God has already planned my life he has watched my movie!

God planned me to be a bad blogger...seriously though....i am sitting here at work today and i am thinking about God's plan for me. All the stuff that i live has already been planned....all the happy times and the pain is planned out. The happy is the easy...its the pain that is tough. Why would He plan pain for me? I am trying to be so good....i read from the Bible regularly....i stay away from toxic people....i do good for others.....but still God's plan leads me through some pretty painful times. What kind of message is He giving me during the painful times....this is what i have to open up my heart to and listen....
Proverbs 16 from The Message
Everything with a Place and a Purpose
Mortals make elaborate plans, but God has the last word. Humans are satisfied with whatever looks good; God probes for what is good. Put God in charge of your work, then what you've planned will take place. God made everything with a place and purpose;even the wicked are included—but for judgment. God can't stomach arrogance or pretense;believe me, he'll put those upstarts in their place. Guilt is banished through love and truth;Fear-of-God deflects evil. When God approves of your life, even your enemies will end up shaking your hand. Far better to be right and poor than to be wrong and rich. We plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it.

What I did....

So this weekend was a whirlwind however on a whim.....i painted this tree and cut out leaves with my Cricut using my scrap patterned paper. It was fun! My neice and youngest daughter helped out. It was great! My hubby nearly died because the paint is SOOO brown....like chocolate from the fondue! Anywho....i just used repositionable adhesive to stick the leaves up there....white glue for the birds..and then i cut out the words with brown vinyl and my cricut. It was fun! I still have leaves to add however my cricut blade needs to be changed.
Love to all!

Stop to PRAY!

I have mentioned before about a little boy named Camden Marshky....you can re-read or just catch up on his story here http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/camdenmarshky. Please take a minute or two in your day to pray for him....his family...his momma is having a tough time as any of us mommas would.

Also...take a minute to tell those you love...that you love them...open the door for a stranger....be spontaneous.

love to you all~juls

Camping in the cabin!

So...fine....i am posting here...which means that i must have internet access at the awesome cabin that we are staying in to crop! Check out the picture there of the cabin....well let me just tell you this is not where i am....nope...right now i am at home in the comforts of my home with my computer here in front of me. The cabins were way to rustic for me....nothing like the picture above. Not even close. The cabins consisted of 4 bunk beds with a couple shelfs and a 40-watt light bulb to light the room. YIKES! This was good hike down a stone path from the lodge and the a 1/2 a good hike to the bathrooms which were lit with a 20-watt light bulb i think! The cement floor of the lodge was taking on water because of the moisture i the ground...so we couldnt put anything on the floor...the lodge was also billowing with smoke because the fireplace flue (spelling) wouldnt open....the humidity was making our paper crinkly and moist...and all in all...i was not about to "camp" here .... about 1/2 hour after our arrival....we were departing....5 of us decided that we are just not that rustic. So...back to memphis and all the comforts of our home. Nice.....however...in honor of all those who stayed at the campgrounds....today i took a cold shower with the lights off.

I am off to scrapbook at the local scrapbook store. Later taters!

Thank you for this time!

Hugs & kisses to my hubby. He never complains about me going to my scrapbook events...or even my scrapbooking...he just lets me go and have a great time. I need that time and he knows it so he never blinks an eye about it.

This weekend is no different. I leave today after work to go camping (fancy camping with a cabin and stuff) and i will not return until Sunday afternoon. Loaded the van up with everything including the kitchen sink and i am off. I am just waiting for that stock exchange bell to ring!

Thanks honey...i know you are hating this picture posted....but....deep down....you love it!

Love you!

Mom's favorite bird died....Jake.

This morning my dad called me to that my moms bird...Jake...died. I knew that she musta been tore up about it too....he said that she was crying and on her way to work. Man i felt so bad for her...there was even a little guilt because while they were away in Iowa i sent Shannon to take care of the birds knowing that he wouldnt stand there and whistle or talk to them...he just went in there...fed them...checked the water and left. Anywho...i told dad that i would call mom....so...as soon as i got off the phone i dialed mom....it rang like 4 times...and i knew that she was not going to answer because she was crying...and probably driving on the darned interstate at that....finally she answered...i said...how are you doing? .. .she was fine she said...she was upset because her birds always die...i told her that Sunny was my bird and she died last....and then...she had the nerve to tell me April Fools. What? Did my sweet mom just tell me that her animal died and then April fool me? I am shocked...seriously...she quickly rebutted and said that Dad put her up to it...and then....in a very childlike fashion...he blamed it on my brother Jay. The nerve.....his is going to get it...not Jay...but Dad.....he is going to get it and get it good....because....they all laughed....it probably took him a couple practice runs to call me without laughing.....he played the sad husband card well with me....so.....for that....game on gary.....game on!
