An Overdue Life Report

Dear Readers,

I do believe this post is long overdue. My life has been a crazy roller coaster! Since I last posted, I have had a few adventures. The best one being that the Lord has blessed me with a loving and kind husband. Not to mention handsome! Christopher and I met almost 6 years ago through a mutual friend. We quickly become good friends and kept in frequent communication. In the spring on 2019, he and his brother came down for a short visit before he left for basic training in the U.S. Army. We wrote each other weekly, although at this time we were still just friends. My father and I were able to attend his graduation later the same year and it was then we both realized there could be something more. Christopher was sent to South Korea for a year. Much happened within that year! We become dating just two weeks after he left and were married by Double Proxy in July of 2020! The Lord truly put everything together before our eyes and brought complete peace to both our parents and ourselves.

Oh, what a joyous day when Christopher arrived home! We had our wedding ceremony and celebrated the Lord's marvelous work in our lives!

We were able to take our wedding pictures at a beautiful, old church!

I have truly been blessed with some wonderful and sweet In-Laws! I was very excited to created this picture of three generations!

Although I haven't known Papa for very long, His relationship is one I have grown to cherish and enjoy!

David sure has grown into a tall young man! He sure towers over his short sisters :)

My lovely mothers

So very dashing, indeed!

Oh, how I cherish the friendship I have with these two sisters! I was so very happy to have them by my side!

My dear sister and I were only married about 1 1/2 weeks apart from each other and only wish we could have had a double wedding! How fun that would have been!

Although it has been a year of great changes, it has also been the greatest year of my life! The Lord has been so gracious, so good and kind! Our prayer is that we will glorify and honor the Lord with our marriage and we will raise our children to follow Him with all their heart!

A Little Common Sense from Mrs. Dunwoody

"All of us carry in our hearts and minds the image of our ideal home, realized or not. It is a place where we feel we belong, a rightness, at-homeness, a knitting together of self and world...as Dear Mother used to say, "Home is the place where you can restore your mind, body, and soul." We often take our home for granted. But when we steep ourselves in our home, a deep sense of place begins to emerge...Our homes will only be generous and nurturing as the effort we invest in them. All family members will carry the atmosphere we create in our homes for the rest of their lives." A RECIPE FOR A HAPPY HOME Half a cup of friendship, and a cup of thoughtfulness, creamed together with a pinch of powered tenderness, very lightly beaten in a bowl of loyalty with a cup of faith, one of hope, and one of charity. Be sure to add a spoonful of gaiety that sings, also the ability to laugh at the little things. Moisten with sudden tears of heartfelt sympathy, bake in good-natured ...

Apple Crisp Delight

I have recently taken a sabbatical from working full-time and found joy and peace in being a full-time housekeeper for a short time. The desire to keep a consistent routine, budget, and menu is incredible. I have always struggled to plan meals and to be creative in the kitchen. Pinterest has been a great tool in helping me with great recipes. I have been trying to prepare one dessert a week. This past week, I found the best Apple Crisp recipe and I just had to share!

Crafting Home Decorations

As a Christian I am called to be a prayer warrior. This is much easier said then done. I have come to realize the importance of good friends that can come alongside you and keep you accountable and encourage you. This past year the Lord has brought such a wonderful friend into my life. As we have been encouraging each other to use the powerful tool of prayer, we decided we could craft a prayer board in order to remind us and encourage us to pray daily. I highly recommend doing this as a family or church craft. What a wonderful way to lift up the requests of our brethren and ourselves! I was able to introduce my friend to the wonderful store of Hobby Lobby! We may have spent a lot of money, however, it was for a good cause! I do believe they turned out very nicely! I would encourage you to ask people for prayer requests. Prayer is such a powerful tool and we are called to use it. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay...
