I don't know if anyone has seen The Truth Project from Focus on the Family but it is amazing! Really. The hubby and I attended the training event and have the DVD's which is just such a bad thing for me because I just have to watch them and I mean all of them in a short period of time. We are watching them with our church right now Sunday nights and it has just been a blessing but I watched them all right after we got them. They are excellent. I especially have loved the science section. It's been really informative. It's been awesome for the correction in some of my thinking that was not biblical and things I never even thought about before. I have already heard lots of positive feedback on the video series from people who are attending so that is really encouraging. I think really that is the most important thing we are focused on right now is just growing spiritually and using our spiritual gifts to bless others.
My wonderful and extremely smart husband, Jared, is doing awesome in his classes he has been taking. He is consistently on the Dean's List so I have to give him a big shout out there. I am so proud of him. He totally is the smart one in the family...not on ALL things (o; but on most. I am the smarter one when it comes to domestic issues such as how to get a stain out or what to make for dinner when our pantry is dwindling on supplies but if you want to know pretty much anything else he's your man and if he doesn't know he will become the expert on it. I ask him random stuff all the time. He's the spiritual leader in the family so he becomes my personal pastor I suppose you could say.
I have personally been suffering with my migraines much more frequently since Christmas. That has been putting a crimp in the schedule as well. People sometimes ask how I do it all and I tell them it's God. I don't know how all this would work the way it does unless He holds us together. I don't know why I get my migraines but I have been forcing myself on most episodes to rejoice in them. I do thank God for the doctors who have been given the ability to come up with the medication that I can take in those instances. I do that because I know I am going through it for some reason and I know God will work good out of it. I can tell you that I certainly do appreciate what it feels like to have a clear non-throbbing head when I do have it.
On a crafty note...I have some awesome ideas for crafts coming up for the spring. I can't wait to post about them. There is someone special that I am especially bubbling over about making one project for. More than anything I just love blessing people with something little I made with the gifts that God has given to me. I am at an unfortunate stand still in my crafting for the moment because I need paint for the two projects I want to do and I just can't seem to squeeze in running to the store to get the right paint that I need. I am hoping that I will have some time this weekend.
I also have two recliner rocking chairs that were given to my by my parent's that I am extremely excited to reupholster and paint/distress the wood arms. There is also two children's rockers and the full size rocking chair that my parent's rocked me to sleep on that I want to completely re-do. Oh that is going to be so awesome. It will be my first time and the recliners were my grandparent's so I can't wait to see how they are going to turn out. It's pretty neat that these pieces each have a little story to tell with my family. I have been just besides myself wanting to tackle some furniture make-overs. I currently have my eyes peeled for a small entertainment center OR something to turn into that for our bedroom. We have our TV on Jared's nightstand right now. It's almost the perfect first project because we don't really need to have something so I can totally take my time working on that. I am sure it will be a learning experience. OH and I have a really awesome desk that was my grandfather's from the navy which is just so beautiful. I can't wait to do something with that as well but it may be last on the list just because I am so hesitant to mess that up. I just love it so much! PLUS I think I a wonderful friend from church is giving me her old sewing machine. This may just be the most exciting thing for me of the year. I have been dying to get my hands on a sewing machine but just don't have the money to buy one now. God is awesome! I have been praying about that one. I didn't know how I was going to get one but I think it is imperative I do so I can only expand my growing little craft experiment that will prayerfully turn into some kind of way to bring extra money into the house. I don't know what God's going to do with this new obsession of mine but I know He will use it for great things. I don't mean like I am going to get an award for being the best crafter in the world. I don't know I guess I just have to just keep going and see what happens. That's the most exciting part of it. (o:
I am finding it very difficult to wrap my brain around how to sort and organize my digital photos. I have Picasa loaded onto the computer but I really just need to devote some time to sit down and sort and go through all those pictures. If anyone has suggestions please let me know what you have done that has worked for you. I might just have an easier solution that way! That just seems so daunting of a task I can't think about it without almost hyperventilating. I also have the same issue with making a 2011 project list. I need to pencil in some time for that while my lil' girls are napping one day and Ian is at school to work on this. I also have lots of things I want to do to the blog which by the way if you see me constantly changing things around it is because I get bored easily and I like to keep things interesting!
Here's a little pic of the my daily projects...

I also wanted to share a song that always, always, always comes into my head. I just love it and I have known it for quite some time now. I hope it blesses your day!
(if you want to watch and listen to this scroll all the way down to the bottom of this page first and hit the pause button on my blog music. Yes, it is a song on my blog list as well!)
Here's the lyrics...
Ginny Owen - If You Want Me To
The pathway is broken
And The signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why You brought me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If You want me to
Chorus:
Cause I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet
so if all of these trials bring me closer to you
Then I will walk through the fire
If You want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'd never go alone
So When the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through
And I will go through the valley If You want me to
I hope you have a blessed day. †
