Where I have been

Some of you may be wondering where I have been lately. There have been a few things keeping me busy, one of which was my birthday. We have also had some amazing fall weather, which has kept us outside a lot more as well.

A week ago today, I turned the big 3.0.  At the beginning of the year, I was not looking forward to my birthday but then my aunt gave me a different perspective, and after that I was REALLY looking forward to it!

I was also looking forward to Saturday, because I was getting a makeover! My sisters took me out and totally made me over as a birthday gift to me. Man, am I glad they did. With me being a stay-at-home mom, I really didn’t do much with my appearance. I just didn’t see the need, but now I see what was missing. I will share more about my girls day out, once I have the before and after pictures to show you.

God also has been teaching me, so I’ve taken this week to continue to get to know Him better and learn what He wants to teach me.

On a different note, Sunday was the first time that I taught Sunday school by myself. Not only was I the only teacher, I had 2 extra girls to teach. I was very nervous. I went over my lesson one last time on Friday (because Saturday was a busy day and I wouldn’t have time) and really felt that I was ready. Then Sunday morning, when the girls were all sitting there watching me and waiting, all my thoughts and planning went right out the window. I couldn’t remember anything! I was able to read the lesson to them and once I was about halfway in, I started getting more relaxed and was able to teach them better. I think (hope) that they got something out of the lesson, I know I did! This was a great learning experience for me and also a little taste of what it will be like to be the only teacher. I am still thoroughly enjoying teaching Sunday school and I am learning a lot!

How has your week been?

Photo post

So, I was gonna write a nice long post today, but then I remembered that I had a bunch of cute pictures in my camera just waiting to be displayed. So, enjoy… I couldn’t think of a cute saying for each picture, cause It would take me a long time. I’m just not witty like that. But, I hope you enjoyed the pics! Have a great day!!

Loving on others

As most of you know, we sponsor 1 child financially and we correspond with 2 more. This has been such a blessing for us. This has really opened our eyes to  what life is like in other countries and also to how much love we can feel for someone we have never met. These 3 boys are so special to us and it will be a sad time when our correspondence will have to end. But this is not the only way to love on others. This is only one of the few. It could be helping the homeless, either by serving at your local soup kitchen or even as simple as dropping a few groceries into the helping hands bin at your grocery store. It may seem like a very small act to you but it could be life changing for someone else. or it could be as simple as a… It could even be as easy as letting someone cut in front of you, either in the store line or in your car on the road. Loving on others is so easy that most of us seldom realize how many opportunities we have each and every day to do so! What ki...
