"Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek His will in all you do,
and He will show you which path to take."
~~Proverbs 3:5-6~~
I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, and a friend. Jesus is Lord of my life and I strive daily to draw closer to Him. I love being a homemaker---taking care of my family and home. I enjoy couponing, cleaning, and cooking. I love to get the best deal on everything and find that yard sales and thrift stores are the perfect places for that. I have recently felt lead to write a Bible study and have been working on it in my spare time. I truly enjoy leading women's groups as we all seek to grow closer to the Lord. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy reading about what happens as I strive do all of this.

Sisters

An email from my sister prompted this post.  We are almost exactly 10 years apart in age.  I was brought home from the hospital on her 10th birthday.  She has never made me feel as if she was older and I was a baby.  We shared a room until she left home.  She has always been an encouragement to me and when I received her email this morning, it only served to confirm the fact that I am so grateful to not only call her sister, but to call her my friend.  I love her more every single day and am so proud that I am her "little" sister.
She told me in her email that she had heard this song on Pandora and it made her think of me:


Sister I know there’ve been times when you didn't think 
I was a very good friend
Sister you must think I'm out of my mind
It's a struggle sometimes to pretend
But I know what I'm doing 
I know who I am
I know how it works and I'll see where it ends

Sister I need you more now than I ever did
I've been thinking again
I've been thinking again

Life can be tricky and sneak up on you like a tiger looking for
prey
And we've had our share of surprises, 
There must be a good one coming our way
Because we're really all looking, we're really all lost
The less we expect, the smaller the costs

Sister I miss you more now then I ever did
I've been thinking again
I've been thinking again

Things that aren't funny, are funny with you
So I'm better when you are around
And I might say I don't need any advice
But I wear the clothes that I found
In the back of your closet, wherever you hide
Secrets that nobody ever will find

Sister I love you more, then I ever did
I've been thinking again
I've been thinking again

Sister I love you more, then I ever did
I've been thinking again
I've been thinking again
