New name in Glory and it's Corryn!!

There's another new life in our home today!!!

New life in this sweet girl!!

Corryn asked Jesus into her heart last night and David and I got to pray with her and  lead her to her Savior!!
Not only that, her sister who was saved earlier this year got to witness it! So Awesome!!


Here's the story!
The girls and I were getting into the van to go to a girl's spa night. As they were getting into their seats, Hollyn shows us a card she made for God. It said 'God is good'! with many hearts on it. She said she made it for God and didn't know how to get it to him. I told her if she gave it to someone God would get it because He would see it and would love for his children to have a giving heart! She then asked how would he know, and I told her God sees everything, and knows everything! He is everywhere and also in her heart since she asked him earlier this year!

Then Corryn just asks out of the blue, "I want to ask Him in my heart!

What an answer to prayer!! I had just been praying for her to get saved!!! Corryn has such a sweet heart, she actually told me about a year ago she asked Jesus into her heart but did it silently, plus she said she didn't really understand it all, so I told her when she is ready God will help her understand!

So I then start to ask Corryn some questions and show her some verses to make sure she understands, after a few minutes I felt she did. I called David to come down to the van, he came and we talked to her some more and she said she was ready to ask Jesus into her heart.

We started her off with
"Dear Heavenly Father..."
but she jumped right in "forgive me for sinning , Please come into my heart,  in Jesus name, Amen"....


She was so sincere and so sweet! She said Please!!!! How awesome it that!! she comes to the most High with a sincere heart and asks "please come into my heart!! and He does!!

Romans 10:13 For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved!"

What a mighty God we serve! 

My secret gardener!

The girls and I came outside yesterday and found this. Someone had weeded our flower bed! It is not a big flower bed, but it is a big blessing to me!!!!

I am not a gardner, I hate to get my hands dirty (must be from working in a hospital for so long). The weeds were everywhere, I dreaded doing this job. I felt I didn't have the time or the tools to do it. But the Lord saw fit to help me.

What a blessing, what love, what a gift! Am I making too much of this, Not at all! Maybe who did this, didn't think much of it. Maybe they did it just to get rid of the weeds and not to help me. But I really don't think so! But I know the Lord has blessed me through this.

It wasn't just the act of cleaning this flower bed, it blessed me because I didn't ask someone to do it.
It blessed me because they done it in secret with no attention to themselves.
It blessed me because It was a need I had and God met it! He is so faithful!!! He shows me in the little things how He is still in the big things!!! and I am so thankful for that.

The girls asked me who did this, my answer I don't know but what we need to do is pray and ask God to bless them for blessing us!


Gen. 12:3 I will bless those who bless you.

Dear Lord,
I pray you will bless these friends who have blessed me so much. From their offers of help, to their kind words, to this act of love. Thank you Lord, for showing me how much you care for me. It is not just the big things you do, but the little things also. Thank you Lord for showing me how you are in the small things of my life. Thank you Lord!

Thankful!

I am so thankful this weekend!

Thankful that my little girl you see here is fine. She swallowed a metal hair pin on Wednesday night just after I had got on to her about having them in her mouth. So we spent the night at children's hosp, they took her to surgery on Thursday afternoon, where they inserted a catheter down her throat passed the clip then inflated the balloon on the end of the catheter and gently pulled out the catheter with the clip.

So very Thankful! It could have been worse!
So very Thankful for friends who came by to check on me and to stay with me when they took her to surgery.
So very Thankful for friends who called, emailed and prayed for us. My sister sent a message over Facebook and so many people who I don't even know was praying and calling her checking on Corryn and myself. WOW!
So very Thankful for a husband who loves the Lord and encouraged me during this whole ordeal. I know this was hard on him to be so far away  and not be here but I know he trusted the Lord just as much as I did that night.
So very Thankful for neighbors who helped with Hollyn by watching her and taking her to school.
So very Thankful for all the love and concern for us. We truly are blessed with family and friends who love us so much.

I love the Lord for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Ps 116:1

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Ps 118:1

Dear Lord,
I can not thank you enough for your protection over us. I can not thank my family and friends enough for their love. But I can pray and give you the praise and honor for showing us mercy and grace last week. I pray for my family and friends that you would bless them and shower them with your love.
I love you Lord.
