Kids...

I've noticed a few things lately...it seems if a couple doesn't "HAVE" kids...they tend to NOT want kids around. I can understand this as MOST peoples children aren't well behaved or they don't have good control over their kids. I don't know about you but I'm DEFIANTLY noticing in our society that kids are treated more like a burden than a "Gift" from God. I grew up in the Assembly of God arena and kids went to EVERYTHING...I don't think there was an event at church that didn't involve the kids...this day and age you never know "WHAT" you can take your kids to...there's ages set on teas, game nights, a "no your kids aren't invited" to showers and weddings...gee wiz! The word of God says that children are a gift from God and a blessing...what an unfortunate time to be a kid in our society!!!

So I'm re-opening my Bloggy Tour of Homes for Danielle @ Transforming Home 's Blog Home Party. These photos are from 2004, 2005, 2006 and most of the home is still the same although a bit more cluttered these days. :( My daughter's room has changed so I'll see if I can locate a picture of that for here. As you can see I'm a big fan of color and Uppercase Living!!! :)(Scroll over the slide pictures to see room info)

The Run…It’s Done!!!

Image
I was emotional leading up to the event and I really thought it was going to be an emotional day for me but it really wasn’t and that was a great relief! I’m trying to stop my mind thinking that healing needs to look like this or that (that I needed to be all emotional for the healing/past of this event to take place). I feel that God had me run for a reason...I’m still trying to process what that reason is. (Maybe there’ll be a “Run for Raped & Sexually Abused Victims”) Nevertheless, I know that God had me run “For such a time as THIS”!!! Maybe you would continue to pray for me that God would reveal anything He wants to from this, that I’ll hear his voice just as clearly as I did when He told me to “Choose to Run”. The run itself was difficult but good. I marveled at the symbolism of the run compared to my true life event – there were 13 miles to symbolize my 13 years before being raped and .10 miles to run to the police station /the end...13.1 never felt SO good!!! (Freedom!!!)

A Little Snow Day Organizing...

Image
It's funny how I don't wake up with a list to "do" these things...they just happen out of the ordinary. Laura over at Org Junkie is hosting 52 weeks of organizing. When she started with the first week I said no way...I can't possibly participate in that this year...well - the people that linked up on week #3 got me enticed to 'organize' and organize I did. When my mom died I got a few of her gadgets...and I have my own gadgets already so I really was running out of "room" for all these gadgets. (the Waffle Maker, George Foreman, Crock Pot, Bread Maker, Toaster, Food Saver, and Blender...yikes - that's alot of gadgets...I have more but they are stored away:) The goal was to get all of these gadgets except the crock pot and toaster stored away. While I didn't get pics of these out and about on my counter...they all now have their own home and my counter is BEAUTIFUL. First, I started with the pantry, in hopes of getting some of the can
