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.

Happy Independence Day

For those of you not in the United States, I hope you had a wonderful day also. We like to celebrate the day that made this country and I hope you will rejoice with us.

I've getting ready to go to an evening of fireworks that my Son-in-law and daughter are putting together with a group of friends at my in-laws. I hope it is a really nice time for all those involved. We didn't go to any formal fireworks this year. We just spent a quite time at home. I helped a best friend print off hundreds of pictures Friday evening and Saturday. We had fun looking over her pictures from a recent vacation. She changed some of her special pictures into sepia and mounted them in some special frames that really set them off. They were beautiful and will make really good additions to her living room wall. I wish I had pictures of the frames to share. Here is one of the shots. Don't you just wish . . . See above one of her very well done shots on her vacation.


I hope you are all blessed. God is so good. I feel a need to create and hopefully soon I can post some digital things at the very least and hopefully some actual physical pieces that help me remember - that God inspires me all the time.

Happy 4th of July!

Hi and checking in

I know there will not be much here until I figure out how to add things like tutorials, a link to pictures and more. I am busy getting ready for John's graduation and work is very busy. I did get some things cleared off my desk and that helped. I did download a few updates and now my QB pro isn't working with the other computer. I'll have to repair that and am not sure what happened. But things will come together soon.

I hope you are all having a great week and are specially blessed. I was reminded today that each day - my Lord gives me a present. The present of a new day to use, and bless Him or not - depending on my choices. Prayfully - yours is being a blessing to Him, you and others!!! Many hugs.
