as Puddin'g', heavy emphasis on the ing.

C) The proof is in the puddin...



How you like me now, Jello?

Uh, your mom's got a camera and a computer...

Take that, Tapioca.

What Farmers Do ALL Day. A Postumentary.






There's a lot of sitting in the dappled shade of old oak trees, sippin on mason jars of sweet tea, with wedges of orange and sprigs o'mint.


Farmers like to sit back and take it easy,
when they're not out delivering doughnuts, that is.



Little Sprout calls them "Nonuts".

The donuts... not the farmers.



Occasionally, there might be a little mechanic work to be done.





"What a ratchet! This job sockets."
Looks like Cow's about to throw a disc out.
I need more farmers reading this blog, they would have got that.

Hey Puddin, If you're thinking that you might pursue this line of work, I thought it only fair to show this 'side by side' comparison of where you'll be in ten years, or rather, where your hair won't be.
This one is my favorite, it's the moment they realized one of the Sprouts had walked away with their tools.

WELCOME TO MY WORLD

Welders and Grinders, Welders and Grinders
Navy Beans, Navy Beans
Welders and Grinders


Puddin? How come whenever I stop by, Mama Cow is always kneelin down to pray?

Is it me?

Is it you?


The shot I wanted.

The shot I got........

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?"


"I want you to hold that great big wrench up where I can see it."


"No, make it look natural."

"This feels pretty natural."

 
What a tool.
If you don't own a single piece of John Deere clothing,
and you've made it this far, I applaud you.



Vanna Cow seriously wanted me to write about the befores and afters of these thingies. There's like 8 more of these shots. You're welcome, again.
Well, looks like the guys are ready for plowing and bedding.

Micheal Scott, you can take it from here.


The End of this episode......

Dear Lord

Dear Lord,
As I sit here reminding myself that You called me into motion. I am not here to merely exist or to serve myself. You called me, you have a plan for me, I have a purpose.
Lord, I ask that you keep me humble enough to be your servant and to always be mindful of others.
I am here to serve you , to love others, and to spread the word of Jesus Christ Your Son who died and paid the ultimate price for me. I can't repay that debt, but I can do what you have called me to do.
To be obedient, keep your commandments, love one another.

Father, I thank you for your word, for your unfailing love for me. For your GRACE, MERCY, and FORGIVNESS you have  given me. Thank you for revealing to me piece by piece your will for me.
It is an honor to serve you Lord.
In Jesus mighty & Holy Name AMEN!!!!!
