Happy Birthday Jared!!!

Dear Readers,

Yesterday was my dear brother's Birthday! I can't believe how fast he is growing up. I'm so proud of the young man he is becoming. He always wants to do what God would have him do, and always wants to help in any way he can! I can't imagine life without him. He always has a big smile on his face! I thank God so much for him!

Victoria, Jared and Me

Jared really wants be a godly young man and I can see how he wants to serve the Lord with all his heart!

I'm so blessed to see what God is doing in not only Jared's life but in all of ours!

Proverbs 17:17 says: A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

Your Friend,

Sisters!

God created this amazing relationship called sisters. We live together, play together, fight together, worship together and grow up together. I have two sisters and its been so much fun to become closer through the years. We aren't just sisters--we are best friends and no matter what happens we will always be there for each other. I'm not sure when this picture was but it was around 2011-2013 Bess and I at her last recital las May Grabbing lunch during our home remodel. This picture was taken in April of last year And this is a recent picture, taken on my grandmothers birthday. All I can say is I thank God for my sisters and all my family. Your Friend, Haviland~

I may have shed a tear or two for joy. Gardening is very therapeutic for me. It is also such a wonderful way to see how creation works and how wonderful and amazing our God is! I began to read the instructions and decided I would record the process to share with you all. Shouldn't we share in one another's joy? I think so! The set came with a plant light.

This has been very discouraging, since, I love to have flowers and plants in the house to brighten and cheer up a room. The set came with three packs of seeds, a tea strainer (which is adorable), dirt, four burlap bags, n...

This past Sunday I did my first Character Sketch. I was so nervous! But thankfully it went well. I hope you enjoy it and that you will be richly blessed! THE STORY OF JOHN & BETTY STAM Betty held her baby in her arms, singing softly to this infant child, all to aware that this was their last night together. Her husband John, tied to a bedpost, could not sleep either. Only two weeks before they had arrived at their mission station with three month old Helen Priscilla, full of hope and eager for ministry. But on this cold winter night, their quiet lullabies were a parting sorrow, for tomorrow they would die. Elisabeth Alden was born on February 22, 1906. She was the daughter of missionary parents in China. When her family returned to the states she enrolled in Wilson Collage in Pennsylvania, from which she graduated. Knowing that she needed more preparation for the mission field, she then went to Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. It was there...
