The Day After...

-



I never ever would have guessed that this election would have been so disturbing for me. I find myself being reminded of 9-11 and that next morning saying to mom, "I can't believe that really happened" Although, those aren't my exact words. But I have been so encouraged as this election has come and gone, there is one "phrase" (I guess you could call it) that I have heard from several people, and they all have said, "On Wednesday morning, no matter who is president, God will still be in charge!" I'm so very encouraged by that! I'm sure many have seen this, but here it is again:


Top Ten Outcomes in this Election

1. The Bible will still have all of the answers.
2. Prayer will still work.
3. The Holy Spirit will still move.
4. God will still inhabit the praise of His people.
5. God will still pour out His blessings upon His people.
6. There will still be God-anointed teaching and preaching.
7. There will still be singing of praise to God.
8. There will still be room at the Cross.
9. Jesus will still love His own.
10. Jesus will still save the lost.

I was thinking of this very list, even though I couldn't remember them all, as I wrote my post last night. Whats said & done.. is done! Even still, it is TRULY COMFORTING to know OUR GOD is in control. We dont have to "vote" for him every year, for he is ALWAYS present & will forever win in the end! That gives me peace! =)

I am right with you, I am heart sick but not as distraught as I imagined I would be. I told John the same thing, we still serve the same God we did Sunday morning, and Monday morning, and Tuesday morning. There is a peace in knowing that nothing has "caught God by surprise" that He raises up kings and leaders not always who we would like or for reasons we like but I believe He does.

Hi Leah!

I am glad that you think enough of my blog to share it with others. I have truly enjoyed blogging over the past year and have found it to be a great encouragement in my walk with HIM.

Blessings,

Here they are guys.  The three of you waiting to see them.  Honestly, I only got a handful of others, so this is what you get... also, sorry, but what you see is what you get as far as pictures of decorations and food. :-/ And for anybody who might be lurking around not knowing what;s up with us lately...  Jon just turned 30 last week, so we (our dear friends and I) decided to throw a surprise party for him.  We pulled it off without him even suspecting.  Everything went really well and we had a good turn out.  He was happy and I was happy. :-) SURPRISE!! Quick family shot first thing... I think others got better ones. Mama made really cool camo/marbled cupcakes and decorated them as one big cake. it made serving up dessert easier! Friends from church More friends and family More family and we were really excited to have some old life long friends come Most gifts were cards and money but the big ticket was his new muzzle loader rifle love the smile

Madelyn's room progress

So I may have already showed you the flower frames, but the other two are brand new. We FINALLY hung the two shelves Saturday. Today, I took the small shelf down and did the green trim and "is for" then put it back up. Im mostly pleased with the outcome even if the green paint is slightly messy and i'll be fiddling with it for weeks to come but... what can you do? It's FINALLY done. Oh, we also hung roller blinds in the girls' rooms finally Saturday too. Their windows have been bare for months because it's incredibly hard to find cordless blinds in the wider size we needed without sacrificing your first born to pay for them. Now I only lack curtains (and rods) and touching up some paint on her dresser and Madelyn's room will be done (for now... we still havent done the toddler bed switch.) P.S. the pictures didnt get the wall color right. It's a pale yellow not off white.

Random Thought

OK, I got this magazine in the mail a couple days ago, but just took the time to actually see what it was last night. They advertise "making luxury affordable" - which of course means that they still charge you outrageous prices, they just let you pay it in smaller installments. This, to me, is more trouble than it's worth anyway even if you don't think about the fact that they (like everyone else in America) are encouraging you to spend more money than you have. The thing that really caught my attention, however, was not the flat screen TVs and computers and living room furniture and mattresses and jewelry. . . Like I said, I looked at this thing last night. It wasn't until I picked it up to throw it away a few minutes ago though, that I realized some of the things I had seen listed! Would you believe they have purses and sunglasses for sale on payment plans?!? This to me is just wrong! I've thought this whole craze was nuts before, but the idea of making a $...
