Better

Thank you sweet friends for your kind words and prayers.  I'm feeling better and stronger today. I hear being creative is good for the soul, so I did just that....a bit of some "Simply Shelley" creativeness.

Baby Jesus

Made me smile.  I think he's pretty sweet. Bless you all.......Shelley


Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10

Blessings of Hope

It's been quite a week, with the birth of our precious Audrey Alexandra, (a beautiful blessing) then too, a long nine hours of  traveling for a day of court with my son , (child custody case) which was reset, by the way! Then traveling nine hours back.  I feel so physically and emotionally drained. You just have to trust the Lord and keep on keeping on.  Life can sometimes seem like a roller coaster. With so many ups and downs, with sometimes just a few days between.  Such as this week was for me! It can really make ones head spin......, but for God! Being honest with all of you when you fight depression, and I do.... these sort of times make you feel like an emotional basket case.  I've gone around with a lump in my throat and for any little reason, something someone says, or some certain situation may arise which in turn, causes tears to overflow.  Its hard for others to understand, and truthfully ,I don't understand myself at times. It can be embarrassing or very frustrating to just start crying having no control over your emotions, and not even having an answer as to why. Thats where I am, but I'm praying and trusting God..... in his time.....I will overcome depression , as well as other physical and emotional disabilities I won't mention at this time. Mostly know, I'm not giving in to my feelings. I plan on fighting till the end. I'm not seeking sympathy....truly.  I just need to express my feelings, and this seems a good place. If I discourage any of you by sharing this sort of thing, please forgive me. Thank you so much for the very sweet comments on Audrey, she and mommy are doing fine, daddy too :)  Praying your Sunday is restful and blessed.  Shelley

He Lives

Wishing you all a most blessed Resurrection Sunday........Because he lives, we live also!

Have a Heart

My grandson Isaiah raked leaves for me ,and left me a heart  :)

I found this beautiful pot at the charity shop in town....I scrubbed it up,and now I am attempting to sprout hyacinth in it,as well as the little blue pot near the lamp. My mama gave me the zebra...I thought he looks cute among the plant life....kinda like he is in the jungle  :)   The little burlap bear was a gift from my friend Betty for Christmas, isn't he cute?

I leave this flicker light burning day and night...makes for a cosy feeling in my home.

At the cross where I first saw the light...his light!

I think we are bonding and forming a great companionship  :)  Snowie and I !

I pray you all have a blessed weekend and a beautiful Lord's Day on Sunday. The sun is shining so pretty here today and the temps are very nice.....I would love to be out and about browsing some flea market grounds somewhere today.....I do miss those kind of outings.  Blessings, Shelley

More About me....My Faith

Our church is still in Revival.....I received a mighty touch from the Lord tonight, and I must say, God is real, I believe Jesus could very well be coming soon to catch away his Bride, the Church, 1 Thessalonians 4:17. I know most of you know of my faith in Christ, I have never held back on my believing in him as my Lord and Savior, and never would for any reason. My relationship with Christ is the very most important thing in my life. God comes first always.  While , I have shared my Christianity from the start of this blog, I have never share the depth of it, as to the doctrine of my belief and such. I feel I need to at this time, and I am trusting God on this! He knows why! I am Pentecostal, and have been for more than 30 years now. I am Holy Ghost filled , with the evidence of speaking in tongues, just as it happened in Acts chapter 2. I believe in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit , as mention in 1 Corinthians chapter 12. I believe in the laying on of hands, divine healing, and all gifts mentioned in that chapter. Do I believe you must speak in tongues to be saved? No ..you do not have to in order to be saved....all one must do is repent of sin and call on the name of the Lord Jesus, believing him to be God's only begotten son, accepting his sacrifice on the cross as a covering for your sin, in doing so ..you receive your salvation , Act 2:21.  John 3:16 ...For whosoever believes shall be saved. The bible teaches that the Baptism of the Holy Ghost is a gift, available to any saved person.
I am not trying to indoctrinate anyone with this post. I am only sharing my faith with you my friends. I know many of you are Christians as well. I consider any one of you...who claims Jesus as your Savior , my sister in Christ, no matter the doctrine you follow! There will be no Pentecostals, Baptist, Catholics , etc in heaven...only the redeemed of the Lord! If Christianity is not your belief...I still consider  you my friend, but my prayer for you is that some day you too will come to have a relationship with Jesus, and become his follower.  You are all my faithful friends...you have blessed me in so many ways through this blog , and now you all know a little bit more about me....blessings
