Getting Stronger...

"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them."

Psalm 139:13-16 ESV

Still Praying...

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will give you strength, I will bring you help, I will uphold you with the right hand of my justice. (Isaiah41:10)

I am trying to remember these words this week...This has been a sad and trying week for our little family...Praying for stronger days ahead.

Prayers, Please

Can't say what for, but prayers, please for me tomorrow...Hope everyone has had a blessed and wonderful weekend and Sunday...

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."- Romans 15:13.

Fire in the Office - Literally!

We had a fire in our office this morning.  Yes, our home office, as in right here in our house.  It freaks me out to no extent...It was not major and nobody was hurt...The only casualty was the table cover that was on the table where it started...and the paint on the wall...and my nerves. 

P. had just left for work and I was in the kitchen cleaning the coffee maker...Just normal routine stuff...When Priscilla Pug started sort of barking/howling.  The pugs are in the office...that is their room, so imagine my panic when I walk in and see flames and smoke with my precious babies right in there with it!  I panicked and threw water on the fire...NOT smart, my friends.  It only shot up higher.  It started from a Slatkin Candle from Bath and Body Works and flames started shooting up from the candle as the candle had sort of imploded and caught on fire if that makes sense...Imagine the glass cracking and the candle sort of bursting/melting/flaming there on the end table. 

Needless to say I remembered our fire extinguisher and utilized it...It is MESSY!  However, it did the job and our room/house was salvaged!  So blessed it wasn't worse or that I wasn't in the shower, or whatever...I can't count the times I have lit a candle and just walked off...never again.

Lesson of the Day - Keep a fire extinguisher handy in the house!

Boots for Sale

I recently bought a pair of boots that I just loved, but I got them a half size too big.  :(  I was hoping thick socks would make them work, but after a failed attempt, I think I have to part with these!

They are Coconuts by Matisse "Thornbird" boots...They are the tan color in a 7.5...Please message me on here or e-mail to tlk411@aol.com if interested.  Asking $75 as they have only been worn once...Still have box as well.

Very comfy and very pretty in suede...just too big for me!
