Confessional Friday

Today I am confessing to you 

1) it is FRIDAY and a long weekend and all... 

I have plans to hang out with my Maid of Honor for the weekend, she is coming to visit us, It is going to be a great time. 

2) I am moving right along with my Norwex business, it is a great company and I love it so much. 

next week I am doing a post on Norwex and an idea I have. 

3) I have been working a lot of over time again, I had a sick day this week because I feel like I am exhausted. 

4) Fall is in the air, this week I had a pumpkin spice muffin- it was so divine.  I love all things fall 

5) My sister has her surgery at noon today, Please keep her in your prayers. 

Date Night Idea Week 1

I wanted to introduce something new to the blog that I have had some couples email and ask for... they would like to see some date night ideas, so for the next few weeks ( I have no idea how long it will last), I have some date night ideas to share

Idea:
Cook Dinner together
Put the kids to bed earlier, have a late dinner and dessert could be good ;) It is really fun to cook together, we always end up having the best time, we might even throw in a water fight in the midst.  You can do the cooking, then clean up together, it is so much fun, I promise. 

Captive- Review

To be honest this is not the normal type of book for me, I am not a fan of crime, Im more of the fuzzy, feel good love story but when I was asked to read and review, I said sure… 

I started reading it on Friday and you guys, I could not put it down

CAPTIVE: By Ashley Smith

CAPTIVE, based on a miraculous true story that drew the attention of the entire nation, is a thrilling drama about the spiritual collision of two broken lives.  When Brian Nichols - on the run as the subject of a city wide manhunt and desperate to make contact with his newborn son - takes recovering meth addict Ashley Smith hostage in her own apartment, she turns for guidance to Rick Warren’s best-selling inspirational book, The Purpose Driven Life. While reading aloud, Ashley and her would-be killer each face crossroads where despair and death intersect hope. 

I cannot imagine going thru an hostage like Ashley went thru, how she stayed so calm, she did what he asked, he opened up to her, in the end he turned himself in.

Weekend Recap

Friday: It was a co workers last day so that is a hard day, we laugh a lot together so we all did lunch and had a cookie buffet, it was so much fun 

The guy in the front eating is our supervisor, the look on my face is the look I got when I looked over and saw his silly face, they are such a great group, but I am sad to see this project come to an end. I am not done yet, I am still doing a part of the project, Meagan is the first to leave- the one in the back next to me. 

After work hubby surprised me with a date- then we went for a frozen yogurt treat, I love spending time with that man. 

Our friend came to hang out and play games after we got home... it was nice. 

Saturday: 

We went to town to get shoes an leggings for back to school- how is it my child has bigger feet then I do.. sigh. 

Stopped for ice cream, then went by the church to get some centrepieces for Sunday's friend day. 

We had family pizza night and I read some, while hubster and Brooke played minecraft. 

Sunday:

Friend day.. we had one service, we had a pot luck, our pot lucks are so much fun and so much food. 

Have a great week 

Review- 90 minutes in Heaven

If there is any movie you are going to see this year, you should see this one, in theatres everywhere Sept 11. 

It is a story that will stay with you for a long time, in fact I think about it daily. 

We know of three people, from Scripture, who were privileged to see heaven. All of these men, Stephen and the Apostles Paul and John, were alive when they were given a glimpse of the wonders of heaven. 

Don Piper- who was a baptist preacher also got to see heaven when he was in a car crash, he was declared dead at the scene but a pastor waiting on the scene was told to pray for him

He did so, and Piper immediately returned to life. For the 90 minutes that his body lay lifeless inside the car, Piper claims to have been in heaven. He now carries with him memories of paradise and in 90 Minutes in Heaven, a book which has sold over 500,000 copies, he seeks to encourage other Christians with a description of our eternal home. “Because I was able to experience heaven,” he says, “I was able to prepare [friends] for it. And now I am preparing you.”

Confessional friday

Today I confess to you 

1) Yesterday was one month without Leslie who started Confessional Friday. I miss hearing from her so much, it is so hard to be without her. I cannot imagine how Stephen is feeling and her girls, i am so thankful they have their Dad and their aunties to help out. 

2) Last night we had an earthquake here in our town, I was cleaning my kitchen and I felt  a little shake… it was weird, felt like something big hit something big and it was moving fast so it took a hard hit… then in a few minutes it was on the news that we had a small earthquake go thru, I am just glad that hubby is home.

3) My sister has a surgery in one week and I am so worried about her, she has been sick for a little while and they finally decided to do some testing and they found something that has to be removed surgically quickly, so please say a prayer for her. 

4) Hard to believe in 2 weeks we are going to have a 7th grader, how did that happen, wasn’t she just that colicky baby that cried all day long;)

5) Thanks to Kelly over at Kelly's Korner last night I watched the most amazing teaching on Anxiety, you should go and watch it here
