Living Life - Counting One Thousand Gifts

I love those moments in life when everything stops and you realise that all is well. I have remained focused on organising the things in my life so I can do all the amazing things that I was made to do.   Next stop the filing cabinet and my meal planning.

 Joining with Anne at Holy Experience in counting one thousand gifts

One thousand gifts

I have been following A Holy Experience blog for sometime. I have the book One thousand gifts on my wish list and keep intending to write my gifts. We had the opportunity to have Jo Hood from Mainly Music join our church to share. You can hear her words of wisdom here. One thing I took away from the teaching was that intentions never usually amount to much more than a maybe one day. What we need to be is deliberate. So I have a purpose to be thankful for the gifts that I have in my life so I deliberately wrote here and I have printed the June dare. I have begun.

thank you God for 

#1 helping me making a start on something I want to do

Faith at Home

My husband and I attended an amazing Faith at Home introduction session at Northpoint this week. So inspiring! I am glad that I had a notebook to jot down the great bits. The focus was around Deuteronomy 6 At the end of the evening there was a challenge to make a stand for your family and not to forget the Lord. To find a rock as a reminder of the committment made. You know how good something is when you want to do the homework. So I have done it. I found a rock and have written on it Joshua 24:15 'as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord'.

Something new. I am joining in with thousands around the world for a linked up retreat. Looking forward to all it has to offer.

How to get your kids to eat apples

Since having children I have had many differing requests for apple presentation before it will be eaten. On the go we eat them whole but, some like them peeled, some have it sliced. After having a go with a friends peeler/corer/slicer we have been looking out for one ever since. So much fun. The boys can do it themselves and they eat the whole thing.

Polyvore

With the change of season comes a change of wardrobe. I had my clothes sorted into summer and winter collections. After a night out where I needed to get dressed up and being frustrated with sorting through to find my casual clothes I decided it was time for a change. So I now have my wardrobe sorted into casual and dressy. Having just started at Pinterest I came across Polyvore. A great site where you can create outfits from their 'wardrobe'. Great to get ideas for different ways of wearing things and putting together ideas from your own wardrobe.

You can see it here Looking forward to trying more.
