It just keeps coming…

The snow was coming down so hard that we couldn’t resist throughing on our boots at 11pm and going outside for a few minutes!

(^^Picture credit to Grace!! THANKS A BUNCH =) ^^)

“God thunders marvelously with His voice;
He does great things which we cannot comprehend.
 For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’;
Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength.
 He seals the hand of every man,
That all men may know His work.”
Job 37:5-7




Call me Russle!?…

My youngest sister, Rebakah, comes into the kitchen every evening at 5:35pm sharp as I begin dinner and asks in her squeaky voice:
“Russle, can a make wiff you?”
Translation from Toddler to English:
“Rachel, can I bake with you”
So I have officially been dubbed Russle!

“the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things—  that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,  to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed”
Titus 2:3-5

My Funny Valentine…

Just a little shy of a month until the frenzy to buy a box of chocolate or make a card embossed with hearts for that special someone I have already found my Valentine… or should I say Valentines!
“Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.”
Proverbs 4:23



PROJECT 52 {week 2}

Randomness from my Week: Jan 7-14

“Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.

 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

 Make me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones You have broken may rejoice.”

Psalm 147:15-17

When is young too young …

By the looks of this Self Portrait, Rebekah may have some photographic genius running through her veins!

“Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.  For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
2 Corinthians 5:20-21

Salvation Belongs to the Lord!!


My brother, Abel, was baptized a few days after being saved last week =) We were blessed with weather in the 60’s for that day!

“Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
Acts 2:37:38

Why we CELEBRATE…

“Excitement and joy are filling the air;
The lights add special decor.
We’re shopping for Christmas gifts everywhere,
But are gifts what Christmas is for?
The wreaths and the trees and the parties
Aren’t what we need to convey;
It’s the birth of our Savior, Jesus,
The real reason for this holiday.”
(By Karl and Joanna Fuchs)

“But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,  not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,  that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”

 
Titus 3:4-7

4 days until Christmas{Christmas Crafting}

“There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, 
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, 
The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
His delight is in the fear of the LORD, 
And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, 
Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;
But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, 
And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; 
He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, 
And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, 
And faithfulness the belt of His waist. 
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, 
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, 
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; 
And a little child shall lead them.” 
Isaiah 11:1-9

13 Days till Christmas…

13 days till Christmas and all are excited…
Yes, she was caught in the act. If I were to turn around the cupcake plate you would see little finger prints in each with a substantial amount of buttercream icing missing!
I decided to spread a little cheer at the GraciousMay.com workshop with these oversized Christmas treats:
 And this morning we woke up to our first snow! Maybe a whiteChristmas after all?!
“But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.”
Galatians 4:4-5
