Well it's been awhile since I blogged anything.  so much has happened in the last 4 plus years.   The biggest change is that I have gone back to school.  I scared at first do to the challenges of school growing up (that's a whole nother story, that at this time I don't have time to share..lol).  I started Spring 2017 and here we are in spring of 2019 woo~hoo!  I'm really enjoying my time in school I'm learning A LOT about myself.  Right now i'm just doing part time student, and with that I'm still able to be home with our youngest son and still be a wife. 
Wish I had more time to share, but life of a student, mom and wife I have to cut this short. I do hope to come back and share more of what I're learned about myself and even share some of my homework with you all.  Super excited about what God is doing in and through my time at our local junior college.
State turned!

New Phase~

I know I haven't blogs much in the last couple years about our family.  We are doing well our oldest has transfers to a local University. So honored to be his mom. #2 son has graduated from high school and is going to the local Junior Collage. #3 son is in 10th grade this year..  So my life is shifting into knew places or thinks..  I'm leaning on the LORD to come to know who I am in Him and what am I to do in this next chapter, phase or shift into.  So I say all that so you many know why you might see more of my rambling..lol Not so much about the boys but what God is sharing with me..  I'm excited as the LORD shapes the young men in my life the wonderful things he has planned for them and also shapes their Momma for the wonderful things he has set out for me too..

¹¹ For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. ¹² Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. ¹³ And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:11-13

Christ in you, the hope of glory!!

Where is your hope?  Have you misplaced your hope?  What does hope mean to you?
These questions have been rolling around in my head for some time.
BUT I'm happy to say I have found my HOPE!!
My HOPE IS IN CHRIST JESUS!!
Gods word says "To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory". Colossians 1:27

  Thank you God for making known the richness of your glory though Christ Jesus!!
Ephesians 1:18 "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people." 

 I'm so thankful that God is opening the eyes of my heart to who I am in Him.  He is giving me the understanding of who I am in Christ!!


We are living in exciting times!!  We Carriers of God get to share HIS love to others..

Nov 21, 2013

Jazzing up Boxed Brownies Mix

So today I was watch some morning show (wish I could remember with one is was to give it credit).  One of the ladies was sharing how she added some yummy things to her brownies mixes and it go me thinking...lol  Yeah I know dangerous thing...lol This is what I came up with.. 

Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies... Oh my good!!!

 This is right out of the over....

OK.. OK I will let you know how I made them...  So each and simple..
First you will need a box of brownie mix.  Mix it just like the box says to and pour it into a 9x13.
Then you will mix together
8 oz cream cheese
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
When its all whipped together you will add spoonfuls all over the top of the brownie mix and then swirl the cream cheese mixture and brownie mixture together.. Oh and add a couple handfuls of fresh Raspberries and back  at 350 for about 30 mins...  oh man its good and the smell is heavenly...

Here is another look  just because..lol

Wow.. Its been almost 2 years to the day..lol Not much has changed still in the rental still leaning on the LORD, Still learning how to stay on budget. Matt is being faithful with his studies at the JR. Collage and is helping us with Nathan. I'm so thankful that God blessed us with a wonderful #1 son, Matt has give up so much to help us, I don't know if I will even really be able to bless him in the way I would so love to.. But God will bless him even more then I could even imagine. Thank you God for allowing me to be apart of this amazing man's life. Sam is in the 10th grade in high school and for the most part doing well. He is learning who he is in the LORD and what he is really passionate about and right now its BASEBALL!! Nathan is still going to the same school as before but has a new teacher and staff that I'm really enjoying watching him grow in to a wonderful young man who is starting to truly understand God's love and faithfulness.. Thank you God for the privilege for being the queen of these amazing prince's..
