Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a good future and hope.

This my Life Verse and this pass year his promise has been completed. After 4 long years I can see the light and all the promises of the Lord are coming to reality. My outlook and priorities have changed to be more of Gods desires and not mine. I thank the Lord that the journey I travel was not lonely. So many wonderful Godly people held my hand and uplifted me in prayer and today I can stand and say I live for God alone. I love you all so much and thank the Lord for you each day!!

Livia and the Girls

The speaker was amazing she spoke about Grace and how to get it. I just learned so much about my God. I refreshed myself spiritually and had lots of girl time. I just realized that I missed my sisters so much. How great is to be with them and laugh and cry and just be together. The last Sunday at Hillsdale right before my move we sang God make no mistakes and yesterday again we sang God makes no mistakes. I truly know that NC is the place for my family but it is so hard for me to walk away from all the people I love. Not only my sisters but all my special friends and spiritual mentors. I am so excited to have found a church like CBC Pastor Knight and Nancy are so well known and loved by many and to be in a church that the pastor is known as a Strong Godly man of God with a BIG heart just makes me rejoice to know it was all Gods plan. I know that it will not take long to make special friends and mentors in CBC because of how God has planned it all out. Thank you to all at Hillsdale for making me feel part of you all. I love you all so much.
GOD Bless

The end result!! We kept the color and love it!

Take a look at all the cards I received this month

Thank you all for the great cards of encouragement

My new project Jasmine's Room

I started painting Jasmine's room and the color is not what I thought and I am in desperate need of advice from everyone. Please tell me what you would do - I am not able to change the color but I can rearrange what she has.
