Okay, so I've been meaning to put this on here for awhile, but I never seem to have enough time to sit down at the computer uninterupted for any amount of time. Today seems to be one of those days, so I'm taking advantage of it! ;o) This next entry is something I got from one of the ladies in my Bible Study. She actually got it from a friend of a friend on their blog. I loved it so much, I just had to share it. It will forever be on my mirror so I can look at it every day, many times a day. Here is goes:
I'm a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His and I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My furture is secure. I'm done and finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, or first, or tops, or recognized, or praised, or rewarded. I live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by Holy Spirit power. My face is set. My gait is fast. My goal is heaven. My road may be narrow, my way rough, my companions few, but my guide is reliable and my mission is clear. I will not be bought, compromised, detoured lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice or hesitate in the presence of the adversary. I will not negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meaner in the maze of mediacrity. I won't give up, shut up, or let up unitl I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus, I must give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes. And when He does come for His own, He will have no trouble recognizing me because my banner will have been clear.

Sping Cleaning
Hello there! It's been awhile since I have written, but there has been much going on in my life since then. Since my latest blog, I'm please to announce that I am doing well. God definately met me in that place of sorrow and I'm truely thankful for that. There were lessons I definatley needed to learn, and as hard of a situation that was to go thru, I'm truely thankful that I did. I will say, though, as my would have been due date gets closer, the sadness creeps in a little more, but I know that thru God I can get through anything!
Okay, now that my update is done, I had to show you some of the things that I have been doing since that last entry. As most of you know, I'm not a huge cleaner, but every now and then, I get an urge to clean everything so thoroughly! So, that is what I have been doing. I started with the laundry room (which has been a mess since we moved in 3 years ago)! You can now see my dryer completely and you can see the shelve that is above the washer and dryer. It's amazing! ;) I then moved to my linen closet, which was starting to become so bad you could hardly open the door without something falling out. Now that looks so much better, but b/c it looks so nice, I have a hard time wanting to go in there and take stuff out b/c I'm afraid that I will make it all dirty again! LOL Crazy thought process, I know, but I can't help it. Anyway, the last things that I have been doing have taken awhile to accomplish just b/c I really couldn't get them done all in one day so they were spread out over weeks of time. First, the girls
got a bunk bed. We bought it red, though (b/c it was a smoking deal), and since red isn't really anywhere in the girls' room, I had to paint it white. That was interesting and I will probably not ever do it again! But, it looks decent enough, and thanks to their Grandma and Grandpa, both of them got new bedspreads and such for their birthdays. To finish off their room, I put a bunch
of Tatouge stuff on their walls. My friend used to sell this stuff and so she had a ton at her house that she just gave to me to use. I'm so thankful to her for that b/c without it, the rooms that I did would still not be done and after 3 years of living here, I was itching to have them completed! Anyway, this Tatouge stuff is like a rub on transfer to the wall. It's paint, though, so it doesn't peal off once it's on the wall. It will scratch just like paint and the only way to get rid of it is to paint over it. Everyone that looks at this stuff asks if I hand painted it. I WISH!!!! But, no I did not. So, that gives you an idea of how good this stuff looks. When I finished the girls bedroom, I moved to the nursery/play room. To make a long story a little shorter, I basically made the room look like a white picket fenced garden room. It's not too girly, though, (I don't think) and it basically makes looks like you are outside when you walk into the
room. It turned out so much better than I imagined, I just love this room! The last thing I have just completed last week was putting this Tatouge stuff in the girls' bathroom. Their bathroom is themed with salt water fish, so that is what I put on the walls. My favorite part of the room is when you look in the mirror, towards the back wall of the shower. With the shower curtain closed, it looks like the fish are swimming off the shower curtain and onto the wall. It's very cool.

So, that is what I have been up to these past few months. I have more pictures then I posted here on my facebook account. You should check them out b/c I have a progression of the nursery/play room so you can see if from start to finish. It's pretty cool. Until next time. ;o)
