Getting Over Things

Deut. 4:32 ; Deut. 11:23 Getting over things that are greater and mightier than you. The Word and the Holy Spirit will get you through and causes change. 1) the #1 thing for change is the love of God. God's love empowers us to change. Understand the love of God. God loves you through everything possible. Rom 5:6-9 2) Feeding on God's Word. Rom 12:2 there can be true and lasting change. Be transformed by the renewing of the mind (metemorphisis) A) birthing stage - butterfly eggs are delicate and fragile, they can fall away and get crushed. (baby Christians) B) feeding stage - larvae /catepillar they eat, eat, eat (molting process and the skin sheds off 3 or 4 times) (Christans grow, eat and desire the word of God the process doesn't happen by TRYING...it happens by eating on the Word of God)(christians forget God loves them and they TRY to be good, discouragment sets in) the catepillar isn't trying to be a butterfly...it's just eating and wating. 3) resting stage - cocoon /pupa stage is rest and hidden in the cocoon...feeding on the word of God and His beautiful attributes are forming. Col 3:10 Become imitators of God. 4) adult butterfly - becomes so full of God's word. Rest and feed on God and His Word. Once saved we are always in the feeding and resting stage on the Word of God. We then go into the active stage to become fruitful serving the church and God.

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)

It figures tonight would be a full moon...it's a sad, sad day!

I woke up this morning believing that the Lord wanted me to call an aunt of mine and apologize to her for being judgmental toward her...my flesh didn't "WANT" to do that but nevertheless, I did it. It was tough and the conversation wasn't as I had hoped but she "DID" grant me forgiveness. (Thank you Lord!) Heather and I decided to run over and see my uncle who is in the hospital...we got ALL the way over to St. Louis University Hospital and drove through the entire parking garage for 10minutes trying to locate a parking spot. We finally got parked and walked all the way from one of the furthest spots in the garage to the elevators and then across the cross walk to the hospital. Lo-n-behold the receptionist about came unglued when we didn't stop at her desk because apparently, kids are NOT allowed in St. Louis University Hospital...you have to be at least 18 years old...ugh! She told me I was welcome to leave my 10 year old in the lobby (yeah right!) wh

Vacuum Canning Marshmallows

Image
A few weeks ago I happened upon a steal of a deal at my local Goodwill...I LOVE it when that happens! I snagged a deal on this handy little guy (in black) picture borrowed from Amazon.com (that I must confess I didn't have the SLIGHTEST idea what to do with until I hit some youtube videos) Got him for $9.95...I know a steal of a deal when I see it! I bought him for the vacuum part not so much the sealing part. I then purchased the jar attachments and hose so I could begin dry canning some goods that have been hanging out in bags for quite some time. Hope you enjoy this fun little video of our marshmallow canning: Happy Friday!
