Happy Mother's Day!

Today, I was awakened by the sweetest gift ever, my daughter Scarlett. Nothing can compare to the joy of being a mother. Nothing. Every day, I thank God for the gift of allowing me (me!) to have the privilege of being a mother to my daughter.

Although my husband and daughter has bought me a book, made a card, brought breakfast to me, and treated me like queen all day, it all paled beside just holding my kiddo.

May you have a wonderful and blessed Mothers Day.

Tomato plants

Miss Scarlett and I just planted our first of (hopefully many) tomato plants. We need to seriously get the garden ready for the rest of our plantings. It has been crazy busy here of late, and we are behind!

Our tomatoes are Roma and Rutgers. I would love to have a little cherry tomato plant as well as a couple of good slicing tomatoes to just eat with corn or by themselves.

Maybe tomorrow evening we can work on getting the garden patch ready to plant...

Whew!

Well, am I ever glad that the insurance exam is over! I passed it. I could not have done it without the many, many prayers of family and friends. In the background all during the test, I kept humming a Rickey Skaggs song called, "Somebody's Praying (for Me)". It kept me from totally freaking out.

Thank goodness it is over!

Brief Hiatus...

I am going to take a brief hiatus from blogging/internet/etc until I get my Property and Casualty test taken and (hopefully) passed. Please say some prayers for me that I pass all four sections the first time through. I covet those prayers! Thanks!

What happens when you let Miss Scarlett run wild with your makeup...

A diva-in-training!

Goodbye, Connie B...

Today is a little less bright because a dear soul has gone on to be with Jesus. My step-grandfather, Connie B., passed away today at 1:09 p.m. His daughter, Brenda, and granddaughter, Leigh Ann, were there by his side to see him on his way.

See you on the other side, Connie B. You will be missed.

Chronological Bible

I have finally figured out a way to read through the entire Bible. I bought myself a chronological Bible and just started reading. It reads more like a story when things are in order of date. If you have had trouble trying to read the Bible, I highly recommend the New Living Translation version of the One Year Chronological Bible published by Tyndale.

I did not realize that reading the entire Bible in the order the events actually occurred would make such a difference to me, but it has! I can only wonder why the Bible was not put together this way to begin with!
