little sad.

Around this time last year God blessed my life incredibly by allowing me to move into a live with the sweetest married couple in the world, Dr. and Mrs. Guynes.  Mrs. Guynes passed away this past Saturday, and she is now with the Lord. I know she is in a much better place but she is going to be missed very much by a lot of people. Please keep the Guynes family in your prayers. I can not even begin to describe how much they mean to me. Father, I pray that you will touch Dr. Guynes, his daughters, and son, and grandchildren, father touch them Lord, and heal their hearts, Bless them during this time of incredible loss. Encourage them to leave a legacy like she has left. I love you and I praise you, Amen.

Nothing More, Nothing Less

I start off my days by waking up, reading the word of God, and then eating breakfast, and either I go straight to work out, or I sit and watch the morning talk shows like, Good Morning America, Rachel Ray, Nate Berkus, and The View. This particular morning I decided to watch TV then go spend some time on the elliptical. As you know, The View

 is a talk show with some lovely ladies telling their "view" on today's hot topics. One of the "Hot Topics" today had to do with a new version of the Bible being written and printed, and in this new version, instead of saying the virgin Mary, they are saying a young girl named Mary. I understand why people are changing the literature, and putting it in more simple ways to understand, but how far is to far.

Does the words "a young girl named Mary" tell the truth about how our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was brought into this world, or does it distort the truth behind the Gospel Message?

Truth is, Christ was born from a humble VIRGIN vessel. I believe strongly that Jesus was not birthed by a rich and powerful women that could have draped him in gold and silver and the worlds finest linens, because God desired to show us how humble his entrance was, and how his life on earth was to never be seen as a "show".

Jesus was sent to this world to A. Be born of a virgin, B. To live an ordinary life, facing the same things everyone else at His time had to face, and not choosing sin, C. To pay the ultimate costs for our sins, by being crucified on the cross, D. To be risen from the dead on the third day.

Christ was sent to this world with one thing in mind....YOU. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you would have been the only one....Jesus Christ would have still died for you.

I hope and pray everyone has a Blessed Easter. 

Easter Egg....Nope guess again!

So my amazing sister, Haley, is having her first child in about 2 weeks, and I couldn't be happier. I can not wait to meet little Graham Jacob Pool. I just know he is going to be the cutest little boy in all the world!

Today, is also my sister and her husband, Jake's 2 year anniversary. So congrats also goes to them for that!! When I called to congratulate her she asked if I had received the text she had sent me, and I hadn't noticed that I had gotten one. Then I checked and there it was: This Picture

and I know what you are thinking, because I was thinking it too...what a pretty easter egg! Boy of Boy were we wrong...this is her BELLY!! OMG she has gotten soooo big...in a beautiful, prego, cute kind of way, not a nasty, you need to lose some weight, kind of way. Because she is so cute I would like to award her with the                                   Cutest Pregnant Lady Ever!! 

(This Ribbon Makes The Award Official)

She's just my sister and all...no big deal! No but for real, all joking aside, she is going to be the BEST mom ever, she has wanted kids since she was a kid, and Graham is going to be loved by some pretty incredible parents!

He is due on the 7th, but I have a feeling we will be meeting him on the 4th. :)  I don't know why I feel this, we can just call it auntie intuition. :) Anyway, be sure to stop back by to see some photos of my handsome nephew!!  Here is one of him we have now...

Don't you just wanna SQUEEZ him?!

Night Y'all

Busy, Busy, Busy

PHEW...It's been a busy day! Our church (Village West Family Church) is putting on an

EGGSTREME EGGSTRAVAGANZA

If you live in there area you should come check it out! It's going to be TONS of fun! 3 prizes for every age group and 1 grand prize and over 7,000 eggs!! Now that's a lot of candy!!

Like I said though, I am super busy, so I gotta hop! Hope to see you there! Have a great day y'all!

I've Noticed

So I have noticed that I am a little different than most people my age.

For Example:
1. I love to go to bed early
2. I love to wake up early
3. My favorite thing to do on Saturday mornings is to go to the local farmers market, flea markets, and       garage sales
4. I enjoy just sitting on the porch and watching people and cars go by
5. I enjoy the simple things in life

Now, I have no idea if all this is because I am a country girl or if I am an old soul. However, recently I got the chance to go to the farmers market here in KC...easily the BEST farmer's market I have ever been too. If you are ever in the area, you have got to check it out.

Those cookies....simply amazing. They were from two sweet little old ladies booth.

This little boy was a mess, he and his brothers and sisters loved these rocks...their mom did not like that they were throwing them at each other, can't say that I blame her. 

Sweet little girl and her daddy.

These seasoning were simply tasty! We bought a few scoops, and were not disappointed. 

JW and I had a blast this day. Can't wait to go again. 

Be sure to take the time to enjoy the simple things God has blessed you with every day, sun rise, breath, etc. 

Hope you enjoyed today's blog.

Come back soon y'all. 

You're blessed when you're content with just who you are - no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought. - Matthew 5:5 (TM)
