Off to D.C.

This last week has been a bit crazy!!! End of school, fieldtrips, programs, signs for VBS, etc.....have kept me busy - add to that, a little girl recovering from strep throat! So I am looking forward to a slower pace come next week - but for now - I am off to D.C. in the morning! Flying out at 7:00am to go do some design work!!! I am excited about the trip and the new design project and I am looking forward to seeing both my sisternlaws :) but I will miss my family...say a little prayer for all of us! See you next week! Have a great weekend!

P.S. Thanks for lunch today dad, Olivia and I will take a visit from you anytime! Love you!

This face...

This face...everyone says she is my "mini-me"...I will have to agree! She is feeling sickly this afternoon so please say a prayer that she will get rest and feel better soon! Hope you all enjoy the beautiful weather (at least here in East TN)

A prayer for Ashley!

The non-profit group that I work with, Kingdom Design Ministries, has done some wonderful rooms over the last few years! More than that, they have changed the lives of these children in tremendous ways! I just wanted to post a link about one of the young ladies who received a room a few years back...her name is Ashley Manes! A couple of months ago my friend Missy, who founded KDM, emailed me that Ashley's TNcare funds were being cut - meaning her father would have to pay for her medical care "out of pocket"! This is a young lady who NEEDS $20,000 in medical care...they depend on TNcare for those funds! Please view this video link and say a prayer that her case would be approved and her medical coverage reinstated! http://www.wsmv.com/video/23325640/

Beautiful Friday!

It is 8:06am and I am waiting for my youngest to wake up - yeah, that's strange...but we had a late baseball game last night!!! So I thought I would take the opportunity to post a few beautiful images for Friday!

Happy Friday!

The Next Five Minutes

Rain, rain go away!

Well it is a dreary Monday indeed...my husband and I woke up to a leak in our bedroom around 3a.m. (we've been waiting 7 weeks for a new roof). After my husband crawled into the attic to see if he could contain it...I got on my knees and prayed "God you are the only one who can stop this leak or stop this rain". Well the rain did not stop, but the leak did - and David had no explanation as to why...God is good! It is a reminder that he cares for us on a very practical level and we can place our trust in him! I couldn't go back to sleep...I kept thinking about all those people in Tennessee who have been affected by the massive amounts of rain over the weekend - some even loosing their lives! So I am sending up prayers for all of those people today and thanking God that he is covering our house with his hand until the rain goes away!!!
