Cozy Living

Some people call it living in a small space, but I like to call it cozy living. We moved into a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment from a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house. Our apartment is cute and very cozy indeed! We definitely had to get creative with the limited space to fit all our house into much smaller living quarters. It has been fun and funny at times while unpacking and moving stuff around to fit our needs. I always enjoy a good challenge in the way of re-organizing and re-decorating a space. There are alot of ways to be creative when given a small space to work with. Although we are not completely finished decorating and organizing our cozy, little place, it already feels like home. Here are a few pics of creativity in small spaces ~

Sold!

 

We sold our house! Yes, we are moving. With a little bit of bittersweet fondness, we will say goodbye. Another chapter of our life is beginning to unfold and we are moving forward. For now we are in a temporary home until we settle somewhere permanently. So thankful for all the wonderful memories made in this house, I will cherish them forever. We are looking forward to all the wonderful projects and fixing up our new home will need. I will be sure to keep you all posted on our venture. God bless you and I pray you have a wonderful time in His house today!

Thrifty Friday

Both of my boys are peacefully sleeping, so this mama has a few minutes of quiet time. And of course I use my time wisely.....blogging, that's wise, right? I would have blogged yesterday but the day was busy and got away from me before I knew it. I am a frequent shopper of thrift stores. I love the little treasures I always come home with and are so much appreciated by my loving husband, ahem. I am just kidding, he really doesn't mind my once a month trips to the thrift store, it saves him money. Here is what I happened upon yesterday....

 

an adorable winter, knit hat for my little man

(which he wore, and would not take off for quite a while)

 

this lovely basket in need of some refurbishing

it will fit nicely somewhere in our house

 

a mustard-colored bag for the fall,

which is making it's delicious appearance around here

 

"It looks like spring" scarf for my hair

 

this comfy and oh so cute skirt

 

jacobs' Christmas train tin

of course he wanted to play with it right away

 

 

There are always treasures to be found when thrift shopping. I know not everyone enjoys it, but I am perfectly happy to buy gently used and much loved items. Giving them all a new home and knowing they still have a lot of life left in them. I hope your weekend has been pleasant and relaxing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Self Portrait

I love the creativeness of my childs' mind. He makes me laugh, cry, smile, and love him oh that much more. He decided to take his own photographs, as I like to call it, a self portrait. He expresses himself well. I love you little man, mamas' heart is overflowing.

 



A Call To Prayer

A CALL TO PRAYER

We are living in such perilous times, the enemy is seeking all of whom he may devour. The church is not exempt from the wiles and tricks of the enemy. Satan is on a rampage to destroy every and anyone he can that is trying to serve the Lord. As women who love God and desire to have more of Him in our lives, church, etc… we must stand and take back what is rightfully ours. The devil WILL NOT win and CANNOT win, when we make a stand through prayer to fight! Our fight is against principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of the world and spiritual wickedness in high places(Eph. 6:12 ). As women, God has given us a special gift and calling spiritually to travail, we war in the spirit realm through deep intercessory prayer. We have a divine connection with Him and must access it daily. When there is war, there is noise. We cannot allow our war to be silent. We must let the enemy know we are here to fight and will not back down. We need the noise of war to break out in the army of God’s women like never before: the sound of prayer and praise. The noise of travail needs to rise from the camp of the women in all our cities and churches across the land as stated in Isaiah 32:9, 11, 15:

9.) - Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.

11.) - Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.

15.) - Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high.

We must strip ourselves from the things that would hinder the Spirit from being poured out in our homes and churches. It is time as never before for the women to pick up the weapons and go into spiritual warfare and fight for our homes, our children, our churches, and the work of God.

IT IS TIME TO FIGHT!

 

 

 

　



Living Fully For God

Our world is in so much chaos right now! I am sure that ya'll have been keeping informed through the news and such. We are seeing things come to fruition that the scripture speaks about. It is scary to see how blatantly people are turning away from God and choosing to live a very sinful life. Our world is not oblivious that there is something shaking in the spirit realm, alot of them just choose not to acknowledge it. We are living in the very last days and God is coming so soon! We must make sure we are fully living for the Lord in every way we possibly can. My heart is so troubled and burdened for our lost loved ones and close friends who are not living for God. We do not have much time to waste and play patty cake with God, it's time to rise up and get serious about your walk with Him. It's time to lay down all the things that are hindering you from getting closer to the Lord. THERE IS NOTHING WORTH GOING TO HELL OVER!!!! He is coming back for a church that is fully on fire for Him. I pray that we all take some time today to look inwardly and ask the Lord to search our hearts. 

 

Psalm 139:23-24 ~ Search me, O God and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

 

We must get a determination in our souls that we have never had before. An absolute resolve within us that we will not be shaken. The enemy is waiting for us to throw up our hands in desperation and give up. We need to let the devil know we are not going to give up, give in, and compromise what is right. In the times in which we live it is so easy to just let our guard down. Alot of us, myself included have become weary,so tired of fighting. But we must remember, the battle is the Lords' an He has already won! I pray for each and every one of you and that God will continue to direct you and your family. Stay strong in Him, pray, read the word and continue living uprightly before Him.~

 

 

 

 

Today

 

Today was a really good day for Jacob and I. We have had a bumpy last few weeks. Getting settled into a routine with therapy and preparing for the fall season. Our house is still on the market. We have had alot of interest but no offers yet. So we have been keeping extra busy with cleaning everyday to keep the house in perfect shape for a showing. I have been in a bit of slump, emotionally, physically, spiritually and so on....today was like a breath of fresh air, and I am so thankful! As an update, we are still trying to conceive another little one. We are hoping and believing God for our miracle this month. Things are looking really good for me health wise so it might just happen really soon. Other than that, not much to report from our little corner of the world. Hoping you all are having a wonderful week so far. God bless~
