Welcome!!!
Have a glass of my home brewed Kombucha tea!
Now savor a bite of homemade fresh baked sourdough bread!
10 things about me
1) I love the Lord and work hard at becoming a woman after His heart. Although I'm not perfect, it's the quest for perfection in Him that keeps me working toward His glory.
2) My family is the single most important thing in my life outside of my God. I have a wonderful husband and a quiverful of five beautiful children, 1 boy and 4 girls!
3) Homemaking! I create an atmosphere of praise and worship in my home with gospel music, soft encouraging words, family bible study and my homemaking. I believe I'm serving the Lord when I serve my family! When I put on my apron (I love aprons!), I'm transformed into a servant of the Lord in my home.
4) I love to create things with my hands. Ex. interior design, homemade foods, gardening, scrapbooking, DIY fashion, sewing etc.. Please take a moment to browse my shop
5) I LOVE animals!! Any and all kinds. I'm a happy mommy to King Edwards of Shreveport. King for short, a Pomeranian and a grey kitty named Misty.
6) Modesty and Femininity are my passions in my style of dress. I host Feminine Fridays each week, where you can link up post or pics on the topic. Please feel free to join us!!
7) I love to dance to lift up the name of Jesus! I also teach praise dance at our church. I enter into a place of worship when I dance that overwhelms me.
8) I'm a bargain hunter and always try not to pay full price for anything. I love clothes, especially shoes!! But, I'm serious about the finances entrusted to us by our Lord. I DIY fashion whenever possible or thrift shop.
9) I love to write. I just finished my book and I have a collection of poems.
10) Prayer changes things! I belong to a prayer group outside church and we really have a great time uplifting each other. I also have a prayer journal just for prayer because it's so important to me.
