Chicken coop fun!

This is a fairly new cutter file I made to go on a cupcake. My first one of this kind! I have a friend on blackcatus.com that has a few roosters learning how to crow. Funny what will inspire us!

So thankful

My life is always eventful, but for the most part - really boring. I am so blessed though and had to share. We were without a vehicle entirely. 2 cars decided to stop working. It was awful and sudden. But God has provided an older, very low mileage car and I feel so blessed. My father found the car in Florida. Even then - a lady followed him to the bathroom and asked if he was selling the car. Praise the Lord for his provision.

Thanks for listening. I have to learn to blog more and I just can't seem to think, that my little life is of much interest except to me or my family.

Much love my friends.

Sweet Baby Girl

Thank you all for praying. Sweet Baby Girl, went home to be with the Lord on her mom's birthday. There wasn't a donor heart available and she was unable to continue on life support.

I sure appreciate your prayers. I would ask that you continue to pray for this dear couple and their families. I'm not going to be on much longer today. I've got some things I need to make. Thank you so much.

Sweet Baby

I would post a picture, but due to privacy of the couple and the sweet little girl, I'm not giving out as much information as I would. They tried to take her off of life support and she wasn't strong enough. They are going to try again on Monday. I will say, there is a miracle needed. If they aren't able to do that. . . Well let's just say it will be even more dire. Please join me in prayer for this little girl to be completely healed. To have to make decisions like this as a parent has to be just the hardest.
We have been through losing our first son. God was gracious ad brought that kind of peace that only comes when we really need it. I learned just how faithful God was - more so than I would have except that He asked us to trust Him through it all.
She is especially on my heart and I pray that you will join me in the prayer that she may be completely healed!
Thanks so much dear friends.

Praying for Her

Ladies - please continue to pray for the baby I spoke about earlier. She is so little. Our God is so BIG. The great thing is that he is also in the miracle business. Please, as he calls her too your mind, pray for her and her parents. This is the hardest week so far in their lives. We pray for complete healing. A good friend of mine said:

"Sometimes God calms the storm . . ." No matter what He does, He always loves us so much that he will also bring peace through the storm. I'm amazed at how He has brought this child to mind to the prayer partners as it is needed. We begin praying and then peace comes when we know we can actually - not stop praying, but not actually just agonize over it.

Thank you so much for joining us in this. May you be blessed at the honor we have in just going before the throne, and going on behalf of these beautiful new parents and sweet baby.

Blessings to you all!

Prayer for a beautiful baby.

Everyone, my heart is heavy right now. There is a dear friend and her family, I've known online on a scrapbooking list for 10 years, that needs prayer right now.



Her beautiful daughter and her new husband just had a beautiful baby girl. The baby is in a critical - no dire - condition and needs prayer for complete healing, strength and so much more. She is a newborn. Daddy is due to leave for Iraq and mommy is not really strong with complications during pregnancy. This family is so scared and needs to know the strength that only God can give. We are asking for complete healing for them both.



Would you please pray. I know that God hears us all and I so appreciate you praying for them. God bless you all.
