Finally, A New Blogspot!!

Ever since my entry into the blogging world, I have wished to be on this blog site, but my internet filter would not allow me to go here. Anyway, I finally had time to figure out how to go here, so, HERE I AM!!! I am excited to be able to get cuter backgrounds ~ isn't that silly :)

We have had a busy but fun weekend, mixed in with a couple of sick children. Friday Scott took off and we cleaned out closets and played games and had a really good day. Then on Saturday, Scott took the kids and Danielle to the goat sale in Pontotoc. I stayed home and a friend of mine, Rose Anne, came over and did some decorating in my dining room. I will try to post pics.
Then on Saturday night, we went to my cousin Brad and his wife Angie's home for a Christmas celebration with my mom's side of the family. Brad shared a little of what the Lord has shown them in the past few weeks, and it really warmed my heart. Our Lord is so good to reveal Himself to us in all kinds of ways.
Last night we had our Christmas fellowship at Christ Community and Sarah Fox gave her testimony. It really touched my heart as well. She told of the Lord's goodness in pursuing her and being patient with her. She shared how as a young person she had said the 'sinner's prayer" and walked the aisle and had really tried to live a good life, but she was not converted or saved as many call it. She still relied on her goodness and lived for herself and made life decisions based on her wants and desires and not relying on God. After a book study with the church and through talking with the pastor and others and pouring over God's Word, she felt a difference. Her desires were for different things, the scriptures came alive to her and she felt the Lord had converted her. It was Him, not anything she had done. I am sure my paraphrase of her testimony is not completely accurate, but I hope this is the gist of it.
The Lord has really been teaching me SO much these past couple of years and many things in her testimony, I could identify with. I want to bless His holy name for stooping down to touch my life and His wonderful patience as I wander all over the place. He has shown me such kindness and love. This Christmas season is full of hope!
