On my heart Friday

Linking up with  Casey today!!

Have you prayed for the tornado victims in the deep south? 

Yes? Pray again!

Totally breaks my heart.

It hits so close to home to hear friends and family talk about people they know who lost their homes.

While I'm grateful that my friends and family in those areas are safe and homes can be rebuilt,

they still have a long road ahead of them. 

Many of those people lost loved ones, they have an even longer road ahead.

My prayer for them is that they will not doubt our Saviors love. 

Living in tornado alley most of my life I have spent many evenings in closets during tornado season. This year has been wild. A few years ago a "horrible" tornado swept through downtown Ft.Worth. Windows in skyscrapers were blown out, houses were gone and neighbors of ours lost their roof. That was such a tiny thing in comparison, but I remember how scary that was. 

I truly can not imagine opening my front door to see all the damage I have seen on TV, MUCH less watching the walls around me literally fade away.

Though the fig tree does not bud

   and there are no grapes on the vines,

though the olive crop fails

   and the fields produce no food,

though there are no sheep in the pen

   and no cattle in the stalls,

 yet I will rejoice in the LORD,

   I will be joyful in God my Savior.

Habakkuk 3:17-19

Love so amazing!!

These little gems will be in the DFW area May 1st. Aren't they precious? You can go "like" them on facebook here and see some of there other videos. I love this song! One of my many favorites.  It gives me chills thinking about what Christ did for us and what Easter is all about.




"He became sin, who knew no sin. That we 
might become His righteousness. He humbled Himself, and He carried the cross....love so amazing. Jesus Messiah, Name above all names."

........................... Happy Easter!! ............................

Movin' On!

I am so very behind on blogging! I have been horrible!! I know!!

We are in the moving process and things are just CRAZY!! We're moving from a small town in west Texas to the big city! There are some things I have missed about DFW (I grew up in Ft.Worth), but west Texas captured my heart (after some time). I met some of the most precious friends there. They will be missed, but I plan on making visits! My husbands parents live there,so it's not a total goodbye!

I've decided instead of being sad about the situation I'm just going to be thankful for the experience I had and the friendships I made. My prayer is that those friendships will not fade. It does take effort, but these friendships are so dear to my heart!!!

I have a lot to learn!!! I'm not good at these kinds of changes! I'm not good at trusting that new is sometimes better. Why fix what isn't broken??

Life Made Lovely Monday

Is it time for a vacation yet??

That's what I'm dreaming of today.

With all that has been going on I think it will be a while before we get another one.

Bummer!!!

Oh well!

I love reliving our adventures through photos!

Here are some of our favorite places we've visited.

We love to travel!!

We've visited Music City a few times. It was where we honeymooned and the hometown of some sweet relatives.

Grand Canyon- absolutely breath taking. If you haven't seen it you are missing out.

Gods creativity is at work!!

NYC- quick trip visiting friends. I'd love to go back when we have money to spend. lol! It was expensive.

California! I Loved the culture there. I'd love to go back, but I think the traffic stressed the sweets out a bit.

Hoover Dam- Another one of God's creative places.

Loved it! It was SO hot! I think our car read 114!!

This was also a very quick trip! Can't say much! Cheap Hotel deals!

I never knew Wyoming could be so cool! My favorite part was all the wild horses. Gorgeous!!

I deleted my last post, so if you read it and wonder where it went. Or if you clicked on the link up from Casey's page and can't find it that's what's up.

As it turns out I'm not ready to get vulnerable.

After today I'm not sure that I ever will be.

I'm debating on keeping this blog.

I've learned that the only one you can trust is our savior.

You can't trust people.

I've been deceived. I feel stupid for thinking I could trust.

I realize people will let you down, but I have a hard time being betrayed over and over.

I have a hard time when I realize I've taken a huge risk to open myself up to someone only to find out everything I shared was taken lightly and shared with others.

Life made lovely

Have you checked out Handmade with a purpose?

Several different bloggers are joining together to use their talents to give to some of the charities that are close to their hearts.

Randomness

On the move...again!! I'm a professional packer now!

Need help packing?? I know what works and I definitely know what doesn't work.

If you haven't heard, we're moving again. I'll give you more info later. As for now, I can't really divulge details, because quite frankly I don't know details.

My first wreath. Ehhhh...it's alright!

I started painting jeans for little girls. These are one of the 1st pairs. Go Rangers!!! BTW... you can't really tell, but all those dots you see is glitter.

Just a recent project. I have had so much fun creating custom orders. I'm so grateful for the people who have encouraged me to use my gifts. Too often I get discouraged and sit on talents the Lord has given me for too long. I'm always comparing myself to other creative people. Somedays I think I'm just not good enough and am crazy to think people would actually want my stuff. I get discouraged when I see someone's work that is far better than mine. My prayer is that I will become the person God wants me to be. No more, no less.
