Open House continued....

Now that you have had a tour of the inside, I

thought you might like to see the front of the house :)

Another view of the front of the house (the

yard is really coming along)

And of course now for the fun part :)

picture of the food table...I am starting to get it

all set up!

Nathan couldn't wait for the guests to arrive

so he is snacking on some of the food....

I made a fruit flag (since the 4th of July is so

close I thought I would do a red/white/blue theme..

This is a Red Velvet Cheese Ball,

it was so delicious!!!!

Since we are having an open house, I thought

it would be fun to make sugar cookies shaped

like a house...

My Mother and Father-in-law got us an

Edible Fruit Basket....Isn't it pretty?

Nathan was being funny while we were

waiting for the guests

(he kept sneaking food)

Here is our friend Kristina and her baby Kobe

playing with some toys :)

We decided to move to the backyard

for awhile and play Holey Board. (I'm not

sure if there is a real name to this game or

if my in-laws made it up)

Nathan and Kristina are watching Bo and Carol

take a turn at the game...(I am busy taking pictures)

Here is Bo and Carol playing Holey Board....

We had a few more people show up but I

got busy talking and forgot to take pictures

of the rest of the group when they

started arriving. Hope you enjoyed

seeing our little party. We had fun showing off

our house and visiting with good friends.

Victory

Exodus 14:14 says "The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace." When you are in the middle of a trial, it feels like it is never-ending. Will we be able to conquer? Will the battle plan actually work? The devil just keeps attacking and the battle feels like it just won't stop. Even when we know the battle plan is solid and we know what to do, it is hard. At times, God tells us to hold our peace and He will fight the battle for us. Do you know how hard it is to just surrender control to God? God has been dealing with my heart lately that we need to start proclaiming the victory over all situations. Over the sickness that we are fighting, over the stressful situations that you may be facing, just proclaim victory over your life. We need to proclaim God's victory. He wrote the battle plan. He knows what your future holds. God even understands the stress from the middle of the battlefield. Vic...

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. What is your impossible situation? What is your I need a miracle situation? I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control. We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth. We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious me...

Broken Glass Jewelry

Do you ever feel like you have been put on a shelf and no one ever truly sees you anymore? Do you feel like your life has been shattered and you aren't sure how to put the pieces back together or even if you want to try and put them back together again? Life can be messy and stressful and difficult, but it can also be beautiful amidst all of the struggles. One of my hobbies is making broken glass jewelry. Do you know the process is very interesting to make this jewelry. First, you have to find some cool china or maybe it's not that cool yet, but you see the potential of what it could be. Have you ever thought that might be what God is looking at when he looks at you? Do you know that God sees so much potential in you that you can't even see at this particular point in time in your life. When we are broken or facing difficulties in life it is hard to feel like we have any value in us, but God sees so much potential when He looks at you. In making...
