Blah...

I really like this song at the moment. Mostly because it says things that I want to be able to say or feel. I'm going through a slump right now. Feeling lonely, feeling a little left behind, feeling a little lost in this world I'm in. Keep in your prayers.

HOSANNA (sung by Zoe group and Selah)

I see the king of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes

I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing

[Chorus]
Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna in the highest

I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith

I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees
We're on our knees

[Chorus]

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me

Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to Eternity

If Walls Could Talk...

If my walls could talk they would say THANK YOU!!!

My great, great friend Brittany painted this for me at my request. I have an obsession with damask at the moment and I think she painted it beautifully. It's hanging in my foyer. I love you Brittany!

And this one is a gift from my sister-in-law, Erin. She painted a familiar scene from Fort Fisher, where we vacation every year. It is hanging above my bed and I love the colors and the thoughtfulness behind it! Thank You Erin (and Patrick.) love you both! You can check out her website http://www.erinrickelton.com/ and buy her awesome paintings!!

And another awesome gift is from Joni, from church, who I have known for oh, 14 years??? She is so thoughful and crafty I just love it!! She cross-stiched this for me and wrote a note along with it and its meaning. I can't tell you how much I love sentimental gifts and the story really related to me. It is sitting on a shelf in my living room and I see it everyday. Thank you so much Joni for your thoughtfulness and for you wonderful example of someone who will "be there." I love you!

Now....
I went to the Dollar store today and found some goodies! I found these white frames that have ribbon on the back to hang them on the wall and as I was walking down the kitchen aisle I saw these placemats!!! I think I might cut the fabric and put them inside of the frames!! It will look nice against my soon to be green walls in the kitchen! And then I got those 3 plaques that are TERRIBLY cheesy looking but I think I will sand, paint and take that silly decal off and do something fun with them!! And for a dollar?! C'mon!!!

I had a weekend project putting together this console table all by myself.

The final product as of today. I have to think hard about accessorizing it because I don't like it at the moment!

I have more projects under my belt, so be sure to check back! Hope all is well...
