Quick Check-In

Happy Friday!

There is a lot going on  and I can't share right now but hopefully I will be able to next week!

I am still looking for a home.  I believe in all the looking that God told me to rest and let Him work.  I still peruse the ads but I am trusting God to bring us the place He has for us. Still believing for a home before Thanksgiving. I truly think it is my favorite holiday and I enjoy cooking the entire meal.

A lot of my friends are looking for us to . :)

My brother loves his job! He is living with my parents right now, in their one bedroom duplex, sleeping on the floor with an air mattress BUT you know what?  He told me he is happy. He told me he is happy because he got his attitude right about all of this and that is God.

As a matter of fact, I did too, and so did my sons.  Personally, I have lost almost all of the belongings that I had over the last 12 years and I went through a mourning period over those things but God has done a work on my attitude and He has filled my heart with joy!  It is all Him and none of me! 

Other things we have been doing this week,  watching ELF. ha!   I didn't like this movie the first time I saw it but I do now and we have watched a few other Christmas movies.  I love Christmas and Christmas movies and I am a bit early but that is okay, I can be if  want to. lol

I received a wonderful delight this morning and a provision was met by God. Amen!

Of course it is a football weekend. The VOLS Homecoming! 

The weather has been gorgeous and the moon, my sister called me last night and asked me if I saw the Christmas Vacation moon! lol  It has been HUGE every single night of this week!!!  Hopefully, I will be able to take a picture of it!

Fall is quickly disappearing and I hope I can head to the mountains tomorrow to take pictures of the remaining leaves and take in some Fall fun this weekend!  I think that catches you up for now.

Praying for you!! 

Have a fun weekend!!

Resting..Sort Of

Good Morning!

It is another pretty Fall day and cool.  I love it or as BooMama says, I lurve it!! ;)

I have decided to recharge myself for a few days or longer and take a little bloggy break.

We are deep in the throes of looking for a place to live and I believe God has given us a new direction for the time being.  I will be looking around in our new/old hometown for places to live this week.

Please pray that I hear clearly God's leading and that He will direct me immediately to the place He has picked out for us at this time.  Still believing for God to do something that only He can do.

I better get this day started.

Have a wonderful week and I am praying for God to do amazing and surprising things in your life!!

Giving Thanks

We started a Giving Thanks for 30 days this month on Face Book.  I love that idea!

It came at a good time because the enemy is attacking our family, for 2 weeks now.

I will be honest and say it was hard to have an attitude of thanks this morning.  I won't go into the details but if we cross your mind would you say a prayer for us?

I prayed my way through this morning and thank God for changing my mood and my attitude.

I am thankful for a God who loves us unconditionally.  I am thankful for a God who provides and meets all our needs.  I am thankful that I can be honest with my feelings before God.  I give Him praise!

On to other news:

I want to share a picture of my sister and her grandson from his 1st Halloween.

Nana and Nicholae

Granddaddy and Nicholae at Trunk or Treat

The whole family is crazy about this little boy!

Over the weekend we thought we found a house, we called about a listing and my friend Georgia was talking to the lady and they realized they knew each other. They wanted to rent the house to us but the money to get in was a lot and we couldn't come up with the money.  We are praying and praying for deliverance from where we are at because it has become unbearable. Again, I would appreciate your prayers!

To end this post on a happier note, my football team, GO VOLS, won Saturday night!!! 

Okay, time to tend to our dinner. I am making crockpot fajitas and it smells so good. 

Dinner will be ready right before Dancing with the Stars!!  I am pulling for Donny Osmond to win. 

Those who are old enough, did you have a crush on him way back when?  I had a friend who wore purple socks in honor of Donny. lol   His song Puppy Love is stuck in my head right now. lol  

Have a great evening!!

Fall Fun

I am in a bloggy slump right now and I am not sure what I want to write but I did want to come in here and tell you that I hope you have a great and fun weekend!  This is the last weekend of October. Wow!  I will leave you with a few  fun  Fall pictures of my own and a few I found on photobucket.. Enjoy your Fall festivals, Trunk or Treats, football, or whatever you have planned. :)   I am not sure what we are doing this weekend but I will be back on Sunday to post a re-cap. 

REMINDER:

Don't forget to set your clocks back Saturday night!!

I saw this quote today and I just had to share with you.

 “Sunsets, as beautiful as they are, are a dime a dozen, but you are filled with the breath of heaven, made in God’s image.” ~Joel Osteen


Genesis 1:27


So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Just made me smile. 

You are beautiful!  Don't say you aren't because you are and God says so, period!

That's all. :)

Time...It Flies

Can you believe October is almost over?

It is that time of year where the holidays are coming up fast and that means it is time to change my template. lol

I think I like Thanksgiving as much as I like Christmas.  It has always been a favorite time of the year for me and I love to cook a big dinner on Thanksgiving.

This is the first time in my life that I really don't know what we will be able to do on Thanksgiving.  Will I have my own home to cook in?  If not, how will I handle that?  It is more complicated than what I can share but regardless of that, I still thank God for providing for our family and doing the impossible in our situation! I love this verse:

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Phil 4:6-7


We don't have to be anxious for anything.

If you are facing anxious times I pray God will give you a peace that passes all understanding AND may your holidays be blessed beyond measure!!

Fall Blessings

The weekend is almost over but it has been a good one. 

We babysat my great nephew and I am so mad at myself, I forgot to take my camera. I always take my camera. :(  He has gotten bigger and he is walking better and he was so much fun!  I sing two songs to him and every time I sing them he stops what he is doing and looks at me and smiles the biggest smile. I will put a pic of him of  his birthday. :)

This is where I wished that I had brought my camera.  It had rained on and off most of Friday.  By the time we got to my parents house the sun was out but there were still some clouds around. We went to look at a home and on the way there we saw the biggest rainbow I have ever seen. Oh, I wish that I could have taken a picture for you. The sky was so beautiful and words cannot explain the way God showed off Friday night. I was so excited. lol

Of course with Fall comes allergy problems and I started getting sick this weekend.  I am dragging right now. I have been lazy most of the day.  I did manage to take a few photos this afternoon. Today has been the perfect Fall day. Beautiful blue skies, not one cloud and the colors of the leaves are the prettiest than I have seen in a long time.

Just one thing to say about my VOLS.....heartbreaker.

Anyway, here are a few pictures from today and y'all have a great week and may God show off for you this week!!

Look at the moon.  I loved how this picture turned out.

Just another look. :))

Ahhh....Fall...I love it. :)

PLUS

It is 60 days until Christmas. Can you believe it??

So, I watched a few Christmas movies today.   Charlie Brown Christmas is a favorite.  What is your favorite Christmas movie?
