Prayer Please

  I just wanted to ask for prayer, my Mom is going in for a hysterectomy tomorrow (Tuesday), and she will be in recovery for at least a month. Please pray that everything goes well, and for me, as I will be cooking meals and cleaning full time. Thanks!!

A Visit to the Creek

Hi y'all!

I'm so sorry I haven't posted before now, moving has really been taking up my time. Finally, I've found a few minutes to spare :)
   I've been wanting to post some pictures I took when spring first started ( which, I'm unhappy to say, is ending ) of our creek and my brothers. I hope you all enjoy them!!! :)

My brother, Robert.

                                                                 

I hope you all appreciate that my freshly-painted green toe nails were messed up for your enjoyment ;)

A rovk that my brother said looks just like a dog's head. I think he's right:)

                               

I hope you enjoyed this post ♥ Some time over the next month or so, Julia will be guest posting! I can't wait to see what she posts about :) Have a nice day!

Hugs,

Head Covering - My Testimony

source

  Hi everyone! I 'm so sorry I haven't had the chance to update my blog sooner! I've been super busy, packing, cleaning, and all the other stuff that comes with moving :P But that doesn't mean you guys aren't in my thoughts ♥! I'm hoping to post some before and after pics of some of the rooms in our new house. We are going to be repairing, repainting, and of course decorating the whole house. It's gonna be fun!!!
   Ever since I posted a post on modest fashion, I've had a few girls ask me where I stand on the issue of head covering, one of whom asked for me to share how I came to start wearing them, and my convictions on this issue.
  When I was around 5 or 6, my Mom became convicted to cover her head during times of worship because of 1 Corinthians 11:3-15.  She started to cover my hair as well. As time went on, we realized that in order to fully obey 1 Cor. 11:5,13, we would need to cover our heads daily. At first, my Dad wasn't sure whether he agreed with our convictions, but eventually, he grew to agree and appreciate them. We have experimented with several kinds of head coverings. The styles we like best look something like this :

Oops!

About two weeks ago, I published a post called " All natural homemade face and body moisturizer ", which I had been working on. Unfortunately, it was in my drafts folder, so it was posted under the date in which it had originally been started. Meaning any other posts I had already published would still show up as my most recent posts. Long story short, it ended up being posted before " Ideas For Recycling Odd Socks  " . Just wanted to let you guys know that it's my most recent post, other than the one letting everybody know about Sarah's giveaway. I would love for you to visit it!!!
  Sorry if my grammar is a bit choppy, my head isn't wanting to work :P, and I'm not feeling to great. Hugs,
