Putting Things together and decorating

Well, we finally have everything in our house and now it

is time to put everything together and organize and decorate....

First, we put the kitchen table in the dining room and

started with my corner hutch behind it....

We put the bed together in the guest room....

Here is Nathan with his first home improvement project :)

He is trying to get the washer and dryer hooked up so we

can use them....

They are finally put against the wall where they belong...

Nathan didn't want his picture taken, but he is the one

measuring to make sure the pictures look right on the wall

It was fun trying to decide where to put all of our pictures

and how we wanted to decorate everything.

These are on the wall as you enter the front door.

Don't they look good here? I am modeling the pictures for you :)

Here is Nathan measuring the wall to

see where to hang up our mirror, he wants it to

be centered...

Isn't this a cool mirror? We got it as a wedding present.

I decided that I wanted to do my kitchen/dining room

in a coffee theme for a while. The picture on the left

says "Coffee is a pleasure, Good friends are a Treasure"

I just thought this was a cool saying and I love the

picture on the right that just says Coffee :)

Here is a side view so you can see all of it. I added

two mugs that say Latte and Cappuccino...

Here is a picture of the dining room. It is starting

to come together nicely!

Nathan is trying to figure out how to hang

the television on the wall. He has all of his tools

out and is ready to start working on it....

He was working hard on getting it all

up on the wall.....

Here is a picture with it up on the wall. Now it

just needs the final touches and it will be done.

More pictures to come as we get the rooms

finished and decorated...Hope you are enjoying our

journey as much as we are :)

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?" I remember being taught this when I was pretty young. Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything. In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with. Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." Unfortunately, this saying is not true either. Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other. There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below. It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Walk with God

In my current Bible study, we are reading in Genesis. At the beginning it is talking about how God comes down in the cool of the evening and talks with Adam and Eve. Can you imagine that? God literally comes and walks and talks with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Then in Genesis chapter 6 verse 8 states "Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord." and then in verse 9, it ends by saying "Noah walked with God." Think about that for a minute. In a world where everything is going crazy and God is questioning why he made the world because there is so much evil in it that He is going to send a flood and destroy the earth. Can you imagine the world is as evil as it gets but the Bible states "And Noah walked with God." That is such a profound statement. Can you say that about your life? No matter the chaos in the world or what is happening around you, people look at your life and all they can say is "And Valerie walked ...

Trust in God

Today while watching Superbook with my children the theme of the episode was to trust in God. "Trust in God and He will show the way." Do we really understand what it means to trust God? Can we truly comprehend this statement? It's easy when things are going our way. It can be easy when things aren't going our way, but life is still going well. However, do you still trust God when life is hard? When everything seems to be going wrong in life? Do you trust God through the hard stuff? There is an old time song that says "The God on the mountain is still God in the valley. When things go wrong, you know that He will make them right. The God of the good times is still God in the bad times and the God of the day, is still God in the night." Think about the words to that song. No matter what, God is still God. He still has control over the outcome. Recently, my mom and I were talking an...
