Got Truck?

Hey Gang...

Searched my archive photos and found some trucks.  We went to a local showing to meet a friend that then went to the Truck Rally.  It was hot, hot, hot.  It was summer '08...the boys look like babies. :0)

I'll leave you with Batman and the Red, White and Blue waving byebye to ya.

Have a terrific Blue Monday and have fun looking thru the other entries at Smiling Sally.

Persevere

Hello Gang.  I hope it is a lovely day wherever you are today.  It is the Lord's day today and I'm tagging in to Spiritual Sunday with Charlotte and Ginger.

I received a word from the Lord this week and it surprised me.

Persevere

1. to persist in anything undertaken; maintain a purpose in spite of difficulty, obstacles, or discouragement;   

    continue steadfastly.

2. to persist in speech, interrogation, argument, etc.; insist.

3. to bolster, sustain, or uphold: unflagging faith that had persevered him.

Why am I surprised?  Because after 2 years of intense illness...I'm not healed and I may not be healed tomorrow when I wake up...He is asking me to persevere thru it.  He is not gonna move the mountain.

Kinda like this shot my hubby thought was hysterical of me having a cup of coffee and hammerin' away at the tack strip that held our old carpet down and was in the way of our new beautiful flooring.  God loving on us is kinda like when we work on our home...does it really ever end?  1 project leads to another and next thing we know we have to not only have the floor in the living room but the closet, front 3 rooms.  Everything ends up all a mess before it looks beautiful again.

Hence, the name of my blog...Bloomin'

Lord, I'm still bloomin' right here where you planted me and I'll persevere until I've run the race

1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  Hebrews 12:1-2
 

xox!

I won 2 things!!

Hey Ya'll!!  I won!! Twice...

I won the book Blogging for Bliss from Joan at Anything Goes Here, check out her awesome blog.  I just saw today that she is about to hit her 100th post and 500th follower...that means another giveaway coming soon.

I'll try to share some cool stuff I learn from this book.  She also sent some really cool bug tags that I may use on my Boo grams. (see yesterday's post)

I won a contest from Barbara Jean at Treasures from the Heart. 

 She had watch faces/crystals and we had to guess how many were there and I came closest without going over.  I think she'll do this kinda thing again...be "watching" for it. hahahaha

I won some of the watch faces and placed them in my fall display glass apothacary jar with the acorns and rocks.  She also made me a potpouri sachet...black and white toile.  Love it!

I also bought a toile black and white framed piece from her.  Check out her store.

She is also following thru with Get R Done projects...go check her out and be inspired.  I think she's coming up on 200 followers.

Keep your camera close, girlies!!  xox!
