Lots in the works the past several months and even more things coming up in the next several months. More about most of that another time.
I wanted to say I am still here and yet again working on a new layout that I will hopefully finish and make go live in the next couple weeks. God is good all the time!!

Made the new layout live last night. Still have a lot of pages it update and create some new ones. Having 2 kids under 3 years old makes it a little harder to get time to work on things. Not having all the church things to do though have freed some time and I will be trying to get things done & keep things more updated.
Since I have help create serveral logos for other people lately I decided it was time to create my own logo for website/fb page. Here are the 2 I came up with. 1 has the full name written out (which is what Curtis liked best) and the other is simplified with just initials.
I know it's been way to long since I have got to do anything with this site & blog. While I always feel like I have a million things that I have to get done and that this is on the way back burner, I feel like I need to change things. I feel like I should simplify this site and keep it more up to date. I always felt insignificant and that no one really cared what I did and what happen to me. That's simply not true. God always has and always will care about me. I also have family by blood and choice that care. You never really know how much your life, your story can effect other people. You never really know what is really going on in others lives and how your testimony even if it seems small God can use to help them get through their storm. Because of that, that is why I want to start sharing my life, story, and feelings more. I plan on sharing things that are laid on my heart be it from the past or the present or even hopes for the future.
It's been quite a while since I have gotten to post or work on this site. A lot of things have happened. I can't get into detail right now but I am hoping in the very near future to be able to update this site and start keeping it up to date. All is good God is Awesome and has blessed us so much.
God is so good. I was just thinking on how much God has blessed us. Their were times that we didn't know where we would live, didn't have a working vehicle, it almost seem like we would never have kids, but God provides and blesses. Now we have an amazing home, 3 working vehicles, and the most precious daughter! Thank you God for everything!!!! We are living proof that God makes a way, so please don't give up hope if things seem impossible, God can and will make away for His children!
I just feel like I should be very honest about something right now. Curtis & I have been together almost 13 years now, it was just the two of us for so long that honestly even though I knew God put the desire in my heart to have children it freaked me out. We have such an amazing relationship. It's funny how most people at first almost don't believe we have been together for so long because of the way we are together. They think we are in the 'newly wed' stage still. All we are is real. We are who we are there is no faking it. We love each other no matter what. Does that mean we agree on everything, that would be a big fat NO. But that's ok we wouldn't be individuals if we did.
I am not trying to brag here I am trying to make a point. Because we are so good together and it's had been so long of just the two of us, the enemy really tried to use that against me to cause me to have fear while I was pregnant. I worried about what it would do to our relationship having a child. Would we no longer be us? There were times that I was so weak about it and just stressed from the pregnancy that I feared we made the wrong choice, of course it was to late then. I took my strength from the Lord knowing that it would work out though He wouldn't put something on us that we couldn't overcome with Him. Now I look back and laugh at how dramatic I got at times and how foolish I was to let the fear take over like I did. We are stronger and closer than ever I feel. Our love, God's love flows through us to this precious miracle child that I couldn't imagine not having now. Seeing Curtis with Abby gives me such amazing joy there are just not words to really explain it. Wondering why I bring this up now? Pastor Shawn was listening to something yesterday and he wanted me to hear a certain part of it but the dvd made him go further back then he wanted to so we had to listen to more than just the one part he planned. I believe that it worked like that because of God. There was a part on the DVD that I feel I needed to hear and then share this. It talked about a couple that didn't want kids cause they couldn't imagine having to share their love with someone else as if it would be limited, or not enough for another. But that isn't how God designed love, love isn't limited, it's abounding, never ending, it can not fail, there is more than enough love for everyone and then some. I encourage anyone that reads this that don't let fear rule your life, because if you do you will miss out on the amazing and very GOOD plans God has for you. Just trust Him, His love for us is more than we can fathom. On the left is the stray black tom cat that comes around to be feed and chill. This picture was taken through the house window. Everything was soaked from it raining and so he got on the only dry area which is the top of my new mailbox. I still need to finish painting it and then install it. It didn't turn out as I planned cause I made a few mistakes but it's ok. Will post it in my projects when it's complete.
On the right is a walk way back behind our house that is still under water from all the rain so I can't get back to the current new pond we have to take pictures. It's probably going to take a month or so to go back to just being land. I am so grateful to God that our house is on such a high area. I just uploaded a new layout for the site. I am really loving it. I loved the previous but since the hosting company I use made available more customization options I can personalize each page more than I could before. Only the basic layout it done right now I still have to tweak all the different pages. Plus I added a new one for photography to display the photos I take that I think turned out interesting.
Ok more to come later for now I got to go get ready for church. Everyone have a blessed day! We got from Indiana on the first and have been settling back in post vacation and holidays. Last night I started updating the 365 blog. I didn't realize quite how far behind I got. Hoping to catch up with it with in the next week or so. I may also start working on the new layout for the site.
Happy New Year everyone. God has some amazing stuffed planned for this year I can just tell. |
