Have you heard it, and are you ready?

I was sitting in a deer blind last night. The strangest thing happened. We are kinda down in a draw so the wind isn't to bad, but you can hear the wind coming across the pasture before it gets to you. It is a sound I will never forget. It is a powerful work of God. Made me really stop and reflect on all the things the Lord has done for me.

I sometimes limit God. I sometimes think my problem is to small for God. Not so, I am finding out. Nothing to big ,nothing too small. God has really blessed me this week.

You know when you plant seeds and you wonder if they ever grow because you never see that person again. Or you think hummm did the words I used make an impact? I believe God only lets us see those seeds grow only a few times, and far in between. I think He does this because if we got to see all of the growth of the seeds we help HIM plant we would get the BIG HEAD. The credit is all GODS isn't it? Yes it is.

I got to see some growth Thursday, can't talk much about it due to my work, but it was AWESOME and GLORY BE TO GOD. HE did all the work just used my mouth to get it accomplished.

God never said it would be comfortable to walk with Him or do His work. If you are COMFORTABLE in your walk with GOD you better start praying. He told me last night as I was praying........"Are you ready?" Yes Lord I am ready but ready for what? again He said" Are you ready, I am about to move." Gives me chills right now. I am ready but I might be UNCOMFORTABLE in what He asked me to do....... Are you ready?

Can't believe the time

I just can't believe it has been 14 months since I joined the gym, and 12 months since I lost 30 pounds and have kept it off. I really have no choice. As soon as I lost the weight I had a garage sale and got rid of all my fat clothes. Life is good.

Took my oldest son to the Dr. today, his check up was good.

Kyle got my new flooring down in the bathroom after months of looking at a horrible floor.He was off today and we celebrated Veterans Day with a breakfast and ceremony before I hit the road.So thankful for the men & women who fight for our freedom.God bless them.

I am honored to be spending my time tomorrow in Paducah at a health fair, any opportunity to talk about the Center and all the services we offer is great and time well spent.

Thank for reading , til next time.

My blog buddy Warren asked on a comment yesterday to blog about the Center and the programs we have so here you go Warren.

We had our annual Fundraiser October 24th. and God just blessed the socks off us with $44,000.00 raised.

With this HUGE need of women and families in need of diapers, clothing , formula, and everything else we decided to instead of handing those things out, we would developed a support group. We have and call it "Parenting 101" this class is open to the public free of charge. We meet every Tuesday morning at 10am. We last about an hour and we provide story time for their children.

In this class we discuss that God has a plan for each of us, and He so graciously gave us children to raise under His instructions. The Word of God(BIBLE) is given to each person attending. This class provides a great support system for mothers and families as well as sharing His purpose for them in their lives. For attending class we give each client a voucher to use in our resource room for clothing, diapers, formula and so on. This has in this short period of time been a huge success. Thank you Lord for letting us do your work.

Below you will see pictures of the office, counseling rooms, babies, and the huge resource room that is still not full. As this program grows so will our needs. We ALWAYS except donations, rather it is cash,monthly donation, diapers, or clothing. The need will always be there, and you can help.

God has blessed me with this huge responsibility and I am proud to be apart of the Pregnancy Outreach Center of the Rolling Plains. We serve a 100 mile radius, God is using this Center to minister to His people.

Resource room

Just a few of our many resource pamphlets on

STD's, Abstinence, Adoption and much more.

Our baby models from 10-30 weeks in the womb.

The client meeting room. Hope you enjoyed the small tour and think about helping in the future if you don't already. Have a blessed day.

Here I am

I have been trying to find myself all week to get this post written, and it's still not what I want to sit and tell you but it will just have to do for now.

I went on my first deer hunt tonight for MYSELF....yes I got a hunting license and the camo and the whole nine yards. It was great, sat with my hubby for 4 hrs. just gazing at each other. Saw 3 doe but the buck never came. Still enjoyed my day with the hubs and so did he.

Going to start the Beth Moore study"Esther" next week can't wait. What else??? So much to tell not enough time. If you read about the Center's fundraiser, we raiser $44,000.00 whooohooo.

We started a new program "Parenting 101" classes to help women, men, & families get a great support going and help then earn things like diapers, formula and car seats for attending. So if you can help with any of those things please let me know,this ministry is growing bigger than I had ever dreamed, what was I thinking limiting God like that? He is HUGE.

The boys are good, Gerry is healing great from his burn, goes back to the Dr. on Wednesday.Matt still has a girl friend, love her, and football is over. Bring on the BASEBALL.

Kyle & I are better than ever. We have decided to stop filling our children with some of the worlds junk and we are turning off the satellite TV....kids aren't happy but the Lord is.

My life is crazy right now still taking a class and reading books like crazy.....I love my life, thank you Lord. Until next post which is soon to come. Thank you for following me. Leave a comment so I know your really still there.

Have a great Monday.

I just didn't have a better title than that, sorry. It is a CRAZY week for me getting this fundraiser for the Pregnancy Outreach Center ready to go for Saturday night.....I love it but will be so glad when it is over. Last year we raised $50,000.00 Hope we can top that this year. Can't wait for you guys to see the auction items they are the BEST, and don't forget the $1,000.00
shopping spree. Spend some money and earn a chance to win a ticket. Gotta run but if you would like to attend this fun event I will need to know TODAY and please RSVP to your table host or me. Pictures and more coming soon.

Farm & Pick up Sticks

If you are a parent you know it sometimes is rare for your children to get along. I love these moments. Here they are playing pick up sticks . I loved this game as a kid, well still do. The other pics are of the farm, we just loved to go out there and goof around. God made nature so beautiful.

Matthew & Gerry
My dirty table

Yip ,I am the gate girl too.

Kyle's homemade feeder, the deer love it.

Not sure what they are but they were so pretty.

loading up MY blind, yes I have my own

My blind all in place

I looked down and thought you know, God made this dirt, and how fun it is to smush your foot around in it. I know I am weird.

New Chapter

I have been very busy this week planning for our annual Pregnancy Outreach Center's Fundraiser. All the calls , all the people, all the donations, caterer, venue, guest. Well the list goes on and one. But one day at a time.

On top of this I am doing a abstinence program for one of our area schools every Wednesday, which is my favorite part of the job. On top of that taking a fitness and nutritional course, and then................here's the BIG ONE........My well(new in-laws, Matthew's girlfriends parents) that's what I jokingly call them , maybe she won't kill me for saying so went to shop for our first ever homecoming mums for the kids. It was like picking flowers for a wedding, but sooooooo nice we love the same things. That is why these two can NEVER breakup. I would be devastated.

Tonight is date night. YEAH!!!!!!! but not a traditional date, we are going to the farm and sit in the deer blind and watch and see if anything comes into the feeder.Just alone time with my man. I plan on taking some pictures, of the wild animals and for RH that doesn't mean me and Kyle.

Life is good, busy but good.

The Grandma Chapters

I had a fun day with my grandma. (in between my work schedule)We always have fun, even when we have a challange or two we laugh right through it. She doesn't really like for me to make her laugh when she is trying to get up from a chair or into the car because she, well laughs to hard to get up. I took her today to get hair fixed, wow she loved that. Something about little old ladies and a beauty shop this is a must. I didn't get any pictures of her cute hairdo, we were in a hurry, and well I forgot to bring the camera. They would have been so cute. Oh well another day. Have a great Friday, I will it's my day off. YEAH...............(cleaning house)

I think my post lately have been a little deceiving for you out of town readers......Sorry. I don't live on a farm. Our family owns a farm and we go out and enjoy it as much as possible. I live in a rural area so I take advantage of my trips to the bigger cities when I can. But I absolutely LOVE the small town living.....Such a great place to raise kids and get to know everyone, well almost. I have lived here almost my whole life and still don't know some folks so I have challenged myself since January to step out of my comfort zone and branch out...in the process I have gotten to know some pretty cool people, and they are not at all like what I thought they would be. You know that saying don't judge a book by its cover? Sad to say I do that alot which means others probable do too.

That means I am not happy with my cover, so I plan on being a little more open minded, and a little bit more kinder, stretch beyond my comfort. Remember Jesus said it would never be easy when choosing to follow Him, so how can I share Him if I am not a little bit more nicer and smiling a little bit more.

I challenge you too to smile more and show the world you are sweet.....
