Surrender

I feel somewhat inadequate to be writing this seeing that it is an area that I myself struggle with, but I feel like I should.
 It can be so hard to give up everything. Completely. But it's so necessary to do so. we need to give our Life, time, energy, talents etc. to God for Him to use as He wishes. This is a song that puts it perfectly I think. When I first heard the song I didn't appreciate it very well, it made me feel sort of guilty but now that I have accepted what it was/is trying to tell me I am thankful & am challenged to give more of myself to Him daily, He is the reason I live!

                                                                  More Of Me                                       

All the riches one could gain

All the ever glad refrain          

All the glory yet untold              

All the love the heart can hold

CHORUS:  He has given all to me

          All I'll ever need 

And it's not that I need more of God

But He needs more of me

More of time time I waste each day

More unceasing when I pray

More my heart my mind & soul

More of all to His control 

      

     We are constantly faced with times when we want to hang on for dear life to the things we call "ours".

 (dreams, talents, attitudes etc.) Let's remember that it's not us who need more, but GOD!

My new favorite song

I heard this song a few days ago & it made me think,  we all have times when it's hard to really have faith but the Bible says that If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
 Listen to this song, I know you'll like it.

Rambles.

I currently have nothing to say.
Nothing that is very interesting & needful that is. Last week my sis. & her children were here all week, perhaps sometime I will post pics. perhaps I won't?- presently the computer isn't wanting to cooperate to let me take the pics. off the memory card, on to the computer. *sigh* this IS modern technology! this week I was very busy -baking- you may think this is all I do but it isn't. Next week we (mom, Rhoda & I) go to Iowa to clean my Grandma's house. A fun piece added to that will be seeing all my cousins (if pics. get taken I will post them;) Last night my bro. Micah came home from Iowa after being there for 2 weeks, it is good to have him here again seeing that  it might be good to have "someone with some common sense" around again in case of things happening (water pipes breaking etc.:) well I should go and bake some supper.  A wonderful weekend is wished  to you all!:)

Nieces & Nephews

I know I have only 1 niece instead of several like it sounds but oh well...

I was needing to update so I thought I would do some pictures of these little people, namely my niece & nephews.

                                                           Aubrey & Kyler

                                                   Carson & Jaden

 

Right now Sara is here (which means that Aubrey & Kyler are as well:) It's fun! At Thanksgiving I will get to Carson & Jaden which will also be fun:)   Sorry, but some of these pictures are somewhat old. 

Have a wonderful day!                                                                                                     

Happy Fall! :)

Hello to one & all! Honestly I did not mean to hold back posting till after the first day of fall but being very busy plus slow internet when you have time to update makes for wide spaces between posts!

                                            Meet Jane:

She happily sits in the corner of my sisters schoolroom with some pumpkins & squash, (this was before the pumpkins & squash were there) Dorcas found her & she probably comes from China but I do like her!:)

I am currently working on some pages for my blog, such as; Favorite Songs ~ Quotes  & Proverbs ~ Links~ etc. Perhaps there will also be a guest book?  The reason is to hopefully make this a little more interesting(I said hopefully) Please tell me if it is boring 'cause I don't like boring things! :)

This coming Saturday my sister is coming for a week, bringing her little family with her:) It will be fun (to state the obvious!)

  Wishing you all a good day until next time:)

Who agrees...

...that beautiful, breezy, fall days are a gift from God & God alone?

            
This morning I woke up to the sound of birds singing, leaves rustling, a coolness that was fresh air coming through the window & blue skys.  What more could I have asked for?!

In which we are industriously baking...

All week we have been baking for a bake sale this weekend, & since I have nothing else to post I will just do some pictures of this recent activity;

                         Mom writing labels for bread & cookies
                           

                                     A bed full of cookies

                          Labels for various things

                                 And here we have some pies :)
