1 of a few Authors

There is a new blog I am on, I know I can barely keep up with the ones I already have :), but this blog is really neat. It is all women authors, helping to encourage, strengthen, enlighten, telling stories, helping each other and others who read the blog. While I think I am the only one who has posted anything so far :) there are actually 6 other authors too ranging from different ages, different backgrounds, different outlooks, hope you enjoy. http://lifelegacywenatchee.blogspot.com/

Saving the $$ and going a little more Natural

No I am not a naturalist :) but there are things I am going more natural on and saving a lot of $$. I started making my own laundry soap a few months ago which has saved me a lot of money, I am starting to make my own dish detergent for the dishwasher which only takes 3 ingredients two of which are in the laundry soap so I already have the stuff to make it. Making my own handsoaps, foaming hand wash, and making one bar of soap in three bottles of body wash (less chemicals more natural and ends up being $0.40 per bottle. I have also stopped washing mine and my daughters hair I know some people are like GROSS I know I was at first when I heard about it but I started doing my research and was amazed at the ingredients in shampoo that can harm your hair and skin and the way it affects your scalps natural production of oils and how your hair will over product oils. I have very sensitive skin and used to get very oily hair near the scalp and very dry ends and have frizzy curly wavy hair. I started or tried starting back in October and from my research was warned that it would take a few weeks for your hair to detox, I guess I didn't have patience after a little over a week I was going crazy so washed it and just washed it 2 times a week didn't help. So at the beginning of the year I decided to try it once again and have stuck to it. Yes I do wash it but its not with shampoo's its with a baking soda water and essential oil for fragrance mixture. My hair is very soft, silky, and it is not frizzy which is something I am excited for. I will be honest for the first several weeks while my hair/scalp detoxed it was hard not to wash it but I am glad I gave it time. Now I wash 1-2 times a week with the baking soda mixture and especially after Sunday's because of church extra hairspray etc. I recommend it for everyone my daughters hair is gorgeous and silky soft also.

God what a Wonder

So this last week we had a snow storm it snowed all day Wed, Thurs, and Friday, Saturday we got a break it was a Sunshine day, Sunday it snowed hard, and today it is a gorgeous sunshine day. When I see a sight like pictured below it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen I LOVE IT. It reminds me how artistic, creative, and wonderful our God is. Some people don't like the snow that's great they are entitled to that, but when I see the snow or any magnificent sight like this I ponder what God was thinking, he controls it, he created it. What made him think hmmm I think for one of the seasons I will make this cold white fluffy stuff, lol.
Snow also reminds me of Isaiah 1:18 before the snow comes things are drab, ugly, dead, when it snows it covers all of that filth, it makes it beautiful, magical, then eventually the snow starts melting there is a short period where it's a little drab but then something happens Life happens things start sprouting, they have life, new life. You see there is a purpose for the snow it wipes everything clean making everything white, when the snow starts subsiding it turns to water which nourishes, feeds, to make everything come back to life. So you see this is why I love the Snow :-) it has a purpose God knew that when he created it which is probably why it's referred to in the bible so much with sin and snow cleaning and making clean. My thoughts for this GORGEOUS day.

Girls Trip

So this last week I went on a little trip (just me) with some wonderful and special people. I have not just been on a trip with friends/ladies like that and had so much fun. We did a lot but didn't really at the same time. We ate a lot, laughed a ton, and made priceless memories. I can't wait to do it again. Thank you Rachelle and Sis Sanders I love you guys to the moon and back and am very thankful for you guys.

Something Happens.....

I Love this song I am so excited about it too, I am teaching our sign team this song.
This song is so true, I don't know about you but I know for me when I say his name, for me its passion there is something that happens inside (and out for that matter) that is explainable, like the song says SUPERNATURAL. What other name can you say that has so much meaning, so much power, SO MUCH. I never want to take that name for granted his name is so special, precious, no other, sacred, and powerful I don't ever want to take advantage of it. Sometimes when I don't know what else to pray, when there is so much and my heart is heavy that I don't know where to start all I do is say his name and that is all I say his precious name. He is my best friend, my comfort, my strength, my first love, and I can't imagine LIFE WITHOUT HIM. My heart hurts for people who reject him and his name because with this crazy life there is nothing GREATER. This is why I am so excited to do this song because when I call on his name I know something happens. Ok now to go get tissue I cry about everything :)
