God teaches us a Major Lesson...

As I think back on what a week my family has had, it really makes want to cry! My feeling's have been scared, angry, and hurt. What we have been through, has been a life lesson to learn from. God knew exactly what and how to get our attention. We both felt like we had our life under control. Paying our bills, putting food on our table, and buying things we would like to have. But I feel like we left a big person out. Our God! We serve the Lord, don't get me wrong. But I feel like we haven't served him whole heart and soul. I was raised to give our tithes to the Lord. But my husband was not raised up that way. Mainly because they did not have money. We disagree on many things. But the biggest argument has been tithing. I love my husband and I'm very grateful on how he works for everything we own and working toward. But I just don't know how this battle will work out in the end. I myself will be giving my earnings toward the Lord. Because I don't want to be standing in front of him on judgement day and say sorry lord, we just didn't have the money to give to you. Hello!! If you work forty hours a day and get paid, he should help out the one that help you get the job and money. So this is my comment now, to give to the Lord what is his, and work with what I have to purchase what I owe and want. I guess, as I'm getting older I need Lesson's to learn from. Man oh Man, a Major Lesson Life lesson to learn.

Week of Learning Experience's...

Ok, it's been a few days since I blogged again!! Sorry!! Anyway, I wanted everyone to know. I WON!! No, it's not the Lottery!! But I bid on an item on e-bay and I won!! WOO-HO!! Ok let me explain. Monday during our Marker Club meeting. I was very interested in if anyone had a stamp set that delt with construction. My plans are Carson is turning four in Nov. and he loves Bob the Builder. So I'm planning on a Construction theme for his party. So now that I'm into making cards and things. I was wanting to make the invitation's for his party. So at the marker club meeting, no one had anything dealing with construction. But Joann a friend told me about trying to find it on ebay. What? I have never dealt with ebay. I wouldn't even know how to bid. So Tuesday at work got on ebay and there I found the retired stampup set By Land. They had about five to bid on. So I found the stamp set plus two wheel stamp sets. I started bidding and by Wednesday afternoon, I had Won... It was very addicted, I keep watching the bid, to see if I was being outbid ed. There was this one ladie that was trying to get it. But my maxi um bid was 40. I was not going over that. So she quit bidding at 39.36. Good for me. So it was a learning experience, and I'm grateful I found what I was looking for. So Thanks to Joann I will be making I hope some really cute invitations for Carson's party.

I also, got the experience of learning some new songs to sing at church. It has been a few months since I order these soundtracks. The song The Blood Covers it all, was easy to learn. I put it in, played it and listen to the Demo. Then turned around and started singing on my own. It is a very good song. Now the song In the Presence of Jehovah was a little different. I had to listen to the demo several times before I picked up on it. It was all part of Learning something new. I enjoy learning and doing things new. It may take me a little bit to catch up with everybody else but it's all part of my Learning in Life.

A Little Update...

Just a little blog updating on what I've been doing!! Well for starter's I've made a green arrangement for church here is a picture.




I also made a grapevine wreath for church. The theme for this month was a music Theme.


Well what do you think? Scrap booking is not the only passion I have. I love making flower arrangement's. I love how you can take a blank surface and add a few little odds and end's and poof it looks totally different. Anyway that's about what's been going on. Just putting my creative mind into use. I'm planning another Ladies night at church for Christmas so my mind is busy with that. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
