The good ol' days

I thought I would share some pictures of the good ol' days when there was plenty of hard times but enough love and laughter to overcome anything. These are pictures of our family. I enjoy looking back at these and listening to stories told about Working in the tobacco fields and how all the clothes where hung outside to dry . Kids played outside for hours and you knew your neighbor as well as family. We live in Carter county Ky all the pictures are from right here . The picture of all the children is from the one room school house my husbands great great grandpa attended.

My kids baptism pictures

Here are the pictures of my kids getting baptised . They where baptised by Jimmy Barker the preacher at our church Grahn Freewill Baptist Church.. The first picture is Emma, Sarah , Jessie, and Shay The Lord is so good to us. I hope to get back to taking more home pics soon. I have been doing  some tweaking but I just couldn't skip posting these pictures and showing how great the Lord is .  I hope everyone has a great weekend....

My New Year goals.

I hope everyone had a very happy New year. We spent our new year home watching my favorite WLJC watch night service and can you just believe that 1000 plus souls were saved just last night.... My family had a rocky 2010 so we are looking forward to a calmer 2011. I have a few goals for my self and a few for our family too. My main goal for myself is to try to become more healthy and loss a few pounds ...well actually about 50 pounds.  I would also like to get caught up on my health checkups but I won't go into that on this post just yet. My goals for my family are attending more church services , doing more family gatherings in our new home... And  I would really like to get my kids involved in the community. I also have a 17 year old now (wow they grow up quick)who I plan on helping with a banking account driving and a summer job. I know this is a very big list .... I want  to thank the lord for bringing my family into a new year safe and sound and being there in our hearts everyday. No matter how low we have got the lord has always been there to lift us out ...So thank you Lord from the bottom of my heart. I have also gotton so many sweet comments left on my blog and I feel like even though I don't know you all except on the Internet your all close to my heart and always in my prayers. So Happy New year to everyone ...God bless through this 2011..........

Waiting on a baptism

Hello, I already posted today but I thought everyone would want to hear my great news concerning a few of my kids . Well first off my 14 year old got save about 2 weeks ago . Then last week my 12 year old son went to the alter and also decided he wanted the lord in his life ... Well the most awakening thing for me was when my 6 year old daughter sat crying wanting to go up and sing with the adults ... So of course she went up and sang the best she could smiling back at her daddy and me the whole time. When they got done singing and all came back the preacher asked if anyone had anything in there heart She raised her hand like she was in class stood up and said ( Ive got Jesus in my heart) At that point I had tears in my eyes . Well she ended up going up and praying she said she got saved ... It is amazing to me that there are so many adults out there lost but a six year old feels the love of the lord so strong in her heart and knows he is real. She has been so happy She even told me that she went to school and told everyone . I know that children are already going to heaven but I couldn't tell her not to do what god put upon her heart.They haven't got to get baptised yet due to weather here but as soon as they do I will be sure to post pics.  My children , well all children can feel the love of god ... Iam just so so thankful for all these blessings .Till next time take care and God bless all my prim friends.
