Disturbed....OPINIONS PLEASE!!!???!!!




Ive not posted in a while so I'm well over due. A lot has been going on around here. We've finished up all the schooling that needs to be submitted to our cover-school admin. Just haven't mailed it off yet. (Makes mental note to do that) We are excited about summer and the slower pace and freedom that it brings.What would summer be if you did not kick it off by the pool. We did just that last week. It was so refreshing to just veg by the pool all day. No deadlines or schedules to make or complete. Just literally took the day off.

That my dear friends and followers, brings me to my next conclusion.  There is  very little modesty left in today's society. Ill be first to admit that back in my youth, I wasn't modest either. Thinking back to some of the things I wore out of my house back in the day is disturbing. I was a bit naive, not really understanding that my attire would cause some godfearing men to lust in a moment of weakness. However, Im was not so naive as to knowing my objective in wearing such attire.  I knew full well it would draw attention and I wanted it. How ashamed I am of my sin and actions. How blessed I am that God convicted me of my sin and changed my heart. Thank you Jesus!!

Sitting at my computer tonight looking through some of my daughters facebook friends walls, I'm disturbed! I find that many young girls are posing in thier skimpy bikini's and placing them in public photo albums for all to see. I just wonder where the parents are, or what they are thinking???   What I did in my youth, Im quite ashamed of but my parents never told me "you cant leave the house in that"  We as parents need to step up to the plate and inform our children about the consequence of these actions and photos. Its our job to protect and inform them. We have the God given right to forbid such actions as well. I know we all have different convictions and rules but, I personally would never allow this in my home. Does anyone agree or disagree?  How do some of you young ladies feel about this topic?

Blessing,
 Stephanie

All in a Day: Open House - Master Bedroom


I have been meaning to get in our master bedroom for weeks, months actually, to try to get things back in order. Seems like ever since the baby was born this rooms sort of become a catch all... Ever been there? Well, the problem I have is that when he is sleeping, I clean!! But, I cant clean this room cause hes sleeping in there! I'd sure hate to wake him, know what I mean? Shhhh...... He is sleeping now, as I am taking these pictures.


Before we moved the desk in here, the playpen was on this side under all the baby decorations on the wall... Man, I really need to take them down... Im ready for the baby to start sharing a room with his older brother so we can turn this room back into more of a rest haven for us grown ups too. Its a short season though, they do grow up so fast! I am sure Ill find myself wishing we had a baby to share the room with again in the near future.
