David and Goliath

Mar and I went to the beach last week and had a GREAT time!!! I definitely want to write about that (actually, I already have but haven't put it on my blog yet) but I just had to write about the neatest thing God did for me before I do anything else today.  I recently finished Beth Moore's Breaking Free Bible study and loved it so much that I wanted to do another Bible study of hers.  I have heard great things about the David Bible study for years so I bought it to start at the beach. I enjoyed getting up every morning and doing the study with the ocean in front of me (one of my FAVORITE things about the beach is doing my quiet times there).  On Saturday morning, though, I had to get the condo ready for us to leave by 10:00 am (I always clean for the cleaners) :) so I decided to do my Bible study in the airport. One of the many reasons I love Beth Moore Bible studies so much is because she asks questions that help me remember things.  On this day, one of the things she asked us to do was look up 1 Samuel 17:5-7 and draw Goliath's armor on him.  I thought this was a fun thing to do and a great way to remember his armor. Lamar and I had a fun conversation about David and Goliath, too, and how cool is was that Goliath had on ALL that armor and David didn't have any armor on at all because he wasn't used to it and just how God can do ANYTHING!!!! Here's my picture.....as you can see, I didn't get the artist gene that the rest of my siblings got....but I'm okay with that. :)


Well, later on that night after we got home, I got on Facebook and just look what I saw on my mom's Facebook page!!!!


 
 Under the picture was the caption, "Doug and Goliath".  I was like, "NO WAY! That is what I drew earlier!!" I remembered right away that Goliath's helmet was made of bronze and so were his pants and that his coat weighed 125 pounds!! I also knew that the top of his spear weighed 15 pounds and that Goliath was over 9 feet tall.  I mean what are the odds that on the same day I'm drawing Goliath's armor, my dad is having his picture with Goliath with all his armor on?!   That is no coincidence....that, my friends is just a wink from God!! I LOVE it!!! He's so so good and so much fun! My mom and dad went to Branson last weekend and went and saw the play Noah. This is where mom took dad's picture with Goliath.  Here's a clearer picture.

And you know what else is so cool?!!! One of the questions asked the day before in the study was asking about who in life reminds you of David (she was saying that God is tender and strong and David was a man like that)  and you know the answer that I wrote? Well, just look for yourself!  
I wrote, "My Dad and Lamar". It just makes me want to cry how good God is.  He gave me a picture of "my" David and Goliath together right while I'm studying it all.  I sure love how He loves me!!! I just had to share!!!

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Show us where you live Friday.....the Kitchen

Most of you probably read Kelly's blog . She is so much fun! Well, she is hosting a "Show us where you Live Friday" and this week is the kitchen edition. I am excited about this because I absolutely LOVE looking at houses and decor....it's so much fun and can really show someones personality. I just love to see how others express themselves through decorating. While I really do love my kitchen, it is the room I am looking forward to redoing the very most. My future plans are to take down the wallpaper and paint, paint the ceiling, redo the cabinets (probably really dark wood), paint the island black, take down the florescent light fixture above the island and replace with something a little more up to date, and replace the curtains. I think the previous owners did a great job decorating it but I would rather it be more my personality. I spend A LOT of time in my kitchen and I really enjoy it!! When my mom and dad moved, they gave me their big round table that seats...

Christmas Decorations

I am so behind on my blog, once again. I have so much to write about......Thanksgiving, the Turkey Trot, the Granny Walk, Marcifest, the LSU/HOG game, etc.  It was all wonderful! I don't want to leave all of that out.  I'll go back and catch up or at least I think I will.  One thing I learned way back in the day when I was scrapbooking was that if I got behind to just start where I was instead of backtracking. Otherwise, it was just too overwhelming. So, I'm starting with right now and right now, I'm decorating for Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas...the music, the atmosphere, and most especially, the celebration of Christ's birth. I got a pretty swag for my door and wanted garland to match. I have a wonderful friend, Hope, who is an incredibly talented decorator and she volunteered to make the garland for me.  We went shopping together and she knew exactly what to buy and came to my house and put it all together.  She did a great job! I love my door!!...
