Short and Sweet

Hey everyone! Just a short post for my Scripture Saturday!
Psalms 85:6 KJV
Wilt thou not revive us again : that thy people may rejoice in thee?

With our Revival right around the corner, I guess my mind is wandering more and more to the topic of asking the Lord to revive ME!! Oh Lord, start this revival in my heart and life! If there has ever been a time when we need to be on fire, it is NOW! I believe with all my heart that Jesus is coming VERY soon! Revival is not a ten day meeting with special workers, it is an inward renewing of your own fervor in your walk with the Lord. I have told the Lord that I am open to do ANYTHING to see Him come in a very real way. I long to see the Lord move in the glorious ways as He has in the past. As far as I am concerned, the fire doesn't fall nearly enough. I need to be on my prayer bones more. The ones' following me have the right to see God move in mighty ways just as I have seen Him move. It is MY responsibility to be prayed up and on fire before I get to church that way I am an open vessel for the Lord to work through. As I have read over this Scripture the more truth I see in it. If we are revived, or alive in Christ, we will have JOY, and if we have JOY then we will have strength to withstand the troubles of life. Isn't this verse awesome?!?!
I am looking forward to seeing what the Lord has in store for us not only in this Revival but throughout the year!

Enough for now... I will post more soon!

It's time for a...

Fun School Day!

Last Thursday, was a hilariously funny day at school! Everyone was laid back and we had a great time! The special food was pigs in a blanket. Aunt Kathy and I made them and we appointed Mam-ma as our official server!

Aunt Kathy getting everything ready so we can munch on our lunch...

I think this is my favorite pic of the day. Mam-ma and Pap-pa neither one had any idea that I took this pic! :) They were laughing together and I zoomed in and with a quick snap of my camera, I had this cute moment captured!

I brought in a cake from DQ as a surprise. This pic gives a better view of the whole cake, while the next gives a close up of the writing. and design on top.


Nathan had just finished eating ice cream cake when I snapped this pic!

From here on things basically go down hill! LOL!!! Luke thought it was the funniest thing that his tongue turned blue after eating the blue frosting, and wanted me to take his pic. so you know what happened ALL the little ones wanted pics taken of their odd colored tongues. LOL! I think Jen wants to be a "spoon-billed" bird when she gets big! Kids are SO funny!




I hope you have enjoyed seeing a little of ONE of MANY of our crazy school days!! Keep Smilin' everyone!!!

Scripture Saturday!

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
Jeremiah 29:13 KJV


MY PRAYER

God, give me eyes that I might see
The work that can be done by me;

God, give me ears that I might hear
The cry of those who need me near.

God, give me lips that I might speak
Comfort and peace to all that seek.

God, give me a mind that I might know
How to help those who need me so.

God, give me hands that I might do
Some large or simple task for You;

God, give me a prayer that I might pray
Thy help and guidance every day.

And this one thing, all else above;
God, give me a heart that I might love.

Vincent Magro-Attard

I hope this poem has stirred your soul, as it has mine! I am asking the Lord to help me to see the people around me who need any help that I might be able to give! So many people need someone to care, and if I, as a Christian don't, who will? It is my responsibilty to pray and reach my hand out to those in need. Jesus has set a perfect example, so all I have to do is allow Him to pattern my life after His own.I love the Lord and want nothing more than to be like Him!

Keep Smilin' cause' Jesus Loves You!

Quote of the Day: If God had a wallet, your picture would be in it.

Ice and Frost in Sunny Sebring!

These pictures are of our backyard, and the grass of a new subdivision on the way to school. We had a hard freeze on Wednesday night/Thursday morning. IT WAS FREEZING!! lol! OK all you northeners can laugh! It was about 32 degrees Wed. night when I got off work about 10:45. I was about turn into a popsicle on the way to the car!smile!
Everyone was laughing at me on Thursday for taking so many pics of the frost and freeze. Oh well, I am a floridian and it is a BIG thing to me when we have this cold of weather! smile!
I am camping at Manatee State Park, right now. We have been here since Thursday evening and have had a completely restful time! It has been wonderful! My Dad came last night around 6:00 and so we have enjoyed a little time with him. I LOVE camping!!
