Audra's Happy Merry Birthday Christmas!

 One of my Christmas traditions is to go to Audra's house for dinner the week before Christmas to celebrate her Birthday which is TODAY! YAYS!! and Christmas! This year we lucked out in the photo department as her hubs was there, so we rousted him out of his man cave-ing to be our photographer! Worked sooo much better than using my self timer! Poor Cubs never really got the whole self timer thing. He would look at us like why are we smiling at a camera that no one is behind? Bless his heart.
 Now that Auds has her new house she has not one, but two trees to take our pictures by! Hurray! I love hanging out in her fancy living room, these chairs are sooooo comfy!!!
 Our gifts were the same exact size, and wrapped in very similiar paper. Great minds think alike!
 Cubs was REALLY into the gift opening process! What a good helper!
 Can you see the slobber marks on the box? hahah.. Poor little Birchbox!! After months, ok years, of me telling Audie all about #birchbox I decided it was time to gift her her own subscription! We'll see if the Mary Kay lover is a convert or not!
 Great minds really do think alike as she gave me some awesome Burts Bee's skincare stuff! I'm a big fan of Burts Bees, so I was really excited! I get super crazy dry skin in the winter, my hands get so dry that they crack and sometimes bleed. Ye-ouch!  I have been slathering several of these products all over my hands and fingers! Sidenote, I love how Cubbie is smiling at me here!
 Happy Cherrybear with yummy skin stuff! I do love a good girly product!
 And Cubs loves ripping paper and presents apart. Look at him going to town!
 Who? me? What are you speaking of? Cubbie your innocent look, it's not working my friend!
He just cracks me up! Just laying on the floor playing like a little boy! He's full of personality.. and then some!

Happy Merry Birthday Christmas Audie! I am so thankful for your friendship, and your wise and Godly council! I am looking forward to seeing how God works in our lives this next year!!

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

The Bible Recap Day 45- Leviticus 5-7 (Year Three Podcast)

Welcome back to Leviticus Friends! Today we are in chapters 5-7 and I'll admit on the first pass through of it, while listening to it on my Bible app and reading along, I didn't make a ton of notes. But when I listened to the pod things made more sense, and I got a lot more from it. Which is why I highly reccomend listening to the pod after doing your reading. TL breaks it down and shares historical and meanings of things that those of us not steeped in our Hebrew, might not know.  Things I found interesting: She mentioned that God is the only one who has spoken so far in Leviticus. Tomorrow we get a switchup with Moses and Aaron but so far the first 7 chapters have all been God talking! We talk about blood some more, and she again makes the note that it is a reminder of the fall and that God is working on rebuilding Eden. She also notes that blood is given back to God because God is the giver and taker of life.  A question I had, when we were in 5:11, talking about the rich a...
