What is God doing in your LIfe today....



As I started of this week with a super extra day off , but somethings were laying on my heart pretty heavy about things someone said > I know that you can roll them off your back and not let them bother you and so I asked the Lord for some counsel and BOY did he come threw as I went to work this morning it was a sure blessing on how to see how the Lord works.



I am going to back this up even more ... As my dear friend Linda at Prairie Flower Farms started "Building Our Home together" I thought that I had things pretty much under control. Hubby got a new job after being out of a job for almost ten months BUT he had to go live in Casper that was four hours away and come home on the weekend so as we prayed about this the Lord told him to "Go-its my TIME not yours" so he went and three weeks in to this job that he love they told him that he would be coming back to Rapid City as of July 5th. We have been so blessed we listened and OBEYED and somethings I think that we all need to SLOW DOWN and listen to HIM.



It is like today with my deal I cried to HIM and told him how I felt and as I went to work today thinking about this as I woke up and saying to myself ok God this is yours and you will do ALL things. Peace came over and it was awesome to as tomorrow comes ask your self OK Jesus I am here for you and What Would you like me to do for you?




The other fun thing is when your children are so awesome at teaching the love of Christ. LaNaya who is 14 is helping teach VBS this week there was 82 children there today, I love to see how this helps them grow closer to the Lord as well. We have a special day coming up with her too she will be baptized in July all of our children are dedicated as babies and when they understand the meaning of a baptism then they get baptized in a creek near by it is so sweet she is our baby and all of our children will be baptized. I know that I was baptized when I was about 25 or so. So to Jesus as a young age and grow up with HIM in your family is an amazing seed to plant!




So on a busy note on my dayz off we crafted and crafted and had some fun it was super nice to spend some "LOVE" (children spell l o v e by spending TIME with them) So it was a true sweet memories.



May the rest of your week be blessed and fill with all of thing threw Christ Jesus !!!!


I wanted to mention that this picture is not what I really had in mind but it worked good sorry for the fallish look!!! I need to go spend some time and so more beauty scenes I guess! Hope you enjoy it!

Sonday is upon us!!










I have borrowed the "Sonday" from a a friends blog it really sweet and every time I see it on her blog I think of the SON that saved me and that it is HIS day. Every day is HIS but we need to at times remind us to slow down and not work on HIS DAY!!




It was a sad day for us on Friday as our pet Mini Lop Rabbit went to a new home a really good home with three kids that will love her too. We love you Kloe and will Miss you!




We have been having some awful storms go threw in the last few days hail up to tennis ball size and I am just praising HIM that we have no damage here . Some on the other side of town have broken windshields to lots of dents. This was on Friday. We were out of electricity for an hour . We attending a cook out for 4H and ended up under this building with 65 mph winds and about and inch of rain in less than an half hour. SO as we ate salads, and desserts and tried to stay warm too. We had a great time. We came home and River spent the night it was such a blessing I am go grateful for being in his life. I found out after we got home that there was more than 5000 people with out of electricity and traffic was backed up on high way(interstate 90) because of utility pole down. LaNaya said to me mom what AF (her Amish friend) being doing ? She said I know they would be playing where ever it would be light at and that would be outside so we sat outside for a while then it came back on!!!







Saturday came and we went to park and played with River and enjoyed the nice warm day! I love the warmth then DH was on his way home from work and they had storms there so I thought that we could get them before he got home and we did not. But about nine last night we had pea size hail once again and it was for about 20 minutes so there was allot of tree leaves off and allot of water running again!



This is a stool that I made for Mikks hope she likes it! made out of PVC pipe!!




Here are some pictures that I took this week in all the where abouts I went to. Enjoy them!

As I woke up this morning to the sun shining bright , thinking of our children and how we always need to pray for there lives and their children , what ever it is. I know that I have mentioned about Rissa and the trailer and all of the goodies that re going on with that and I think of LaNaya at camp this week as she is a counselor and how her heart is so full of stuff sometimes ~~~ this morning as I was praying the house was soo quite the Lord brought to my heart to pray for all of their hearts to BELIEVE with the WHOLE HEART!!!!! So as I am cleaning out my refuge and restore the hearts of our loved ones as a mom, mentor, please take the time to tell them that you love them and

Rain Rain Rain......



I have been thinking today about all of the rain that we have been getting I know that it is hard to be so happy---YES I am happy BUT we need some sun shine.



LaNaya is at a camp counselor for the next week again and she called me not feeling the greatest due to Pine Pollen and waking up with a sore throat due to drainage and so pray for her and to top off her day today they were out on the canoe and it tipped over so she had some little camper freaking out and she was calm but she did not know if she could keep it together so she had to call her mommy. That is so tender to for me I love when she could pick up a phone and call me . But I told her that the Lord is your comforter too. Pray for your healing and BELIEVE IT IN WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART ~~~ She is so sweet I just have a tender spot for my kids as far as leading them to the Lord more showing them to step out in Faith.







As the rain fell today our daughter that got there trailer delivered last Friday they have come acrossed sooo many bumps I am going to call them so they are in getting into it for three more weeks due to some damage that was done when it was moved so PLEASE pray for that as well. I am go grateful for all things and I know that the Lord will SHINE in this and so at this time I would also like to post Building our Homes with Jesus over at Prairie Flower Farms I would love to be able to everything but.....ALL THINGS ARE THREW CHRIST JESUS......




If it is to make things happen..healing...or what ever it may be have Faith of a Mustard SEED!!!!



Hugs My Friends

Thursday after reading some comments on my blog and thanks Cheryl, Gert, Mrs.T and there are a few others as well. I want to Thanks you for the Prayers has I have has some things laying on my heart about Hubby being gone during the week at work four hours away , to my daughter and her fiancee getting there trailer they had been waiting since the end May and not to mention my daughter being gone to camp.



LaNaya came home on Thursday night I was so excited to see her and she how camp went I could not get home fast enough it was crazy so we talked about all of the training she did to be a counselor and asked me if she could take an extra session . I am soo very proud of the leadership that is coming out of her it is amazing. I love it. She was telling a story about this little girl that was a special needs girl and she feel in love with her and did very good with her and help out alot! Tender loving moments with her and that!!!! So she will be leaving on Monday for another week for two sessions not sure how things are going to work out but the LORD wiil work them out!





I am so excited for her!



Friday was here and looking forward to the weekend and Dan coming home so I try to make sure all of my "to do" list stuff is done so I can spend my time with him and family!



Off to work we had a special activities going on at work we have a TRIKE a THON where kids bring bike and ride and we make Tye dye t shirts for the event to raise money for the St Judes Children Hospital. It started out like I just want to go have fun and get my to do list done! It was windy that morning so off I and was hoping it would not rain in the afternoon for it is was in the forecast. I was watching all of these little guys on trike, stiders, the larger ones were such racing and having so much fun. It we were a little wind blown went as it got to be time for lunch so as I was waiting for my turn I received a texted from Dan stating you need t call me as soon as you can and so I thought the worse of things of course . Off to lunch I went and I called him and he told me that he was MOVING HOME July 1. I am so excited he will be working 25 miles away and we are so thrilled, Thanks for all of your prayers and Thanks You Jesus for hearing our prayers and our hearts too!!! I am so grateful for all of you that have prayer too. I then went back to lunch and sent Breckinss grandma a picture of him riding for the TRIKE a THON and she texted me back staying that there trailer was being delivered yesterday as well. It is amazing about these prayers being answered HE is so awesome. So Larissa and Bridgers Trailer got moved in yesterday and all of the rest will be smooth sailing!!!







While I was at my parents yesterday they are trying to sell the little place they live on it is 10 aches of irrigated land with 4 building and a double wide that is only 5 years old or so and we are believing with them then that it will sell this summer so they can move to town and enjoy retirement. Please agree with us. I went out there and there was some treasures that I found in his junk piles I took some PVC pipe and some goodies like that I will share with you later!

June 14, 2011






The sound of the birds this morning was amazing. What a great thing to wake up to birds singing, a cool morning after a really nice rain last night with some hail but not to much! LaNaya has been at camp for a few days now and it has been so quite I love the time. As I came home after having a sweet dinner with Rissa and River it was a super nice treat. Dan left to go to his job for the week and so I really enjoy my time at this time.



Tomorrow is our third week of BUILDING OUR HOME on Prairie Flower Farm blog. Linda has been talking about cleaning our refuge. Spiritually speaking there are some things in our lives that we need to remind ourselves of all the time the first thing that comes to mind is our hearts making sure that our hearts our in the right place. The next thing that comes to mind is our minds. We always have to keep our minds aways from the negative and not dwell in it.



So as I was cleaning up some unwanted items around my house this weekend and tonight it sure is nice to go and see that yes I will never miss that clutter mess. The other thing that comes back to my heart is that our Heavenly Father is the one that I love with all my heart and soul and that I have asked HIM to clean the clutter from my heart and mind as well.



I have a special request for all of you that read this. My best friend "V" her niece was in a serious car accident yesterday her name is Taylor she has injured her liver, kidney and shattered ankle and foot as well she went threw six hours of surgery yesterday after it happened and is in ICU and still has another surgery that is about four hours long so please pray for her. She is 18 years old. Pray for her family as well!



My heart is also wanting you all to pray for little River my grandson he had this awful cold I am not sure if it is cold or allergies anyway his parents have been in an up roar they were to get a new trailer the end of May and they still don't have it due to rain. They have been out of there old trailer since and have been in a cabin but they are saying they wont get it until July 1 and we are believing for it before then so they can have some sort of stability again.



I want to also mention that my dear sweet friend Linda from Prairie Flower Farms is having another contest for a Gooseberry Cook so come on over to there and get in the contest and see all of the goodies that talented and gifted friend has going on their.





For all that have read this thanks and many blessing to you all!!!
