It's another Faithful Friday post... And am I so glad to share this with all of you. This week we lost a very special person to us. Papa has went home to be with our Lord and Savior. And as we set out to make the journey across several states, to be with family and all, it had me thinking..... I know kinda hard to believe... But it did.... I'm so thankful that God's promise tells us we have ever lasting life, so that I know he is in Heaven and I will one day join him too. Did you know you can be saved and ensure you have a peaceful pain free everlasting life? And you will be rejoicing with our Savior? How awesome is that?

So I wanted to share with everyone, incase someone doesn't know this, just how to be saved and know you too will one day be rejoicing with the King of Kings. So I am going to share a couple of scriptures and then a prayer.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have ever lasting life.

Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.

Eph 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith.

Psalms 37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

So see, it's that simple! God gave his son Jesus, so that we who believe in him are SAVED. Therefore Christ is in us! And no matter what we do, as long as we keep believing, he will never turn his back and push us out! What a beautiful and wonderful blessing this is for us!!! It makes me so happy!!!

It's simple, it really is! And all you have to do is believe and ask Jesus to come into your heart.

Here's a prayer to pray, if you haven't ever asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, and wish to do so.

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you in believing that you are our creator, and that you gave your son, Jesus Christ for me. That he died for our sins on the cross at Calvery. He then rose from the dead. Your word tells us in Romans 10:9 that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, then we shall be saved. So Father, I believe that Jesus died for my sins and was raised from the dead by you. I ask that Jesus come to my heart, and I accept he is my personal savior. I thank you father for this gift of eternal life. I think you Jesus for being my personal savior. That so I shall be saved. In your Son's precious Holy name, Amen.

It's really that simple! I am not asking you to follow a particular religion, instead I am asking and hoping you will find a relationship with our Lord and Savior, so that you too shall have an everlasting eternal life. If you would like to talk more about this, message me and I'll be glad to visit and pray with you.

May you all have a beautiful blessed weekend!

Hugs and Blessings,

Faithful Friday

It's Faithful Friday!! I have been really missing blog land and sharing and keeping up. I know that I have had a lot of adjusting and things going on, but I plan to work really hard at being better at this. Not only because I miss all of you, but for a better family journal.

On to the topic of this post... I am so glad to share in Faithful Fridays, and if you want to join in, it would be great. You can click on the button and it will take you to our awesome host.

I thought I'd share about what I have been up to... I have been working hard at being a Virtues Woman! I am striving hard to be a Proverbs 31 Woman. To be the best wife and mother that I can be.

Not that I didn't before, but since we moved (New Years was started in a new home to us). I have tried even harder to be better and happier at doing my chores and all the tasks of a wife and mom. Many ask me why I take the role of being a stay at home mom so serious, because I wanted this job for many many years. It was literally my dream job! I wanted to be like my momma. And when I think of a Proverbs 31 Woman, I think of her.

So I share with you today, the 3 areas that I have taken to another level in how I am striving to be better.

Being a better happier wife. ~ Marriage – A Virtuous Woman respects her husband. She does him good all the days of her life. She is trustworthy and a helpmeet. (Proverbs 31: 11- 12, Proverbs 31: 23, Proverbs 31: 28, 1 Peter 3, Ephesians 5, Genesis2: 18)

Being a better mom. ~ Mothering - A Virtuous Woman teaches her children the ways of her Father in heaven. She nurtures her children with the love of Christ, disciplines them with care and wisdom, and trains them in the way they should go. (Proverbs 31: 28, Proverbs 31: 26, Proverbs 22: 6, Deuteronomy 6, Luke 18: 16)

Being a better home keeper in many many ways. ~ Homemaking – A Virtuous Woman is a homemaker. She creates an inviting atmosphere of warmth and love for her family and guests. She uses hospitality to minister to those around her. (Proverbs 31: 15, Proverbs 31: 20 – 22, Proverbs 31: 27, Titus 2: 5, 1 Peter 4: 9, Hebrews 13: 2)

(like keeping a cleaner house all the time, but also doing the chores with a smile and a purely happy heart. Staying on task instead of being so easily side tracked. Keeping our routine has made a big difference. I don't know about you, but once I get behind, I become overwhelmed and then before I know it, I get discouraged. This was the cycle and Satan kept it going. But now I am not letting him win, and I am following God's word and doing all I can do to fulfill the job he has blessed me with.)

I found this list to be so helpful and it's easily lined out. You can find it here, 10 Virtues of the Proverbs 31 Woman.

By no means am I perfect, but the closer I grow my walk with Christ, the more I want to be a real Proverbs 31 Wife and Mom! I want others to see what a joy this job is! I want it to be used to be a true testimony of his!

I have began to follow many other virtues to help improve our family. It is making a big difference, with the harder I yearn to be that, the happier and smoother things are going in our home! Not to say they were bad before, but I can for sure tell it's at a new better level.

Hugs and Blessings,

Happy Birthday Lil K (Nov)

 

 

Happy 4th Birthday Baby Girl!! K Bugs, we are so proud of you and love you always and forever! You are precious to us!!! (Nov 2011)

 

She wanted a rainbow cupcake, so Momma made her this cake for her birthday. And Lil E added a piece of Chocolate Candy to the cupcake as a special treat for her sister. It was a piece she broke off her candy bar to share with her sister, and to make her cake even more special.

 

Every Birthday they get to pick what they want for dinner, and she wanted spaghetti. So I decided to make it colored and fun! :) So that is what we did.

Lil E is such a good big sister, she even colored her a picture of Dora, Lil K’s fav to decorate her gift.

 

Then It was birthday picture time. :)

Hugs and Blessings,
