Facing My Giants

Have you seen Facing the Giants? What a movie! A church in Alabama wrote, produced, and acted in this movie. The message of the movie was really good and I watched the directors commentary for it (aren't DVD's great!) (As you can tell I didn't do much on this day!!HA!) too. The directors spoke of many miracles happening during the filming of the movie. It hit me again that God works among those that are working! If I have no expectations and don't work to get anything done, God hardly has anything to work thru. So, I need to ask the question of myself, what work does God want me to be in? Something in the church, something outside the church, a career, volunteer work? At times I can feel so useless, I want to do something, I just don't know what. I've read Proverbs 31 and thought about what it means to me and what I should do about the knowledge I have received from it. Right now, I'm going to focus on being a mother, and a wife, but most importantly a child of God, and an active one! I'm excited about this blog. Let us know what ya'll think!!

Young woman, you are very close to Proverbs 31. Except for the sewing part, and you could use some practice. ha! Do you still have the crossstitch of prov. 31? Just remember who I made that for and then I gave it to you. I did that for a good reason. My little grandchildren have one pretty terrific mom. Of course you come from some pretty terrific women.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
