When you listen he will talk!

My husband and I have been trying to find a church we like up by our new house since before we moved up here. We have been to at least 4 with a preference for 2 of them. It is so hard to not compare the churches up here to Revival Christian Fellowship our home church for over 4 years. We had a great group we were not only friends with but family and when we left it just has not been the same for us. We had it narrowed down between two churches and just not sure because there are things we liked about both of them. Well around Thanksgiving The Lord helped me to meet Dawn from Water Of Life one of the churches. She attends a once a month Free scrapbook night help at the church. I have been there twice and love it, we also started attending Water of Life every week and thought it might be our new home church. I am very grateful for the Lords guidance in meeting Dawn and helping me to get connected. Well that is not the church Caleb liked the best. He has been asking us to go back to Hillside for many weeks now. We tried to get there for the last 2 weeks and just could not make it. Well last week-end we finally went back to the one Caleb liked Hillside Christian. We dropped the kids off and heard 2 songs, the pastor came up to pray and then a couple came on stage and did a mini play. They were actors doing a skit as part of the thought provoking opening to the service. Well after the first or second line I knew God had a lot to say to me and that I needed to open my ears. The couple on stage, had just lost their home and were moving out. Humbling and humiliating was how they described it. At that moment I knew we were in the right church. I recieved a lot of peice that day. Thank you Lord for meeting me, holding me and getting us through. You are ever so faithful.
Trust in the Lord

A Snow Blizzard

O.k so maybe it wasn't a blizzard but it sure was a lot of fun.

We normally go to Big Bear for Presidents Day week-end, my whole family goes Mom and Dad, Sisters, and our families. We go up Friday and stay until Monday. Usually very minimal T.V we do art with the kids, make some sort of food, last year it was chocolate lollipops and homemade pizza. We love to play in the snow, ski, sled and have snow ball fights when ever possible. Well this year we were not able to go so we had a day or two at my sisters instead. We had a ton of fun, and it even snowed!! O.k so the UPS man brought a box for my sister just in God's perfect timing and the kids played in the packing peanuts for over an hour it was so much fun. We even made our own bagels this year, and played in the rain.

I pray all is well in your piece of the world and that you too can find Gods gifts (Great or small) in the every day things.
This week-end for me it was time with family and a box of packing peanuts. Who new one little box could bring so much joy. Well I guess God did. Thank you Lord for time with family, so much fun and a little time were no one had to think about what if's or tommorrow. We could just play and enjoy the day.

Just Rambling

I'm not a writer so it may not be fluent but just wanted to get down whats happening in my neck of the world.

Check out one of the stores I teach at.
www.chinoscrapbookcompany.com
www.thescrappintable.com

I get to scrapbook tonight, for myself, Yeah!!
My amazing friends in Menifee and my family gave me a
whole album full of pre-done pages for my daughters baby shower
almost six months ago. They are beautiful and well EMPTY!
I finally made myself sit down and go through pictures and order
them from Costco. So tonight on my night away from the kids I plan on
filling my pre done pages with pictures of my sweet girls life.

Tomorrow I teach my first class, I am excited and nervous and wish
I had more students. I only got three sign ups total for three classes, so a
lot of driving but not a lot of income.
Oh, well, we should have a
good time anyways.

There is a big craft convention coming up and one of the store
I teach at and help make kits for invited me to go.
I have been in the past because of the store I managed
and can't wait. I love seeing all the new product
and believe it or not it helps me to not spend
as much in the long run. I see it before I get
to buy it so by the time it hits the stores it feels
like old product already. I plan on having fun and meeting new people. All the Fiskateers are meeting for a pic and I can't wait to see them. A Fiskateer is someone who loves Fiskars product, there is a web-site that we all get to chat, exchange ideas, give our feed back and opinions to fiskars, etc. Pretty much addicts with an outlet. if you love Fiskars check it out www.fiskateers.com
