"Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses applied simultaneously. When those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more. He therefore gives you experiences that stimulate growth, understanding, and compassion which polish you for your everlasting benefit."
- Richard G. Scott
MY BROTHERS
"When suffering, we may in fact be nearer to God, than we have been in our entire lives. That knowledge can turn every such situation into a would-be temple. Regarding our earthly journey, the Lord has promised: "I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left. My spirit shall be in your hearts and mine angels round about you to bear you up. That is an everlasting declaration of God's love and care for us and perhaps especially in times of trouble."
My goal for the next month is finishing Abbie's bedroom. Her bedroom has needed painting since we moved in and we finally bought paint on the labor day sale but, still didn't get her room painted until last week. We next turned to doing Abbie's dresser. She helped me to paint her dresser. She picked the color and I love how the stripes turned out. It's not perfect but, when we are all learning...it's never perfect at first. Abbie helped me sand it, paint it then stripe it in the lighter pink color. She loved hanging out with mom and I will definetely have her be my little helper anytime.
Cassy that is so neat how you can just do those things! I need some of those creative genes over here. You all look like you’re doing fantastic; it’s crazy how fast your kido’s are all growing up. I sometimes get to thinking about the short time I spent with your family, I kind of miss it. Thanks again for taking me in… you’re the best! You will have to do some sort of a furniture restoration demo at the nest reunion ~wink~
So I love it! So cute with the stripes! I only have one suggestion, I think you should paint the inside of the desk pink too. Stripes would be fun in it as well. That is my only suggestion, but it is ADORABLE! Good Job. I wanted to see pics of her whole room though. Maybe next time when you get high speed internet :)
Too Cute! Well I don't know if cute is good enough, it is beautiful! I can't wait to see her whole room, she may have to have a late night the next crop night, or a slumber party in another room!:)
Our family consists of us (Reed and I) and three adorable children. Our oldes Isaac is a ball of fun and energy. He started Kindergarten and absolutely loves learning. Abbie is second and is our little darling girl. She is smart and is always keeping us on our toes. Kaden is our baby even though he is no longer a baby. Our baby is two and is growing up before our eyes. We love doing everything fun and like to try a new adventures. The kids love the outdoors and everything that goes with it. We hope you find this blog entertaining and hope that our family and friends are able to keep up on our lives even though time may not permit that we get together as often as we would like. So, Enjoy!!
