  •    I am reminded so many times how short life is, with only acouple days left to change the clocks back, the leaves are falling fast, the list could go on how fast time goes, or maybe this is just getting older;(  Life has been busy here like everyone else, esp. with the holidays coming up fast my list just got a mile longer!! But  each day i want to give myself to God and do His work, that mine can wait.. I guess God showed me this when we had the foster children this summer. They were a hand full but sooo rewarding. God gave me the grace to take care of them in His time and way,, We had a 7yr old girl, 3 boys, ages ~ 2,1,& 6months.. and we havent had any since.. that was also a big adjustment to our lives..   Another big one was Mike bought a Business "Hoover Roofing INC" that also made for some adjustments in our Home and probably still more to come.IMG_1337 Another blessing is that Mike has Alot of work and in this econamy and we are very grateful that God is blessing us in this way!  Now you know who to get if you need a new roof :) 

      School is going good for the most part.. Mike added a new room downstairs for school, scrapebooking, etc. so now we are excited to have school in there this school yr. Of course playing outside is a highlight for the children and right now trying to get every nice day in before the snow blows!IMG_1343 IMG_1340 IMG_1355 IMG_1358 IMG_1345 Did i mention that Fall is my favotite time of yr... Fire going in the fireplace,with a cup of Hot Apple Cider,making carmal Apples for art and the reward of eating them, plus just enjoying Gods beautiful paint brush across the trees!!!IMG_1338 Im so excited to see what Gods has for our family in the next months, and year to come!! I want to enjoy all he has given me in the past yrs.of my life.. Esp. my husband and children.. 

            Thanks for stopping by,, Gods blessing to you!! IMG_1336

  • God is in Control of our Lives...

      Life has been very busy in our household!!  The month of Feb. we got alot acomplished and more on the list to do..  Mike is making me a BIG room downstairs. Its gonna be school room, sewing room,and scrapebooking room!! Cant wait till its all done. Plus he's trying to finish the bathroom too. Don't no if we will get it all done this summer or not but at least its started     One of my goals this yr. was to finish my scrapebooking thats been almost two yrs. since i did anything. Well i got over 60 pages done!!  So glad thats done and now im sewing for Brianna & I.  My girl is growing way to fast out of her dresses.. Right now im on number 3 and that will be it for awhile. (I hope)  And on other news the state has our papers for foster parents so Lord willing we will be licened by the end of April!! Exciting but kinda scary..

    ****************************************************************************************

       Well our fears have come to past!!  The mother of our baby that we were gonna adopt has backed out   So my big question is WHY GOD??  I dont need to now why all this is happening to us, its just this was nothing but a miracle and i thot God was giving us this child for a reason because of how it all took place.  God is still good and i dont want to question Him.. He sees the big picture. Right now all i can do is trust God that this is all happening for a reason.. God has said that His plan is not too harm or hurt me and that He is with me every step of the way, He will never leave me when im going thru things i don't understand, that is so comforting..    I am glad though that all this happened before the baby is born. Again God knew what i could handle!!!!      

         The signs of spring are here!!  Heard the spring peepers the other night, which i love to hear!!!   Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!!!
