I have to giggle at all the people complaining about the lack of security. I get it. Yes it is an invasion of my privacy but that is kinda why I have a blog and FB! I want to share something. The things that I don’t share are things I want to be kept private!

I am fully aware as to the ramifications this will (note I didn’t say might) have on my future posts whether it be here or on Facebook! I already have friends whose blogs and facebook status updates are censored…no joke!

To be completely honest, I’m flattered ! And i view this as an oppertunity to share the gospel! You know that someone out there that has no virtual face or name is reading your stuff, so instead of giving them lots of complaints we start sharing our one true joy!

Our hope
Our freedom
Our peace
Our redeemer
Our Defender
Our Refuge
Our Rock
Our Savior
Our Friend
OUR JESUS!

And so what if we get censored…..someone somewhere has to read that first, and chances are they don’t know Him! So I will keep writing. I will keep sharing what God is doing in our lives! I am not afraid of what this world can do!

Wow i was super excited to receive an email offering our family a chance to win tickets to the New Crayola Experience in Easton Pa!

It is a totally imaginative and interactive experience for families to enjoy together! As hubby and I talked about the opportunity we thought this would be a great experience for all of our kids this summer but especially for our 5 year old son who is autistic! He loves markers! It’s a rare day he uses crayons and one of the attractions is making your own multi-colored marker.

It’s rare for us to find something like this that fits him so perfectly and even if we don’t win we might just plan a trip in the near future!

The Crayola Experience information has been provided by Crayola.” This post will serve as entry to the sweepstakes. Thank you!
Thanks for the opportunity Coyne PR and Crayola!

Hi all!

Today i was doing laundry, i cleaned the lint trap of the dryer and as I grabbed a handful a Pinterest “Recipe” came flooding back and I said to myself why throw this away when it’s useful.

You see we have a fire pit and even though my husband is a skilled woodworker we sometimes scramble for fire starting materials.

That’s why this Pinterest recipe caught my attention……we through every bit of this recipe away in either the garbage or recycling every week!

So here’s how you do it.

Collect dryer lint enough to fill the wells of a CARDBOARD egg carton. Then take those wax pieces of candle you have been stashing for who knows how long…..i has a jar candle that would no longer stay lit but had a ton of wax left in it. I turned on my candle warmer on (you can melt wax in a pot of boiling water on the stove inside the jar too.). Then you pour the wax over the dryer lint. When it’s dry break it apart and store in a ziplock bag.

When you light it light the cardboard and the wax with the lint will help it burn longer!

Here are a few shots of my progress!

There are those amazing moments in life when friends reach out to you to do the a favor and it is oh so flattering! Noelle and I have been friends since Bible College. Here is something I don’t admit to often…we were on the cheerleading squad together….yep I finally aired that dirty little secret!

Ok are you done laughing now…no…I will give you a minute longer……

Ok I’m declaring the laugh fest over! This book is meant for teen girls. It takes you on a journey to find purpose in this crazy emotional time that each one of us girls must face growing up. Noelle vividly depicts the struggles and the joys of being a teen. How do I know I see it every week in my teen Sunday School class and our youth group. The struggles are the same, the relationships are the same, and the choices are the same. Noelle is able to take her life experiences and communicates them in a clear understanding way. This study does not lack for scripture references and does NOT play hermeneutical gymnastics with the texts!

This book is incredibly solid and poitedly written to show Biblical truths are still relevant today. Matter fact as i read this book, i was impacted by the heart of Noelle as she shared a specific story talking about an unsaved friend. It brings joy to me to see God using the trials Noelle faced in college in such an amazing way. Noelle and I really became friends during that time mentioned in Chapter 7 Forgiven Girl.

I think that in all of the book reviews I have ever done, this one book has the ability to change the most lives. Her candid approach to sensitive topics astounds me! I give this book 6 stars out of 5. And most of all I cannot wait to use this book with the teen girls at our church!

Disclaimer: i in no way shape or form am obligated to give a positive review of this book nor did I receive any compensation for either reviewing the book or giving a positive review. I received a complimentary copy for reviewing via the author.
