When do you take your tree down?

When do you put up your tree and when do you take it down?? With one exception my whole adult life I have put my tree up the day after thanksgiving (or very close to it), except 2 yrs ago when I was 9m pregnant lol!! We take it down after one full week of January! I love the tree it is my favorite part of christmas, and the lights of course! It keeps me in the spirit, which is very hard to do! So, enjoy and don't take it down yet!

Reed Michael

Christmas post can wait! Here is my new nephew and Kater's 2nd birthday present. Reed Michael Bay was born 12-26-08 at 8:19am!! He weighed 8lbs 2 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long! Isn't he great!

Christ as the Savior

Col 1:12-14

Our greatest problem is SIN, one way or another every problem you have you can relate back to sin. Romans 1:32 says people who deserve death will do it anyway and will approve others who do it as well. 8:32 says you can hear the natural world groaning. How true is this???

Our greatest need is a solution to SIN. Talking nor ritual will solve it. Someone from outside the situation, someone who can meet the demands of the Holy God. Someone who has power to overcome Satan and human will. Well, who is that?? GOD!!!!

Why is God so effective? He rescues us! Savior doesn't have the same meaning it used to so the word rescurer was used. The words are synonyms. Weather the edge of diaster or eternal seperation. He sacrificed himself through Christ, making it the most darring rescue mission in history! The Lord payed the price.

He transfers us to another realm, deports us to the Kingdom of love and light. He redeems us. We owed a debt we could NOT pay. So, he payed it for us. He secures forgivness of our sin, he sends it away, cancels the debt.

Sin is not sicksness. You can unregister from this deal by refusing to do it God's way. You can also reregister. You can lose and fall from grace-hard and on purpose.

I will never again be enslaved by satan. He will look through my files but they will GONE!! I don't fear judgement. Christ payed the price for me so I do what he wants as best I can.

1John 1:7 says walk in the light, not sinlessly I LOVE IT!!!!

We are qualified, competent, adequit, suffeciet, fit! It's not WHAT it is WHO! God through Christ. Completion!

I have my head high! I am heaven bound. I have GOD! AMEN!!!

Worry makes you the center of your world. With God as the center you have no worries!

Praise God the Father, his love, Jesus, his son, Lord of every aspect of our lives. Crown him!!!

Show it anyway to everyone all the time.

Light Shine on me!!

Squeezing it in!

I got 5 mins to myself today so I am giving it to blogging. That is sad lol!

We didn't do much today cause it is COLD outside. I hope tomorrow is better so I can vaccum out the van before we LOAD it up with presents and suitcases!! We are leaving on Christmas Eve to go see my momma!!!

The boys, Bryan and I played games tonight we played a young version of BINGO and 2 different Clue games! We had tons of fun. Then we read all our family chirstmas books and sang songs while drinking hot chocolate!! YUM!!!!

Tomorrow it is laundry, cleaning and potty training!

My Poinsetta Cake

I forgot you all wanted to see it. I am by no means a professional. I make cakes for the fun of it! I have a good time and I like others to like I what I do for them. However, that being said, I got this cake all made and pretty and was going to finish with the flowers and my daughter decided to dig in lol so it is still great but it has a couple of patch jobs! This was for the Christmas party of my girlfriends and I!! Oh it was my first time to make a bow too! What do you think?
