Meeting Jenn / Word for Wednesday

1st Corinthians 13:5 " It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs"





This is Kimmy @ Homesteaders Heart, Me, and Jenn @ Through the Storms of Life. We met at Kimmy's house, had some lunch, went to the beach and then came back and ate some more! Fun!

This is Josh, Kimmy and Jeffrey. Josh and Kimmy are posers.....well, let's just say they like to pose! lol Jeffrey was like "get me"! Too cute!

This is Kelsey and Josh and in the background is Brad and Jay. Brad and Jay were in a deep discussion about the difference in Bible's. They both like the New King James or King James Version. Kelsey and Josh were not in deep discussion about anything. lol

Yes, there is such a thing as really loving your blog friends! It's happening more and more isn't it ladies? Can you feel God doing something with us Christian gals? He is bringing us closer together and knitting us together and I believe He wants us to use our voices through this tool called the internet which used to scare me to death! Jenn and her husband, Roger, and son Ty are fabulous! They are lovin the Lord and I hope they are having a terrific day today!

Blessings to you today .... great big hugs to you from Florida!

Blue Monday

Happy Monday! It's Blue Monday!! Gosh, I haven't posted for Blue Monday in a while and I have missed it. Guess what I'm going to throw at you? Yup, some great pictures of the lake and the fun we had on Kimmy's birthday! Thank you SmilingSally for hosting us!



These pictures are in such reverse order....this was our dinner after we went out on the lake. It's a chicken stir fry that apparently Kimmy is not afraid to eat at my house. Notice the blue can of cashews....this picture totally qualifies!

This was the yummy ice cream cake we had for dessert...there's no blue here....but the cake was marvelous! lol

This is the prettiest picture of my friend, Kimmy and her husband, Brad. We were all so relaxed after dinner and dessert....we were just lounging around for a little bit before we had a little jam worship session.

This picture doesn't qualify either but I had to post it....Kimmy looks like she is wearing the world's largest tiara...that's really a mirror behind her head. This is her and Kathy hamming it up. It's a rare moment, they hardly ever do it...so it's good we got this shot! lol Oh mercy!!

This is Josh and Kelsey riding on my sister, Candy's Sea Doo. This picture qualifies in every way. Beautiful blue sky ... Beautiful blue eyed boy ... Gorgeous girl totally decked out in blue...Sea Doo is blue...yep, this one is definitely a keeper.....I love this picture.

This is Brad skurfing. He jams! Definitely some blue going on here!

Kathy and her husband Mike on the Sea Doo. Lots of smiles and lots of blue!

Oh look, it's Josh and Kelsey again....and lots of blue. Hmmm....

This is us loading up to go back out after we got rained out after being in the lake for about 10 minutes. Our spirits weren't dampened though. Lots of blue....

Told ya I'm going backwards....this is the rain storm coming at us. Look at my Josh...he is such a great big cousin. That baby loves him. We had lightning popping around us too so we needed to get out of the water.

This is Candy, my sister, and Brendan, my nephew (love that boy)....and there's some mighty big clouds....yes, they stormed us out for a bit. But we went back to the house and ate our lunch and then headed back out and had a fabulous day.

Hope you have enjoyed the blue. I've enjoyed sharing it with you. Hope your Monday is filled to the top with the richest of blessings from the Lord.

Big hugs to you!

In My Arms

I am dedicating this post to my friend Kathy and Mike and their son Cris today. Cris is hurting and therefore they are hurting. However, I want them to know that each one of them are being prayed for and God is so ever present and they are all being cradled "In His Arms". He is so faithful.

I love you, Kathy and Mike.....and Jesus loves you so much more. He is holding Cris and Lindsey in His arms today and always!

Big hugs!!

I want to hold His hand

May the Lord bless you today!

Word for Wednesday

Psalm 22:5 " They cried to You and were saved; in You they trusted and were not disappointed".

Are you feeling down? Cry out to Jesus.....you will not be disappointed...you can trust Him.

Are you feeling unsure? Cry out to Jesus...you will not be disappointed...you can trust Him.

Are you feeling anxious? Cry out to Jesus...you will not be disappointed..you can trust Him.

Are you feeling betrayed? Cry out to Jesus...you will not be disappointed...you can trust Him!!!

You will never be disappointed when you cry out to Jesus....you can trust Him!! Amen

May you know this today. May it comfort you. Wrap yourself in this truth!
Blessings and hugs from me to you!

Yesterday, my sister and her family arrived. I have not seen her since I have been in the hospital. Actually, I was quite emotional when I saw all of them. I remember calling all of them from the hospital and talking to my nephews before my procedure but I was pretty heavily medicated. Seeing them was just one more reminder of God's amazing love for me and how He never let go of me. I stand in awe of that and I hope you know He will never let go of you.

Enjoy your Sunday today whatever you may be doing. We are celebrating Kimmy's birthday and playing on the lake and then I'm going to try to cook her dinner (oh my stars, can you feel my hives breaking out already?....I mean I'm cooking Kimmy and Kathy dinner and they both have a cooking blog on top of their usual blog...Oy Vay...Kristi can you feel my pain? lol Anyone?) Well, if dinner doesn't come out wonderful, I know the ice cream cake I made from scratch will be a good dessert! lol
And I can make good coffee....they like that. Hopefully, they'll be too tired from the lake to notice the food!

God bless you today! As you look at the pictures on the video, if you are in a stormy season of life....look especially hard at how tightly Jesus is holding you. He will not let go! Praise Him!
