Christmas by Picture

My pretty presents before Christmas!

We had cautious openers.....

And not so cautious openers!

Babies secretly hopped up on pepsi.......

Daddies who figured they were gift enough......

Aunts blessed with amazing gifts of their own......

And then the proposal.........

And this is what those pretty presents looked like post Christmas!!

14 children ages 2-12. 9 adults including one very, very pregnant woman. One marriage proposal, too many presents to count and one very special charm bracelet.......it was a beautiful night!

I hope your Christmas was even a tad as merry as mine!

Hope

Thought I'd share a pic of my new tatoo. I just got it last night and personally think it rocks!

Cardboard Testimonies Revisited.

I originally posted this video a while back but just saw it again on another blog. She asked the question what would your sign say. I thought of one, posted it and then began to think how many more I could have. I think I could make a whole video as long as this one with just my signs. Sad in a way yet what an amazing blessing that each and every one of my signs can be flipped over to reveal the truth and the healing He has worked in my life. I figured I'd start posting all of the signs I could come up with for myself and see where it takes me. Fact of the matter is, no one but me really reads this blog and I'm ok with that. I figure one day, when the pressure of my life as it is today is bearing down on me and darkness threatens to reinsert itself in my heart and mind, I can come back to this post and remember the ways God has already flipped my world upside down, turned it inside out and truly given me beauty for all the burned out ashes that made up the first 30 years of my life. So here goes.......



I allowed my child to be killed out of fear

He allowed His Son to be killed out of love....for me.



Childhood sexual abuse left me broken and alone.

Now whole and healed and forever in His grip.



Cutter

By His stripes I am healed.



Child of an abusive home

Daughter of the one true King.



Divorcee

The bride of Christ



Sought love in the arms of men.

Found love in the arms of Grace.



Believed a million lies.

His truth has set me free.



Borderline Personality Disorder

Firmly rooted in my Father's acceptance.



Attempted Suicide

Found life in Christ.



Hidden beneath a veil of shame

He took my shame upon Himself, I am a new creation!





That's all I can think of for now. I may add more as I remember other areas where Christ has radically changed my life.
