Born for This

I LOVE THIS SONG
it doesn't matter what anyone else is going to do, its what am gonna do. Am I going to be the Radical change I wanna see, I can't expect someone else to do it for me, I need to stand and not wait but do it myself, be it myself. I WILL BE THE RADICAL CHANGE WILL YOU.

Anoint ME

There is a song called Anoint Me Lord, I love the words of this song all of them but especially the chorus, here is the chorus.

Anoint me Lord this day
As I go along my way
Let my life send forth a glow
Let the oil around me flow
Anoint me Lord
This day I pray
Amen

I think this needs to be included in our prayer everyday, we can tell people all day about God all day, his grace, his love, his mercy, his sacrifice, that he is coming back again soon, but if they don't see and feel God in us how can we expect them to hear our words believe them. I have always said ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. Don't get me wrong my words need to be Christ like but if my actions are not more than my words how can I expect my words to affect anyone. Well there I go getting side tracked.:) Outside my home and even in my home with my children because they are watching, but no matter where I am who I am with I want them to see GOD, his anointing, his love, his mercy, his compassion, his sincerity, his grace, every aspect of him I want them to see it in me. I want them to long for, desire, want what I have because what I have is the greatest gift of all. So Lord as I go along my way today let my life send forth a glow let the oil around me flow anoint me LORD I pray.

Here is the song

I'm Running to The Mercy Seat

I love this song, I am so thankful for God's mercy. He doesn't have to give it to me or anyone but he chooses to and wants too. I don't know what I would do without God first in my life he has carried me through and been merciful throughout my life and the greatest life I live is for him, and I am trying to teach my children that.

He said that I could come into
His presence without fear
Into the holy place where
His mercy hovers near

I'm runnin' I'm runnin'
I'm runnin' to the mercy seat
Where Jesus is callin' he said
His grace would cover me
His blood will flow freely
It will provide the healin'
Come runnin' to the mercy seat
I'm runnin; to the mercy seat.

Making Laundry Detergent

So I have heard about making your own laundry soap before but never did it. Recently my Pastor's wife did and said she loves it. So I decided to try it last night went and purchased everything I needed which I found all of the ingredients at Walmart supercenter, first you take a 1/3 of your Fels-Naptha bar and grate it, boil 4 cups of water, once water is boiling add the grated bar and whisk until completely melted, then add 4 more cups if hot water, add 1/2 cup of Borax, and 1/2 cup of Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda and whisk until melted, be careful cause it can get bubbly quick, once melted take off burner. If you would like it to have a little bit of a smell you can use about 40 drops of your favorite essential oil fragrance or get a small thing of your favorite smell of detergent and substitute a cup full of it for the water, I just use essential oil because I already have it from massages. Now this recipe makes 2 gallons there is a 5 gallon recipe which I can get for you but I don't have an easy to use 5 gallon bucket laying around or the room for it, I used a large ( like Costco liquid) size laundry detergent container I already had or you can use 2 milk jugs. If you use one container put 22 cups of water in it, if you use 2 put 11 cups in each container. Then add your hot laundry mixture 1 container it will be all of it 2 containers will be about 4 cups each container. Shake and let sit for 24 hours, occasionally mix because I guess the solids can sometimes separate from the liquid, I didn't have this problem but just be aware of it. I haven't tried mine yet but will be Thursday ( laundry day) and let you know if I like it for the past 2-3 years I have been stuck on this all natural detergent called Eccos so I am a little weary. This recipe is very cheap to make costing between $1-$1.50 a gallon to make so for the 2 gallons it cost about $2.50 to make that is CHEAP

A little taste of heaven on earth

This stuff is so good, yum yum yum. As the Holiday season nears my family always has a craving for hot cocoa, we drink it almost every night. We all have our favorites the kids get no sugar added they are just happy it's chocolate :-), my husband likes any of it also but really likes the dark chocolate and my favorite is candy cane hot cocoa and the dark chocolate. You can make candy cane hot cocoa yourself I actually do, but it is still to early to buy Candy Canes, so I found this till Candy Canes do come in season. It so YUMMY but I like mint and chocolate together :-)

All by Myself, 

So tomorrow at church we are having a fundraiser for "Signs of LIFE Praise", we are having a dinner. My Pastors wife who usually leads the decorating was going to be gone so I had to decorate solo, I love decorating but when it is for someone or something my nerves get to me. So I followed my gut feeling and first instinct. I had great help and opinions from one of my dear friends and one of the young ladies who is part of our sign team, I am very excited and nervous to see what people think.

Making Points

My husband often surprises me with things, leaves me notes, sweet text messages etc, and I do the same as well. He has been very busy the last couple weeks and I have hardly seen him, I have missed him :-). Well this week he made big points, he was on a job in Portland painting, painted this before painting the wall all the way and sent it to me :-)
