November...

Yikes!  November has just flown by!  Nothing exciting this post, just a quick update...

Introducing Zoey!

On September 27th, we adopted Zoey from the
 Friends Forever Humane Society

Sewing machine - Extreme Cleaning!

I have long made it a habit to clean my sewing machines regularly.  I oil them roughly once a month, and use my lint brush to dust off all that loose lint build up, almost every time I sew.  But in spite of my routine surface cleaning, I know that the lint builds up inside - deep where I can't usually reach.  

So I decided to go deep...

I split it all the way open and cleaned every nook and cranny I could...

Terriona - the paraplegic kitten

     Last Friday afternoon, my brother saw a tiny. injured kitten dragging itself across my parents back yard...

A Jaw Infection...

Sometime early last week my Jaw started bothering me... the week before that I'd had a canker sore waaay in the back on the top right side. (It was behind my last molar, felt like it was so far back that it was practicly in my throught - so it hurt to swallow or even breath. Ugh.)  So I noticed a little lump on the left side of my jaw when we were at that wedding, but I was distracted by the canker sore... and didn't pay attention to the lump... at first.

Peg Board Project...

I got the peg board for the back of my 'shipping center' desk!  

But the color of peg board is kinda blah...

So I decided to spray paint it!

"Bright Idea"

At a Wedding...

We are at my Hubby's cousin Travis's wedding today.

I brought our point-and-shoot for pictures, but found that the battery was dead when we got here :P

New Coffee Table!

SO - on Tuesday, my Hubby and I made a trip to Chicago for his work to drop off some parts at a repair place... and then went to IKEA!

Though You Slay Me...

       I've listened to this song a lot in the last couple months, and it's especially 'real' to me right now.I listen to it because it reminds me of essential truths.  Truths that need to hear, but usually don't want to. Life's hard sometimes, but God is always good - so though I can't see through it, I praise Him for it.

I Just Can't See it...

Suffering Well...

Last week I listened to a series about Enduring Suffering on Revive our Hearts.  It struck me that suffering isn't just about being beaten for being a Christian, it also has reference to heartache - emotional suffering.

   This is one of the quotes that really stood out to me...

A Sunrise Quiet Place...

     So I went for that Sunrise Drive yesterday morning... it was super foggy and there was no beautiful Sunrise to watch after all.  However, I did take my Bible and was able to read for a good amount of time without being distracted by things I had to get done (which was the main point of going after all)!

     And even though there wasn't a great sunrise, I did take my camera and I did take a few pictures...

This was the first picture I took, it's a railroad crossing I passed on the way...  

It was a really neat scene this morning in the fog!  

Sunrise "Get Away" Devotions...

   
     When we are on vacation, I like waking up really early, taking my bible and journal and finding a quiet place to watch the sun rise and read/write/pray for a while.  I've gotten up as early as 4am to do so, and every minute was worth it!
