    Master bedroom makeover (ideas)...

    Working within a small space, our master bedroom is just that: small (or cozy depending on how I feel that day)
    Here's my question (which I don't ask for very often): "Is it okay to put a sleigh bed in front of the window?"
    this is what my bedroom looks like now...

    We enjoy our views of the barns and prairie through our master bedroom window on one side, and on the other side is a view of the ancient oak tree — another great view -

    so we have tucked our bed in a sort of alcove... which is okay, but I'm up for some change, and moving furniture is #1 on my list to do, unless I think of some other way to decorate that "alcove"
    it is where I do a lot of reading and writing... so it needs to be soothing... serene... relaxing (input other relaxing words here)

    I know I'm probably nuts to do this project now (with the holidays here and all) but the funny thing is, this is the time I go out shopping at retail stores the most!! I RARELY go shopping... so why not use some birthday money and do it right?
    right
    i thought so

    My inspiration is coming from two LOVELY ladies that I adore here on the net, and am very happy to call them my friends as well...
    Lulu (from Dusty Lu)
    and
    Jo (from Secret Garden Cottage)

    I'll be posting some Q&A with both Lulu and Jo in the upcoming week, so stay tuned for the progress!!

  • being aware...

    being aware of the truth

    embracing the truth the truth of why i am here

    i am not here to rally for one candidate or endorse his agendas

    i am not here to stick up those signs and bite my nails in anticipation

    i have never been that involved in politics... which doesn't mean i don't care

    i care deeply for six little ones and the lives they will have ahead

    i care for those unborn in their mother's womb who don't have a voice
    i care for the ability for me to worship the way i want

    being aware of my freedom couldn't be more evident than today

    my hope does not come from a man

    though i could go on and on... all of it is basically complaints at this point for those who were not aware of the truth, who decidedly kept themselves blinded to the truth, and who continue to deny the truth

    only Jesus said He was the truth

    Pontius Pilate asked the question to Jesus: “what is truth” it turned out that Pontius was staring The Truth right in the face and didn’t even know it

    i am not in the corner being attacked, but am standing up with both feet firmly on the ground

    ready

    i am aware of the dangers

    i am aware of the battle
    my hope does not come from a man, but from Him alone...

  • i really want to know...

    if any of you have read the previous post, you have read about deciding what God is telling you to do

    sometimes I can get pretty rapped up in my daily duties as a wife and mother, and things are going smoothly, that I don't need to ask for help... or maybe... maybe a bit stubborn also to never ask for it

    so... this leads me to open up this blog, for once, which I have never done (at least to my recollection)

    i really want to know what you, my reader, want from me

    I can hear the Lord calling me, but I don't know about you, but last time I asked for anything, I never do hear a voice

    i wish

    so, i need your voice...

    please see my sidebar and answer the quick question by choosing one answer, or, leave me a comment below

    a thank you in advance...
    xo+blessings,
