Devil get behind me, Lord take control....
Well it's been one of those weeks!! I mean month's!! Does it feel like when you have something really good going, the Devil tries to knock it down? Well that's what I'm beginning to feel. We have some things going right now within our church, that are positive and exciting!! And I'm all for it, it's just like I'm looking right behind my shoulder, wondering what will go wrong next. We are in the planning stages of some big event's at our church. We are starting a puppet ministry and a ladies bible study. Now a couple of years ago, i would be all excited, and praising God, and just on fire for the Lord. Now let me tell you I am those things, but with a little bit of doubt!! Mainly because it seems that when I put my whole life, and heart in God's work here comes the Devil making himself at home. Now I am all for this added church work, but I need your prayers. Pray that we my succeed and that God will knock the Devil on his back side!! I have faith that it will all work out. It just I was here, in this same area of my life a couple of years ago. DOUBT and it doesn't want to go away. Please keep my little church in your prayer, because we want to succeed and be on fire for the Lord again. Lord take Control of my life that I will remove my doubt and fear's!!

Greetings from Mississippi...
Greetings from Mississippi! Thanks to my wonderful family who live in Hernando Ms. They have offered us to spend the night over here! As many have heard Arkansas was hit bad with Freezing rain and Cold Temp. Mr. Winter did not give us a break! I mean it looks like a Tornado has tore through our town and left the houses! We have truly lucky, as I look in our back yard we had huge limbs fall down and came within inches of our house. But God not only Blessed us there, for us we had heat and we could cook on our gas stove. We just could not sleep in our bed, nor take a hot shower!! Our elect came on for a spilt second, but the transformer blew!! Now we have to wait on the city to fix the main lines, then they will get to the small ones. So its just all about being patient!! Well between you and me, our patients are growing very thin. We had to get out of the house and leave town for a couple of days!! I know we are in God's hand's and he has protected us thus far and he will continue to do so as long as we keep in in the center of our life. We just have to give are all to him and he will be with us. I am not scared and I am not afraid, for I know he is with us through anything. Even Mr. Winter's ugly face!!

What a Mess....
Well we are in a little bit of craziness as of this weekend at the Roush's!! It's a thing that I've been dreading on for quit sometime!! The end of Last summer we got enough money from our insurance to fix our roof. We knew the roof needed help, but neither one of us knew the extent of the situation!! To put it mildly we where about to have our bedroom roof come crashing down on top of us (while sleeping). So it had to be fixed. We put new decking on, new shingles, and we had free labor!! Friends and Relatives help us out. But when we fixed the bedroom roof, there was also some damage done inside!! So we both have been putting off the chore of fixing the problem. As long as the roof wasn't coming down we could handle the cosmic part!!
So this weekend we took upon ourselves to clean everything out of the huge closet we have. And place around the house here and there!! My house is in such chaos, it's already driving me crazy. And it's only been the first full day of it. I know where the shoes, and pants, and shirt I have to wear tomorrow for work. But David, has no clue on where his things are!! So I guess, it will be a scavenger hunt in the morning. All the while Carson has loved the empty space. All he wants to do is run back and forth inside this huge closet of ours. I just hope it is all done in a couple of weeks.
So here is what we are planning on doing!! First of all, Sheetrock mud the crack places, and paint, ceiling and walls. Then David is going to put new trim up along the top and sides of the closet. We have lived in this house for about seven years now, and we have never touch the closet. We just washed the racks and walls of the closet to get moved in. Now that we have the money and option we are doing it correctly. The people that had the house before, where not carpenter's. There is nothing in our old house that is square!! So it causes conflict when repairing anything. I fell in love with our house because of the huge closet. It holds everything we ever wanted and then some. Right now since I decorate for weddings, it holds three totes of decorations. Plus our sound system, quilts, and seasonal decor for the house, plus our clothes. So it is a multitask closet!!
So we are working on the closet, finish that then put everything back in order. Then disassemble our bedroom, so that we can fix the bedroom problem. Like I said it has been a task I have been dreading for, for a long time. So wish us luck, because the Roush's have a big mess upon us right now!!!

Internet at Home...
I am sitting at home in the peace and quiet, writing my very first blog of 2009, On my very own computer!!! It took a little while to get a computer, and to get on the Internet!! But my husband loves to shop at Pawn Shop's!! He loves to find all kind of things that people just can't use anymore or can't afford it. Well he found our Laptop there!! The owner gave him a really good price for it, we had our computer friend check it out. And thought it was a good deal and so he bought it for us for Christmas. It has exactly what we need on it. Since we are singing for church's now, it has a burner and a intones player. Plus it has Microsoft Office on it. It is really nice and today just
today we got our Internet hook up at home. So guess what I'm blogging at home!!
So you ask me what's been going on in our lives? Well nothing really interesting!! We have just been a little bit lazy
around our house. For the last two Saturday's we have just hung out at home and watch movies!! It's been wonderful.
I guess with the hustle and bustle of Christmas we are all coming down off a holiday high!! We are just living one day
at a time!!

I guess with the hustle and bustle of Christmas we are all coming down off a holiday high!! We are just living one day
at a time!!
We did take a small little trip to Springfield Mo. this month!! We stop a Mameth Spring's and took some Pictures of Carson in front of the water. We went to the Bass Pro Shop to exchange David's Christmas Gift from Mom!! We spent four hours in the Bass Pro Shop it was alot of fun!! We ended up staying the night in a hotel, no change of clothes except Carson! It was very interesting but we had fun just roughing it a little.
Carson had to start back to pre-school after a two week holiday!! He didn't want to go back. He is back and they are learning about the shapes!! For the last three weeks every kid in Carson's class brought a object to show and tell. The first week was circle's, then squares, and this week is Triangle's!! It has been really good that the children can recognize there object with a shape!! They are fixing to start learning there address, full names and birthday's. We are to take a picture of the house and send it with him to recognize his house!! I am thankful each day, that he comes home and talks about school and all the friends he makes!! And he is only four year's old!!
We are fixing to start on several project's in our house!! Earlier this past summer we fix our roof on the house. Well when we took the roof off our bedroom, they damaged the ceiling in our bedroom. So we are having to fix the ceiling and repaint our bedroom! We are also looking at getting new bedroom furniture for us with our income tax money!! WOO! Let me tell you the bedroom furniture we have, I've had since I turned one!! White with Gold trim on it!! I just turned 30, I believe I need grown up furniture don't you!!
Anyway with all that going on, I have twisted my husband on turning our extra room into my Scrapbook room. We have been married for almost ten years and with every house we have lived in, my husband has had a room filled with Toy Tractors!! He has almost 400 or more little toy tractors!! It's crazy!! So with that he has had a room to put these toy's in and nothing else. We ll since I'm into a hobby now, I feel like I need a space now to hold my scrapbook things!! And a place for me to call my own. He really doesn't do anything with the tractor's, so they just sit on a self and collect dust. So for the past three or four month's it has been a on going argument of me taking over the room. So I believe that I have succeeded (THANKS for your help GINGER) with her help. I have kept pushing on and finally have succeeded!!
So with a computer at home now I can blog and share my life more with you!! I hope you all have a good night and I wish you all well!!

Happy New Year...
Just wanted to stop for a moment and wish everyone a very Happy New Year!! I hope God will truly Bless you in the up coming year. May you keep God in the middle of your life and always turn to him when things go wrong. God Bless you and your family!!!
Wow, 2009!! Just can't hardly believe it that a new year is here!! This year has been a year of life lesson's, life mistakes, life blessings, and we learned a hard lesson about each other. There is not a person that I have been talking to that 08 was not without struggles and disappointment's. It just seemed that everywhere we looked, God was teaching us a lesson of some sort. Especially these last couple of months. Lost of work, people getting sick, loved ones dieing.
There have been blessings this year, that we don't need to forget. God truly blessed us, in the fact we have a son, that have been released from the kidney doctor. God blessed me earlier this ear with the sense of me not being able to hear!! He blessed David when he was in a major car accident this year. He provided us the people and material's to fix our roof that was falling in on our house. He answered a major blessing in our life, that is to be unspoken!! God was also with us when me and David renewed our commitment to each other.
So there is so much to be Thankful for and we owe all of our Blessing's to Him. I owe him so much, and I want to make a promise to him. That I plan on making 09 count, and not to look back on what could have been, but what the future has to offer. We can not look back, but instead look ahead. NONE OF US ARE CERTAIN OF OUR FUTURE. But I am certain if God is in our life he will help us through anything. So my Blessing for you this year, is make 09 count for God!!!

Christmas is on it's way...
WOW...as I sit here at my desk, it's hard to believe that the entire month of December is almost over. There have been sooooo much going on it's not even funny!! Not really enough time to even blog. So what's been going on that has been so crazy, I will tell you!!
We had Carson's B-Day, Thanksgiving then Bame it's December. We decided to take Carson in for his four year checkup. Well he is average weight, he passed his eye exam, but failed the hearing exam. The right ear, there was no reading coming from it. So we decided to take him back to the ear specialist to get it checked out. They did the whole entire test on him, he ended up having a small ear infection, which caused him to loose some hearing at the time. So everything is good now. He also got his 4yr shots!! He did good, the last one they put in his arm hurt a little but he was such a brave boy. So we are set till he turns seven!! WOO--HOO!!
So now we start planing the Ladies get together, that was DEC 12. We had such a good time, but it completely wore me out. I had so many craft things to work on. I made the Ladies, a Candy Ornament, a Glass Ball Ornament, a Gift Tag w/Scripture, and Filled a Stocking filled with Candy in it. Put it mildly I'm on a craft low right now!!! I put so much time into working on those things for the ladies, that I didn't even make my Christmas Cards this year. I said NO WAY, this year!! But we had a blast, we had a pretty elegant dinner, and everything was so pretty.
I took three of our Long tables at church and placed them together and formed a large circle. Placed red silk table clothes on each of them. Then I took a Wreath, placed red and green glass balls on it. Placed Christmas Light's around with green garland. The Ladies got to eat out of Christmas Dinner Plates that me and my mom had. The Stage was an old rocking chair, fake fireplace, and the church's Christmas Tree. The whole thing was an event the Ladies said they would never forget. We played games and just enjoyed each other's company. We exchanged Ornament's. Plus everyone got a Door Prize to take home, from the church!! I think I've started a Christmas tradition over at our little church.
We've also had to deal with two Death's this month. One of our church member's, house caught on fire and didn't make it out. His wife and kid's went to McDonald's, so they where not around, when it happened. But he had some problems with drinking and was depressed!! We cannot judge him, only God only knows what happen in the last hour's of his life. But we had to sing, and David was a Pal Bearer!! We had his funeral. Then one of the men that we work with and came to church with us, lost his handicap daughter. She died very peacefully in her sleep. They said she had a smile on her face, like she was meeting the Angels!! So we where asked to sing at her funeral!! It just so happened that I have a song, "On the wings of an Angel." Very fitting, I thought. I tell you what it's just been something else. You wonder why God places these event's in our lives at certain time's. I think it's a lesson that none of us, don't know the day nor the hour of our lives. So make each memory and moment last!!
So as of right now, my focus is my son. And to celebrate Christmas with my family, friends, and just enjoy what this Christmas is all about. This is a special Christmas this year, because me and David have put our whole heart, mind and soul in the Christmas Gift's this year. I can't tell you what it is yet, but after Christmas I will inform you what it is!! It's a surprise for our family.
So this brings us up to the weekend before Christmas, and I only like a few things to get, then I'm done!!!!!! Like I said I want to recognize that the true Gift of Christmas is that our Lord. Sent down his love into a baby, so that we could no what true love and life is all about. I'm so thankful to celebrate his birth. So tonight we will be watching Ginger Bales, Christmas program at her church. I'm excited about watching it!! May God Look Down on us, and Bless all of us this season!!
